Oestricelot, Liquid Scoops & Dotacon (Update 2!)

Update: 9-Nov-2014

Revolver Oestricelot.

Liquid SCOOOOPS.

Dotacon. It stands for Dota Convention.

So yeah it's been a while since I updated. Tried to do something a little different with each of the above. I plan to get around to Rorie, Alex and Vinny eventually.

I'll be honest, I feel myself deviating from Shinkawa's style. Hopefully it's still somewhat recognizably MGS-ish. If not...ehh.

I love Yoji Shinkawa's art for MGS series, so I thought I'd attempt to make some Metal Gear Scanlon fan-art in his style.

Done using a Pentel Brush Pen, a 0.3mm Letraset Fine Line Pen and Copic Markers (Neutral Grey), with some Photoshop tweaking. The Drew one was my first real attempt at mimicking Shinkawa's style and I ended up having to make a lot of edits in Photoshop (in retrospect I was being quite lazy and probably should have redone it instead). I think it turned out OK though. My second attempt, i.e. Dan, went a whole lot smoother.

It was fun. I may move onto the rest of the Bombcrew, if people want to see that..

That looks fantastic!

They are appropriately grizzled.

Wow, great work!

That's pretty awesome. Nice work!

This is amazing!

These are fantastic, definitely would like to see the rest of the staff.

Awesome work, I'll second seeing the rest of the staff. And then a background with all of them on it.

They look amazing, awesome job.

@danryckert: Thanks Dan, glad you like it!

@getz: @jonnynb: @amyggen: @corevi: Thanks duders!

Holy shit this is good.

I really like the reflected light off the ink in the "dan" portrait. Man, i miss physical media. Great stuff

Nice, well done.

Dude holy shit I wish I could do stuff like that.

Just wanted to add that I totally said "Holy shit" when I opened this thread.

Wow, really great job! Dan looks so menacing.

As Dave Lang would say: wowowowowow

The real Dan is about as intimidating as a sleepy kitten.

@majid: @pabba: @wolf_blitzer85: @wallee321: @sin4profit: @fear_the_booboo: @undrey: @dwigtk: Thanks guys!

Holy shit this is amazing

Holy crap, That's amazing.

Very nice work.

EXCELLENTE!

Vulcan Ryckert, averaged sized and cool guy

That's incredible, holy crap.

Awesome work! This will help tide over the wait for Metal Gear Scanlon series 2.

@drewbert@danryckert

@marino here's another one for the community spotlight.

Paging @zombiepie for Community Spotlight.

These are the best MGS/GB art to come yet. The contrast, blend-fullness of thick and thin strokes, and overall attention to detail is incredible.

Awesome work dude!

@sanj: Nice work. You're on the front page of the site now.

@theht: @pimblycharles: @mrfluke: @officer_falcon: @csl316: @eladren: @splodge: @mister_v: @marc: Thanks peeps! I appreciate the kind words.

Now I feel like making more MGS/GB art.

Edit:

@marino: Holy mackerel. That's awesome. Thanks!

Holy actual shit, man. Wow. it's hard to describe but these are so awesome I'm getting excited just looking at them.

Drew is a naturally fierce-looking dude, but that you managed to make Dan both immediately recognizable and also pretty badass is hard to comprehend. Incredible work, just absolutely stunning.

These seem too dark. For the style that you were trying to imitate, that is.

I love it, @sanj! I've always loved Shinkawa's art and at least to my eyes you did a really good job matching the style.

@kung_fu_viking: I actually agree, his work typically isn't as heavy with the black shadow. I guess this is a mix of his and my own thing. Maybe in my next go i'll try getting closer to his.

@the_nubster: Thanks duder! I was hoping they'd still be recognizable within all the black shadow.

I'd like to disagree with the whole getting close to Shinkawa's style of contrast. You have a better sense of dark versus light. Use your own style and heart. That's what makes these so special.

Cybog Ninja Jeff?

thats really impressive, perhaps do all of the duders as a cast of Metal Gear game boss enemies?

That's seriously awesome duder. Great job!

These are both awesome. I don't know how some people just sit down and replicate another person's style like. Crazy!

Wow, these are AMAZING. What's next? (D)otabrad? Psycho Vinny? Cyber Jason? Colonel Gerstmann? I can't wait to see what you think of.

Dude these are amazing!

This is Ryckert's territory! Drews don't belong in Alaska!

Great work man. Definitely make the rest of the crew and then send them the files to be used on the set

This is fantastic. We just need to figure out how to send it to Drew. Can pigeons fly to Vietnam?

Those are super rad duder! I love the nano machines.

Excellent job sir.I love this guys art for MG. Have a book of it lying around here somewhere. Really should dig that out sometime.

These are incredible! You're super talented! I love that Drew picture a lot, that's really impressive for your first attempt

This is amazing.

holy cow that's incredible! Nice work Sanj

First post, just have to say these are fantastic! "You're pretty good!"

I'd buy prints of these. No joke. They're absolutely fantastic.
