Description
    Samus Aran at the start of Metroid Prime, chasing the Space Pirates (didn't know what suit she would have under her Power suit in Metroid Prime so I put her in her Fusion outfit).

    My favorite part about this is the planet. I thought it came out so amazing. I wanted so much to give it that massive feeling. Samus came out ok... but she looks a little odd and you can tell it isn't my most up to date work.

It did look a little strange, but not so much that it detracted from the overall feeling I was getting. I remember clearly the opening scene where Samus was coming out of her ship from the top hatch, and now I'm imagining an extension of that intro where after showing the the frigate and then showing her ship coming into view, we see a quick glimpse inside the cockpit with her being shown in this exact pic, only her figure is largely concealed from (makes sense since you had to earn the right to actually see her face.). This is a great pic with a great feeling, and I thank you dear lady for evoking such powerful thought especially long after I had already beaten the game and thought there was nothing of feeling left in it! You are amazing!!!

Hey you did a good job disgusing it, I didn't recongise it was Samus in her ship until I read the description, and I'm a huge fan of Metroid! I agree, you did an awesome job with the planet, and the control panel I think is very creative. I also hate time limits on art, but at least it prepares you for the real world, where if you're late on an important piece, it could cost you!

Once again, very cool

Well then HA! Lol, I win I'm only kidding though. I'm glad I did a good job of hiding it.

And that is one reason why I'll never make my work my job. I want to take my time on it, not be rushed and have a deadline..

Thank you for your comment!

Yeah I know what you mean! That's why I'm going to be a graphic artist, it's along the same lines so I can be creative, but it's not exactly drawing so I could do that with my free time and not have to worry about getting it done on a certain date. (Wow that was a long sentence )

Well do keep in mind that while it my stylisticly be "bad" for you, it still is a great piece of work by any other means. The planet (Zebes I'm assuming... or is that Tallon IV?) looks very realistic, and Samus looks great too... The chair does seen 'thrown in' But it works, she has to sit somewhere right?

Lady-Owl In reply to Frastus [2005-09-14 22:39:53 +0000 UTC]

Tallon IV silly, remember this is Metroid Prime and yes, she does have to sit. It was better then the space behind her. Also, it isn't "bad" just not my most recent stuff so you can see slight improvements.

Frastus In reply to Lady-Owl [2005-09-14 22:53:42 +0000 UTC]

Well I think sometimes the older pictures are the best, though I think the title should be less intense... I think Samus would be more like "And now the hunt begins" or something... =/

Aww, thank you You're the only one who faved this! :: I greatly appreciate it and I'm so happy you like it... perhaps my.. "bad" title scared people away. I thought the title was kinda funny.

I'm blown away by the coloring. Looks like there were different mediums employed here, though. Paint and Prismas?

And forgive my impertinence, but the face and hairsyle look hot.
