How can you not like Super Metroid? It's the best designed game ever created!
Haha, I always did feel a little sorry for Crocomire, but that's only because he looks so dopey. Otherwise, he's one damn tough boss! It probably doesn't attack at first because it assumes no other organism really poses a threat- it's the only boss in the entire game that's impervious to normal damage after all.

I liked super metroid(use to)but knowing this guy made me sad and I didn't like it as much anymore
It's just very sad. Worst part was Samus didn't feel bad. It was so depressing to me. But the best of super metroid I like. Especially the baby

Samus committing genocide on a global scale is the cornerstone of the entire series' story, haha. The Metroids aren't capable of intergalactic travel, so why was she sent to their home planet to eradicate their entire species? Crocomire is far from the only thing she's killed without remorse, all other things she's killed also acted out of their natural instinct for survival and self defense.
I think that moral ambiguity is what makes the Metroid series so much more interesting than Nintendo's other properties. Samus isn't exactly what I'd call a 'likable' character, but that's what I like about her, haha, if that makes any sense.

In a video game, and it pushed my character alignment closer to evil then yes. Now in real life no, no i would not.

It's lava! no acid, (I made time to understand it....)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You sure about that? Looked more like acid to me when I played it, but meh whatever.

Yess it look more acid than lava! but go in it, it's lava!

I honestly thought it had more of a yellow tint then an orange tint. That's what made me think it was acid. Though it look more like he was melting not burning. Oh well

Well, it's in Norfair... Acid is in Brinstar.

A year late, but thanks for the info.
my Metroid knowledge is rather limited to be honest. Zelda and Splatterhouse are more my interests.

Yeah, sure gave you a feeling of satisfaction!

Hey nice work! I see it says it's digital but it really looks like traditional work, nicely done!
Also you really captured the scene well. Crocomire's one of my favorite bosses. I also did a drawing of that battle. You'd honor me by checking it out if you like. [link]
Again, nice work. I love the dynamic lighting.

I always prefer to do most of my work traditionally, so I most always lay digital colors over my traditional pencil drawings, which is probably why it goes off that slightly traditional vibe.
Yeah, I did see that one, it's been in my favorites!
Thanks gain, I really appreciate it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh haha, I was thinking it'd be embarrassing if you've already seen it. And that makes sense, I've been admiring the pencil texturing you did. But it's your digital coloring that has me looking twice. Really subtle color work, it's really very impressive how it doesn't contrast harshly with the pencil. And you're welcome, good luck in the contest. I went ahead and entered my own Queen Metroid piece.

Haha, no need to be embarrassed!
Well, thanks again, I love getting more well thought out comments like these!
Good luck to you too!
