Description Kraid vs Samus from metroid series.
I was planning to make a drawing of super metroid's battle but I couldn't come up with a good composition so I decided to recreate the battle, when you encounter kraid at super metroid he only shows a small portion of it's body and later it raises, well I decided to recreate the first stage, Samus is in a place with many platforms, then the room starts to fill with lava then kraid comes out and starts attacking samus and destroys the platforms to make samus fall into the lava, Samus must run as Kraid destroys the platforms and shoot him to slow him down a bit, kinda like the Helmarock battle from wind waker.

So that's it hope you like it, drawing lava was a little harder than I expected.

Holy moly, this is intense looking, both from a scenario standpoint, and a making-the-art-piece standpoint. 

And goodness, did it pay off. The lava and fire are gorgeous!

Lava wasn't easy to make, thanks a lot pal, would be interesting to see something like this for prime 4

ToasterStrooder In reply to kritken [2018-07-03 05:37:40 +0000 UTC]

Well, the work that you had to do for the lava certainly shows!

You're welcome! 

Yeah, this would be interesting in the fourth Prime game. Dynamic set pieces like this aren't super common in the Prime series to my knowledge.

Man, if Kraid was 318-meters tall and weighing at 200,000 metric tons, he would be a giant indestructible destruction machine.

True. And I think you mean "he" right? Kraid has a mind and a gender of his own.

NacktheWeasel14 [2017-09-10 10:08:22 +0000 UTC]

So Kraid from Metroid 1 was TINY. Then you fight Minikraid, and come in here. Then Kraid comes up. Land a few hits and then..



JESUS CHRIST IT'S HUGE

Thanks! I think we haven't seen a kraid return in 3D metroid because a they haven't come up with a good battle yet, but I think this may be the perfect come back, mixing the nintendoland, smash bros appearances on one

DalgaFR In reply to kritken [2017-08-18 09:22:45 +0000 UTC]

If you don't know, they planned a Kraid battle in Metorid Prime 1 replacing the Omega Pirate, they partly designed it (you can find it on the internet) but due to the lack of time they couldn't had it to the game.

PS : Your lava Kraid is awesome

kritken In reply to DalgaFR [2017-08-23 01:28:07 +0000 UTC]

perhaps they had trouble designing the model or the battle, but we'll see what happens on metroid prime 4

Evertide [2015-07-05 21:17:15 +0000 UTC]

Now...THIS...is more like what a battle with a monster the size of a building should be like.  When it's big and strong enough to change the landscape, and there's lava everywhere, it should be hard.  I would get so hyped if this was a real thing in a new game.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kritken In reply to Evertide [2015-07-07 02:04:52 +0000 UTC]

Yeah some of the inspiration came from smash bros melee kraid stage and other stuff
I can see samus running and jumping from platform to platform while kraid destroys them, and the lava rises.
Hope I can work at retro studios some day to come up with things like this.
It's hard to get hyped with what we got this year

Holy shit, that looks awesome. I've only noticed that Kraid has a slightly blurry shading, when I took a closer into the picture. But still, great picture overall.

kritken In reply to MotorRoach [2015-07-07 02:09:38 +0000 UTC]

I made kraid a little blurry to make the effect that it's a little far from samus, a little hard to explain
But thanks again pal
