TCD Finale Dump

As promised, here's a crapload of sketches (some new, some very old) that I shared during TCD Extravaganza Day, the day dedicated to the finale of my (now retired) MGS3 fancomic The Cobra Days. I spoke at great length over the course of multiple Ustream sessions, and if you REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED (and thus will better understand this dumpage of art) go here.
(if you want to get to the good stuff, skip the pre-show and part 1, which is just me being unfocused and going over the existing strips)

Regardless, here's a brief (VERY ABRIDGED) timeline of TCD-canon happenings that are being featured in this dump (BUT SERIOUSLY, for details, go watch the Ustream videos!):

_{1942- Joy puts together the Cobra Unit, and yes, she and Fear totally fucked also, Fury is possibly the most tragic Cobra ('Forming the Unit' flashback arc would have come a little bit after Colditz)
1943- after Fear and Sorrow have a bonding adventure (BONDING, not bondage), Joy & Sorrow grow closer and ultimately conceive Ocelot when on a mission in Italy
1944, D-Day- Joy gives birth and she is carted off the field for medical attention, but in truth this is when Ocelot is taken from her by the Philosophers (yes, that's Major Zero); we find out that Sorrow is actually involved to a degree, and (to say the least) Joy & Sorrow have a falling out; at the end of the war, they part on uncertain terms, but by no means as enemies
1962- Joy is part of the mission to get Sokolov out of Russia, and is assigned to take out a KGB agent-- incidentally, The Sorrow........and we all know what happens there (or if you don't, then you haven't played Snake Eater)
1964- the events of Snake Eater, EVERYONE DIES}

And that's it. 8|


...GO WATCH THE USTREAM VIDEOS. Otherwise, if someone ELSE wants to summarize, in writing, everything that I rambled about for hours, you're welcome to.
_{I just plain don't have the time...which is why I did the Ustream, hurr.}
