For fans of stealth series Metal Gear Solid, the name of âYoji Shinkawaâ is nearly as important as MGS creator Hideo Kojima. Itâs Shinkawa whoâs responsible for the gameâs visual look. Something he recreates right here.
The artist is holding an exhibit at the Konami Style store in Tokyo and is doing a live painting show as part of the exhibit. The above clip was taken by Tokyoâs Ice Block Flims and shows just day 1 of an on-going âBig Boss/Snakeâ painting. Stunning.
Shinkawa started out on the development side, working as a debugger on sci-fi game Policenauts, but has since left his mark brush on the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
âThe Art of Yoji Shinkawaâ runs until January 31 at the Konami Style store in Tokyo Midtown.
