Amazing. This style almost looks exactly like Yoji Shinkawa's! I love the realism, the shading, and the Photoshop effects are so nice! I love the watercolor stylings you put by the cigarette, the hair's detail is magnificent! Honestly, I could just spend my time staring at this and praising it all day! This is such a magnificent look you put to the picture!
I'm trying to figure out who this is..but, is this either Liquid Ocelot, Big Boss, Or Old Snake? I'm a little clueless, sorry.

Old Snake he be aye!
Thanks for the comment I appreciate it, I adore Yoji's style and fluidity in his ink work...
I do plan on illustrating Solid Snake (Younger) and Big Boss as side on portraits similar to this, with different markings and colours...
Thanks again!

Oh I see! I didn't see the bandana across his head, so I was clueless.
No problem. Yoji Shinkawa is probably one of my favorite video game artists along with Kita Senri. I think you did awesome with this pic, you really did Old Snake justice! I betcha Shinkawa and Kojima would be proud!
Ohh, do I hope to see that! I'd like to see you illustrate Solid Snake from the first game, a lot of artists tend to give him the facial hair and the mullet from MGS2. It'd be refreshing to see someone draw him clean-shaven like from MGS1!

Many thanks I personally love the retro cover to the original MG, where back then he was modelled after Kurt Russell

Yeah, I like the intensity of the picture. ^^ It was really interesting. My personal favorite is the cover for Metal Gear Solid 2 though, I love how they used the colors and the artwork. ^^

Would you mind if I made a background out of this picture? I would certainly credit you for it.
