Need Help Finding Art. (Kinda Spoilers)

Post by seraphssavior »

There's some really nice art that you can see in MGS4, from previous games, and I can't find the one from 2. I've got these ones, though, but I have no idea what search terms to use when looking for the one from MGS2. Any help? Also, what are they originally from? Thanks, guys.

sorry about the quality, i'll keep looking for some better quality, these pictures are from some MGS3 artbook. I can't remember the artists name, but he's well known for his star wars art.

Since the art books are folded, they have crevices. Those you posted are from somewhere else of course:

Thanks, guys. Anyone know the name of the artist? It would probably help a lot in searches for high-quality ones. Thanks again.

All right, thanks. And I still can't find a high quality version of MGS2. Thanks, though.

gixo delivers. I would be more than happy is anyone could find these in even higher res. They would look awesome as posters. And yeah, i'm also in the look for the MGS2-art. thanks for posting those low-res pictures anyway.

i also saw this in the look for pictures. It seems that the art came with a PSP x Portable Ops bundle. Am i right?

Sort of on topic but not...does anyone know the artists name who designed this poster?

Image

It's the artwork for the PAL game too. I don't think it's Ashley Wood cos it's just not his style, and I don't think it's a vector either, it looks hand drawn/painted to me.

I'm also interested in finding out who designed this artwork too:

Image

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

probably a design agancy. or konamis own marketing crew. I don't think it's a specific artist. the PO indeed looks awesome.
The MGS3 uses the 3dmodels right? plus some layers. Not a big of a fuss there ;P

Yeah but that was answered a long time ago, earlier in the thread. It's a little odd, plus it's all quotes which is confusing matters.

Yeah I'd love to find out who did the PO one, but yeah, you're right, the models in the background of the MGS3 one look like 3d models but I'm pretty sure Snake himself is painted but can't be sure, but he doesn't look computer generated to me.

No worries mate! :)

I do love those Ohrai images though. I wish I could get them in poster form from somewhere, any ideas?

if you can find a high enough quality picture you could cafe press (or a similar website) it.

I'm almost positive that Big Boss on the Snake East poster started as a computer render/model, then someone went in and added stylizes touch ups.

I just found this nice piece of artwork from Z.O.E 2 that looks like it was made by Ohrai.
