I felt like drawing some Metroid fanart between other projects. And I wanted to draw Samus Aran in her armor (although I took a few liberties with the suit design), to help counterbalance all the other art with her wearing that ridiculous "zero suit" or some other revealing outfit. Which... that's fine and all (who doesn't like a little cheesecake now and then?), but not every single female character in video games has to be reduced down to how good they look in skimpy clothing. Samus is a badass. She's one of the few female characters out there who gets to wear armor that has a purpose aside from showing off her figure. Let her have her big awesome armor. ;)

Samus Aran by *jdillon82

The suggester said: "The reason I like this piece of art so much is because the concept is very simple, but it's just done so wonderfully - the lighting, shading, and all the little details. " ( Suggested by ~princessmidna8765 and Featured by `WildCharmander )

This is incredible. I'm glad you pointed out that Samus is not all "zero suit." Personally, she's one of my two favorite Nintendo characters. Most people make Samus look like a toy with the "zero suit." It's good that you pointed out the things that needed to be recognized. I like the way you made the lighting and the glow from the power suit's gun. It gives the picture an "in the heat of action" feel to it. Excellent job!

Keep up the good work! :>
