Having this Pinned first. If you would be interested I'm taking early submissions on here before I open up on twitter. All info is in the form!

I've had some "tactical espionage" inspiration recently and have sketching more low profile stealth suits. I didn't realize the entire MGS series got ported to steam the other year. I bought it and will probably slowly play through the trio before MGS4 gets released as well. Luckily I recently stumbled onto some unseen wealth on steam. I had a couple of CSGO skins I bought for pennies back in 2020 that sold for 70$ to 180$ each so I've been treating myself to a lot of things.

Apart from that I've been happy to see Tsukumizu is back with his newest manga. An anthology/prequel to GLT. The first chapter is already promising.

Going a bit further into this little comm I had to do as well. It was fun coming up with the skeletal system. I was originally gonna detail lungs behind the ribcage. But the problem with translucent material is it gets a bit messy and complex the more you detail it.

Here's a redux of yesterday's version. I thought leaving most of the body to be this gel would be best but looking back it looks very muddy as you look lower. The legs blend with the jacket and parts of the torso lose definition. The toughest part about this was going through so many versions of the skeleton, shine and shadows. If you're drawing don't be afraid to leave something and let your brain rest so you can come back to it with fresh thoughts.
