Description
Many thanks to you guys who have taken the time to comment on my site also, it's great to hear from youPlease feel free to visit 2D Forever
Have you played through Metal Gear Solid 4? If not, I recommend doing it now. It's a painful endurance, but worth it.
For those who have completed it, you will know why I did this. I'm trying my best not to spoil anything here, but... (the picture doesn't help) As much as I want to talk about it, I'll keep my thoughts about it all to myself.
For this MGS piece, I chose to keep it quite rough for two reasons.
Firstly, I didn't want to smooth out the skin too much, as it suited being rough. Second... it takes half the time! There isn't exactly loads of thought behind this other than "I wanted to draw Big Boss", so simple was fine by me.
I was also going to colour it, but wasn't exactly sure what to do, so I went into greyscale and thought it worked rather well. It's nothing special, but fun to draw.
I'm not overly happy about the gun in the foreground, it doesn't really stand out as much as I'd want it to, and kind of hard to tell what it is unless you've played lots of first person shooters! But I felt it necessary, just to represent something from MGS4...

"It's over. Time for you to put aside the gun... And live.
Seriously, I cried in the end of the game...a marvelous ending for a tired soldier who suffered so much for what he believed and now he could finally live the rest of his live.
And I loved your fanart! The black-and-white mood fits perfectly! Almost crying again here. Γ__Γ
Anyway, I salute your marvelous work, sir!

It's a very poignant moment.
It all began with a bunch of old fools. Now they've all passed away, their era of folly is over.

I almost would have preferred it without the gun, but as a throwback to the games it works well in its own right. Very nice detail on Big Boss though, greyscale suits it perfectly.

I agree! Metal Gear Solid 4 was certainly a painful endurance. ;~; I really never cried so much in any game, ever! Great job on this piece, I love the lighting!

"Damn it!... No good... I can't do it... !!!" Hehe, for some reason that picture reminded me of snake aiming his stinger at Grey Fox.

This pic is very strong, I feel like I'm seeing B.Boss through Snake's eyes.
Great job!

ΒΏThe Epilogue?
Well, I'd watch it too, there are high quality videos on Youtube with the epilogue if you are interested.
I love it too, it's really... well, touching. How they get a long so well in the end.

This is great. I read that you planed to color it but I think the greyscale makes it look awsome.
I did play this one and that was a shocker, nice work

Was playing MGS4 - Father & Son and I got a sudden urge to look for Big Boss work. Yours caught my eye and made me remember the ending. I really loved that scene!
Really nice coloring!

Same here! That song is so touching - every time I hear it, it makes me tear up and want to stand and salute. I am a clarinet player, and I figured out the melody to the piece by ear. I would play it as a warm-up before wind ensemble rehearsals and doing so would always send chills down my spine. Harry Gregson-Williams really outdid himself composing this score - I feel like it's a high water mark in video game music. ^_^

Am I the only person that thinks that he looks like Doctor House?
or am I just that anti-sociopathic? D:

Maybe you just watch too much of it
No, it does strike a little bit of resemblance. Mostly in the mouth and sad eyes I guess?
