R: Samus Aranby *GekkouKitsune

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Games

Request made by ~doubleTS when he caught my kiriban who knows when.

I think it's obvious what the ref pic is from. But I wanted to make sure I did a great job, and really get to work with my graphite skills again. And thus, this was born. I'll upload the WIPs into my scraps later if you want to take a look.

I opted to not have Samus's face in the helmet because 1. it didn't look right and 2. I like the mysteriousness of when we didn't know who exactly was inside the suit.

I suck at backgrounds, but I didn't want it to be blank, so I tried to whip up a quick spacial-theme that didn't work out so great.. lol.

It's my best work in a long time, but for some reason I don't think it's my best work. I still have a lot left in my cannon, I just need to utilize it somehow...

I had already started this before I heard about how much ~doubleTS looked up to me. So, I hope this works for you pal.

Made with graphite pencils 6H - 9B, tortillions. About 3-4 hours, but here and there because I was busy then got sick. Finished it tonight.
