Started adding more, the sticking out pipe thingies to the left and the big tube thingy in the back will insert into the nuclear module. Now to get to the legs, if I'm satisfied with how he's looki...

Started drawing up TX55, yes that is an MSX monitor, much like the ones in Big Boss' lair. That actual component from the original design I could never figure out what it was, even looking at other...

Now that I've finished Boss and Madnar and I can finally get to work on the background, not just drawing it up but animating the workers and engineers, too. All 95 frames worth. Better get to work....

Had a few of you asking about a print for the Metal Gear schematics sheet so I've put it up on Society6. I wanted to edit the pricing so it's a little cheaper but obviously that isn't up to me, alt...

Managed to get Big Boss walking and Madnar reaching for his glasses, was hoping to at least get this part finished this weekend but unsure that will happen. Oh well, better keep moving.

Just something small, while Big Boss walks off to the right Madnar will look up, adjust his glasses, then look down at the clipboard. Alright, back to animatin'.

Here's a draft where I've blocked everything out with sketches, the border around Big Boss and Dr. Madnar is the main framing of the shot so you can see how large the background will be. I'm going ...

That's right, all that work put into the schematics and they go by in a second. As you can see it cuts off right at the end as Big Boss grabs the clipboard, this is because he's going to hand it ov...

Still need to draw the front and side view at the bottom, with certain modifications to the legs as well and just notes and project codename at the top. The blueprint template is a bit haphazard an...

There will be a zoom in on his eyes in post when I edit it in After effects. Finally the prison stuff is over, and we can go into Metal Gear itself. The next shot we'll see Big Boss' hand holding o...

Yet another small shot, next up will be Snake's reaction to Fox's words then we'll get into the TX55 stuff. Finally I'm done with this prison scene and we can move on!

Another small shot. The background will eventually turn to black in these next two shots (attachments) to symbolize the transition into Fox's briefing to Snake about Metal Gear. Enough jibba-jabba,...

Been doing some more brainstorming at work, decided the angle should be from the same point of view as Big Boss, with the camera panning upward to show its scale. But I may have made TX55 too big h...

I'm bored at work and have been planning the upcoming TX55 sequence Fox describes to Snake. Big Boss and scientist Dr Pettrovich Madnar will be in the foreground, but I have to figure out their pla...

Another short shot, the next will be a little longer with Fox looking down knowing what he knows of Metal Gear and how he's going to explain it to Snake. I've added a little thumbnail sketch to the...

Quick little shot to end the sequence, now for the end of Snake and Fox's meeting, where Gray Fox visually describes the nuclear menace Metal Gear and what it is capable of Let's get to it. 2019-05-15 06:43:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Now to move onto the final shot of this handshake, a closeup of the hands clamped together at last. Let's get a move on!

Yet another quick shot, now to get to the last two shots of this damn handshake. Fox will turn his body for the final swing and we'll be closer to animating the part I always wanted to get to.

Sorry, yet again, for such a delay on this. Seems there's only so many hours in a day lately. Back in March there was a mass shooting in our country and turns out the youngest victim, a 3 year old,...

I originally drew Fox they way he is in the previous post's thumbnail but decided to just animate him in chronological order like a normal person. I'll need to animate the rope dropping a bit more ...

Thought I'd post the thumbnail and notes for the next shot, should do this more often. Sorry for the messy handwriting.

I realized that the knot I drew on Fox in a previous shot didn't really make sense, so I... tried to make it sort of make sense here. Either way, the rope will actually drop in the next shot where ...
