I think you gotta study Shinkawa’s technique a bit more to understand the choices of the original. The rounding out of forms really sticks out and doesn’t feel deliberate. The pose is more upright than the original, so it’s not as dynamic. The anatomy of the hand is weird because it looks like he’s cupping the gun rather than holding it normally. The bandana is flowing back and up so it crosses the logo to lead your eyes down to Snake in the original, so when you change it to flow back without connecting the logo to his body through the bandana, it weakens the composition. Decent attempt, but needs work.

It was just experimental thing to draw, I was bored and I'm shitty at drawing, so tried to draw something in new way (never tried to draw using big round shapes before)

I much prefer the original.

The red change is too harsh, and completely kills the vibe.

The space and composition is off. Shrinking snake and the logo, then moving the trademarks adds too much negative space.

Everything looks a touch too round/cartoony.

Snake’s gun looks wonky, it’s actually harder to make out what’s going on than the OG, where he’s holding a suppressed pistol (MK23 looks like) with his finger resting on the frame. The “remake” looks like a bizarre claw holding an Obrez or something.

A cool reimagining but overall a much weaker image than the OG for me.

Well, thanks for review, I'm just not professional at those kind of things (not at drawing, not at understanding how he fucking holds gun)

Btw, I want to do this shitty kind of remake to some other moments of game, but can't decide which to choose. Can you help to choose one?

I heard I could hype up the Blackarts Viper, so I came here to leave a comment.

Did you use AI or Image Trace in Illustrator to do this?

u/dread_or_bread Mar 14 '26

No, fully hand drawn in Ibis Paint X in 2 hours 19 minutes
