Another Illustrator drawing to add to the site. I seem to be doing nothing but these just lately. I dunno why but I just love doing them, it's really enjoyable and a great way to fight boredom. This image is of Solid Snake, one of the coolest videogame characters in history and probably my second fave character after Dante from Devil May Cry. The original image is one of the concept sketches from the game.

The image was quite easy to make, I just made it up of the parts on the original image that were shaded. At first I wasn't sure if the technique would work and after a bit of working on the face I couldn't really see it building up into the image, but I stuck with it and after a while I ended up being able to finally see what I was aiming for. Theres no colour in it because I made a conscious decision not to put any in, although I may yet end up going back on my decision and adding some in, so keep an eye out in the future for an updated version. I think the image turned out quite well to be honest, and it didn't take me that long to do, no more than a couple of hours. I like it :-)
