Description
All of you who have played Metroid know what this is. I think it is my favorite environment design in the first game.I'd say it is a odd thing to make a fan art of. Anyway, enjoy.
Acrylic on canvas. 19 x 24 cm.

They look like fish eggs or something. Maybe some creatures lay their eggs in norfair?

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks that those things are just bubbles...
EYES! Those are eyes! From the souls of the people who tried to scape from that "not-fair" maze but died!

The area of Norfair and Ridleys Hideout in the original game is just like Hell. I die there the most everytime I play the game.

Yeah, no kidding. My mind exploded every time I entered into one of the Norfair rooms to later find that I've been there minutes ago.

Fun that someone does! Is it from the original Metroid or Zero Mission?
I'm just curious.

Haha it'd be from the original I think, I only played Zero Mission once or twice.

Those things always weird me out, every time I play the games. It's odd, but it's about time someone did fanart of them, I'd say ^_^

Oh noes! Now nightmare you will have. To haunt you in the dreams it will.

Nightmare is approaching you say?
Maybe I should stock up on Missiles and bring the Plasma Beam.

You should know more than most that those green bubbles are indestructible.
So Missiles and Plasma Beam won't help you there.

Not in destroying the bubbles.
But I know the Nightmare is weak to the stuff.

You didn't think it was funny... D:

No. I didn't get it at first. And it's not the most memorable boss in the series.

I may not play Metroid (I ought to try it some day), but I do find this to be quite interesting.
Your use of color does give some sort of transparency effect of the green goo (is that what it's supposed to be?) on the black eyeball (?). I also dig the shine you added on them (gotta love the shines! : D).
Is this a fiery or sunset-like environment by any chance? The orange at the bottom seems to hint so. (unless it is part of their design).

The environment is a part of the area Norfair in the game. It's a fiery and lava filled area, and parts of it is filled with these green transparent bubbles.
So the orange bottom is the reflection of the lava filling the lover parts of the area. So you where not so wrong about what you saw.
