"Acya? Acya? Acyaaaa!"

Thoughts

Easily one of the most amusing art pieces I own. It's full of such vibrant detail and personality it's hard not to laugh at it and all the little sight jokes baked into it. Yes, this is obviously an homage to the Metal Gear series. If anyone has any familiarity with it you’ll find many nods littered towards it on the box. See if you can spot them all! For all those that have no clue at what I’m talking about, I suggest you get cultured and start playing Metal Gear Solid or Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. You will thank me later.

Alas I cannot quite remember how this piece came to be? I seem to remember streaming with the artist SecretBlack6 (whom I shall refer to as Jack for the rest of my thoughts), and I guess one thing led to another and we were discussing Metal Gear. I seem to recall cracking a joke about Acya trying to sneak around with a box over him (like in the games) and having no doubt he would fail at the task. I guess we both had a good laugh at it because Jack was so inspired by the idea he made it a reality quick smart.

I’m sure as I look over the art piece now I see no way Acya could possibly fail in his stealth mission. If it weren't for the eyes you wouldn't even realise he was underneath. Just ignore the wagging tail and feetsies poking out. Just those new fangled Japanese smart boxes that can walk around and store themselves… That's all. ^^;

I’m actually surprised it took me this long to even upload it. My original intention was immediately when I got it but then I got sidetracked with other art pieces. Then I decided to wait for the remake of the third game to come out, and failed then as well. Then I was doing a playthrough of all the games but stopped to play other things. Needless to say I am awful with deadlines, anniversaries and a chronic procrastinator at heart that works on so many other things at once.

Also another reason for my lax upload- and this definitely wasn't the original intention of the art piece -was that I realised it could be made into the perfect Discord sticker. So I did, and have been spamming it on a variety of servers ever since. The perfect camouflage sticker. Nobody will ever see me coming (giddy).

I highly recommend giving Jack an immediate watch. He’s an incredibly talented artist that definitely needs more views and watches. Someone to really monitor as the years slowly move on and he releases more high quality (bondage) art. Plus, he’s a bunny and incredibly cute.
