Metal Gear Solid watchface port request

Dear all!
Thanks for being an amazing community and continuously bringing new watchfaces to our Amazfit Bip! I have a request to make since I have no experience in making/porting watchfaces myself.
So Metal Gear Solid holds a special place in my heart and I would love to sport an MGS watchface on my Bip. I know of the one designed by preman_pasar (
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/view/?id=10249) but I would like to request if someone could port this Amazfit Stratos version designed by cristian moscatelli (
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/pace/view/?id=148). I am sure other users would love to have this on their Bip as well and it will be a huge success.
I'm not sure if it's too much to ask or if even possible but is it possible to have the characters change after every hour or so from Snake to Ocelot to Liquid, etc. I've seen a Moto 360 version that does that and it even reads "This is Snake. The time is 9:50" or "Snake? It is now 9:50" (when the person on the codec is someone else).
Might be a long shot but I think it's worth a try? Thanks a lot in advance!

I took a look at the Pace watchface and I'll try my best to do a good port but give me some time.
This is my first quick photoshop version. All green is text at this moment and will be later in that "glowish" lighter green.
I can't get Snakes face better because of the resolution and the color limitations - this pic is dithered from only 3 colors (black, green and cyan - I can also include white but this makes the pic look to light).
Please comment - this WF shall fit your taste

ported to

By the way: Also the Stratos has a color limitation while not unlocked.
This is the original WF in locked mode:

Here are three kinds of dithered Snake images - with 3 colors, 4 colors and 8 colors:

You can see the difference when you zoom in.

Hi! So sorry for the late reply! I thought everybody left me

But I did not get any email notifications for your reply. I shall check this thread more often. Thanks a lot for your help! You PhotoShop work looks great. But could you remove the dotted lines around the WF? Also, I prefer the middle Snake in your last reply.
Do you know if you can get other characters to show up at different times?
Thank you so much again!!!

Pregunta... Que tipo de imagen es la que se puede utilizar en el Editor Bip "/editor/watchfaceEditor/?bip "?
Trate de subir unas imagenes pero no las veo en el preview.

I loved the metal gear watchface, however I bought a huawei gt 2 and it is only compatible with the hwt format and that's why I can't install your cover, would it be possible for you to make an hwt version? I would love to personalize my watch with your watchface

Hola, buenos días, estoy impresionado con su versión del códec de metal gear, sin embargo, compré un huawei gt 2 sin saber que el reloj solo aceptaba cubiertas en formato hwt. Me gustaría saber si podría portar su reloj para este tipo de relojes, muchas gracias de antemano.

So after all that time I finally made it to build this watchface (
https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/view/32970).
Due to heavy illness it took long to get back to my machine so let me say sorry for this long delay.
I hope you have fun with it...

I'm sorry but I have no clue on how to build watchfaces for the Huawei GT 2. The process for doing this is very different for every smartwatch.
But of course I'll give the graphics if they are usefull for someone willing to create a GT2 WF.
