Since people seem to be throwing down a fairly large number of photoshops & doodles for the new Metal Gear Scanlon series, I thought I would create a centralized thread for people to share! For simplicity's sake, let's keep it to just stuff inspired by the current video series!

Have fun, be creative, and remember: anything is possible when you believe in nanomachines!

• PERHAPS WARNING: MAYBE SPOILERS AHEAD? Who knows what people will photoshop/draw/knit/bake/carve/mold/transfar into existence? If you're a real stickler for being surprised, maybe be careful? I dunno, I'm not clairvoyant.

I really want this thread to go where I want it to go.

Show me the pineapples people. SHOW ME THE PINEAPPLES.

Naked passed out Dan/Johnny please.

That's great work, Koobz.

I haven't been this excited about a Giant Bomb feature in a while. So good.

I'm going to get ahead of the curve on this one and specify that it has to be pixilated/censored nudity like in the game, people. #ModNotice #KeepItCleanPeople #YouMayThinkImPointingOutTheObviousButShush #IKnowGiantBombDoesntSupportHashTags

Anyway, fantastic art! Anything with a Transfarring reference in it is a-okay by me! (The rest of it is great too!)

@mooseymcman Good catch.

I'm eagerly awaiting some sort of Codec conversation between the Double D. And sick Cyborg Ninja poses.

Had I any artistic ability (I botch stick figures!), I'd draw both of them peeking out of a box labelled The Bomb...surrounded by curious guards.

I drew this on Miiverse while watching the first episode, maybe I'll draw some more. I've always wanted to participate more in the Giant Bomb art community.

C'mon, where's Liquid Scanlon?

@buzz_clik: Wow, that's amazing @_@

@buzz_clik: You never fail to amaze.

@buzz_clik: Great work. Also, man, I need fan art that's a picture of Dan as Solid Snake, Drew as Liquid Snake. It's too perfect.

Edit: made it... better?

@koobz: This is SO PERFECT. Oh man, you are the best!

What a thread, what a video series. Could be my favourite in a long time. Drew and Dan have a great chemistry, it's difficult not to have fun watching it. My girlfriend was laughing as hard as I was at Dan's lines. So great

Goddamn it, I wish I could draw as well as you guys, those are all amazing.

here is the one I did!

Drew is the solider we are. Dan is the soldier we want to be.

These are all way too good. Watching this thread FOR SURE. Awesome work gentlemen. Can't wait to see more.

Solid Scanlon goes la li lu le lo

Yisss. I hope someone knows how to properly repaint those buttons and sends them an actual H-button controller.

@koobz: You might want to update your original post with your new pictures as well, because not everyone is going to be "ambitious" enough to keep going through the comments looking for more. Just a suggestion!

Nice and subtle, I love it!

@koobz:

Hot shit, you guys.

Ha! This is fucking great. Love it.

@koobz: Those Codecs! Oh man!

These are all fantastic amazing :D

I'll actually have some Dan and Drew specific drawings to share soonish, but for now, here's this, which I just had to draw when that silly line was said:

Being a genetically-modified future soldier is tough.

@buzz_clik: De...Dexter???

Boom, I'm back! Here's a stab at just a little logo treatment:

My Photoshop skills are not 100% amazing, and I couldn't figure out how to make the reds all uniform in color. Might tinker with it more later. Anyone know when the next episode is going up? I hope they record one before they leave for PAX!

@pabba: Perfect!

@buzz_clik: That's glorious!

What's a little bit weird is that my brother-in-law looks eerily like Drew, enough that this could almost be a stylized picture of him. I'm considering showing it to him, though I doubt he's ever heard of MGS.

I originally posted this in the comments for the first video, but now that they have Codec cams, I may have to redo it.

This is one of greatest things I've ever seen in my life.

I probably missed the boat. Imitating Yoji Skinkawa's art style was frustrating and a bit time consuming. I'm still getting use to using a drawing tablet in Photoshop. I also used a one photo reference because I'm not good enough to draw by memory. The font is Helvetica Ultra Compress and was set in Illustrator. If I have time, I will draw one of Dan. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated and thanks for looking.

@zleunamme: Great job! I think his neck is not defined enough though, gets kind of lost in just some paint colors. Looking forward to Dan's portrait.

So I'm thinkin' we could take this and add our favorite quotes. HERE is the PSD file too so you guys can edit it if you want.

@warmachine: Haha, that's great.

Keep em coming, guys! These are all great.

These are all awesome!

Here is a scribble of Metal Gear Drew punching a baby wolf just like that time he totally punched a baby wolf.

I can't draw baby wolves.

So this upcoming live show is the thrilling conclusion of the MGS block, right?

Seems like it!

But I wonder if they are aware just how long this show could be...
