READ FIRST, then comment:

Alright, finally I'm done with my MGS3: Snake Eater box. This took so long mainly because I spend a lot of time just trying to come up with an original concept for this. After the super reception of MGS2 I had to come up with a worthy successor to that box in terms of concept.

Well, your first thought would be - why redish orange? I was tired of using green in the series so far. MGS1 was greenish-blue. MGS2 was green and so I thought of going with a totally different color but still fusing green lightly as afterall, MGS3 is a game with jungles and greenary. This was a challenge for me.

Eventually I came up with this theme, which is more of a homage to "From Russia with love". MGS3 was a lot like a 60's 007 movie, for those who have no clue of what I'm talking about here have a look at this intro: link

I purposely chose a pose for snake that reminds me of sean connery in the poster. The vector on the back cover of the bikini babe is supposedly of Eva when she gets intimate with snake (another homage to classic bond intros) and the white smokey-skeletal snake was inspired by the snake eater intro (was tricky to make!)...and yes that image has a double meaning for those who get it.

All in all, I wanted to give it a "bond" movie like feel, just what Kojima-san originally intended.

So I spent A LOT of time on this, concept-wise and execution. I hope its worth the effort. Comments and +favs are appeciated.

P.S - The Boss is the best video game character ever.

The back feels empty tho. Fix it and it would go right into the hall of fame.

Awesome work dmshaposv, but the only thing I don't like is that theres too much red and the back feels a bit empty. Maybe you could move the summary to where all the empty space is? Or at least add some more detail. It's still excellent though. Keep it up! 4.5/5

well, for one thing, i wish you made it bigger so i could get a good look at it. i think the front's fine, but the back just doesn't work for me. the woman's silhouettes fades and gets lots into the background, its all the same color so it makes it feel empty. also, i don't like how the screens cover eachother up so much, you should spread them out, i thin you put to much focus on the bikini-lady.

The girl on the back looks like from iPod advertisments :) Snake is like an iPod wire :D I like this box, but I don't like the snake on the back and I hate Sean Connery :D LOL
+ Fav... Looks like this box will push over my MGS2 in HoF now :)
P.S. MGS4, MGS4, MGS4 :D :D :D :D

An nice idea well executed. I don't usually like it when both artwork and renders are on the front, but I understand why you did it.

YES!!! It's here! I'm lovin' the 007 style and feel to it. I initially had the same bond impression of the game when I first saw the snake eater music video. Well executed design and style and the back is sexy, quite literally. love how you incorporated your own style to this game, 5/5 +fav

Awesome box! I love the feel and color scheme to it. I'd say this has a great chance to get in the HoF so I'll help too. +fav.

the front is so tight but I'm not sure about the back i think what has me not liking the back is the woman. she isn't very metal gear tuff looking. idk sorry but it does looks cool though.
