Artist's Comments

The title has less to do with the image than my own epiphany. I finally let go of my cheapness and bought some copic markers. I overcame my ink-phobia and drew this. I copied the image from the MGS2 artbook a friend lent me. Hey, screw originality! I needed to practice skill! Anyways, these copics I think will be the key to me drawing like the actual pros!:D Finally, I'll be able to make polished work! Granted, I still need to be more controlled with the pen, and also learn to use Photoshop properly, but that'll come in time I hope.

Oh wow, I really like that! Nice work on those powerful lines, jah; I think you've captured the essence of the mechanical beast real well ;D. Score on the markers 8D! I-isn't that funny that the pros actually know what brands are good? Crayola really only gets you so far ehee XD;; I'm going to have to get me some nice markers/color pencils one of these days :plotting:.

but that'll come in time I hope. Course it will ;D. Any notable skill takes time and energy to master, so practicepracticepractice! Power to ya :w00t:

OMG DDD: That's a hell good job right there! I love how you tappered(I think it is a word..) the background to make it look like it fades. Yes, copics are crazy expensive. xD; But they make you feel like a pro when you use them.

hey man, the inking rocks; i too suffer from inkphobia at times, but i think you kicked its ass. i hope you'll do more in this style, it's great practice to draw strait into ink, even if the result is crappy. this, however, came out great! good work!

Haha, yeah, this doe hark back a little to Koji Shinkawa's works - well the thick marker lines does resmble a little to those thick brush strokes used in the MGS games. I think it's awesome...
