NEW Masked Raiden - Click here!
Raiden, known as "Jack the Ripper" to his enemies due to his brutal tactics, is a Liberian-American trained-to-be soldier under the wing of Solidus Snake. He was trained as a child rigorously and eventually was enhanced with cyborg augmentations. As of MGR:R, Raiden has been working for a group under the name of PMSC Maverick; a private military security company. His most recent mission for maverick, however, was interrupted by the mysterious Desperado Corps.
Raiden is, without contest, one of my favorite video game characters now! And no, not the prissy MGS:4 version. Raiden in MGR:R is an insanely awesome swordsman and looks cool doing anything in my opinion :3
I'm also really proud of this skin; I've been dodging and burning a bit to help give him contrast and to make sure the colors don't look so flat (His color scheme makes it tough to create said contrast)
As always I'm not the best judge of my own work; comment if you have any suggestions for this skin or a suggestion for any of my techniques in general!
FAVORITE it, DIAMOND it, heck, SUBSCRIBE if you're so inclined! Just make sure you get the best out of it :D
