Here's a Samus I've been noodling since Metroid Prime 3 came out. Last night I found the drawing, erased most of it, and slopped in a bunch of hacky repairs. Originally I'd hoped to make a clean illustration out of this, but recently found that its more effective for me to just rough it all in, communicate what's in my head, and move on. I do know the chozo suit pretty well, being a 2D Metroid nut, but didn't bother to make it exactly the same. Really, I just wanted to get an idea of the feisty blonde bombshell hiding in that suit, and get her blood boiling a bit, since I feel that she's lacking some personality lately. In the good old days of Super Metroid or NES, if she got out of the suit it was time for black bikinis, or sexy death. Now she just skips around with her whip and blue body suit. I want my "Ripley" inspired Samus back...Ripley taught us that when a job goes bad, strip down and open the airlock. And, scream at the monster... it helps.
