Artist's Comments

I was watching the trailer for Smash Bros Brawl the other day, and this silly scene came to mind. Because at some level, we've all wanted a floating, soul-sucking jellyfish for a pet. I was about due for my annual Metroid fanart, and it's been ages since I uploaded anything so here you go.

Comments welcome, please pick this apart. I would like to hear any ideas people might have on the background in particular, I'm just stuck on it. Enviroments are the bane of my existence, everything would just be much simpler if we all lived in a monochromatic void. Incidentally, you're all free to smack me upside my fool ass head if I attempt to paint something translucent ever again.

Colored in OC3, with color tweaks in photoshop, worked on it on and off for a couple of days. I've uploaded a bigger version to my scraps, if anyone wants a closer look: [link]

I still think "assamatter" is cooler.

It's been far too long since I've seen some new art from you, man.
Very well done, I must say. Instantly fav'd. :)
Justin? Jus' to let ya know again, man... I love you. :heart: I love you from the bottom of my squishy little Samus-fanboy heart!

...yeppers.
And I love you too, dearest.
I really like it^_^ The idea of her having a pet metroid isn't too far out-of-character for her either, considering at the begining of Super Metroid, it explain that Samus's maternal instinct kicked in when she found a lone, surviving infant Metroid.
Don't worry about the transluscent thing- you did just fine. In fact, I think that's one of the best-drawn Metroids I've ever seen.
As for the background, I can't be too helpful^^;' Perhaps a cave on planet Zebes? Dunno.

Very nice work as allways! You can never do enough art-stuff. NEVAR!

Hmm. Samus looks a little too curvy...but that's a statement, not a complaint. I like curvy on women, particularly tall ones who aren't afraid to kick butt and take names.

So yeah, nothing terrible for me to say. Carry on.

Haha! That's funny! It's kinda hard to imagine Samus talking XD
everything on this is great, except for the face- I don't know why, but something just seems a little off in the eyes and mouth. It's almost just right, but not quite. Everything is essentially great though, and it's grand to see you posting art again!

Whatever you do, do NOT look in my gallery. :boo:

This is a SUPERB job, Mead. Seriously. =D
