Description
Your comments get me through the day. thankyou so much.Here's something else I've 'untooned' using the photomanipulation beyond recognition technique.
Samus' usual yellow/orange/red suit with several liberties taken. I don't wanna call it the Varia Suit... cuz.. you know..
I did just make this cool Animated gif that shows the original screen capture i used, as it transforms into the new concept, by request. check it out if you'd like [link]
Hope some metroid fan stumbles over it and appreciates it

Stumbled upon I did, and this is interesting indeed.
I am a very big fan of Samus Aran -- if you go to my profile, you will see I've already begun a complete analysis of the entire Metroid saga. But this is clearly beyond what I could have imagined.
According to lore, Samus' armor (I'm sorry, but I myself consider Varia a suit and the overall an armor) was done by MotherBrain. But the second one is a Chozo relic hidden inside Chozodia, as if a piece of a war museum; the main difference between the two are the sheer amount of weapons the second one has and the finns on her shoulders.
Still, the second one should look MORE like it upholds the Chozo culture than the first one. So if ever there was time and dedication to make an armor look as if designed by the ancient Bird-like species, it should look both ancient and extraterrestrial, but also intimidating (not too much, of course).
With your design, I very much see this armor beeing made as if by an ancient species. The mid-riff, because left as if not as solid as the red parts, to look as if assembled with gold-iron feather-like blades overlapping and melding over each other, much like the elves have often enough their breastplates made with leaf motifs on them. While the red parts and the arms feel more protected by an extra reflective layer of a lazer-cut stone. The bronze overtones also makes it look ancient, even wood-like in some places. As for the arm cannon, although I only see a piece of it, look sturdy but, because the weapon, accentuated with rough lines and angles.
It almost look like Extraterrestrial futuristic Steampunk.
Samus should awake interest with whom she encounters because of this armor, and so it should look strange and un-Earthlike in every way. This is a fine example of this and I would be very interested to know what you would have done with the rest of her armor (not that I am asking you to do so, you are your own artist).
If you do not mind, I would love to make a link in the conclusion of my essay to this piece of art as to better illustrate such a point.
An artist's duty is to inspire and provoke thought. You, LeoDiamond, did just that.
Very well imaginated, constructive and aucadious.

There's an angry face on her chestplate...

All lulz aside, what beam does she have equipped?
I don't remember a green one.
Then again, I don't remember a lot of things...
