i hate the cover. GZ snake on venoms shoulder and that piss poor blood on snake & quiet… *sigh* that’s not art; that’s a clusterfuck.
We’re on the same page.I’m sure there are better pictures for the cover in the book.I mean,what is this?Why Quiet is on every single item related to MGSV (considering her role in V wasn’t that big and special)? Is that a tactic for selling more books or soundtracks?…
Sina,boobs boobs boobs and boobs
Man,I gotta tell you,I laughed a lot when I saw your comment,lol.That was a nice one.
You know,I don’t have problem with boobs,even completely naked ones(lol),but only if there’s a valid reason for it.Quiet’s outfit doesn’t have that valid reason imo.Also (like I said above) I’m sure there are way better Shinkawa artwoks than this.So why not that artwork and why this?
Not sure if the reason of the presence of those boobs was valid, although they are nice big ones.
I may need some more time to deeply analyze / validate the question in the ACC. Will keep you posted on this. xD
Yeah Shinkawa’s art
They could have used it as a selling point
You don’t have to be a real fan to see that Shinkawa’s art is awesome
Should’ve gone with Shinkawa artwork.
Yeah, would’ve made sense. But at least the book will be filled with it.
Eh, it’s a high res render (prob at like 8-16k), and the blood is likely a physics simulation, then a bit of an overpaint.
/it’s not some photoshop hack job like you think
it looks cheap as fuck.
Off-Topic:BigBoss is going to release a country album.Here’s the debut song:

The departure of Quiet really hit Venom Snake hard.
Yeah,there’s not enough whiskey for him,lol.
Did you read the comments below the video?Some of them are really funny,lol.
“That was some fancy singing. Pretty good.”
😛
Also the video uses “Single Shot” technique.The only part that we see a cut is the end of the video.A HIDEO KOJIMA MUSIC VIDEO,lol.Also we can see some nice facial expressions 😛

Yeah.In that scene,I was like:”Punch the mirror,punch the mirror.” 😛
They got the debree out of his head
So Snake punched the mirror because he ran out of Whiskey ?? xD
Okay.This song is officially stuck in my head.I can’t stop listening to it.
It is quite catchy.

10/10 – I never knew this was a thing in needed in my life.
Poor Venom – there really wasn’t enough whiskey.
Punished Snake – A man without enough whisky
xD

Such a lust for whiskey…..WHOOOOOOOOO?!?!?!?!?!?!
Kiefer is pursuing new research…
I knew he was a singer but I didn’t expect to like it that much! The song isn’t exactly something I like but it’s really catchy. And the voice! Makes you regret he had not much lines in V :(. Also he could have well sung a song for the game.
Hey Sina, how come you sing now ?! ;D
Awesome!!! I didn’t know Kiefer sing so well :O! I love country songs and this sounds very nice :D…Kiefer ftw O/.
Thanks for sharing the video Sina.
“Kaz…I’m already a country singer…”
Wow haha …. he went from doing some great movies during 1980’s – 1990’s to Jack Bauer for 24 in 2000 – 2010 …. then on to voice acting/facial capture for Snake in 2013 – 2015 and now he is singing country music. 😀
He sings pretty well too!
I think he truly deserved an eye to be kept on, as you did. 😉

I will buy one for the collection. Really wanted one since Ken teased it.
This is why I love this site.
Do you have any leads to tip you off when things like this go up? I doubt you search “Metal Gear Solid V Artbook” into Amazon everyday lol.
Well this was posted by a site called Game Idealist (added to the source section), and it was posted on N4G. We also get press releases by Konami, but they are usually quite late, and they haven’t even mentioned this art book yet.
Any time I see that art work I think of this. I really can’t unsee it.
Although glad the bear won the casting over the Karakul Sheep. xD
Haha xD yeah, good times !
Will you guys buy it ? I want to buy it but the price isnt exactly cheap, and well I guess I want to see first if its worth the price.
YES definitely! Preordered it directly after I saw this post 😀
Somehow I get the feeling this won’t be as good as the art of MGS 1, 2, or 4, but if it’s just nearly as good, then it’s worth buying (and once it’s sold out, the prices will start skyrocketing…)
It’s still gonna be some sweet Shinkawa concepts
I’m not sure yet. I’ve bought quite a lot of MGSV stuff already.
Absolutely! You can expect a Close Up article on this site when it arrives.
I bought it already, I mean amazon doesn’t charge you until they ship and by then I will have decided if I want it or not. Right now I just secured that if I do want one when they come out, I will have one for sure, instead of making the mistake of waiting and then being sold out.
Pretty much every one of Dark Horse’s game art books have been fantastic, really well packaged.
I have ones from TLOU, Remember Me, Bioshock Infinite, dragon age inquisition and more. Totally worth the price.
I hope there’s one version with an Yoji Shinkawa illustration, because even when cgi models can be posed we get the same artwork over and over again, the MGS4 artbook had a killer cover, also MPW was a nice book, and the US HD edition hardcover is classy, this one just look cheap, like a gaming magazine or an unofficial guide
Guys, is it possible to order this to the UK??
