Ok! so this was the final draft of the banner, I took the time to flesh out shading and light to give the shape and definition. I’d been itching to do some digital art just filling in with grey scale but hadn’t had the time to do it so this was a welcome experiment.I was attempting to make the pic slightly manga style, with the thicker outlines. Using ‘artistic license’ I decided the shoulders needed to be slightly wider and give some muscle definition in the chest and arms.

Hey all,

Well this sketch was some of the first work I did on creating the banner for this site. I wanted something that tied the site together, all my sketches, digital art, designs and comics.

Then while reading some details about past and up-coming Metal Gear games, I suddenly remembered the striking image of Snake (Big Boss really) in his military officers uniform in MGS3. That image stayed with me as it was quite iconic and strong, so I considered doing that but as me.
