Another unfinished piece finished. If you're keeping track, you'll note I'd been posting these TM2 Mechs pics in numerical order, as I'm wont to do when it comes to Robot Masters in general. Back in 2007 I started with Needle, followed shortly with Magnet, took a couple more months for Gemini, then put the rest to the side for a year and a half and did Hardman earlier this week. "Now hold on!" you say, "Topman comes before Snakeman, you skipped one!" Sadly, yes. Back when I sketched all these up and scanned them in, I decided at the last moment that Top's and Shadow's drawings weren't right and left them out. I figured I would redo and perfect them quickly enough. Well, I didn't. And some time in the last year and a half Gauntlet finished his own version of the "draw the Mechs in TM2 armor" project, thus removing my motivation to do it myself. I'm just going to finish up the lineart I already scanned in, and then move onto new stuff. It's kinda cheap, but if you want some cool Topman and Shadowman artwork, just go to ~Gauntlet101010's gallery.

Don't really have much to say about Snake himself, even though he's my own character, just that I feel like a shmuck for intricately shading each individual scale only to obcure a lot of the detail with the overall lighting and ambience effect.
