MGS3: Happiness is a Warm Gun

Description

My recent conquering of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has left me with an unhealthy obsession with the young Major Ocelot and his dorkiness. I heard the song "Happiness is a Warm Gun" from the Across the Universe soundtrack, and pretty much melted at the visuals that danced through my head. Ocelot -does- love his guns... indeed.

And the symbolism makes it even hotter. I don't think it qualifies as "mature content," but if anyone disagrees I'll gladly mark it as such.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun with foreshortening and the funky high-angle view. I originally had him sitting on a couch, but that made it look much less dramatic. So he's just floating in his own little world right now.

I was careful to draw his finger on the TRIGGER GUARD, NOT the TRIGGER. He's not contemplating shooting himself. He's just enjoying the feel of warm metal on his skin. >3<
