Concept art of characters that didn’t make it to MGS4: Snake-man and ADAM by Yoji Shinkawa from the MASTER ART WORKS artbook

These two were seemingly supposed to be members of the Beauty and the Beast Unit, also known as SNAKEHOUND in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, but were scrapped for some reason.

As with the rest of the BB Unit, they were designed after members of the FOXHOUND UNIT from the first Metal Gear Solid:

• Snake-man after Solid, Liquid and/or Naked Snake
• ADAM after Revolver Ocelot/ Adamska, even though his attire resembles that of the Ocelot Unit from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. His face even resembles young Ocelot’s

If anyone can translate the japanese texts from the images, it would be very much appreciated.
