it's a shame... they put his work for mgs in books and sell them, although they are quite "normal"... nothing too much spaced off, nothing with too much imagination beyond reality etc...
but his work for zoe, the really freaky stuff, is kept hidden somewhere. a shame.

Did you guys know that originally shikawa and kojima planned for the graphics of mgs 1 were to look like shinkawa's drawings. With lines moving with the character, and those smokey colors on them. But the technology can't support anything like that. OMGosh!, would be so damn cooooool! :cool:

bah, it's not a shame that they sell the books... it's a shame that there is massive commerce with his mgs stuff and NOTHING about his zoe stuff although the zoe stuff is equal if not better and suren the more creative.

Have you bought the Document of Metal Gear Solid 2?? You can zoom in and out of his art work!!! I bought the MGS2 artbook at a Japanese story here. I hope to have the new one soon.
