the artwork- i havent seen anybody specifically speak about the artwork other than the fanmade stuff so i just got to say this-I Friggen Love it-this was a very cool aspect of Jet moto there were no cutscenes so you had to Rely on imagination and the Art did a great job of filling in the void so much that cutscenes weren't needed. The artwork from Jet Moto 2 as you could notice was a lot more detailed and more vibrant than Jet Moto 1, in my opinion, since there were 10 main characters and 1 bonus character to focus on as opposed to 20. i like how in some Victory shots in Jet Moto 2 there's alway that one bearded guy in the background, i like to imagine that's Mike Giam haha (although mike had longish hair and no beard in a video i saw about twisted metal 2 and dave jaffe). and also how in the background sometimes you could see a little picture of the sponser of the racer who won. the People around the Victory shot gave it Life. I love JET MOTO for the artwork which was also one of the reasons i couldn't connect with jet moto 3 Attachments:

Gotta thank Sal Velluto for that. He did the illustrations for both JM1 and JM2 (as well as TM2). Here is his website (I'm linking to his bio) www.velluto.com/bio.htmlI think he's a fantastic artist and I'm glad he was involved in JM. Don't think anyone else could have matched that feel perfectly. |

He probably does anything you commission him for.

It really is kind of the unappreciated aspect of the games, but seeing Velluto's gallery helps put in perspective how much work must have gone into those illustrations. Personally, I think Nebulous was always my favorite in terms of the art.

Man, Sal's work is just awesome! His blog has got a great amount of Phantom... LOL --- toxik87 , nice collection, man. You even got Katamari, MGS and Legacy of Kain in there =D. But it's a little messy, don't you think? XD And nice drawing too... =) I wish I drawed this good too, but I'm really lazy to train my drawing skills, LOL |

But it's a little messy, don't you think? XD And nice drawing too... =) I wish I drawed this good too, but I'm really lazy to train my drawing skills, LOL Yep i've been a fan of MGS since '04 right when Snake Eater came out i got it for christmas. i should have gotten into it earlier but i never could find a copy of the first one until a little earlier than Snake eater's release. I had a friend in elementary that was really into the series so i got into it cause of him and i also had played a demo of the First one and thought it was so cool to be a spy and take out bad guys by choking em i thought it was So mature at the time. AND heck yes i like LOK- Soul Reaver 1 is my favorite one of the series I absolutely LOVE those 32 bit Graphics. yeah katamari is sure trippy( have you tried playing Robot Alchemic Drive? you could kind of see it on my top stack in my picture) Oh and the reason i have the games in that way is Because it's the best way i could come up with to Have easier access to all my games. yeah it seems i'm the only one who appreciates the way i have it organized haha cause my family also thinks it's kind of messy. And Thanks, yeah I really want to finish the Wild Ride picture soon cause i just got led out on Vacation i just Finished Statistics so i got 4 weeks of freedom to do it |

Man, are we clones or what? LOL XD
I think I became a real hardcore/cult gamer some months after getting Snake Eater. Since then I've played most other Hideo Kojima games (LOVE Snatcher, Policenauts and Z.O.E.), completed my LoK collection (Soul Reaver 1 is also my favorite, alongside Blood Omen 1, VAE VICTUS!), and met the Katamari series. The first time I ever played MGS and LoK was when I was 3 or 4 years old, in the demo disc (Interactive CD Sampler Disc Vol. 8) that came with my brothers' PlayStation (aah, the nostalgia *-*).
But I still didn't play R.A.D., unfortunately =/.
My set up is also a mess, but I put most games in disc bags. It's a pain to find the game I want to play, though.
I have a drawing notebook which I used for Arts classes in 8th grade. I took out the shitty ones which I did in school, and now I use it to draw my favourite characters, but got only two drawings until now (they're kinda looking good, but nothing professional). I planned to draw more in my vacations, but they end today and I didn't draw anything new in it, LOL.
