Studios artist Justin Murray shared some of his concept art for Mileena, Ferra, and Torr as they appear in Mortal Kombat X. Now, Murray is back with another batch of concept art, this time for the series’ master of souls, Ermac.</p> <p>The concept art shows a good number of concepts for the soul warrior, including some that didn’t make it into the final game. The most interesting one among these is definitely the version where Ermac is unmasked and totally devoid of his trademark red, all the while looking stockier than the svelte warrior we see in the final game, but every piece is a unique take on the classic fighter.</p> <p>We’ve shared some of these concepts below, but be sure to head on over to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180215193746/http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?id=157704" target="_blank">Mortal Kombat Online</a> for the rest.</p> <div class="tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized" data-original-width="1084" data-carousel-extra="{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"http:\/\/shoryuken.com\/2015\/05\/13\/mortal-kombat-x-artist-shares-early-ermac-concepts\/","likes_blog_id":23981336}" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageGallery"> <div class="gallery-row" style="width: 1084px;
