There are times when an expressive character design works the best. That's how I've always felt about the art of the Metal Gear series — it's emotional, dramatic and implies so much about its characters simply by how it's drawn.
Of course, you might disagree with me. Using our image annotation system, show us what you love or hate about Yoji Shinkawa's iconic design of Solid Snake. It can be praise ('Dat headband') or scorn ('I preferred him in the NES era'), but tell us what you think either way. Just click on any part of the two iterations of Solid Snake above and riff to your heart's content.
