The final 1-bit Metroid of 2021 was the Omega Metroid from the 3DS remake. I liked the original too, but preferred the 3DS version.
I am happy with the sprite, but the animation needs some love given what I've learned since 2021.

These are some of my oldest explorations of 1-bit pixel art/animation that I made in 2022. Of course, they had to be Metroids.
I'm sharing the baby and larval forms today, though I did do most of the others. I'll share those soon.
The penultimate 1-bit Metroid of 2021 I have to share is the Zeta Metroid from the 3DS remake (I preferred the Alien style of the remake more).
I would like to revisit this one though as there's a lot I would do differently now.
I thought I'd share my 2021 animated 1-bit Alpha Metroid today. Unlike some of my other metroid designs, the Alpha did actually get a slight update when I made a Samus Returns piece, so I've included the latest version here too.
This is the 1-bit Gamma Metroid I made in 2021, which also included an attack animation (though that is more reminiscent of the 3DS remake).
It's interesting looking back like this as you can see how you've developed artistically.
