Samus' Chozo Cloak, My Renditioning ::Colored::

Description

:star: Check out ~ImmanuelWolf's original design and my pencilled version of this picture here: :star:



His version has all the reasons behind why this original concept was made. Just imagine those descriptions here too, to save me some time to type them all out.

It sure has been a while since I last drew any Metroid fanart, and to a lesser extent, people! Anyway, I had #metroid-club on my watch list, and that piece came up. I liked the concept so much that I decided to ask ~ImmanuelWolf if I could draw the robe in my style, and he said that it was not only okay, but encouraged, so here it is! Considering how Samus spent her childhood with the Chozo, it made more sense to me that she would prefer their fashion as opposed to, say, the fashion you see in Metroid: Other M.

I'm experimenting with a new coloring style in which I actually keep my old pencilling lines (instead of throwing them away as I usually do for the purposes of colored ink lines). I think, if performed with great care, it could work! Also, I wasn't really sure what the colors of the cloak should be, and tried everything from an orange color scheme to a blue color scheme. Eventually, though, I decided that gray would be just fine. Kind of like Old Bird's style from the official Metroid manga, honestly.

You did a great job emulating the artwork style of the games while using your own style as well. The Chozo symbols on the cloak and the loose hairstyle helps make her look like the 'Hatchling' she is. The cloak looks unique and you did a good job with the fabric folds and shading. I loved seeing more fanart of Samus when she lived with the Chozo, and your variant of the earlier artwork is still recognizable and unique at the same time. The cel-shading style and screw attack symbol on her robe adds a nice twist on the earlier artwork.
