Dread.
(E.M.M.I. from Metroid Dread)
(I tried drawing digitally again.)
If I’m going to redraw the NES version of Samus, then it feels wrong not to redraw the Metroid too.
I always preferred the incarnation in which the Metroid's had more substantial claws. I also tried to go for a swooping pose for added dynamism.
After doing the NES Peach sprite redesign yesterday, I had to do one for Samus too (I mean- how could I not ).
I’ve included an alternate design that swaps the green out for grey, for some visual interest and improved clarity.
Inspired by BJG’s Mario sprite colour study, I thought I’d try something similar with Metroids.
I chose the Alpha, as I find it more interesting, and I’m happy with how the exercise went, though you might find some of my colour choices interesting.
Ngl I think a Metroid movie would be pretty awesome... done right of course. #GJAsks
