(entry: Carlitos)
...here's a bit of a close-up of that 'Solid Snake' piece I posted yesterday, since the previous scan was fairly small and someone made the good point that 'Snake's' face looked less defined in the 'new version' (which I agree with, judging from that particular image)
...so here's this one, that way you can see a bit more of the work that went into his face and torso area.
Someone had also asked if this piece was 'available', and the answer is , so far, yes! :) ...I am just now starting to make some of the work I've done available online over at: ComicArtFans.com, so go check it out and help out my "I-need-to-buy-new-toys-fund" ..heheheh :)
peace'

Thanks for the closeup Carlos. I think this piece is great. Looking at it reminds me of how great the first Metal Gear Solid was and I think your piece really captures the feel of Snake. Dark, gritty and dangerous. Hmm, so who wins in duel, Solid Snake or Grifter?
You are right. At a higher resolution, it is clear there is a lot great detail that has gone into this image.
I am especially liking the cross-hatching done on all of the neoprene belt portions of his suit ... and the nice distinction in washing intensity on his gun, and his upper torso (which is further back in the shadows).
This up-close image also brings out the excellent job done on adding real depth to the original inking (like the small white highlights added to the upper shoulder and leg pouch).
Aww man, the cardboard box is his best weapon! Especially Box C, I love box C, lol. Ok, I'll buy Grifter beats Snake one on one, but Grifter taking on Midnighter hand to hand, those are fightin' words Carlos, hehe. I do agree with you that writers tend to write Grifter as purely a two guns guy. Lets hope Mr. Morrison gives Grifter his chance to show off that Coda training.
Sweet! You have a great wash style. Very gritty.
