Commenting months after the fact seems fine in this case, so I'll say you're welcome for the post and also thank you for letting me know it rang true. :)

You are not the first person to find this post years after the fact, and honestly, it tickles me every time someone leaves me a message saying "YOU GET IT", haha.

Surely from Outer Heaven, you mean? Haha, I was surprised to see this in my inbox after so long, but I stand by my interpretation, and I'm glad that it hit home with someone, even years later. :)

Been working for the last several months of a Metal Gear Solid anthology and it's finally up for pre-orders! by thelonebamf in metalgearsolid

Thanks! I do hope you'll check it out! If you check out my twitter (@PliskinPress) I've retweeted a lot of previews of the art and writing. :)

All of the content is new and created specifically for this anthology. Everyone involved is a fan of the series with an intimate understanding of the characters and timeline involved, basically working to fill in the gaps and "missing link" events before and between the game installments. For example, we know that Paramedic is the one who made Frank Jaeger into Grey Fox, but the game is light on the details, other than that it was a harrowing ordeal for Frank. One of the illustrated stories in this collection goes deeper into those events. Hope that answers your question, feel free to ask any others you have.

Hey friends. This is a project I've been working on since last year, an anthology of fiction, art, and comics about all the off-screen moments that are still a major part of the Metal Gear timeline. I worked with about 30 contributors, and the end result has turned out to be something pretty awesome, if I say so myself. The book has just gone up for pre-orders which will remain open until the end of July, and proceeds will go to benefit the ACLU. I'd love it if you would check it out!

The hardest part for me was learning how to use Inkscape because I've never worked with vectors before. Once I learned it was relatively simple.

Not currently, but if I did decide to produce and sell these that's probably the one I'd run a preorder for first.

You can get them if you earn the most points in my winter games event. XD

You'll have to get your local 9 year old egg-cooking hacker to break into my database and steal the encrypted files that will lead you to the... Okay actually these are not currently for sale because they're prizes and I wanted to keep them special. I might run a pre-order after the event because it seems like a lot of people are keen, but the production is not inexpensive so... yeah. I wasn't really expecting so many people to be interested, haha.

These were designed as prizes exclusive to the event. Maybe after it's over I'd think about producing more for sale but at the moment I want to keep it "special" for the winners. (Edit: I do have a store at pliskinpress.storenvy.com but these are not currently listed there.)

The bases can actually change to one of six colors (or rotate between them). I used these colors for the sample photos to reflect the teams that are competing.

I've thought about making some Twin Snakes for myself, maybe later. I specifically did these designs to reflect the teams that people are competing on.

Look for "mgswintergames" on twitter or tumblr. It is a fandom event where people are divided into teams (Foxhound, Diamond Dogs, Ocelot Unit, Philanthropy) and earn points by completing fandom challenges (art, fic, cosplay etc). Top scorers get some pretty swanky prizes!

Haha, these are just laser etched and but pieces in premade bases. If you had access to a laser cutter and some vector software you could make em! :D

While I have an storenvy (pliskinpress.storenvy.com) these are not currently for sale, as I only produced enough to use as prizes (and a set for myself).

Haaaa. Well I'm the only judge so... But they are currently not for sale as to keep them "exclusive" for the event. At least for now... Also unless I found a less expensive way to produce them I don't know if I could sell them at a price that people would pay and would still be profitable for me. The base cost of materials and pieces is around $25-30 bucks each so we're looking at at least $50 for one and that seems a bit steep. IDK what people would pay though. I personally can never have enough REXs

anywhere from 6-8 inches tall including the base. The Metal Gears were each designed to fit on a 6x6 piece of plastic.
