New character!

Story of the Character

David is the son/clone of the legendary Solid Snake. Though tons out there believe this to be just a false rumor, due to it being once said that Snake had never had any relationships with any woman, & was impossible to clone or pass on any genes.

But until the 30th century, it was made possible to clean out Snake's last blood sample (taken by Naomi, & was later found years after her death) & clone it out. However, to 'clone' Snake, it was required the use of a surrogate mother. The same way it was done to clone Big Boss.

After his birth, David (as his surrogate mother named him before being taken away) was then used to recreate the once legendary hero, only this time, he would be part machine. At the age of 17, he had been strange having images of war, Snake (his father), & many other stuff appear in his head. Wanting answers, he managed to escape his chamber (thanks to his half bionic body), & search for answers.

He learned tons about his father, whom he'll never have a chance to meet in person, but he had not known anything about his mother. Searching the building, he came to a lonely, dark cell. There, he found his mother, slowly dying. He held her in his arms, & she smiled at him. David's mother handed him her necklace, & then died in his arms.

Enraged, he destroyed the entire laboratory/building. But many of the scientists who created him escaped.

About the Character

David is a solitary, dark, & quiet person. He prefers to be alone, but doesn't mind the company of some friends. Though he is short tempered & moody, especially when people around him stare & rumor about his origins. He enjoys soccer, rugby, & tennis, watching movies, listening to movies, & taking strolls down the park.

Although he almost resembles his father in many ways, he prefers to be referred to as as son, rather than a clone. His brain was programmed with every language & fighting style possible, & has an IQ higher than his dad's (210). His most prized possession is the necklace his surrogate mother gave him, & her ashes. There are days where David can be caught wearing a bandanna, giving him an almost identical appereance to Solid Snake. The only difference between David & his dad (also named David), is that David (son) has caramel colored eyes.

Currently, he lives with his adoptive mother, Renesmee [link] & adoptive brother Milo [link] .

About the Drawing

Ok before I say anything more, don't complain/baww to me about his story. Yes, I made this guy the son of Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid. I wanted to do this. I'll be asking Hideo Kojima (after I start working on my project that is) himself if I can use the back story of this character for my series. If he doesn't want me to, the Ill just use the backup one I have.

Anyways, this guy right here has been giving me hardcore trouble designing him. I finally chose a pose for him, & his clothing. The only problem I was having with him was his hair. I wanted him t look as similar to Snake as possible, but I just wasn't feeling the semi-long hair, so I just cut it short, & left a few long strands on his forehead.

He's 18 BTW

Hope you like it.

The back story is well done. You are really showing some great ideas!
As far as the work itself, it is nicely done. The work may be a different style than the game, but still eye catching. I agree with Largits about the proportions being a bit off. I think that if his head were a little bigger and a tad wider, it would come together.
All in all, really "soild" work

If you had not written any backstory, I would never have related the character with Metal Gear. The design looks generic, the pose looks too causal, and he looks too muscular for a character that's supposed to be another Snake clone. And the anime eyes don't work for a character like that.

It's like you're trying too hard to deviate from Snake, while trying to relate it to the series somehow. Clones tend to be similar to each other, look at how similar Naked Snake and Solid Snake are.

Well it is my style so it won't really look much like MGS.

Well I wanted to make him more like a normal teen than something extremely identical to Snake. I mean, I wanted to give this guy a normal teen look, & then maybe later on make him similar to Snake. Thanks for the info.

Pakaku In reply to KooboriSapphire [2010-10-30 04:23:24 +0000 UTC]

Normal teens usually aren't so muscular. Is there a reason behind having a character that is 18, his physique, etc?

Well, I just draw them like that I didn't know there needed to be a reason for everything.

the story on this one lett you pass
you got lucky

i like his pose, allthough it's still a line sketch, allthough the proportions aren't all correct, it still feels natural, because we don't have an example, you created your own kind of human (if i would see this guy on the street i would probably run like hell) and gave it your own perception

good job!

This is really good. you have very nice clean and bold lines. My style is so scratchy in comparison. This looks like it has been influenced by DBZ, am i right? Those huge arms are somewhat signature lol. the trousers are good because the simple folds are in the right place and make it look 3d.

However, talking of 3d, this drawing is completely devoid of shading and seriously, shading does a lot. Decide where your light source is coming from and go for it. you'll see a huge improvement!

KooboriSapphire In reply to Rivalhopeso [2010-10-21 02:27:47 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, & no, I was influenced by everything else but DBZ (you see, I hate that anime). Lol the trousers.

And about shading, ehh, I don't really plan to, I plan to fuly color it once I get a tablet.

Rivalhopeso In reply to KooboriSapphire [2010-10-21 18:24:16 +0000 UTC]

lol you hate DBZ? ahh it's a classic. Well i meant it as a compliment anyways

Well in that case make sure you shade it when you colour it. trust me and try it out.

KooboriSapphire In reply to Rivalhopeso [2010-10-21 20:57:08 +0000 UTC]

I know, but, Sailor Moon is more of a classic than DBZ any day.

Yeah, will do.

excellent work on the muscles, but a touch of shading would really make this wonderful.
