I found an odd image at this Metal Gear fan site: The interior view of Solid Snake’s polygon model from Sons of Liberty.
Apparently inside of Snake is… Phil Collins in a fedora. For some reason I’d always imagined he was made of sterner stuff.

… why does he have two eyes?
I think a better question would be… don’t you?
…Because the hooooook brings you baaaaack – I ain’t tellin you no lieeeee.
Actually my initial reaction was that he looks like Everdread from Earthbound: http://www.everdread.com/clay_everdred.png
Brings new meaning to Land of Confusion.

It looks like two Snake faces collided. Marc’s answer works too.
By the way , Parish, I just read your most recent 1up blog. You intentionally kept that “Personal Website” link on your blog away from Gamespite, eh? People seem to have responded favorably, if somewhat confusingly to it. My two cents on the matter would be to put a half-page or one-page Gamespite-style article on an older game with a current game for an upcoming EGM (ex: a shortened version of one of your MGS articles with the MGS4 review). Alternatively, you can mention the article in EGM by a particular game. Compare and contrast the traffic and go from there.
I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep for a week.
The unwrapped skin bitmaps for the Little Sisters from BioShock are much higher-octane nightmare fuel than that.
The original True Crime on the Xbox had an interesting bug that meant you could rotate that camera through the backs of pedestrians’ heads and see a similarly grotesque thing as above.
Looks more like the villain from Raiders of the Lost Ark to me.
He reminded me of secret squirrell http://www.80snostalgia.com/classictv/secret/pic1.jpg
Heh-heh, its SusSnake not Susudio…
I can see how both sides are basically mirrored, and even understanding this, I am scared beyond all reason. Oh, David…
“Looks more like the villain from Raiders of the Lost Ark to me.” Is that pre- or post-ark?
