Birthday gift art for a close friend of mine.
Will try and make a huge print of this to surprise him so he can hang it on his wall.

Been working on this for the last 2 weeks or so, really trying to pour my heart and soul into it, not only to make it good for my friend, but to really push the limits of my art ability.
There's so much more that I could add, I know, but I feel I really improved on my shading and lighting, overall.

MGS Raiden was a huge reference, but especially with the armor design as was Guts from Berserk for the character design.
