I decided to draw the agonizing evolution from Ridley to Meta Ridley. I took the Ridley I had drawn earlier, and put him on the table. I did that ... http://conglometroid.com/gallery/drawings/meta-ridley-by-kasper-tromp/ I wanted to draw at least 1 in-game picture of Metroid Prime.

I also didn't make a brown skin and green hair, but rather a green ... http://conglometroid.com/gallery/traditional/kraid-by-kasper-tromp/ The fight against Pirate general Weavel in Brinstar.
