Metal Slug!

2D Forever

This picture spurred from a quick sketch on my tablet , and so I decided to draw it out properly by hand, and go through the usual scanning process.

For those Metal Slug fans, it is indeed Marco Rossi, with his shapely, characterful face. I've always loved the care and attention that went into the Metal Slug games (ignoring the poor effort on Metal Slug 4) and wanted to pay my respect towards those great games.

I have to admit I really like the colouring on this one, especially his skin tones. Typically I make everything highly desaturated, so I went for bold this time.
My only gripe being the background... but I never like backgrounds.

Why the long face, Marco?

Guffawhawhaw!

Man, there was an arcade I would go to back in '99 and 2000, and they had the coolest damn Metal Slug X arcade machine set-up I have ever seen.
I've even looked online to see if anyone else had one like it, but I think it was custom since I haven't been able to. Or just really rare. I really don't know. It bugs me that I can't even share with anyone a picture of how badass the thing was.
 
Anyways, the thing was huge. The screen was pretty damn big, had a big steel platform (if you're familiar with the steel steps used in pro wrestling, it was like that style but flat) and it had the style where it was played by shooting arcade gun controllers.
I fuckin' loved that thing. When it was gone when I went back one day, I legit damn near wept for its absence. :<
