| 48. A Character from a Board or Video Game - Psycho Mantis |
This is for number 48 - 'A Character from a Board of Video Game' - in the 365 Days of Art Challenge that I'm doing (really should rename it at this point!).
This character is one of my favourites: Psycho Mantis from the Metal Gear Solid series. Looking like this, he appears in MGS, MGS: Twin Snakes (basically a remake of the first game), and briefly in MGS4: Guns of the Patriots, but he's also in MGSV: The Phantom Pain, as a child known as Tretij Rebenok (Third Child in Russian). He didn't have fire in MGS and MGS4, but he does in Twin Snakes and MGSV. So, just because I didn't feel like drawing him levitating furniture and vases around, he has something resembling fire instead.

Despite Mantis being a one of my favourites for a long time, I've never actually tried to draw him (or fire) before, so I don't think it's so terrible for a first attempt. Maybe.
Looks awesome! I love how you drew the fire, and the glow of it against his ribs and clothes!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) That was actually the quickest bit to draw (well, not his ribs. Those were a pain at first!)
