Samus Aran redesign 1.0
REDESIGN 2.0 here! :D [link]

The redesign is pretty drastic and I'm not sure how recognizable it is to the original. I tried keeping certain characteristics familiar. That said, I had fun drawing this anyways.

Some ideas:

-Slimmed down more feminine armor.
-Chozo styled armor: notice the bird-like helmet. I tried to retain that idea throughout.
-Hair streaming from the back of the helmet. I toyed with this idea and the potential of the hair transforming to a pair of "bird" wings. It may or may not be Samus's real hair underneath.

Much of this stems from my recent enthusiasm for all things Metroid: Metroid Other M updates sound pretty sweet, and I finally beat Metroid Prime I (o_0).

I LOVE this redesign...but there is just one problem with it. Most people do this, so I'm not blaming you!
"Boob Cups" (where the boobs are in individual metal cups) in armour is actually a bad idea, because of how hits the them redirect force. (I don't really want to yammer on about it unless you want me too. :D) Other than that little gripe, this is the best redesign of Samus I've ever seen...And one of the coolest, sleekist, and most badass looking ladies I've seen in a long time! Amazing job!
Seriously I LOVE this....would you consider doing some sort of wallpaper version? (As in, a version with a background or something, that would look good as a wallpaper?)

Woooow. That looks awesome. The hair (I think it is) seems a touch excessive though. Looks great though =D

Amazing! I love how it showcases her femininity! The high heels might be a bit much though. :P

Noted and changed in the second redesign to a pair of thrusters ala space boots. It should be linked in the description.
