Description
For ~Zimeta 's Metroid collab forI was chosen to represent Metroid 2: The Return of Samus. I started painting in full color, but then decided to experiment on limiting the palette to that of the first Gameboy, hence the greenish-off-white and black.

Oh me too. I'll always like Samus' design, but it does sadden me to see her design getting more and more streamlined.

Yeah, I don't like a lot of the new designs.

Tell me about it.
Unlike just about every other Metroid fan, I could not get into the Prime series, at all. People will often say that the gameplay is obviously different, but it still has that Metroid atmosphere. In my opinion, i does have atmosphere, just not the same kind of atmosphere, and it disappoints me.

There was definitely something lost from the first three games that didn't make the leap to 3D and the newer 2D versions.
As a game developer hobbyist, I have been working on a game design document for a "super metroid rip-off" for years. The only reason I haven't started to build it is because I lack the audio talent that would make or break such a game.

Oh I know. Something about 2D game have more "magic" to them for whatever reason. Isn't it a sad state of things when you say that its easier to become immersed in a 2d game than a 3d one?

It's because in a 3D game, the camera can't focus the player were to look as much as a 2D game. Games with fixed camera angles always have an advantage at conveying a mood. In a 3D FPS, the player will run through a level leaving most of the art in the peripheral.

I know. It's also so sad to know how much work goes into creating a 3d game, and yet hard it is to really appreciate it.

Love everything of it and the palette resembling Game Boy graphics in particular.

Thanks! It's funny, I started to color if with a full palette, but it was looking really muddy for whatever reason, must've been in a coloring slump. But that idea hit me, and I like how it came out!

Would it be alright if I used this as the background for a Tunnel theme remix on my alternate YouTube account's (s0c01da116utz31dav1d) upcoming video, So Cold 10 Metroid Remixes Video II? I'll credit you for it, and, if you want, I'll post a link on the video to this picture. I will also post a link here to the video once I've finished it.

I just love the light and atmosphere in this. I could just stare at it all day. It sort of makes me want to print it up and put it on a wall! I think you should try a narrow color palette like this more often.

Thanks cuz, maybe I should!

I keep coming back to stare at this picture. I may seriously request a print of it one of these days!

Holy crap. It feels like I'm looking at the actual game. You hit that eerie Metroid 2 feel so well... so much nostalgia right now...

Cool, glad I achieved that! It is, for whatever reason, such a hard atmosphere to replicate.
