Armor Suit Samus

Spent unfathomable number of hours coloring this monstrosity (hunter). Ridley, in particular, took an insane amount of time coloring and maintaining the scaly texture of a wyvern. I'm just glad this is all done with. =_=

Linework and original description can be found here: [link]

This was done for the :iconmetroid-club: contest. Samus Aran and Ridley, reinvisioned in the Monster Hunter universe-- armor sets, monster-design, belt-buckles, bowguns, and all. Does it look MH enough?

Coloring time: 10+ hours on this weekend alone with at least another 7+ throughout the past week. Colored with a mouse. I need to speed up my digital coloring.

As always, comments and critiques are very much appreciated! Perhaps a fullview is worth it to see the detail. Also, critiques are appreciated on Samus's armorset design. Does she look Monster Hunter enough? I'm open to suggestions and do take into account the feedback.

Artwork belongs to me. Ask permission before use.
Metroid belongs to Nintendo, and Monster Hunter belongs to Capcom.

Samus looks really awesome and Monster Hunter-y here, but Ridley is a showstealer. It's amazing how convincing you've made him look as a Monster Hunter-esque design without really compromising anything on the actual basics of the character. If I wasn't at all familiar with Monster Hunter, I would just look at this and think it was a neat, organic, tribal take on Meta-Ridley.

Really fantastic idea, brilliantly executed - right down to the logo.

At some point, I'll want to revisit this idea because the crossover is too fun to do. One thing I did wonder about Ridlos was is whether I should have attached his arms to his wings-- similar to actual Rathalos, Tigrex, or other MH monster designs. I kept his basic form though.

Thank you very much for the comment!
