Why Snake And Meryl Broke Up

Another Metal Gear fanart. Sorry to those who won't understand ^^;

Anyway, I was bored and this popped into my mind. XD As all of you who have played MGS know, the Meryl ending is the official ending, and SnakexMeryl is canon.


But sometime before the MGS2 timeline, they apparently broke up for some unknown reason... o-o

This would be one of my crazy guesses. XD Most likely it would be obsolete by the time MGS4 is released this June. Hopefully they'll reveal why.

Anyway, those girls behind Meryl are women from the first two Metal Gear games who have had some feelings for him.
Took some artistic license in drawing them, so sorry if they suck. ^^;

Her pixel sprite was wearing a red dress... o-o I found that weird.

Apparently Snake and Holly had mutual feelings for each other. Meryl's most pissed about her, I think. XD she was the cutest, but I drew her worst. -_-

It bothers me that the new version of her looks like a mix of the girls in the series. She has Mei Ling's face ponytail, and microphone thing, the color of EVA's clothes and hair, and The Boss' bandana. At first I thought she was a readhead. And like her name implies, she's really pale.... :O_o:

This girl's style is so tacky. >_< It's so... 80's. Haha. Wouldn't blame her. It was drawn in the 80's. She had feelings for Snake, but never confessed them. She reminds me of a female Cloud here. rofl


Sorry about the stupid lettering/inking -_- . Haven't really drawn comics in a long time. So if the text is difficult to read:

Meryl: Who are these women??
Snake: I-er,uh-
Meryl: "..Never been interested in anyone else's life..." Weren't those your EXACT WORDS?!?!
Snake: Wait, I- I can explain!!!
Meryl: Well?!?

Ellen: I refuse to marry any other man!
Holly: Snake, what about that dinner you promised to take me to?
Diane: ...
Diane's inner fangirl: KYAA~!
