    Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

    Game » consists of 12 releases. Released Nov 13, 2001

    The follow-up to the 1998 blockbuster, Metal Gear Solid 2 blends tactical stealth and action. This sequel takes the action to an offshore oil cleanup facility seized by terrorists who are holding the President hostage. It helped sell the PS2, featuring advanced AI, physics and cover mechanics for its time, and one of the first postmodern narratives in gaming.

    During the first season of Metal Gear Scanlon I was inspired to make a Solid Scanlon image. I thought it was okay, but it didn't really properly capture the Yoji Shinkawa spirit that I was after. Now, with the current second season of Metal Gear Scanlon exceeding the first (in my mind, at least) I felt the creative urge bubbling up inside me again.

    Of course, the second MGS game ups the ante on so many fronts, so I thought in having another stab at making a Metal Gear Scanlon image I'd better up my game as well. Here is the result. While I'll never be Yoji Shinkawa (and really, who could be?) I'm a lot more satisfied with this effort.

    Man, I can't wait for the endgame of MGS 2 to blow Drew's mind into nanomachine-sized pieces.

    Looks alright, but could use a second pass - the facial proportions are off.

    Consumed! Nicely done!

    Man, I've been wanting to take a stab at his style since the series began but I just can't find the time. Also, there are a few of these floating around and they're all so damn good I feel like I wouldn't be adding anything to the pool at this point >,<

    Maybe if MGS3 is great...

    That wolf emblem is pretty....... SOLID!

    Sorry.

    I really like both this and your Solid Scanlon image. You definitely captured the style of Yoji Shinkawa better in this than the previous art. That Solid Scanlon art is really fantastic though. That's probably my favorite of the two. It's awesome seeing so many duders doing Metal Gear Scanlon art. Good stuff buzz_clik!

    Ryckert looks kinda fat

    I think he's supposed to. They both have features that mix both those of Drew and Dan, and the colonel and snake. That's a difficult trick. Love the style, man. Good work.
