BlushMallet - Animated Harem Samus Aran
🕑 Added 2020-07-27 18:13:21 +0000 UTC This is, what may be, the last in the “Animated Harem” series that I had commissioned of @blushmallet. This time, I picked another video game character that I had quite a lot of fond memories of growing up with the original Nintendo system. I remember how shocked and horrified a lot of guys were at the fact that Samus was a woman but it didn’t seem to bother me that much.
For this one, I had asked @blushmallet to draw Samus in a pose and expression that was both “Strong and sexy”. And when this came back I was instantly hooked on it. But, like the others, the big challenge was coming up with a background. I had two ideas in mind. The first came to me when I thought back to the original Metroid and how the final part of the game involves defeating the Mother Brain in its giant glass container.
With that in mind, I had the notion of making the background look like Samus was standing in the defeated Mother Brain’s glass container, victorious that she beat it.
Of course, the other idea I had in mind for a background comes from a piece of box art for “Metroid 2″ where Samus is kneeling on an alien world, brown sandy rocky terrain around her and a starry sky above her. I thought of using that but with the encouragement of my girlfriend, she said “go with what you think is the most awesome”. And so I went with the mother brain glass container.
So, after coloring Samus, I painted out the metal plate she’d be standing on along with the shattered glass behind her that she shot in with her missiles. And I had to throw in the “energy rings” that we’ve all had to dodge during our fight with this big bad boss. And all of that was against a black background. Seeing the black background I wasn’t all that satisfied with it, so I went with something a little new. I combined both ideas of the sandy alien world background and the mother brain container. Thus the reason why you see it like this.
So, in the end, when it’s finished, I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I especially like Samus’s expression. Her face seems to say, “Yes, I’m a woman under this armor. Yes, I’m sexy. But I can still kick your ass and feed you your bones.”
My thanks to @blushmallet for the marvelous work that they did on this. Thank you again.
