Thread: Ashley Wood's Art Of Metal Gear Solid HC

  1. Ashley Wood's Art Of Metal Gear Solid HC

    Anyone get this?

    This particular art book isn't new by any means but I just got it this week since I was looking for some more cool Metal Gear merchandise. For those who don't know, Ashley Wood drew the adaptations of Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for IDW in 2004 which are available again in Omnibus form (although some places are out of stock). Konami liked his stuff so much that he was commissioned to do the artwork for MGS: Portable Ops, some of Peace Walker, and artwork/concepts for Konami's other property Contra: Shattered Soldier.

    His art may be an acquired taste but I absolutely love it, lots of exaggerated angles and legs but I also feel like it captures the style of the games and Shinkawa's designs really well. Here's the cover:

  2. Man, for whatever reason I ended up owning about 20 illustration books by Wood over the years.

    I looked them up when we were moving to see if there was any reason to keep carting this shit around and... uh, yeah. There is.
    Boo, Hiss.

  3. I got it from my TNL wish list. I forgot who gave it to me though

    It would make sense if it was me, but I don't remember either.
