Description For my own DeviantArt page, see: or follow me on Instagram which is much more frequently updated.

This used to be on my other DA, but it got taken down by the DA police... no idea why. It was also on there for about 3 years before it got taken down. I started drawing/editing these about 6-8 years ago, with updates along the way.

I KNOW I don't have the colors from Brawl, as well as Dark Samus 2, so don't bother pointing it out. I also don't have Other M's suits on there. Maybe that'll be for a future project.

Super Metroid's "Gravity Suit" as well as her Suitless ones are on there for completeness' sake, I don't claim that I drew them.

This image has reached far and wide, afaik. I think many people have been inspired more or less by it and have created their own custom versions. The sprites were also stolen by an issue of Brazilian Nintendo Power and published inside. Good thing we had a Brazilian forum member to point it out.

what do you use to create your sprites?

I have a feeling your "Dark Samus II" sprite will be better than mine, hahaha.

Unfortunately for me, this leaves me at fault. I should have known better; I neglected to ask you permission six years ago to use one of your edits as a basis for Dark Samus's appearance from Metroid Prime 3. I used your Light Suit edit to create this:

I made this because I was really impatient. I couldn't wait for you to make more, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. That said, how active are you these days?

Not really, as you can tell. I mostly make pixel paintings - pixelartpainting.com or PixelArtPaintings . I can't guarantee I'll ever make a DS2 sprite, but I might, someday! Nice job on yours.

Thanks. By the way, is alright for me then if I use the stuff you made here to create something else? I just wanted to let you know so that I can properly give you credit for your work, and I'd like to use your PED Suit sprite for something Metroid-related I'm currently making.

It's good to see you alive and well after all these years.

Erm, dude? The pic says that a person on the Internet named "Infinity's End" made those sprite edits AND ripped some of those sprites, correct?

Are you sure you drew and edited these sprites yourself? I'm just asking, that's all.

Too bad they're keyed to her DNA. Even if you did manage to Planeswalk to her plane and steal one you would be unable to activate the Power Suit mode.

Amazing work. Phazon and Gravity Suit are my favorite and without a suit I'd have to say that the bottom right one is also great.

I do believe Metroid Fusion's gravity suit is purple and blue, not purple and green. Nice job on all of them anyway!

Green. just looked it up. It could be easily confused for blue though.

Your only doing the outfits/suits from the games right? I'd love you to do Samus' white outfit seen in the manga as well as the Japanese Metroid Fusion Endings.

Wow, good call. I must have had an issue with the paint bucket because it used to be the right color. I also updated the colors used for her helmet. Thanks!

I think this is an awesome compilation!
Is there any way you can make them larger for better reference. Sprites about double or triple the size?
I like to draw Samus in her different armor gear, and its hard at times to find a decent quality reference.
Or have to scroll through dozens of google pics or my own files just to find say Gravity suit image.
Really enjoy the naki(?)suits, skin suits or whatever, I dont think Ive ever seen a lineup of them together!
