Artist's Comments

Behold, the very first endpage piece I wrote and drew for the videogame magazine PSM... The red lettering was done in-house at PSM, hence the repro from an actual magazine page.

This would be the first of many Metal-Gear-Solid-related jokes, and the first of many, many jokes at Raiden's expense... The poor guy.

Anyhoo, as the caption in the corner makes clear, this is a riff on one of the weirder items from METAL GEAR SOLID 3... The so-called "croc hat*", which I presume Solid Snake could use to sneak on people...? Dunno, never played the game. Wait a second... Would enemies blithely ignore the presence of a very large, very predatory reptile nearby?

*I think that's actually a gharial on his head, not a crocodile per se, but I might be wrong.

Is it sad to say that the only reason i read PSM was for your art? I really didn't like the magazine all that much but I thought the work you did was hilarious. So I bought it.

the second row probably would've distracted a shooter to look up than at Snake :P

Poor Snake... always being picked on.

I love Flamingo Hat, though.

Well the thing is, MGS3 featured a lot of jungle areas that did have quite the number of crocs in it. I know, I got the deathroll from one of them myself after getting a tad too close. It wasn't just a ridiculous prop for laughter's sake. I used it a couple of times in some areas, it's just one of those items that makes it easier, but isn't a must-have.

Like usual, Mr. W., this is hilarious.

really nice, i loved your psm work...
I think that once maybe you did some work that was like... some kind of square RPG that should be made... and you did the art?
There was like a black mage girl and stuff....

I hope you know what i'm taking about.
That was my fave....
If you still have it, i'd love you forever if you posted....

Yep, I remember the piece well... I'll prolly post it on a FAILED-PROJECT FRIDAY at some point (along with some character designs associated with it), as two of the characters from that illo were to have been part of a Wildstorm/ Cliffhanger project that went belly-up.
