    EDIT UPDATE: See my post below for more info.

    Most probable candidate #1

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Possible candidate #2
    (Original video I posted):

    Artyom's shadow model may make a (possible) appearance as a guard in the quarantine station. The 4A engine seems to only load Artyom's shadow when the viewing angle is panned down far enough to save on resources... (Artyom's model also made appearances in Metro 2033 - such as the head manager at "The Market"). I've only noticed this effect with this model in noclip mode. (Edit: It seems now that this model is unlikely to be the shadow model used, but I'll leave it here as a possible secondary candidate).

    It seems that during POV cutscenes that only part of Artyom's body is rendered. (I guess since the close proximity of the viewing angle would have you clipping inside his head). The image below is the best angle I could get when flying out of the end of the stripper dance cutscene:

    Here's a reference of Artyom's cutscene model I took in Metro 2033:

    The same model was used for the manager in "The Market" level:

    No boner tent in his pants in front of the stripper. :p

    Somewhat like Hunter in that video... I took a screenshot a little lower and he appears a bit younger. The angle of the gask mask taken in the video still had some overlay on his skin, making his skin appear more weathered.

    I found Artyom's cutscene model in Polis! He looks much different than Artyom in Metro 2033... I still think the guard in quarantine may be the model used to cast his shadow. Here's a video and some pics below... (This video is in 3 parts):

    0:00 - 2:27 = Noclip in Polis subway used for cutscene.
    2:28 - 3:34 = Noclip of Artyom's cutscene model in Polis.
    3:35 - 5:19 = Crazy subway skybox with Pavel's doppelgänger. :D

    we can conclude that; artyom is part of a huge conspiracy of clone-armies infecting the metro world.

    since there clearly are more than 1 artyom.

    It seems that Artyom is actually a Hyperdyne 120-A/2 android... Mr. Weyland appears to have made stock in the metro as well. (The proof is below). :D

    Here's two passes of Artyom's headless body during the first stripper dance (@ 0:02 and 0:08). The cutscene scripts were partially controlling my movements, so these were the best shots I could capture.

    Would putting the camera on the model's nosebridge have been enough or is the camera that hooge?

    This is a short video of Artyom's model during Anna's and Artyom's sex scene. I changed the coordinates of the cutscene camera to move higher and to the left.. I was not in control of the actual panning and tilting of the cutscene camera, so these are currently the best shots I could get. (Notice the detached arms used in this scene, while Artyom's main model has his pinned behind his back). :)

    It's interesting to see that they didn't use the headless model for this scene, and just tipped the model's head back... Maybe this is also the model that is used to cast Artyom's shadow after all!
    (I always thought Artyom's shadow somewhat resembled a ninja!) Hahaha! :lol:
