Description Prismacolor/Neopiko/acrylic.
Characters (C) Other People, Art (C) me, do not alter or distribute.

This began as an attempt to reprise my previous humaRidley. I got curious about how the other three key bosses might turn out, so I tried them. I'll explain a bit for those of you unfamiliar with the game, or those of you who haven't played in a while.

KRAID-the big fat guy. In the game, he's a huge lizard that takes up several screens. He has three navels, and they all shoot spiked green things at you. Belly button lint of DOOM. Unintentionally hilarious for me. Nikki's take upon seeing this humaKraid was "He looks about ready to go rob a convenience store!"

RIDLEY-the wing-dude. He's basically a fancy pterosaur, but I prefer the whole 'space dragon' thing. He's the badass of the game, really, and he's definitely the leader, at least, when Mother Brain's not paying attention. I accidentally made his uncolored version look almost EXACTLY like one of my Megaman X fan characters...whose last name is Norfair, which is probably why it happened. (Norfair is where Ridley lives, you see.) Apologies for that.

PHANTOON-the little guy. He's a powerful ghost comprised of shipwrecked souls...I'd assume some space pirate victims found their way in there too. He looks like a balloon with one big eyeball and two tentacles. Here, however, for some weird reason, he ended up as a kid. Considering how many different souls are likely involved with Phantoon, I guess he can look like any one of them whenever he pleases. I REALLY wanted to give that kid tentacles coming out of his shoulderblades, but the picture was busy enough. I say he still has 'em, they just retract. Or something.

DRAYGON-the last one. Looks like a gynormous mutant shrimp. In the game, he has a big belly that's his weak spot, but I already had a fat guy, so I had to think of something else. A friend suggested he fill the 'nerd' niche. You know what? He's right! Draygon's battle room is the only one that fights back, and his arena's full of junk. He's a nerd! He also gave me the most trouble, as you can see by the ink mistakes and very static pose that I was forced to use.

So as I drew this, the position of Ridley's tail and Phantoon's arm just kinna...happened. I held it out to look at it and went "AAAH!! I JUST ACCIDENTALLY MADE SUPER METROID SHOTACON SLASH! How the HELL did that happen?!" So yeah. No intention there, totally innocent, I assure you, but eh. Take it as you will I guess, you freak you. X3

...yeah.

Now I have a powerful urge to experiment with some sort of weird alt universe Super Metroid RP with these guys.

I need professional help or something.

[I think Phantoon is Crocomire's best buddy, almost like a brother. And I support the theory that Crocomire is Ridley's little brother, so maybe Phantoon sees Ridley as a brother, too. There you go, I helped fix the mistake by making it a family thing! Also, isn't Draygon's belly yellow? Why's he wearing a purple shirt? No offense, just wondering.]

Make "Baby" and "Mother Brain"'s dinosaur, then have a retelling of the story of Super Metroid via a comic, I think that would be quite great

Omnicenos In reply to randomdude59 [2011-11-25 21:14:21 +0000 UTC]

I hate that game for what it did to Samus (making her look like an idiot and a weakling). I'm also generally just not a fan of the 3D games, preferring to stick to older and DS releases when it comes to Metroid. So...no. Feel free to have a crack at it yourself, though.

randomdude59 In reply to Omnicenos [2011-11-28 20:53:19 +0000 UTC]

Hey, first of all if anything they made Samus stronger in that game and she fufilled the original duty that the Chozo had planned for the Metroid (destroing the Virus-X(as seen in the manga)). Two, I agree and disagree with you about the 3D games Though most 3D Metroid games have a good plot to them I find their controls dificult to grasp, but you gotta admit, Metroid 1 and 2 really suck. And finally, all I really wanted you to do was a humanized version of Nightmare but if you really don't want to do it then I will try to do it myself.

Fair enough.

It would add variety and spice to have a vicious chick in the gang.

Omnicenos In reply to Aqua311 [2011-07-26 04:05:05 +0000 UTC]

Undeniable. I like to think Samus more than fulfills the role, though. But it really does depend on personal tastes.

Aqua311 In reply to Omnicenos [2011-07-26 13:40:14 +0000 UTC]

No, Samus is the lone wolf with a grudge against this gang. Particularly with its leader, Ridley.

Let's not forget the one who's paying them. The brain behind the group...

Omnicenos In reply to Aqua311 [2011-07-26 13:49:25 +0000 UTC]

I meant in the overall story, not this specific set.

Considered doing Mother Brain, too, but the idea was really too hideous for me to pull off. x.x

Aqua311 In reply to Omnicenos [2011-07-26 13:55:21 +0000 UTC]

I understand.

For the life of me, I could not figure out who the little kid was until you said it was Phantoon in the comments. It might make it easier if the kid had an eye patch or something. So he would have only one eye...

On the Metroid Database website, they translated the Other M art galleries and it turns out, the Wrecked Ship was actually the ship the Chozo came to Zebes on. That explains why there were statues inside the ship.

Phantoon might have been a stowaway... and the reason it's wrecked.

Omnicenos In reply to Aqua311 [2011-07-26 14:05:42 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps it would, but I've been role playing this Phantoon for three years now, so his design is pretty set...and I also can't seem to disassociate eyepatches with parrot-toting, bearded men in cheesy costumes. Not...quite the "pirates" I had in mind. xD
