Artist's commentary
Samus Battlefield
This was a very experimental picture. I have been trying out very intense and strange lighting conditions lately, I think it works well in this case for her reflective zerosuit. I have also been trying to add more depth of field to my pictures by very incrementally blurring specific parts of the figure.
To be honest, I like the smash bros brawl version of her zerosuit better. But this one was interesting to render, especially the texture for it.
I put Samus on the smash bros battlefield twirling her paralyzer around her to illuminate her tight suit. Originally the time of day for this was going to be twilight, however the lighting of her suit was more impressive with a darker background. While in SSB4 the suit doesn't reveal an athletic figure on her, I think it's called for because I imagine Samus being very fit.
