Description
"Snake what happened?! Snake?! SNAAAAKEE" *theme music*. I LOVE Metal Gear Solid. My favorite series of games of ALL TIME. So I wanted to do some fan art. But at the same time I wanted to test my skill. I wanted to see how well I could portray Snake from MGS1 in my own way using only the action figure I have as reference which you can see here [link] . Well this turned out to be a billion times harder than I thought it would. It was just a pain. But I learned a lot while doing it and I got better. So it was great practice. So heres what I'm thinking. I'm thinking I'm gonna do a pin up of every character from MGS1. And then when I'm finally done with all of those I'm gonna put them all together to make a big poster of them all. And I'm gonna look up any copyright laws that would prevent me from selling them cuz I'm gonna try and sell them. So ya. My neck hurts. My wrist hurts. Sleepy time.-ZhouRules (Chris Shehan)

Can you draw in the style of Ashley Woods?
We're currently working on a remake of the original MSX Metal Gear and came across your artwork. We're looking on doing the cutscenes in a comic style, similar to Peace Walker and would love it if you could be on our team.
Let us know.

You can also check the progress of the game here; www.moddb.com/mods/metal-gear-…

I'm struggling to come up with something witty. All I've got is "Yes. Your solid snake in my metal gear?" but that sounds just horrible. GAWD. AWFUL.
And yer welcome, love ^_^

Aw, I was hoping it was a real snake... you got me all excited and shot me down!
Nice work though. You'll have to show me how you're doing your textures. That's something I really need to work on.

You know what. I should have put one in the image. A snake. Like by his name. And I still haven't perfected the texture thing yet, but I'm definitely getting the hang of it so on my next livestream if you're there I'll do an example for you and try to explain it as good as i can.

what do you mean you add it by hand? well I'll definitely help you. since you help me with the stuff you're better than me at.

Like instead of using a texture you draw in each individual dot, string, fur, scale, etc.
Na, I'd say we're on the same level. I wish I had more time to work on art projects.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you're better than me at certain things though. were about even but i know things you don't and you know things i don't. i wish you had more time too. id like to see more from you!

Yeah, its not just time though, its also my wrists. Howell was saying I should do some traditional art and I think I might. I'm faster at it, I just hate the mess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
traditional saves my wrists when it involves brushes. its a nice warm up. my sketchbook is full of ink i use brushes with.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love the texture control you get with traditional brushes.

oh ya definitely. something tablets haven't been able to figure out yet. but they're getting pretty close.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its not the tablet that's the problem, its the software. Photoshop comes close with its jitter feature, but that's the only one I've found so far that's decent.

Beautiful! and very detailed, great ref for the vest

Thank you! I always dug the way his vest was in the first game so I liked doing it and adding my own touch to it.

Chris, this looks absolutely stunning, incredible, fantastic and amazing all balled up into one. Did I mention stunning?
You're an incredible artist and you get better with every piece you do. I just do not know what else to say that I haven't stated before. I am just thoroughly impressed with everything that you create and love watching you get better with every illustration.
By the way my latest journal does not apply to you. Simple response from you is allowed because we comment on each other all the time.

thanks! I think I still need to work on colors and composition. But I'm starting to get the hang of this! I'm in Dallas right now and gonna meet with Robot Entertainment today so I had to finish that as soon as I could.
