I think the pose looks quite natural! Though you're right it's not an action pose, per se. (Taking a selfie in front of an enemy squad he just abducted with the balloon things? I haven't played MGS5, forgive me!) Anyway, right back at ya with the art watch
I drew it because I just wanted some practice in character drawing and anatomy (and also because I'm addicted to MGS5). And while I was happy with the overall result, the pose that Big Boss is in looks a bit stilted and I have trouble imagining how to make a good scene out of it. Anyway, if I wanted to combine it with some scenery, I would have chosen something else.
you gotta do a whole scene from this, that style is incredible
My Venom Snake didn't kill a single person in the entire game!
