Lo scorso luglio la serie Metal Gear ha celebrato il suo trentunesimo compleanno e sono molti i fan in giro per il mondo che hanno deciso di fare i loro auguri con omaggi particolari. Tra loro c’è anche l’ex DICE Erasmus Brosdau, di cui vi avevamo già parlato per il remake dell’introduzione di Metal Gear Solid, che ha realizzato tutta una serie di disegni per celebrare la saga di Hideo Kojima.
Approfittiamo di questa giornata festiva per proporvene alcuni che vale la pena vedere, da quello dedicato alla celebre scena con Solid Snake e Meryl Silverburgh in bagno a Shadow Moses, passando per l’amore tra Otacon e Sniper Wolf, fino ad alcune altre sequenze immaginate proprio dall’artista.
No. 23 of 31 – "Quiet" Shooting out of a helicopter seems to be a pretty tough job, so it's definetely perfect for a cinematic keyframe – especially when there's a giant mech in it :) #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #metalgearsolid5 @stefanieGMJ pic.twitter.com/M47Ja9Ky7T

People asked for a video of how I do my paintings – here it is :) "Quiet" was painted in around 3 hours in total. #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @stefanieGMJ #conceptart pic.twitter.com/G4NRZdsgGJ

No. 29 of 31 – "Metal Gear 1944" A bit of time experiment. Solid Snake, equipped with a Luger, observes Nazis on bicycles riding next to a Metal Gear equipped with a FLAK cannon. Now we've seen everything :) @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @VogtRoberts #MetalGearSolid #Metalgear31st pic.twitter.com/w50QcITxEo

No. 28 of 31 – "Crying Wolf". Still wanted to make a realistic image of MGS4. Due to lack of time I used photo bashing on this one. @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @VogtRoberts #metalgear31st #MetalGearSolid @metalgear_en pic.twitter.com/CC40dvxuna

No.27 of 31 "How do I stop it??" We're almost at the end and I thought I still need a classic REX scene. Mostly done in 3D with some overpaint. @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @VogtRoberts #MetalGearSolid #Metalgear31st @metalgear_en @MgsOuterHaven @DavidBHayter pic.twitter.com/Jpt0HgnBm5

Timelapse of the latest artwork, this time I used a lot of 3D elements which I then painted over. @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN @VogtRoberts #MetalGearSolid #conceptart #Metalgear31st #MetalGearRex @metalgear_en @DavidBHayter @4pauleiding pic.twitter.com/k002Mu7gnb

No.26 of 31 "Can love bloom on a battlefield?" A scene I had in mind for showing Meryl and Snake in the bathroom scene just before Psycho Mantis. This is all photobashed with a ton of paintover, timelapse tomorrow. @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #metalgear31st #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/rUIk4mc814

Timelapse of latest artwork. This time you can see how I use existing photo sources and assemble it into something new by painting over all elements. That's called Photo bashing and is frequently being used in the concept art industry. #metalgear31st @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN pic.twitter.com/OrpJujK5uW

No. 25 of 31 – "Peace Walker" You know I like robots, so after Zeke I thought it would be cool to portray the boss fight in a more cinematic way. Timelapse will follow soon. #metalgear31st @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/sQMMtsZpYv

No. 24 of 31 – "Zeke hangar". No excuses, let's move on with finishing the last keyframes for #METALGEAR31st by @VogtRoberts and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN . I feel peace walker is almost never talked about, but probably also not that many people played it ? pic.twitter.com/3V3Kwjsmyq

No. 22 of 31 – "Burning Rays" Mechs in the distance ? Yeah, but this time MGS2 :) #METALGEAR31st @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN and @VogtRoberts pic.twitter.com/VVmvefrv1y
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 27, 2018
No. 21 of 31 – "Snake on the run" Had this idea in mind of a cool chase scene with the Geckos through market places and water melons :) All painted. #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/vxNUKzSpyP
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 22, 2018
No. 20 of 31 – "Rain". I thought the MGS2 opening was pretty awesome, but the lighting always felt really dull, so I spiced it up for a cinematic keyframe :) #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN pic.twitter.com/QVR2cPeRZv
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 21, 2018
No.18 of 31 – "The End". Couldn't think of a more fitting way for this character to paint. Have fun looking for him :) #METALGEAR31st by @VogtRoberts and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/qYu9l5qkxc
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 16, 2018
No.17 of 31 – "Mega Rex Construction". A bit in the comfort zone as it just looks cool :) #METALGEAR31st by @VogtRoberts and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN pic.twitter.com/MogHGfweWS
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 15, 2018
No.16 of 31 – "Parasite Unit". Always love mechs in the background and went for some sinister lighting to make it a cool cinematic shot. All painted. #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/7N6cJD8dBO
— Erasmus Brosdau (@EBrosdau) August 14, 2018
No.14 of 31 – "Volgin". Just some cool shot of him against a sunset. Wanted him to feel a bit more like a big space marine than human. #METALGEAR31st @VogtRoberts and @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN #MetalGearSolid pic.twitter.com/WyMh7YxBs4
