History

Canvas 93

Solid Snake founds Militaires Sans Frontières at the start of Canvas 93 as a faction to fight for smaller artworks on canvases. This plan never comes to fruition, and no art is made for Canvas 93.

Canvas 93a

Solid Snake renames Militaires Sans Frontières to Diamond Dogs and switched focus on to making art of MGS/Kojima Productions. Their first art was made on Canvas 93a and featured artwork of Old Snake and Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid 4.

Canvas 94

For Canvas 94 Diamond Dog's made artwork of the ending to Metal Gear Solid 3, when Naked Snake kills his mentor, The Boss.

This template had been subject to failed griefing attempts as retaliation for Diamond Dog's leader, Solid Snake, joining the Swarm War.

"This canvas we're working on the end of The Boss, and the rise of Big Boss! Don't keep us waiting huh?" -Solid Snake

Canvas 95

Canvas 95 was Diamond Dog's most active canvas to date.

They made a template of Solidus Snake, the third son of Big Boss.

They also made a thank you piece for NEC for aiding with the defense of the Big Boss template in Canvas 94. This was repeatedly griefed throughout the beginning of the canvas, and to the very end after moving and updates to the template.
