I was working on commissions, but I got the sudden inspiration to draw a thing I was talking to my sister about.

Basically the idea is an alternate ending to MGS2 where Solidus defeats Raiden in the final battle, setting forth a different chain of events. This is the basic idea of how Raiden would look circa 2010 in this timeline. He’s still been turned into a cyborg by The Patriots, but has much more of his body left.

His design is base mostly off of an unused design from MGS4, as well as his MGS2 appearance and bits of Rising and MGS4 Raiden.
