Description Finally finished. All pencil, but for the sepia tone.

A little bit to mushy to be comfortable with, I say as Metroid fan, but I like it nonetheless.

BEAUTIFUL!!! I don't think it's too mushy, it's got a similar feel to the flashback in Metroid Zero Mission.

You have a lot of passion and power in your lines, which add to the scene portrayed in the picture. Very nice.

Hi there!
^skifi is too busy (he says busy, I say lazy!) to let you know, so I've been asked to tell you that you're featured in his regular anthro feature, here:

Congratulations, it's certainly deserved.

Old Bird (the Chozo who raised Samus) is shorter than that but whatever wonderful art piece.

It's not Old Bird, though. I just ignore the Metroid Manga because I hate it with a fiery passion.

Umm old bird appears in Samus' Flashback in Zero Mission AND ending artwork for Fusion.Β

chalcara In reply to lady-warrior [2016-11-12 15:41:01 +0000 UTC]

It's not Old Bird, because this art's from late 2003, published in 2004, which means this picture is more than twelve years old and has been made before either game was published.

There are children who played Metroid and are younger than this picture.

Awww I really like your chozo, and the fact that this peice depicts a chozo holding samus as a child makes it so adorable. I like it just the way it is.

Die Schattierungen und Schraffuren sind wirklich klasse o.O. Der Vogelkopf tritt sehr schΓΆn in den Vordergrund, gefΓ€llt mir!
Da ich die Serie(?) nich kenn muss ich mich leider darauf beschrΓ€nken

sitar [2005-01-09 11:15:45 +0000 UTC]

metroid fan art with that kind of composition, theme and or detail is very hard to come by.
And NOONE makes chozos! Everyone has a different interpretation, even if this seems way too terranean, its.. that was not a real sentence.

But the composition.
its like this chozo-headed tent of memories.

.. I think I may have to come back and stalk out any more metroid stuff from you..

Thanks for the compliment!

to Earthern?

Sure, I agree. I did this only from memory of the statues in SuperMetroid and the vow "do not make them look like in that shoddy manga." In my head "Chozo" is kind of stuck stuck as "Birdpeople with strange feathers in the neck." So that's maybe why.

I don't think i can give much critiscim other than to say i think it is a wonderfully rendered image, im not really up to date on the backstory of the piece (Metroid?) you have managed to show amazing emotion in the eyes of the Griffin? this can be difficult with any image including Birds of any kind. Other than that the only thing i can see that takes away from the image is the background, there is so much vitality to the forefront, that the background seems rather blank or to put it another way it seems so much plainer. Anyway i hope that helps if not you have my permission to shoot me (won't work cause you know i have the Odin King of the Gods thing going on, )

Thank you.

Yep, it's Metroid.

But now that you'Re saying it... Yes the background is to blank. I should have put some more details in it. But honestly, when I drew the background I didn't know yet what comes into the foreground, so I didn't even consider it. XD
