Description I admit, I liked Raiden. Not because he was a pretty boy, but because he was a big-ass dork. Biggest dork EVER. That made him extremely likeable for me. I also enjoy Raiden's new look in MGS4, because it is the biggest "FUCK YOU!" ever from Kojima to whiney MGS fanboys that bitched about Raiden in MGS2.

I think I'm one of only a few people on Earth who enjoys Jack and Rose's story and conversations. Most people hate it, but I like it! And I loved Raiden's character, even if he's a bit quirky.

This looks great!

Awesome. Nailed it when it comes to his feminine side, which you bring up in his curves. But the twisted expression and his katana make him all bad ass again.

sgmlos [2008-04-09 17:52:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh also, I don't think Raiden is a dork. Big Boss in MGS3 was a way BIGGER dork than I've ever seen.

Ahhh LOVE this art! really nice keep up the good work.

I just realised something, Raiden's pos in this picture is similar to Grey Fox's official artwork. I've seen the same pose in MGS official artbook.

[link]

You guys say it's "feminine" so Grey Fox had the same pose does that mean he's "feminine" lol whatever, you Raiden haters are immature fags!!!

It is supposed to be "elegant" which most ninja's are! anyway toodles.

Amen to that. xD I liked Raiden, and the scene with him and Vamp fighting in the MGS4 trailer is all the more reason for me to get this game. ^^

Wonderfully done!

ShameAndBlame [2006-10-13 23:14:55 +0000 UTC]

Awesome picture! I like Raiden! And not because he is a dork, becuase I don't think that he is. Well, I'll admit that the english dub was... disappointing. I think that is part of why he is so disliked by the english speaking gamers. In japan he is actually a rather popular chap. And I think that has to do with the voice. In the japanese version his voice is even more bad ass than snake's even. I think the slightly feminine english voice changes the whole character and makes him appear more ... dorky. Makes him appear very clueless and weak-willed. I wish mgs 4 would come out with japanese language and english subtitles rather than english dub. The dubs really ruins games.

Nice work on that style!!

The hips were big in mgs2 if I remember...The camera angle from behind was very disturbing, I kept forgetting it was a dude XD

I hate and hated Raiden, but he was fun to hate. And I think it was a good move as in, Snake was still in MGS2 a lot, and he looked cooler too, as I wasn't controlling him and doing stupid things like fall into traps all the time, accidently blow stuff up etc

JenZee [2006-09-02 07:31:18 +0000 UTC]

YES! I've been staying away from the MGS4 trailers until just recently because I knew I'd go all fangirl over it as soon as I saw it. I JUST ABOUT JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT AND STARTED SCREAMING WHEN RAIDEN CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND OWNED THOSE MOOING GEARS!!! *squeals* This is a really cool Lea-Shinkawa style :9. I mean I think you did a great job while still retaining the definite Lea feel :9! YAYYYY. Yay MGS4!

Awesome pic, i'm one of the small minority that like you, actually liked raiden. And love how he's been included in mgs4 as a badass (lets hope he dosnt get squished under any metal gears hehe)

yeah he wasnt snake but if he wasnt suppose to be in the game/story he wouldnt havnt been included.

anyway exellent pic of one of my fav chars and props for not hating him +fav

yes...he might be a badass in MGS4, but his upgraded ninja suite has built in high heels too.

explain that?!

though serious, nice art design. it would be cool to see some more Shinkawa inspired pieces

....He's not holding it by the blade. There's a hilt drawn in there, it's just hard to see the tsuba/quillion. That's my fault for overdoing the linework.

Thanks, though!
