What MGS Pictures would you like to see made into posters?
Also, Metal Gear Ray in the MGS2 Promo Pamphlet that folds out.

I like to see a 7 poster set of MGS4. Take the current theater style poster and take each character out and give them their own unobstructed poster.

I want these as posters!

- Would love a big poster of this! I'm really surprised one hasn't been made already. What were the U.S. Promo posters like for MGS:PO? If anyone can let me know or post pics I'd appreciate it.

- This is just awesome and would make an incredible poster! Apologies, I would have posted a bigger pic but the proxy in work limits mostly everything but attachments so this pic is the only one I can access from the work server sorry!
Noriyoshi Ohrai MGS artwork, some people don't like this stuff, I don't know what I think of the MGS2 artwork (I'll update this post with a pic once I get home), but the rest of his stuff just fascinates me, I'd really love to have big posters of these pictures...

- MGS2 Ohrai artwork as promised! Not sure about this cos Snake looks like a Zombie and Raiden looks like Fortune! lol. Not to mention Fortune's chest! lol.
As I said, I'll post the MGS2 Ohrai pic when I get home, but I would be a very happy guy if I ever aqcuired poster versions of any of these pictures.
Does anyone know if any exist?

I love them. Second Noriyoshi Ohrai MGS artwork is my current wallpaper at home and third one is my wallpaper at work

Yeah tell me about it, they're awesome. I work on 1280 x 1024 res screens so I can't find the correct res pics for my home or work monitors. Damn I wish there were better/higher res images than these.
P.S. I've added the MGS2 image artwork to the original post now too.
P.P.S. Bay, do you know if anything like this exists? Cheers
And does anyone know what the U.S. Promo posters for MGS:PO looked like?

+1 to Noriyoshi Ohrai's MGS Twin Snakes artwork, i've always thought that is a brilliant movie style poster
The MGS2 artwork totatly freaks me out!! Snakes eyes are far too big & Raiden scares the s**t out of me!!
is that one realy by the same guy? it looks completly out of place with the others

Yeah they're all great movie style posters except maybe the MGS2 one! That freaks me out too! It's definitely the same guy though, you can tell by the eyes.
The MGS2 posters are in my making of MGS2 book but they are folded so it's not so great, but it's my least favourite of the four. My favourite is the MGS:PO one I think, I love the middle section with Big Boss and Elisa! That is quality! I'd love to get them all.

I bet if I got a bunch of those made I could sell em easily on ebay. Anyone have a really good scan/pic I can use?

Yeah I tell you what, let's all gather around and help make Violent Snake some money! It's always about you isn't it!

LOL I'm so fricken lazy I wouldn't even download the picture heh.
I would love to have that on my wall though.
EDIT: I should send it to the guy that did the Old Snake custom poster I have, I bet he'd do it for like $12 each.

Lol, I'm only joking mate, you know that
Yeah, I'd love to get prints of most of the pictures we've posted, official or not. What do you recon the chances of getting some of these printed are? I guess the only thing that limits us is the quality of the pictures we can find really isn't it.
It'd be so sweet to have MG and MG2 next to eachother though!

Heh, well, I'm NOT joking about the lazy part
Yeah the guy that did that one for me was a guy I found on ebay. He said he could take any picture and make whatever size I wanted. It was on Kodak photo paper and it was like $12 + $15 shipping from Hong Kong. I think he needs high res pictures though because he said small ones would look bad blown up to say 24"x36".

Good price but that's what I was worried about, there's not many high res pics out there that I know of anyway. Take the Ohrai pictures for example, if you google his name and metal gear, you get a maximum of two or three pages worth and most of it is Star Wars! lol.
The hunt is on guys! I'll give you a pound if you find me good pics! (haha like the incentive there!, Paypal would probably leave you with 60p! lol)

as far as i know the Noriyoshi Ohrai artwork never graced a promo poster for metal gear, however they are in several art books. i've debated making some high dpi scans of the copies i have.
they are pretty damn cool, i was pleased to see them in mgs4 at the church.

What artbooks do they appear in mate? I know that the MGS2 Art appears in "The Making of" Book, and the MGS:PO art appears inside the MGS:PO KonamiStyle Ltd. Ed package. But what about the others?
If you could make some high dpi scans and you'd be willing to share them with us, I'd be very grateful mate.
Also, do you know what the U.S. promo poster for MGS:PO looked like?
Cheers for your help

there is a mini fold out poster in the "naked" book, which i have. it would be a good scan source.
it contains the mgs1 poster on one side and the 2 small mgs2 ones on the other.
i don't believe mgs3 was out when "naked" was released.
i'll take some pics/scans of the inside to show you guys some other posters i'm looking for, as well as the 3 posters (out of the set of 4) that went for 760$ on YAJ which i'm still kicking myself over. they were pristine.. sigh.

Ugh...I really wanted the signed MGS3 poster...had I not already bought the signed mgs4 one I would've bid more. I think I ended up bidder #3.

ah, you must be talking about something recent, these are the MGS original japanese promo posters that i was talking about and how this was before MGS4 was released. the art direction on the posters is great, you'll see how simple yet effective they are.
