I must admit, the picture is actually pretty touching. I'm not particularly fond of The Boss character right now for a variety of reasons, but regardless, that actually almost makes me want to cry, even though I really can't bring myself to do so.
The Boss being killed, especially when it was due to being sold out thanks to Volgin, and later games even implying that even that was just an excuse for a plan to kill her off from the start anyways, was definitely a very sad event. I must say, though, I do thinkΒ Kojima made a huge mistake having The Boss wipe out Groznyj Grad and Graniny Gorki off-screen with the Davy Crockett immediately beforehand and then say "Life's death, isn't it beautiful" immediately afterwards,Β since it made her about as bad as if not even worse than Volgin (honestly, he, for good reason, was treated as being very much in the wrong when he nuked the Sokolov Research Facility, so why did they brush that crime aside with The Boss? It's actually one of the reasons why I simply cannot take the concept of a complete monster seriously despite my having a view of absolute right or wrong, an almost black and white view at that).
I still wish MGS4 didn't try to force in a "stay the same" hamstring of a will by The Boss in the end, though, since that completely contradicts a lot of her actions and even her words in MGS3. Heck, stealing the Philosophers' Legacy in itself isn't going to "keep things the same," it's still going to enact change regardless of what anyone says, same with Philanthropy's goal of eliminating MetalΒ Gears, that is change for the world either way, which meant they were hypocrites really.
I'm not too cotton with her statement on the views of soldiers in Snake Eater, though, especially American soldiers. The way she was talking indicated something akin to the Stormtroopers or battle droids from Star Wars, basically being pawns and always obeying the higher orders, regardless of what they may be, and even if it amounts to significant wrong-doing. It may be what the USSR or Nazi Germany values in its soldiers, but it ISN'T what American soldiers are taught to believe (and BTW, American soldiers obey the Constitution, not the times. Kojima really needs to take a lesson in the American Constitution, really). If anything, disobeying orders that areΒ unlawful or amoral is what American soldiers do toΒ prove their patriotism if Teddy Roosevelt has anything to say on that matter.Β Not to mention several of her statements come across as extremely nihilistic and relativistic as a result (not surprising, considering Solid Snake basically inferred in the previous game that absolute reality never existed), though then again, we have Kojima's insistence on a nihilistic attitude from its characters to blame for that. I also must wonder, will The Boss become a Che Guevara fangirl, assuming she survived Snake Eater? As hard as it is to believe a woman who is implied to be very loyal to America would worship an anti-American icon and mass-murderer, if Big Boss worshipping that monster in Peace Walker is anything to go by [even before he "gave up" on The Boss in Chapter 4], I'd suspect The Boss would do the same, especially when her views are not much different than Sartre's sick existentialist views.
Overall, good job with the artwork, I mean that in all sincerity.

Listening to Way to Fall and observing this masterpiece. What a tear-jerker...
But this is great. This has to be the best piece depicting Boss and Snake.

I was so happy when Big Boss beat her ass and killed her, what a terrible character. Β

Such a heartbreaking battle between Master and Apprentice. He carried the Patriot in honor of The Boss, and then passed it on to the son. Rest in peace... Big Boss.

it would be cool if Raiden in the Rising sequel visits Snake's memorial and finds the Patriot laid there and upon picking it up a video of Snake plays and Β Snake sends a final message for him and after the video plays the Patriot's ID lock unlocks specifically for Raiden and Raiden swears to a picture of Snake nearby that he's going to make him proud

Great job on capturing this scene. It's one of the most important scenes if not THE most important scene in the entire series. Absolutely great work

Honestly the MGS series is the only game series that makes me feel what the characters do. It's just awesome.

Really beautiful here; I like how the Boss is sad and resigned, knowing that the fight that's about to take place must happen, no matter how personally painful it will be.
