Hey guys!! It's been a while hasn't it?

But fear not as I'm back with a new illustration, namely a Metroid 35th Anniversary tribute piece for Game-Art-HQ.com!Since this year is full with videogame anniversaries, Game-Art-HQ was kind enough to invite me and other great artists to begin the celebrations with a bunch of cool illustrations.Anyway, I went ahead and  gave my best to make a worthy tribute to what is my favourite Nintendo franchise.Funny enough it wasn't always like that... I remember the 1st time I played a Metroid game. It was Metroid 2 on my red zora Game Boy and man!, I wasn't impressed. Truth be told I died a bunch of times at the begining of the game and never looked back. So yeah, my first impression wasn't very good but a few years later I'd be singing its praises to the heavens. Thus enter Metroid Prime!!The game was out for a while now and the reviews made me curious about the latest adventure of Samus but still I wasn't willing to give the jump. After a rough period in my life I was in dire need of something to help me forget those hard times and upon finding Metroid Prime at half the price I decided to give it a chance. Low and behold that was all that I needed to pick up myself again and to finally appreciate this amazing game series.Needless to say that after Prime I went back and played all the Metroid games that I could get my hands on and I loved everyone of them!

This commentary is getting long on the tooth so let's dive in this piece where you'll find a bunch of Samus enemies representing each entry in the franchise like Mother Brain from Metroid, Kraid from Super Metroid and Meta Riddley from Metroid Prime.Like always I hope you guys like my take on this characters!Until next time!!!
