Description I drew something! *sigh* I was originally making this for an offer someone noted me. An online videogame magazine "The Art of Gaming" was doing this article for metal slug, and they wanted people to draw fanart or make screenshots to use in their mag. I was like, "Hell yeah! I love that game!" but sadly the deadline was too soon for me to finish my pic, so I was bummed. Anywho, I just decided to finish it today just for the sake of finishing.^_^ It's sloppy, yes, but I drew it in pencil on crappy sketchbook paper, so the colors were all spotty. I redid it over and over again trying to find a good way to fill in the holes, but keep some grittiness and sketchiness. Better stuff coming soon.^^

ahh yes... The Iron Nokana the boss in mission 5 of metal slug 001 Mk1 version and the mission 1 in metal slug X Mk2 version where it replaced The Keesi (plane boss).First time a had to fight it I got killed a LOT and then I found its weak spot.Id distroy the turret and shoot under him so only the rockets could hit me but I would just shoot them.But what I cant get is why a vehicle with a rocket launcher,a flame thrower turret,fire cannon, and the girida-o (tank) on its back would be made as a mobile road block...oh well... Still AWSOME job man on the pic

Pretty easy on the first game, 'course I've only played the arcade game, it might be different from playstation, but it was pretty damn easy, I just shot it and dodged the shots, then blew up the flamethrower, then got under it and started grenading the shit out of it until it blew up.

Awesome! Although this "roadblock" was a major pain in the neck while fighting it. I like it!

Cheers to you Metal Slug drawing shadowspark, fantastic work on the boss there! *nods*

I always hated that one boss too, always lost a couple of tokens on him, lol.

Later,

I always hate this boss in the first Metal Slug game

It was sooo hard to beat it in survival mode

that was one of the easiest bosses in history. I just blew up the flamethrower and shot the boss from under!

yeah, seriously. I bet they realized it was ridiculous as a 4th boss, so they made it a 1st boss in the sequel.

I've been playing a lot of Metal Slug recently. I love the series.
This is a great drawing. Grittiness and sketchiness goes well with Metal Slug.

I remember that boss, what a pain in the tail to fight!
Heh, looks great, not everyday you see Metal Slug art. This looks great, amazing work. Wonderful details and colors.

Pain in the tail to fight? Pain in the tail to draw! You wouldn't think, but Metal Slug characters and vehicles are tough to get right. They're deformed, but everything still has to be proportional. And because they're deformed you can't just copy some other person or vehicle in whatever pose. XS Anyways, thanks for the nice comment.

*snickers* That's one reason I haven't really tried to draw them yet. Still, very impressive work.

I like the coloring style. It seems old and faded and adds to the picture. Your very good at drawing machines.
