Thank you for the comment Berserker79! :)

I was a bit sad when Samus didn't make it to be part of Term 34 (not that this was reason to complain about that term ;)), so it's good to finally see the result of your efforts with this character! I really like the pinup-style pose and the way you've drawn Samus' form-fitting outfit with plenty of detail. Also, the contrast of colors between the outfit and the background is pretty eye-catching. Well done!

Thank you Ciarán! I love reading the details in your feedbacks too! :)

Oh I was definitely looking forward to this one, the WIP looked great and Samus Aran is always a win 😍😍😍 First off, I love the pose for this one, the way she looks towards us with a slight smile, her ponytail meandering away from her as her body slopes forward, a strong arch to her back with her breasts and toned stomach each pushed outwards. To add to the dynamic nature of the pose, the way she lifts her leg, the curving contours of her back wrapping around the shape of her bum, with her bending calf adding that zig-zagging line to her leg all looks great, there's a sensual and elegant feel to her pose because of it. There rendering here is marvellous too, I like the vibrant yellow of her hair and her bright blue eyes distinct against the warm tones of her skin. And since her outfit is skin-tight, much of what i say about the SFW version also applies to the nude one too 😂😉. The lighting and definition of her anatomy looks top notch, from the protrusions of her collarbones, the definition of her pecs, the shapes of her breasts as they wrap over her chest, the definition of the muscles along the length of her arm and the separation down her abs. I really like a lot of the soft blending of tones that you have here, very noticeable on her breasts (I'm looking at the NSFW version specifically here), abs and the length of her arm. Though in other areas, the use of brighter lights and darker shadows is quite striking and accentuates her body very well, the best part to show this is her raised thigh with the light running along the upper half while the darker core shadow runs parallel, it really does look fantastic and I love that part! Looking back to the SFW variant, the way the darker blue sections conform to the shapes of her body, as well as the shine of the material all look fantastic, while I love the level of detail put into her high-heels. This is a wonderful painting and I am a huge fan of it! The detail is gorgeous, the quality of the rendering and anatomy are fantastic and Samus just looks beautiful, sensual, alluring and very classy (seriously, that raised leg is too nice 😍😍😍, especially with the curvature of her back and oh goodness, I didn't mention it before, but in the NSFW version, I love the long shadow that runs down her back to merge with the shadows on the undersides of her bum and thigh 😄) Damn, I just nearly started a whole new section of rambling 😅, but seriously, magnificent work, this is a wonderful pinup and most definitely among my favourite paintings of yours 😻😻😻😻😻

Wow! This one is insanely high quality! I usually don't care for Samus, as she's drawn often, but this is fantastic! Great job!
