Description
So, last art I shared with you guys were of my personal mains in Smash. This time around, I was commissioned by Reddit user SongofStorms 11 to work up his leading ladies in their respective colors he plays as.This was what he had me go off of:
”My mains are Palutena and Zero Suit Samus. Id want them in some sort of action pose, maybe fighting together?
Palutena probably looks at a fight sort of like “hmmph alright. I guess this could be worth my time”. Like she has fun, but she’s a goddess so she’s got high standards for herself, ya know? Maybe a tad more serious than happy, but enjoying nonetheless.
Oh, and ZSS’s personality is probably a lot more serious than Palutena’s. Palutena’s a goddess looking for fun, Samus is a battle-hardened fighter looking to win.
I think of the two fighting together as a sort of beat-em-up duo towards the end of a movie, where they dispatch the baddies with ease. Fighting back to back, serious about the fight but confident that they’ll win. As if they already know theyre gonna win, but nonetheless serious about it.”
I kinda saw these two as buddy cops in their own adventure haha. Maybe they're fighting in Cruel Smash?!
Anyway, those were fun details to work off of! Samus was given the no nonsense attitude and Palutena is ready to face off looking gallant and poised! As for the composition, having the back to back meant I could go for a strong horizontal piece. I decided to have Palutena’s staff horizontal to match ZSS’s weapon placement. An extended arm from Palutena balances an extended leg from ZSS. The orange of ZSS’s Suit sits nicely with the warm colors of Palutena’s Viridi inspired dress so the colors all blended nicely.
I had fun with this piece, although I must say Palutena was quite a chore to work with. She looks nice now, but to get the details right…Man, never again!!!

Wow it's hard to believe it's been over 2 years now. This game has had quite the journey and it isn't over yet.

Just got the game for 3DS Friday and played my heart out as ZS Samus, then I tried Palutena for some kicks and wound out really enjoying her, Now they're my top 2 fighters.
My full list of fighters I use are:
ZS Samus, Palutena, Peach, Zelda, Robin, Lucina, Marth, Link, Falco, Pit & Dark Pit.
---you can tell from that what Kind of fighter I prefer: quick and nimble but still able to hit hard, Sometimes I use Ike as well, but I literally suck as him.
For me, ZS Samus is still my best character but you should've seen my brawl days: Start as ZS, final into POwer Samus, Zlaser back, I was killer, and her fluidity of form and moveset changes made the cake. 3DS/WiiU ZS Samus is slightly different, but not overly so, My biggest adjustment was her flip-jump's kick in Brawl could hit either direction, but in 3DS/WiiU it can only hit inside the Arc of her jump.
Also for me, Palutena is much easier to control than ZS Samus but I had to customize her specials as her default neutral, down and up specials weren't to my liking. Palutena is also easier for me to control when it comes to recovery moves, far less Self-Destructs.
Of course Major thing to note is I only recently got interested in Kid Icarus so...I don't know a thing about Pit, Palutena and Dark Pit past their smash entries, and I'm not a Star Fox fan, but I enjoy the Smash versions of them.
---Past those four, all of the character I use are from games I'm into.

Samus looks ready to take someone down. l love how athletic she looks.

Glad you noticed! I wanted to amp up her physical nature and show how toned/ripped she was under the usual suit.

Samus probably needs a new employer and friends. Wouldn't Paulutina be considered the chief due to being a goddess if they do buddy cop scene?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehh, it was Samus' choice to team up. I think she wants to unwind a little in the world of Smash
Yeah, it's possible Palutena is the chief, but it'd be funny to see a laid back top cop while the officer is the one doing the heavy lifting!

I like how this version of Samus has seen a resurgence in popularity. It used to be that you had to do some serious digging to find her in anything but the Zero Suit. This and the Metroid Fusion ending art were excellent, but then Brawl came along and everyone forgot. I also like the Justin Bailey outfit with the Arm Cannon attached.

I drew this version as it was requested, but it's a cool costume. It's definitely gotten popular for...reasons after being reintroduced in the newest Smash game. I wish they put in the Justin Bailey color set up in the game but I guess not this time around!

I have heard or read by lot of artist how Palutena is a pain to draw because all of those charms and details her dress has, so I appreciate detailed art like this one, she is my fav female character of all time, appearing in smash is the best that could have happened to her, since she gets more attention now, by the way the remix of Destroyed Skyworld for the WiiU version is just gorgeous

Haha yeah, I can only imagine! The charms, details of the dress before wrinkles and even her stockings all have a lot to look out for. Glad you like the character and glad you like the world.
I haven't seen the remix of Skyworld for Wii U yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

Those are nice choices, and I like the way they look!

Yeah, I think it's a fun way to get creative with characters you get so attached to. With my mains, they were more cartoony and lent themselves to a more fun illustration and now when I play the game, I think about the piece and the fake relations they have haha

Reminds me of my Gold Pit and dark blue Palutena, which coincidentally the 2 characters themselves are one of my shippings. Sometimes it is nice to think about fun things your mains can do together, and fighting side by side is one of the great things, like partners.

Yep, just one more added layer of personality to characters we play a lot.

This is a neat good fan art. Good work.
