Yoji Shinkawa - Metal Gear Development

‘Yoji Shinkawa’s design workflow for creating a 3D image from an original drawing’

‘Mr. Shinkawa starts his design process by using a brush to make a drawing. The resulting design is a black and white image drawn in Mr. Shinkawa’s distinctive brush style. Then, one of a number of different methods is selected to embody the black and white image. The original picture may be touched up, it may be transferred to a 3D figure, or if the design is complicated, it may be modeled out of clay.’
