Description
I'm a fanboy of the Metal Gear series since waaaaaay back. As much as I like Solid Snake, I prefer Raiden's new incarnation's design better. So here's a piece of art done roughly in 5 hours time give or take. I painted it loose deliberately except for the head and some parts of the upper torso & chest. Hope you all like it! Thank you Hideo Kojima for the wonderful characters that made them and the game larger than life!

I've never played Metal Gear, but my brother has. And when he is playing. I'm sitting glued to the screen. I just Love MG!!
But he hasn't bought MGS4 yet
Really good picture of my favorite in the games!

Raiden v2 is the MAN. Poor kid got traumatized right out of VR training by having to crawl through Arsenal Gear and get his ass handed to him by everyone from Fatman to a Harrier to Solidus Snake. And then he comes back as 100% Badass.
I love the watercolor-esque shading you have on his limbs. The colors look all liquid and such. Crazy detail, awesome character art.

Anything from the metal gear universe is always really interesting. You did a good job here, I like how you conveyed the suit. The sky however I find quite distracting, the brush marks really pull my eye away and it has a bit of a smudgy look.
But otherwise that's a great painting, the pose is simple but strong, the muscly look of the suit works and I like the overall rough look.
Nice work

Badass.
If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for your art? Do you sketch it first?

Very nice, I love Raiden and you portrayed him well here! One thing to take a note of, his head is a little too small, though not too noticeably. Also maybe try loosening up those stiff cyborg shoulders ^^

The arms seem a bit...stiff. Something about it just looks a little unnatural.
Anyways, pic's cool overall, 'specially the colors. You emulated the style of the person who does the concept art pretty well.

Fantastic job! Raiden's anatomy and pose is outstanding. Love the idea of a detailed head and torso with blurred arms and legs, it reminds me of Yoji Shinkawa illustrations
