Hehe, after my toonboom harmony compositing course, this is looking so much cooler >:3!!
They told me that Samus' gunship looks a bit wonky but honestly I'm too lazy to fix it xD
Back in 2021 I first played metroid zero mission and fell in loooove! It wasn't my first metroid, I played prime first and then Samus Returns and loved all of them, but I really wanted to draw Samus from Zero Mission anyways.
Also, I have this strong opinion about Samus and how she should be super stronk xD here I didn't even make her muscular enough, but she should have huuge muscles!!! So I'll surely try to draw her like this sometime xD
Feeling inspired by Metroid since I've discovered it recently.
I tend to go for a middle ground between the two. Someone with scars from injuries that no human being should be able to survive, but also let her care about eyeshadow and lipgloss because it’s just a fun thing she can do to express herself in a busy life of hunting down criminals and super predators. Give her absolutely chiseled abs and towering height, yes, but let her smile with the people and little critters she’s saved along the way. I’m not saying you can’t have your buff, grizzled veteran of many battles with the scars to prove it, but she’s still human, she still needs to live a little. But yes, give her a massive co-
People who draw Samus Aran as a 5 foot nothing girl with an hourglass figure, flawlessly smooth skin, perfectly applied makeup, absolutely no musculature, and a bubbleheaded smile are cowards. That woman has been put through the ringer and should look like it. Give her towering height. Give her absolutely chiseled abs. Give her terrifying scars snaking across her skin. Give her weird feathers and scales covering her body. Give her a scowl that could shatter glass. Give her a massive co-
That… makes an immense amount of sense. Don’t get me wrong, I’m team trans Samus myself (and trans myself), but that little detail does add a not insignificant amount of character and respectability to Adam. I actually showed some Other M stuff to my friends and we all laughed at how bad it is and made some points how things could be improved but this even makes Fusion and Dread better for it.
adam malkovich referring to samus as "lady" as a sign of respect always reads as a touch condescending and belittling until you look at young adult samus and realise she was a 6-months hrt effeminate twink just growing out her crew cut and its highly likely the rest of the force kept misgendering her. for their commander to respect her identity and refer to her as a woman would be a huge acknowledgement of her agency and personhood beyond her martial prowess, and for a girl who has only known war and was raised to be a weapon i would blow up a couple space stations with that guy too
I would love it if Samus got into Mario Kart and if she did, this would be my concept for her motorcycle
