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.

Crocomire was not a big boss, he was a mini-boss, and so was Botwoon. I -have- actually drawn the latter as humanish, (not in this piece obviously) but I let a friend of mine try her hand at the former.

UsagiKnight [2010-07-04 22:58:30 +0000 UTC]

Surprisingly, I found my most favorite to be Phantoon and Draygon.

To me it makes sense that if you have such strong leaders like Kraid and Ridley that you would have some leaders that specialize in intellectual operations (restore and maintain the operations of the mother brain as well as head of the metroid larva experiments)

With Phantoon it is understandable that s/he would be used for recon, especially since normal living creatures can't fully comprehend the true form s/he may actually have. These secret operations, I'm sure, have also destroyed many civilizations through deception. And Phantoon is so adorable how can you not favor him/her .

Omnicenos In reply to UsagiKnight [2010-07-06 16:26:40 +0000 UTC]

I've always been fond of Phantoon, creepy though the thing may be. XD I have plans to make more art of these guys, if I can just squirm it in between my other art projects and real-life events.

UsagiKnight In reply to Omnicenos [2010-07-07 15:27:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure if you feel uninspired by anything you can always fall back on fan art to give a fresh perspective. Trust me, when I think nothing is turning out right looking at what has inspired me always seems to make my characters feel fresh and exciting again. Looking forward to what you do next

It would be amazing to see you remake the statue leading to Motherbrain with these guys. That will be difficult considering how well made the original was.

Omnicenos In reply to UsagiKnight [2010-07-11 02:23:17 +0000 UTC]

...and doubly difficult if they're humanized. D8 I think that's a job for a more experienced artist. (AWESOME though the idea is...)

UsagiKnight In reply to Omnicenos [2010-07-12 17:56:07 +0000 UTC]

Oh, well, I guess we all need to understand our limits to understand what we can do with art. Even a humanized MotherBrain would be hard to do (though its best to keep it in a jar.) Hope we can be friends.

Oh yeah. Something about Ridley is...charismatic. I Couldn't resist making him hot. COULD NOT RESIST.

I plan on making more stuff based off this idea. Just...got a lot of requests and backlogs to do first. @_@
