God Eater + Metroid = Metroid Eater.

Hmm... so this won :iconmetroid-club:'s Genre redesign contest! That was certainly unexpected; I thought my other piece "Metroid Hunter" ( [link] ) would fare better overall. Nonetheless, I'm very happy and this redesign was fun to do. Samus in general is fun to redesign! Thanks everyone!

Origins: On the offhand comment from ~DemonRyo, I ended up redesigning Samus in a different fashion. Street clothes Samus: I tried my best to translate all her Varia Suit motifs into an entirely different context-- jacket, beret, goggles, boots. You'll also note there are two variations in her color scheme-- without and without stockings, black or earthy orange (varia inspired) boots. Which do you prefer?

Her weapon is based on God Eater's tri weapon design. It can transform from sword to gun to shield. The devouring form fittingly is shaped like a metroid. It was that or a Chozo head, but metroid seems more appropriate.

Overall, though it's not as flashy as the boxart design of Metroid Hunter, I rather like this piece because of its drastic departure in her design. I hope it turned out well.

Comments and critiques are very much appreciated, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on her redesign! Fullview if you want to see all the details.

Samus Aran belongs to Nintendo.
God Eater belongs to Namco

Do you mind if I make a GEB id card out of this but give a link back here?

If this ended up as DLC for GEB2 (i know it wont) that would be awesome.

This desperately needs to be in a game. Like, if they ever made a Metroid MMORPG, this would have to be the Samus NPC. I think I may be in love with this redesign more than out of all of them.

I love it! Its a faithful redesign that captures the Metroid spirit while pertaining and deviating completely away from it.

Good job!

No name in mind when I made this, though I'd think a name from Metroid lore would be fitting. Thanks.
