Samus (Metroid) without helmet

Post by ScienceDad »

Hi guys,

So I've decided that everyone on my Xmas list is getting toques and hats with cross-stiches on them, and this is one of the pieces that I just finished:
helmetless_samus.jpg
helmetless_samus.jpg (62.73 KiB) Viewed 1729 times
I made this pattern by pasting together custom sprites by ZinDimTimeYUM and Justin Bailey at spriters-resource.com - basically taking the head off of one sprite and working it onto another, and then simplifying the colour palette a little. I really like this end result because I couldn't find any in-game sprites that really emphasize that Samus is a woman in power armour. Everything I came across were either zero-suit Samus (sans power armour) or death-scene Samus (where the armour is exploding around her). Let me know if you'd like the chart :)

Cheers,
