Description While I love the way some aspects of the Chozo were done in Metroid Prime - the statuary, the temples and writings - I'm not as fond of their narrow-faced look. This drawing is based more off the Super Metroid statues, a heavier and more parrot-like appearance.

And yeah, the hands are zygodactylous. The human arrangement is so boring. The feathers don’t quite flow as well as I’d like, but hey…

Oh, and y'all can blame ~Sitar for this one. *coughchozocough*

I'm not actually a huge Metroid fan so I can't comment on this much, but I really like it. The compromises between bipedal primate basic structure and birdlike anatomy are amazing and well-chosen. I especially like the hands and the shoulders. They create a really alien effect. I'm not sure how much of the fashion is from the source material, but that too is pretty neat; it suggests "Native American Pastiche In Space," which is historically (if not politically) appropriate to the series from my understanding. And the shading is nice and subtle. Well-done!

Its unfortunate that Im just never around DA!
It took me a half a year to realize this was out and about because of me?
..And what a pic!
The only other piece in your gallery, and it is as unique and inspiring as your other one.
I wasnt impressed at all by the prime chozo designs. Its the torizos I adore, only available on the super nintendo Im grateful for your choice to do something a bit more original. All the more power to you. shouldnt've been surprised though.
&*%! makes me wish I got more done on a regular basis... gr.

The garb on this guy is definately sci-fi.ish, but more beleivable than some stuff you find out there. its reserved, yet flashy. and very natural, if not aboriginal feeling.
I love this. o_o

chozo.. yet torizo.
ah!
