Samus Aran by Trevor Carr

“Here’s my take on the original leading lady from Metroid. It’s been a passion project of mine for a very long time and I’ve learned so much working on it. I’ve been in love with the series since I was a kid and I’m so excited to see what Retro studios will do with Prime 4,” wrote the artist.

Carr noted that the suit is a mix of elements and styles from different games. “When I started the process I wanted her to deviate pretty wildly from the core design, but the longer I worked the more I realized I needed to reign it in or you’d lose what was so iconic about that classic look. As with anything, there are a million ways I wanted to polish it or refine some aspect, but I’m pretty happy with where it ended up.”

The design looks kind of amazing, right? What do you think about his work? Discuss the project in the comments, and don’t forget to check out the artist’s portfolio page.
