When I first saw this art on InsideMK's Facebook page I hoped it was a leak (hype for MK10!) but after some research it is not. In fact, this is artwork from 2010, dating before Mortal Kombat 9 even came out. Done by Senior Artist at NetherRealm Studios, Solomon Gaitan, these models are his take on the Outworld Emperor.
How his version compares to the 2011 Mortal Kombat 9 Shao Kahn is he has more armor, different spikes and a "louder" helmet. Below are a few images taken from GameOverWeb.fr as well as zbrushcentral.com.
See how it compares to his 2011 Mortal Kombat 9 look...
