Finished Mg2 Yesterday. One Of My Favourite Parts Is The Locker Full Of Venomous Hamsters. Glad To See

Ugh. I’ve only got 8 kb allocated for a personality

idk why y'all hating on huey, he's one of the most based characters so far (jk):

- put skullface out of his misery, ending his suffering despite being wronged by him too, not letting the vengefulness get the best of him

- freed the world from strangelove, a person who committed atrocious crime against love (ai gf), sealing her inside her own vicious creation

- seeing how small and weak kids are, tried to level his son's ability to stand his ground against all the warmongers by making him a mecha pilot

hell yeah, bro gets the struggle

i remember playing mgs right after the "awkward phase" (which was a mullet in my case) of growing out hair and thinking "damn, almost everybody in mgs has a mullet, i could rock an epic hairstyle like that this entire time?" and then it turned out that actually no i couldn't, gottem lmao

either that or huge haircut choice and hair styling skill issue on my side (entirely possible)

literally me when my overgrown short hair is long enough to put in a ponytail:

when you can’t evEN SAY‼️mY NAme❗️

today's line of action. got some clothed pics for the long ones for change - glad that i can draw clothes better than before.

i am reaching the point where i get frustrated at being not good enough more than i have fun, but i think i will get through it since i have company and drawabox exercises that aren't portrait drawing.

this was a fun study. i think i'm finished with this photo, might try different ones in the future. looks a lot less white washed to me (or did look at some point, lol), although he still has the white man stare (one eye at least) and his lips are too full, as well as many other minor mistakes. anyway i improved and i'm glad.

sketch from a pic i've been sent on tumblr, waow

ngl im unsure it looks as good as the original but i had fun drawing it, especially the hair and the tanlines

2nd digital line of action. hopefully tomorrow will bother roommate to show me how to shade. drawing lines is still hard and slower than pencil or pen, but i like to think it's a bit better than the previous one. tried shading the long one with lines but failed and ctrl+z'd it. overall rather satisfied

Every few years remember about the Metal Gear franchise, go through the games, read the lore again. This year I found the MGS1 artbook I got when I was 11, and now not being 11 and looking back through it I’ve really gone on a journey of wonderment and confusion looking at the early versions of everything. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW:

Extreme Fishin’ Miller

Casual Snake

Rad Liquid & Sad Liquid

Good ol’ Faceless Frank

Mantis concepts feat. such strong looks as ‘lunchbreak’, ‘invisible handcuffs’, and ‘dick sounds’.

Otacon and Otacon run through a tiny face filter.

/These/

Snake-Meryl (Sneryl) and Flamethrower Mei Ling who I am ASHAMED do not exist

Utterly terrifying Veiny Raven and less terrifying Mange Raven

And of course, Punk Rock Mantis.

Calling my gf “girlfriend” in the same cadence Solid Snake would say “colonel” is so fun

Happy holidays everyone! Please, accept my MGS babies as a humble gift to y'all <3
