MGS2 studyEarly last month, I played MGS1 + 2 for the first time (yes, yes, I know it was long overdue). It was some of the best fun I've had gaming for in a while!
In March I was wanting to experiment with some more painterly rendering in my art, as well as tackle a complex composition wrt poses again. I was up to my ears in university coursework though, so this piece was done over roughly 30 hours, in 1 hour blocks before I went to bed each night. I definitely spent the most amount of time on Snake's face.
I'm really pleased with how vulnerable this piece feels - it's definitely inspired in part by a tough moment Snake and Otacon (and Raiden) have in the second half of the game. ...Unfortunately, I guess I got TOO vulnerable with it, because none of my friends believe me when I tell them it isn't meant to be ship art.
Ah well! Art truly is subjective, eh?Apr 30, 2026
