Venom Snake ( Big Boss )

I finally got a new lense that can go all the way down to 2.8 aperture, and for some reason, this picture lookksss way better on Flickr than on Flickr Mobile.

 

The whole thing is sculpted, including my first attempt at a sculpted hair and the harness and the pouches were sculpted on too. The robot arms were made out of random scraps I had laying around. Smaller details include the "Diamond Dogs" patch painted on the sides.

 

The camo is supposed to be tiger stripes, but... welp, did'nt turn out too well, and it was too late to repaint as I had added the other details and did'nt wanna re-do the whole figure.

 

The figure is inspired from Richard's superb version of Big Boss form MGS:3, and draws inspiration and techniques from people such as MikMik and Flamingbricks.

 

Also dat mosin shldnt be there but whtever.

 

The scene is probably the key attraction of this pic,so more on that, the sand is REAL sand which I took from outside and the foliage is something I brought from the modelling shop a couple of weeks ago.

 

I'm pumped for MGS:5! Who else is?
