Description
Poster art for the rare and hard to get "Metal Gear X". In fact, so rare that it doesn't exist anywhere!The characters from top to bottom and left to right featured in the game are: The Boss, Metal Gear Chameleon, Hamid Al Muhammad, Paz (Grown up), Thin Man and Little Boy (Thin Man wears the tie), The Idiot (the smiling guy, based on me), Miller, Naked Snake (getting on up in his years), Black Cobra, and Colonel Peterson (who's literally haunted by Vietnamese villagers).
Ah, how I'd love to have some small part in the official Metal Gear mythos but some things are not meant to be. This was just a little something I drew for fun.

Awesome composition! And while I'm not familiar with Metal Gear, those are some really neat looking characters.

Thank you, Diego. I find drawing other people's characters fascinating, as I don't wish to fall in the trap of making everyone I draw look exactly the same. It helps me be more versatile as an artist.

I hadn't considered that, but that's a great observation, Zoe. And that's quite frequent in comics, I guess, to see artists drawing different characters that look all very similar. I struggle with that, too, when trying to come up with a character. Like the facial features look very similar to me, etc. On the other hand, I'm one of those guys who have a very hard time making every character look the same from one panel to the other. I've got to balance that stuff, and the exercise of drawing someone else's characters sounds like a wise thing to do.

Thanks, Rodger. I hope it's not too busy. Sometimes I try to put too much into an image.

Heh, your characters fit in with the MGS ones surprisingly well.

Thanks! I tried some rather strange and random characters, which I think does fir in the Metal Gear universe.

That's whacked. Makes me wish I had continued to study music.

Thanks, Larry! I just realized but this is the first time in a while since I've drawn Opey. Good to draw that kid again.
