Metroid Eater Burst

God Eater + Metroid = Metroid Eater.

Hmm... so this won 's Genre redesign contest! That was certainly unexpected; I thought my other piece "Metroid Hunter" ( deityofshadows.deviantart.com/… ) would fare better overall. Nonetheless, I'm very happy and this redesign was fun to do. Samus in general is fun to redesign! Thanks everyone!

Origins: On the offhand comment from DemonRyo, I ended up redesigning Samus in a different fashion. Street clothes Samus: I tried my best to translate all her Varia Suit motifs into an entirely different context-- jacket, beret, goggles, boots. You'll also note there are two variations in her color scheme-- without and without stockings, black or earthy orange (varia inspired) boots. Which do you prefer?

Her weapon is based on God Eater's tri weapon design. It can transform from sword to gun to shield. The devouring form fittingly is shaped like a metroid. It was that or a Chozo head, but metroid seems more appropriate.

Overall, though it's not as flashy as the boxart design of Metroid Hunter, I rather like this piece because of its drastic departure in her design. I hope it turned out well.

Comments and critiques are very much appreciated, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on her redesign! Fullview if you want to see all the details.
