Most of you probably don't know me, but this used to be my stomping ground along with amazing artists like MadSpike, Hellknight, Radioactive Bob, Deathspawn11, ElectricGeneral.... the list goes on.
Suffice to say, the site is still chock full of talent, far surpassing my own, and that makes me very happy :)
I recently saw an old comment on deviantArt that made me think of this place, and it inspired me to make this.
I chose MGSV because there haven't been many made (yet), and it's my most anticipated game of.....ever.
I Hope you all enjoy the box. It took many hours, and i now have a sore lower back =)
Created in CS2 (because that's literally what I still use)
plastic template: Scorpion Soldier/Bastart Thanks guys :)

Good to see you back dude! I knew this was coming when I saw you liked a few of my boxes haha. Cool to see you and Mist pop back in at around the same time and post stuff.
The box is excellent, my only problems with it are the header text on the back being a little confusing to read at first and the renders on the front seeming a little weird because of the colors (I think? they almost seem like theyre different art styles too) Maybe if they had a little more orange in them to match the background? Not sure it could take some playing around but it's good work either way!

Haha! Yeah I've been lurking for a minute trying to gather some inspiration (and resources). Thanks for the constructive criticism. I was positive the Fox quote would work like that until I pulled up full view, and then even I was confused! "Fox were born?" so yeah I'll see what I can do there, and as far as the front goes, it's just a cooled layer I forgot to adjust it after I started going for the whole firey look. Again, I'll see what I can do =)
Glad to see a familiar face! Or... Username...

Welcome back, WickedGamer1! You and I came back the same time lol weird... You stalking me, bro!? lol jk. Well, it looks like you haven't lost a beat my friend. I'm not familiar with MGS at all, never got into it, but this looks nice. I agree with what ole DeathSpawn said, it is a bit confusing looking at it in whole, but it's easy on the eyes. Sexy job!

HelghastMist! haha more familiar faces! Thanks for the kind words man!
Very weird we both got the same vibes like, "GO TO VGBOXART. THEY NEED YOU" =P
definitely nice to have your talents back here as well. Gonna go peep your boxes & copy your ideas ;)
Check out V 2.0, see if that's any improvement.. moved some text around and blended the characters betterer.
