This is some pretty awesome Samus fanart

Some pretty cool artwork in this thread, really makes me wish we would see nintendo do more with this franchise. So much potential there.

Still my favorite Metroid/Samus fanart:

This is my favorite in this thread. Just love the feel of this artwork.
 
It's cold in space, so there is a legitimate reason for the nipple.

There's so much great artwork in this thread! Samus is a fantastic character.
 
Why do most of these fan-art depict Samus as being the exact same size of her suit?
???

We see the suit come off and on in the games. In every single game there doesn't seem to be a significant loss of height (Other M has fucked scale in general and it's Other M so I don't count it anyway), although the proportions change for obvious reasons that the Varia Suit's proportions aren't humanly possible.
 
...sorry for going off-topic: I always thought, if prepared right, Samus could totally be played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

I can't find a picture of her with blonde hair, but personally I think she could portray an experienced version of Samus Aran very well (just imagine blonde hair):

She can act cool/tough without making it look too forced dramatic or over-the-top (Scott Pilgrim, The Thing, Die Hard, Final Destination), gives off an intelligent, capable aura without looking too dumb or like a smartass, and already has experience with horror/monster plots (she can pull off a believable 'situation going to hell' scenario).

She's more girl-next-door type, but I've always felt that kind of personality/look would fit Samus more than depressing emo-PTSD child or generic pin-up blonde Mary Sue badass. Combined with the sitting half-mech-suit version of the Varia suit (or an exosuit with elevated 'stilt' feet), it could be amazing. I imagine a Dredd-style movie, just dropped right into the middle of some personal brutal up-close action; minimal world-building with Samus taking down a Space Pirate bounty and his horde of aliens/goons on a refitted derelict space station while dropping some Metroid easter eggs throughout.

I think she could totally pull off a believable "space bounty hunter with a troubled past". When I get the time (exams right now) I'll totally draw a super-convincing mock-up. :o
 
Probably my favorite:

That makes her look like a man.

Well how do you explain the suit being close to the height of her ship and then when she is just wearing the zero suit in her ship she fits comfortably?

You know what, I actually have to agree. No one else really hit a chord with me as being a capable "movie Samus", but I think you're on to something.

She looks like Nightmare.
 
And men have penises, but drawings of Solid Snake don't usually show the full contour of his dick through his clothes. When they do, the image is rightly regarded as salacious.

In short, nipples don't work that way.

man, that took a while to get said. why in the fuck would a nipple be showing through a suit of metal armor? it's just as stupid as ab cutouts on batman's suit.
 

LOL Pat Lee

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Pat_Lee

Patrick C.K. "Pat" Lee (ミチヤメノテヒ フナナ Michiyamenotehi Funana) is a Canadian artist. He was the president of Dreamwave Productions and (allegedly) drew some of their Transformers comics, until most of his employees noticed he wasn't paying them. Subsequently, he was also the president of Dream Engine until all its employees noticed he wasn't paying them either.
At the age of 16 (or 17)[9], right after graduating from high school, Lee was eager to find a job as a "proffesional"[sic] in the comic book industry[9], sending over 150 pages of sample artworks to Marvel and DC. Unfortunately for Lee, both publishers realized what a shoddy artist he was. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, however, Lee eventually managed to catch the attention of infamous Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld at a Toronto convention in 1994, who would hire Lee (now aged 19) to work as a penciller on various titles for Liefeld's Image studio Extreme Studios.

"When you're being compared to Rob Liefeld, maybe it's time to quit."
 
Why are people reducing the image to her nipple. Its fucking amazing. Did you know that women have nipples?

It's people who are confusing sensitivity to the objectification of women, with being a common prude.
Edit: That thing below me is making me rethink the virtues of being a prude.
 
this is by ari from mechanical apple.

Incidentally, I talk to him regularly and he frequently gives me advice on Skype and is even contributing a little bit of spritework to my game.

It's his little loops that gave me the idea to do this (and others like it), too.

God dammit nintendo. They just need to hire the fans to direct the art for the next Metroid game. Jesus I can't believe they haven't made another traditional game since Fusion.
 
Samus has been depicted as a sexy woman since the 2nd game (maybe even the first, really hard to tell what they were going for with so little pixels). Always annoying when people complain about her sexiness in later games. Also, this is the best Samus fanart:

...what the fuck is up with that anatomy? Like... holy shit.
 
Take female, remove makeup, give scowl and unkempt appearance derived from being socially isolated and fighting dangerous creatures in heavy armor, and:

I'm beginning to believe that anime styled and hypersexualized artwork has distorted some peoples' perception on how women actually look outside of that art-style.

Maybe they just don't go outside.
 
The best Samus fan art I've ever seen is one where the suit is created like a mech and samus is sitting in the center of it, instead of as a suit that she actually fills fully. Such a cool, alternative take on her classic design.
