Description Well, another try at something different for me. Drawing armors and mechanical looking stuff is hard for Dan >>

anyway, on the top half we have the Corruption Hunters, on the lower half the Alimbic Hunters.

L to R
Samus, Gandrayda, Ghor
Prime, Rhundas
Sylux, Weavel, Kanden
Noxus, Spire, Trace.

These are the guys I'm thinking of putting in a Halo Metroid crossover, but I think having the 10 (sans Dark Samus) could be a bit overkill in the Haloverse XD;;;;

Samus: Deadliest woman in the known galaxy. A career way too long to describe. Suffice to know, planets tend to explode when she's in the neighborhood.
Gandrayda: A shapeshifter, psychological studies say she is a teenager. A very dangerous one. She likes Sammy X3
Ghor: Veteran of the wars in Wotan VI. Only 6% of his birth body remain, the rest is state of the art cybernetics. Rides a huge armor suit, by far the biggest among the hunters, but he prefers to deal with computers and AI's.
Prime: aka Metroid Prime, aka Dark Samus, aka Goddess. Think of Samus, but overpowered, waaaaaayyy overpowered.
Rhundas: Think of the Predators; likes hunting, keeps trophies of his bounties, and is twice as big than most of the other hunters.
Sylux: Human... probably. Stole a prototype the GF was developing trying to imitate Samus armor. Stone cold killer. Likes to tear GF troopers apart with his own hands.
Weavel: A Space pirate general who fought Samus. Samus left only most of his brain and a chunk of spinal cord intact. Reconstructed, he's a badass. I mean, he has a mini nuclear reactor for weapon.
Kanden: The perfect soldier. Powerful, intelligent, and totally unpredictable. Oh yeah, and insane. Yep, insane.
Noxus: A monk who believes in justice and good... yeh, he's the odd one in this group.
Spire: A silicon based creature. Dunno what to say about him, other than he can swim through lava.
Trace: a teenager Kriken, an insect like horde. Primitive traditions, but advanced enough to give him equipment that turns him invisible, and an energy based sniper riffle and a galactic travel ship.

I took some liberties with some of them, like Gandrayda (gave her an outfit like those of the GF), Samus (Helmetless, of course) and Prime (similar to sammy, but with the corruption scars you see later in the game). The rest... well, I have only a few references of each of these guys, and I couldn't put on Corruption to check the logbooks.

yeh, so that's all. I think it was good for a single day's work X3 I still suck at drawing armors and cybernetic looking stuff, but it's a start

For the Halo fans, if I ever start that crossover project, think I should use as many spartans as possible, or only the ones alive after Onyx?

XXXSandmanXXXX [2011-03-03 22:20:26 +0000 UTC]

Im a big fan of both Halo and Metroid. I love how you drew these guys!

For the Halo crossover it would be cool to see Noble Team, the Chief, Sgt Johnson, the Arbiter, and Halfjaw.

In my opinion, It would be pretty cool to see these match ups: Jorge vs Spire (big guy vs big guy), Jun vs Trace (sniper vs sniper), Noble 6 vs Weavel, Carter vs Sylux, Emile vs Kanden, Kat vs Noxus, Halfjaw vs Ghor, Arbiter vs Rundas, Johnson vs Gandrayda, and of course Master Chief vs Samus.

Have you read the Metroid Prime Hunters doujinshi on Metroid-Database?

If don't, here's the link!-->[link]

The only two Hunters that appear is Sylux and Weavel (oh! and Weavel is depicted as a human girl and calls Samus "Big Sis").

I love the amount of detail you put into each character. I can just feel and see what the hunters are like through this pic. I've played almost all of the Metroid games, and I know what Gandrayda is like. You captured her personality and all the others, too. I like that you made Gandrayda look cute, while Samus looks thoughtful, and Dark Samus just looks, well, dark. And arrogant. You're pretty good at this.

Brilliant!! love the detail of all the characters ( Can dark Samus take off her 'helmet'?) Really nice!

Sol-Zephyr [2010-04-29 10:59:39 +0000 UTC]

Really nice sketches!
Although I'd believe Dark Samus would look something like Prime Core, like in the end of Metroid Prime 2.
If that's even a removable helmet, I think it's more like an outer shell.

Doragon-Shinzui [2010-04-28 21:29:32 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty badass...
You know what would be cool? A MP:H hack where Ghor, Rundas, and Gandrayda were included, and maybe even "Prime" as you put it.
Hmm... How would that work...

thats a sweet job, really like dark samus.
havent played prime 2 or 3, does dark samus ever remove her helmet?

Draconic1 [2008-10-16 01:41:33 +0000 UTC]

Double Sweet!!! (Picture & description)
*Favourites*

Although Dark Samus/Metroid Prime are not as powerful as you seem to think. She can do a bunch of magic tricks but she can't even use a charge beam. The lack of the helmet was a nice touch. Where did you get the idea for her face?

MetroidDatabase In reply to dan-heron [2010-04-29 06:57:21 +0000 UTC]

You know, I really don't think Koopaul was trying to be malicious in his statements, nor argumentative. He was just stating what he knew to be true and was trying to inform you of that. And I agree with him.

I do like your interpretations, but what he said stands true: Dark Samus can't "remove" her "helmet," because it's an actual part of her body. So underneath of it she doesn't look human at all. If anything, her "face" would look similar to this: [link]

uh, since it's been a LONG time ago, I'm hiding this thread of comments. Can't really remember what happened, but if it's an argument, then there's no point on continuing after so long

There's no point in restarting something that I can't even remember to begin with. Hope you don't mind if I don't get confrontational with you

I'd say just the one's left from Onyx: I'm gonna miss Will, but maybe like they found a way out of Onyx?

You made Ghor look AWESOME.

Perhaps leave out Weavel, Noxus, and Spire?

I simply love what you did with everyone here, especially with Gandrayda and Prime. I'd like to see solo pics for each one.

For those who are complaining that they look nothing like they do in-game, I'll have them know that the whole point of "fan art" is not just to copy the characters, but to make them unique in one's own way.

FAVE'D!

Ghost-Who-Walks [2008-05-30 03:48:50 +0000 UTC]

Damn, you sure as hell know your stuff. They look accurate to how they appear in the games, yet still have that aspect of your own style in their appearances.

Suffice it to say, if I ever decide to try and turn MetroidxHalo into a comic series, I'll know who to call.

dan-heron In reply to Ghost-Who-Walks [2008-05-30 17:28:56 +0000 UTC]

yeh, it's hard to move something from 3d into paper. Glad I kept from butchering them up XD

That'd be an interesting idea X3

Ghost-Who-Walks In reply to dan-heron [2008-05-30 17:58:36 +0000 UTC]

Hell, it's the complete opposite of butchering, it's like you yanked them right off the screen...

Noxshade [2008-05-08 10:16:53 +0000 UTC]

Well, being the DnD and Metroid freak I am I just want to say that Noxus is more Lawful Neutral than Lawful Good. And the Vohzen sense of justice is rather skewed.
