BlushMallet - Animated Harem Samus Aran (Patreon)

 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.
