I love Justin Bailey-style Samus a lot. Actually, you did another Justin Bailey pic a couple years ago with short hair, and that was one of my favorite Samus pics ever. So I'm super excited to see you draw her in this costume. : )
I love this pic! I love the lighting and how it does such a great job of building up the 3d shapes of her figure. The way the light goes from the really bright hotspots through a couple darker levels of light before it hits the shadows sells the shapes of her legs, her arms, her calves. Like, I really notice how the volume of her figure seems very lifelike. And I love how there's this glow, this diffusion of light in the highlights that makes them seem more complex, too.
The boots and the calves really seem to be done well to me. The shapes of her boots, how calves curve out then back in until the heels curve back out. The perspective on the front of her feet from this back angle -- I dunno, maybe a weird thing to focus in on, but the shapes and perspective seem really lifelike there. I think it's strong on her upper body, too -- you found just the right angle to sell that pose.
LOVE her hair. Wow! I feel like I've been saying this on a lot of your art lately, but I think you've leveled up on how you draw hair. Again, the shadows and highlights add even more life to the shape of the hair -- they paint this sense of flow in how her ponytail swings around, how her bangs shoot out and flow back around her face. It's fantastic! And the colors, the lights and darks, are pretty dramatic and really make things pop.
I love her expressionΒ -- the kinda somber look on her face. It feels like an "Alas, poor Yorick" kinda scene, the way she "holds" the little Metroid and looks at it with that thoughtful expression.
A few little nitpicks I notice...I feel like her arms are a teeny bit awkward. Are they a bit too short? Are they held at a bit of an odd angle? I'm not sure, but something about them seems a little less natural than the rest of her pose. On the other hand I love the highlights and coloring on her arms, and I love how you drew her arm cannon. The colors and lighting on the arm cannon is just as strong as on everything else, but it feels very distinct -- whereas everything else has a soft, lifelike, organic feel, the lighting on the cannon give it a very clearly metallic, rigid feel. Looks fantastic.
Man, I am so excited that you drew this. I love it! I love the colors, the lighting, the mood and expression, the lifelike feel and perspective of that pose. Amazing job! : )

Thanks! The other Justin Bailey Samus is actually my most favorited item on DA. I don't get it, but hey, I guess people love Samus? I only managed to get this pose right by the power of Manga Studio. It has 3D figures on there you can move around so I found one that worked for what I was going for, tweaked, and voila.
I think her arm that has the cannon is too short so that could be where the awkwardness is coming from. I think I kinda screwed up the cannon in general with how it's supposed to be facing but a;fkdssfdkj.

Oh, interesting! I've heard about MS having libraries of 3D models, but I mostly hear of people using the ones for perspective or background elements. It's cool that it has figure models, too, you can pose out and draw from.
You're welcome! And you're short-circuit at the end there makes me laugh a bit because I know that feeling lol. : )
