Snake Sees Fox Complete

Another small shot that's needlessly taken me about 100 years to finish. First I wasn't satisfied with the cloud break up, then it was Snake's reaction which was originally a bit too expressive. Bu...

WallCollapsing Complete

I'm going to be a broken record, but sorry this one took so long. I fear I'm suffering from burn out, but I'm going to keep fighting through it due to the support from all of you.

A previous shot, t...

Wall Collapse WIP 3

Finally animated Snake busting the wall down... now to finish it off with Fox's reaction. Hopefully I can get that done this week.

Edit: Added three more frames at the end.

Wall Collapse WIP 2

So as usual, apologies for nothing complete this past month. Same excuses; life. I was having trouble with this shot, not just the actual wall collapsing, but Snake himself. I've uploaded two attachme...

Wall Collapse WIP

I've been having trouble with exactly how this wall will collapse as the previous shot ends with Snake's fist lodged in the wall and nothing else. I may cut halfway through his fist smashing through t...

Wall Fist complete

This took a little longer to finish without that much added from the last post because I wanted Snake's hand to go back through like I said, but it ended up not looking right so I left it out. In...

Wall Fist WIP

Apologies for the lack in updates, I'm slowly getting back on the ball these past couple of days but we're not out of the woods yet with this shot. After the debris has fallen Snake will pull his fist...

Fox Closeup Complete

Finally got this tiny shot finished. I won't lie, I've been barely working on the project as of late. A co-worker left my job and now I've had to take on their work which means more hours and less tim...

Fox Closeup

Now to animate him in reverse turning his head away from camera, then to draw the background in. Let's go.

Fox Reaction Complete

Just a short shot for this one. Now for Fox's close up as he stares at the wall in anticipation as to what's behind it...

Fox Reaction 2

This one has taken a bit longer because the original version of the shot (attached) didn't really convey what I wanted so I went back to make Fox a little clearer from this angle. Still need to draw t...

Fox Sit Up Complete

So... contrary to my previous post I got this finished two days later. I have to step up my game. Anywho, next shot will be from over Fox's right shoulder as he reacts to the sound of Snake beating on...

Fox Cell

First off, want to say thanks for the positive feedback in the previous post, I'm slowly pulling myself back from the dead, it's all part of the creative process I suppose. So with this shot I started...

Project Update

Just want to yet again apologize for the lack of updates with the latest shot. Yet again work has given myself little time for the project, plus I've been at a loss with the current shot and have deci...

Wall Inspection Background

Now to animate Snake into the shot tapping on the wall and listening for any hollow points, then throwing his arm back to take it down.

Prison Wall Crack

Another insert static shot close up on the wall before we move onto the longer shot of Snake inspecting then taking out the wall itself.

Snake Looking At Wall Complete

Sorry for taking so long with this one, my day job has put extra pressure on me lately with work so unfortunately this hasn't been top priority meaning my time's been restricted. 

Just had a pa...

Snake Looking at Wall

Wasn't sure what to call this. Still need to have him moving his eyes up and turning his head and little more toward the camera, as well as draw in the background. Another small shot.

Snake Sit Up Complete

Sorry for taking so long with an update. As mentioned in the previous post I was having some artists block and unfortunately it began to ramp up making it difficult to continue. Which is funny when yo...

Snake Sit Up Continued

Apologies for the lack of updates, work has had me busy and I've also suffered a bit of art block but I've gotten through it. Had trouble trying to get this to look decent, I may have mentioned it in ...

Snake Sit Up

Now to animate him in reverse lying back down therefore having him sit up when played forward. Afterward I need him to look around the room until he notices the crack in the wall to his right. Well, e...

Snake Eyes Closeup Complete

Now to a longer shot, where Snake will sit up and after looking around not knowing what to do, a little surprise will occur.

Snake Eyes Closeup

Now to animate them slowly opening.

Prison Cell Complete

Still image for this shot. When it comes to sound design I want the sound of a prison door slowly slamming to transition from the previous shot and crescendoing into this one. Next shot will be a clos...

Prison Cell WIP

Actually struggled with how to introduce this scene as I couldn't figure out  what angle to go with, the size of the cell (because it's pretty big in the original game), the colours and what deta...

Broken Nose Soldier

Just a still without animation for this shot. Was contemplating on an eyebrow raise but I think the stark image of his face will suffice. Now to Snake dropping into his prison cell.

Gun to Snake Complete

Now for the close up on the soldiers bloody face to finish off this whole damn scene. Hopefully back in a bit.

Gun to Snake

Originally I was going to have the shot from the point of view of the soldier pointing the barrel at Snake but I just couldn't get the angle right so I opted for something a little more straight forwa...

Snake Captured Complete

Nearly finished with this capture sequence, the next two shots will be a close up first on Snake as the left Soldier points his barrell at him and then a close up of said Soldier, showcasing his blood...

Snake Captured Continued 3

Added background, now to animate Penguin.
