Description I'm on a family trip right now and I only just got some alone time this evening to draw. I was listening to the Metal Gear Rising soundtrack, and I ended up drawing Raiden.

I think the pose could be better in this, but otherwise I think it turned out okay. I ended up taking liberties with Raiden's suit because it's stupidly detailed in the game and there's no way I'd be able to manage getting it perfect.

Being tracked by a starving beast,
Looking for its daily feast,
A predator on the verge of death,
Close to its last breath!
Getting close to its last breath!

RULES OF NATURE!!!

Ahh, so cool! Raiden is awesome and I love how you drew him here. It's so dynamic and everything. 8D

How is Metal Gear Rising? I feel like I should play it. And I get mixed up, does it take place before or after MGS4?

Ahh, thank you!

Metal Gear Rising is very fun (and very different from MGS games in general). It's my favorite game this year so far. And it takes place something like three years after MGS4.

I haven't played MG yet, but I must say I liked the effect, looks like the cover to a comic book, good work!

Nice! You've captured the speed and heat of battle very well! ^_^

This makes me wanna draw some Rising fan art now... Maybe something with Sundowner, I love his theme Red Sun so freaking much... XD

(Sorry for the late reply! My inbox has gotten kind of swollen lately)

Woah, thanks man! Glad I captured the spirit of the game well. I love MG: Rising (and Metal Gear in general), so it's kind of really cool to hear that.

Do it, man! :> Sundowner was pretty cool, and I like Red Sun too. My favorite boss/theme pair in the game though has to be Jetstream Sam and The Only Thing I Know For Real. I got super hyped when they announced Sam and Bladewolf were getting DLC chapters.

Thanks again, dude!

(Hey, no worries, I know the feeling! ^_^)Β 


Aye, Rising is a Brave New World for the Metal Gear franchise, a great new direction that redefines ultra-violent sci-fi, this is a great tribute!!


I believe I shall! I loved his voice, when I found out it was Crispin Freeman I almost died with joy because his voice is liquid gold! I love Sundowner the most because he's so wild and aggressive, like a warrior born in the wrong era, he'd have been right at home on ancient battlefields like Thermopylae!Β 

Jetstream Sam... Undoubtedly the epitome of coolness, I love the play on his and Raiden's names, very clever, he is definitely the rival Raiden needed to define himself as a true cyber-ninja. Playing as those two was really cool!


You're very welcome! ^_^Β

I'm an insanely big fan of MGS. Rising is one of my favorite games of the year thus far if not my absolute favorite. I loved it so much that this guy is sitting on my desk as I type this th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f…

I thought all the bosses were pretty rad, including Sundowner (even if he was a bit easy and his subweapon was junk). But yeah, Sam was my favorite because he's just too badass. He has virtually no cyborg parts to speak of, and yet he wrecks Raiden in the opening (whom I might add, just destroyed a metal gear RAY with minimal effort), and Raiden has to get an entirely new body just to get on his level. Plus he's just so smug about his skill. Also a bit of lore the game doesn't really tell you is how his sheath works. It's essentially a big gun that shoots out his sword so he can do insanely quick draws, which is awesome.

It is an astounding series, with an incredible level of political, historic, and contemporary relevance, the story is a fiction right at home among fact, which is testament to Kojima's storytelling. Ohoho! Nice, he is a beauty!!! I actually ordered this earlier today! Β www.amazon.com/Metal-Gear-Soli… I just today assembled my first ever Model Kit, (It was a Master Grade Gundam kit, MSN-04 Sazabi) I had so much fun, I decided to go for my next favourite Mech, Good ol' Metal Gear Rex! XD


Indeed, and I loved how all their theme's were relevant to them, from Red Sun as a hymn to battle, to It Has To Be This Way as an acknowledgement that neither side is right or wrong, I prefer Rising's soundtrack even more than the Devil May Cry soundtracks, and I LOVE their soundtracks... XD

Aye, Sam is such a boss, I love his fight against World Marshall too, the DLC really added to his coolness... Indeed his sheath is just as epic as his blade, his adapted draw-slash technique is epic because it is truly unique! Alas, I wish the side-weapon you got from Sundowner was better... It would've been great it you could wield it in it's twin machete form, perhaps finishing a combo with it'sΒ scissor form...Β Β

Arrrghhh, I'm jealous, dude! I'd love to have a Metal Gear on my shelf. I only have an Eva Unit 01, which sits next to my Old Snake and Vamp figs from MGS4. 1.bp.blogspot.com/-cvoUiUr3JDA… As for model kits, my friend told me he got me a Nirvash model for my upcoming birthday, so I guess I'll be assembling my first one soon. gwing-online.com/images/catego…

Part of why I love MGR's music was because it was dynamic in game. Hearing the vocals to Rules Of Nature kick in right as you catch the massive RAY blade and toss the whole thing into the air is my favorite moment of the whole game.

Yeah, the only side weapon I used frequently was Mistral's polearm because they made it super useful for crowd control.

I've been looking at it for ages, but I was always nervous about it because I've never put together a model kit before today, putting together the Sazabi really gave me confidence, I also ordered Char's Zaku II and Ramba Ral's Gouf! Don't worry, as long as ya' follow the diagrams it's actually pretty easy, seeing labels like Master Grade can be intimidating, but as long as you do it one step at a time it's really simple and great fun! Ah Nirvash, whoever thought to combine mecha and surfing is a total genius! XDΒ 


Aye, or when in the final fight with Armstrong the lyrics would fade out when the Murasama is knocked out of your hand! Ahhhh, the moment you send that Ray flying through the air, it's just so unbelievably satisfying... UwUΒ 


I was pretty satisfied just using the main weapons, I'll be honest, I hardly use the side-weapons at all! XD Β
