Parasite / Scout / Character Art

[bonesmcgaw2004]

Hello Zbrush community,

I was fortunate enough to create art for the Metal Gear Online portion of Metal Gear Solid V. I created this character almost 3 years ago as a part of my training at Kojima Production LA.
I had the pleasure to make my own in-game character based on the amazing Yoji Shinkawa’s Concept art while I was trying to learn as much as possible about Fox Engine, Shaders, XSI Rig.

This character was never officially a part of MGSV, The talented Mike Fudge who was part of the Kojima Tokyo character team worked on the in game Parasite soldier.
The concept art for the Female scout character was created by A.J. Trahan and Jordan Lamarre. It was a pleasure working with the other really talented artist at the L.A. kojima studios.

Thank you for viewing my artwork,
~Abraham Valdez

Amazing job, I guess people don’t comment so much on these topics because they’re obviously great and there is little to critique or comment on. But yeah it looks incredible, well done.

I am playing MGS: PP for last month, and I love this game. And it is so great to see your work. It is absolutely astonishing piece of art. Thank you for your work.

Thank you very much, and have fun playing the game GhostB. The Metal Gear Universe is an awesome franchise and i was privileged to have worked on it.

Hello,

I’m adding some model renders to this post, as you can see the head is primarily the same for both characters. I needed a pretty face for a gruesome character and used Eva Mendes as reference for modeling.
Eventually i created a second texture map to compliment the sculpt and now have two heads.

Thanks for viewing,
