Solid Snake (MGS1)

Aublak

An early look at my Solid Snake sculpt. I want to make a game model that matches the quality of MGSV. I am obviously not there yet, but with a little bit of spit and polish I feel like I'll get there. I updated his design a bit while trying to keep true to the original. I want to be additive rather than subtractive for the most part.

Kojima artists used Marvelous Designer to create the clothing in MGSV. I tried the same thing, but I didn't get the results that I wanted. I ended up just sculpting his clothing out in ZBrush instead. It looks pretty good to me me. What do you think?

I feel I did a pretty good job replicating his face.

I am reaching the limits of my memory, so I'll have to start sculpting isolated parts now.

oh man that is a sexy snake. I was going to say that maybe his shoulders arent wide enough, but that might be because he's not posed yet.



also if you could make it so he's not smiling that'd be cool Lol

I think you should try to push the silhouette a bit more, the legs are arms are pretty close to equally thick the whole length, and kinda look like sausage tubes. Wider shoulders and hips, too.

I was actually sculpting him with his arms down until I decided it was easier to model him with his arms up. Maybe the shoulders changed when I moved them.

This is looking great! I really like all the gear except the boots, which seem pretty clunky and don't really fit with the sleek form-fitting design of his other gear.

The face is also a pretty good start, the biggest thing jumping out at me is the odd shape of the furrow under his eyes.

I agree, making the boots slimmer would be an improvement.


I could probably elaborate further on the pockets under his eyes.
