Samus Aran -- After Hours (6/21 Exclusive)

I wanted to do something a little different with this piece. I often come at my drawings from the perspective that these are photos, often with the character modeling and fully-aware of the viewer. I decided to touch more on that with this piece, with the idea of our favorite Chozo-trained bounty hunter, Samus, posting a goofy and playful Instagram photo.

Very little of this piece was planned out from the start; it initially started out as the Instagram photo idea, but I wasn't sure who the character was going to be. I did the background, which kind of locked me into a modern or scifi theme, and only then did I decide to refine the loose figure sketch into Samus, wearing one of her less-common under-armour outfits. The drink in her hand was initially going to be a beer, to reflect Samus's rugged character, but changed it to wine, if only to get away with the silly caption.

I was very close to calling it finished, once the character was colored and all seemed good to go, but it was bugging me; it felt very flat. I ended up fixing Samus's face (profiles are tough), thickened the lineart to make the whole figure more visible, and heightened the contrast in the skin and the costume/top. Finally, I decided I wanted a more grunge Samus, so I added the streaking eyeliner and tattoos. Overall, I'm very happy with this piece.


Dirty variant will be coming later -- I'm not sure if I'm going to do a sock variant for this, or whether I'll just move on to the next Exclusive.

Let me know what you think of Samus in the comments below!

Silly, but amazing idea <3

Thank you! It's such a fun, silly idea. XD

Empirical Smut

As said before. We need more of this social media posts. Those are fun, include a nice artwork and you also can include so many more characters

The social media theme is great and I love it

I'm always happy to see more Samus Aran~ I also want to know that I love the dialogue here - in particular that she says the smell of her own feet is "Waayyy too much for me." ...that is, too much *for her,* someone who we've already seen with her nose blissfully buried in one of her boots, so her feet must *really* clear a room right now!~ ❀ And yes, the casual acknowledgement of her own foot odor is awesome! There's something really hot about how calm and confident she is about it, *especially* in contrast with the intense implications~ ❀❀ I'm really looking forward to the dirty version of this; here's hoping it's a real knockout~!

Thank you! I was originally gonna do characters just from Metroid, but then I realized there aren’t any. πŸ‘

Empirical Smut

I’m so glad you like it. πŸ˜‰

The Prime games were great, and so was Super Metroid. Not the greatest games in terms of character development, but they were very rewarding regardless. πŸ˜ƒ

Empirical Smut

Nice! You can never go wrong with Samus! I was never the biggest fan of Metroid or anything, I mean I like a good Metroid game, but always loved her design

This turned out great I was really excited to see how it turned out and was curious why it looked like an Instagram post lol. Also might I suggest if you’re not sure about a sock variant maybe some nylons could fit here instead!

Michael

Oh my god I love this so much. Love how casually aware she is of her own foot odor. So sexy <3

Scrumblorm

Lol! The caption is very clever! At least I think. I also find it really cool how all the comments to her post are from Smash characters, and I like how all their comments are in line with their characters. As always the feet are gorgeous! Drawn with such detail that You can almost mistake them for real! I would always enjoy a dirty variant, but that’s just my opinion. Whatever you choose to do, I can’t wait to see what’s next!
