I had so much fun with dread earlier this year. It motivated me to buy and mod an original GBA so I could finally beat the copy of Fusion I’ve had since I was a kid. That really got the ball rolling on me finishing as many Metroids as I can ahead of Prime 4. I think I’ve finished 4-5 now. Still haven’t done Super Metroid, which everyone tells me is the best, but I’m a snob and I want to get a Super Nintendo controller to play it with.
I’ll pop in and say the mechanics of pointing the wiimote at the screen from using it as a horizontal controller in order to go into a first person mode was kina fun. It was also the (first?) Metroid game to use the parrying system that was also used in Dread, which is super satisfying. It also had a boss fight that was a near direct reference to one of the Alien movies, which was original inspiration for Metroid.
But the story sucked, and I think we have all rightfully retconned it, as Samus is an awesome bounty hunter, not a lame little baby.
Dude, again? These are the default officially licenced images that merch sellers use to print onto t-shirts and crap. There’s no way this is hand drawn.
Such clean lines and effective shading. I’m in grey scale mode on my phone so at first I thought this was a photo of a metallic miniature. Really impressive work.

This is extremely good.
Thanks! I really appreciate it.
Damn, that is some good stippling.
Happy to hear that! Thank you.
I would love a tattoo of this.
That’d be sick! I’m always down to create custom designs if you’re ever interested.
Shoot me a DM.
Hi, I sent you a DM, is this something you’re still interested in?
Yeah, just need to make some measurements and plan some things around other planned tattoos.
Awesome, that’s great to hear! Reach out anytime you’re ready. I look forward to hearing from you.
DM sent! I look forward to hearing from you.
Only a couple more weeks until Prime 4!
Dude! I know. I’m so excited. I absolutely love the franchise. Metroid Dread was also an absolute banger.

Nice! Yeah, I’ve played all the Metroids except for Other M. You will not be disappointed with Super Metroid.
You might want to try AM2R if you haven’t already. It is basically Metroid 2, but fully remade to be like Zero Mission mixed with Prime scanner lore.
I’ve heard of that, but never played it. I did play the remake Samus Returns and really enjoyed the simplistic story of just hunting down Metroids.
Not surprised you skipped other M. I haven’t heard a single good thing about that one
Yeah same here.

No, I thought so too, but I hunted down OP’s accounts. Here’s his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/electricbrainstem/
And if you look at his past comments, he describes his drawing process, and it sounds realistic.
But you’re right that this is a drawn copy of a promo image, and he sells them, especially as tattoo stencils. This is a veiled ad.
Oh wow. That is pretty cool.
The detail in such a small form factor boggles my mind. Well done!
Thank you! I’m happy to hear that. I love working on the little details.
Such clean lines and effective shading. I’m in grey scale mode on my phone so at first I thought this was a photo of a metallic miniature. Really impressive work.
Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that.
Is this mostly line work or stippling?
Mostly just line work and regular shading. The texture of the paper gives it that stippling look.
Great work!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
This is sick af. Must have taken some serious effort.
Thank you! It was a blast drawing it up.
