Schwarzerblitz 10th Anniversary - Mystery Johnson

This is Mystery Johnson’s model that I finished recently for Schwarzerblitz’s May 2026 fan art call

Johnson is the game’s main protagonist. Faceless, amnesiac and a former test subject. A prototype of the game’s main villain (which I hope I get to make in the future) albeit flawed and inferior, which is a good thing cause he gets to keep his autonomy and self awareness.

John knows how to fight and defend himself, even though he has not been trained in any martial art specifically. Still he will manage to roundhouse kick you across the room if necessary. Don’t touch the fedora.

Looks really great! Congratulations! ^^ And also props to the animator :+1:t2:
What was the hardest part for you making this? And how did you resolve that?

Definitely figuring out how I would make his body organically, considering how the original model looked like. I spent several days discussing with Andrea to find the right path to take and the most fitting references and media to base myself with

In the end I really just took notes from Noob & Smoke in 3D era MK, I also used the Walrider in Outlast as reference. I was planning to make him even less humanoid but that would have been too crazy considering he’s a prototype, not the actual finished product
