Description Another Metal Gear fanart. Sorry to those who won't understand

Anyway, I was bored and this popped into my mind. XD As all of you who have played MGS know, the Meryl ending is the official ending, and SnakexMeryl is canon.


But sometime before the MGS2 timeline, they apparently broke up for some unknown reason... o-o

This would be one of my crazy guesses. Most likely it would be obsolete by the time MGS4 is released this June. Hopefully they'll reveal why.

Anyway, those girls behind Meryl are women from the first two Metal Gear games who have had some feelings for him.
Took some artistic license in drawing them, so sorry if they suck.

From the left:

Ellen Madnar: [link]
Her pixel sprite was wearing a red dress... o-o I found that weird.

Holly White: [link]
Apparently Snake and Holly had mutual feelings for each other. Meryl's most pissed about her, I think. XD she was the cutest, but I drew her worst. -_-

It bothers me that the new version of her looks like a mix of the girls in the series. She has Mei Ling's face ponytail, and microphone thing, the color of EVA's clothes and hair, and The Boss' bandana. At first I thought she was a readhead. And like her name implies, she's really pale....

Diane: [link]
This girl's style is so tacky. >_< It's so... 80's. Haha. Wouldn't blame her. It was drawn in the 80's. She had feelings for Snake, but never confessed them. She reminds me of a female Cloud here.


Sorry about the stupid lettering/inking -_- . Haven't really drawn comics in a long time. So if the text is difficult to read:

Meryl: Who are these women??
Snake: I-er,uh-
Meryl: "..Never been interested in anyone else's life..." Weren't those your EXACT WORDS?!?!
Snake: Wait, I- I can explain!!!
Meryl: Well?!?

Ellen: I refuse to marry any other man!
Holly: Snake, what about that dinner you promised to take me to?
Diane: ...
Diane's inner fangirl: KYAA~!

Who can forget Gustava? XD I considered drawing her in, but she was more in love with Fox, really. I do think Snake had a little crush on her. XD

The last girl is Diane, from Metal Gear 2.

Since this is a tribute to Metal Gear girls who liked Snake before MGS1, Naomi and Mei Ling weren't included. Besides, I don't think Naomi and Mei Ling liked Snake that way. Haha.

IAM-ARTIST In reply to ??? [2011-01-31 01:51:51 +0000 UTC]

I never played the original Metal Gears, but after being introduced to Metal Gear lore, it really does beg the question if Snake has ever come into contact with any of these girls since they last met. I wonder what reaction they would have if they saw his elderly face.

Yeesh, I've never played the original Metal Gear Solid, and even I found Meryl marrying Johnny to be......weird....

TheSketcher In reply to IAM-ARTIST [2011-01-31 13:30:53 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, don't worry, I haven't finished the original games either. And a lot of people have been asking what their reactions would be like after seeing Old Snake... maybe I should draw a sequel to this drawing soon.

I've played it. And the idea is outrageous. She beats him up and steals his clothes on their first encounter, and ten years later they're wed... the hell??

nice fan art there!!! dont understand yet why they broke up, since I haven't played the MGS4 just saw the cutscenes from you tube. When I played Twin snakes I thought Meryl and Snake would be together, then in the next game Meryl did not appeared, no reason told, so could you explained me why they broke up? Meryl appeared until MGS4 right? Then I learned she married John well, it's sad our hero died old, withouth Meryl and suiced.... SAD THING

TheSketcher In reply to Mayky-tori [2010-12-22 03:50:32 +0000 UTC]

No one really knows why they broke up... it was implied that Snake left her, though. D;

Mayky-tori In reply to TheSketcher [2010-12-22 16:48:05 +0000 UTC]

I see.... but from which fact do you stablish he left her and not Meryl left him? I think I have to search in the game Snake eater XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheSketcher In reply to Mayky-tori [2010-12-22 17:44:03 +0000 UTC]

Er. Snake Eater tells of Big Boss, not Solid Snake.

It was implied by Meryl in MGS4 that he left her, but in MGS2, I think it was implied that Meryl left him. Take your pick.

I found an useful link in you tube: [link]
its in spanish but I think you can find it in English. Its "Snakes tales" in the game MGS2 "Substance", according to this tale Meryl left him to fix a personal business... well maybe you already knew this XD Merry Christmas... I have other question:
Did Snake have other loves besied meryl

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheSketcher In reply to Mayky-tori [2010-12-23 04:17:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I was referring to that.xD But they don't really consider it "canon." Meaning, it's unrelated to the whole series because it's a side-story. (also in Snake tales, Mei Ling was married to Solidus.... o___o;

Hmmm. It's easy to say that Snake was Meryl's first love. But as for Snake, it was never said that he got into a serious relationship with any other girl. He flirted with Holly White in MG2 (the blonde one in this drawing), Mei Ling, and Naomi, but that's it.

I hope that answers your question. And Merry Christmas. Have a good one.
