My Meta-Ridley submission for #metroid-club [link]

I wanted to avoid making Ridley look too much like a Pteranodon or too cartoony. Sticking with dinosaurs, I took elements from raptors and incorporated it in the overall design. Wanted to use my darker styling to make Ridley more of an 'apex predator' and a fitting enemy of Samus.

Meta Ridley was modeled, textured and effects created using Autodesk MAYA rendered using Mental Ray with post editing in Photoshop.

Original Size is 4800X1500@320dpi
