Ridley contest entryby ~Deimos-Remus

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Games

For the current Ridley contest over at

Wanted to put together something simple, using Ridley's design from the first game's manual. I've always preferred this version to his boring pterodactyl design, much more unique and alien. But that's just me.

Well, definitely, he looks like an evolved form of the dragons in Norfair on the NES imho, but I think Nintendo changed Ridley to the whole Pterodactyl-esque form because the Omega Metroid from Metroid II also had similar designs (which could be seen from Metroid 4 as well...

~Deimos-Remus Apr 28, 2013 Student

Well, Ridley's design in-game looked more akin to his current design, the really bizarre one, the one I referenced was in the Manual for the game only, an artist's inaccurate, but unique interpretation.

~mahboi18 Apr 28, 2013

MY personal opinion? The original Ridley with a touch of H.R. Giger's style would have proved how intimidating he was to young Samus.

~Deimos-Remus Apr 28, 2013 Student

Oh, there's no doubt how much Alien has influenced Metroid.

~mahboi18 May 1, 2013

yeah.

You know, now that you mention it, this version of Ridley is more unique and actually creepier. I like his dragon-esque design since it better conveys him as a cruel vicious bastard, but this version works better than I originally thought!

Nice job

While I like his design from Super Metroid, I think beyond that game he got more generic. Thanks! Glad you like it!

~StevenGordonArt Apr 9, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

yeah, probably. he had itty bitty wings back then.

Haven't seen any Metroid from you in awhile! Looks great! Love his feet/legs.

~Deimos-Remus Mar 16, 2013 Student

Thanks sis! I like how the bent leg turned out.
