That's an awesome job. I'm a big fan of anything Metroid/Samus related, and so I can spot good details when I see them. =)

Looks awesome! Its one of the best fan art Samus pictures I have seen. I also noticed you did a great job with the details. Oh great, I’m all excited for Hunters again.

@Yash and Zan - Not trying to be an arse, but if by details you mean the lineart, Taser didn't do it.

@Taser - Love the colouring job. Only thing that you need to fix IMO is the blast coming from Samus' gun thing. Otherwise you did a nice job colouring.

The coloring looks really nice but the fire effect is rather horrible-
The main thing to remember about creating effects that produce light or reflect lots of light (fire, some Ice magic type things, Lightning, energy blasts) is Light works on an additive level-- all color is based on a value scale of 0 to 1
0 being Black 1 being white .5 being grey etc etc-
Light is always 1 at the brightest point- in this case the place where the projectile escapes from- you have it as grey... it should be white- then it gradually becomes red- then orange then yellow. Of course in some styles the center color is just bright yellow for those big billowing cartoon like explosions - they usually have white in them at some point or in the areas where smaller explosions are starting. point is they are never black- and they are bright- brightness is based on high values- most often brighter than any other value in the background- making your dark yellow "fire" look very bad against your "bright orange" background...

Never played any of those games, but, through CVRPG I have come to recognize Samus. I like it very much. Shading is brilliant.

Not bad. I've seen better, but I can't complain. It's waaaaaay better than anything I can draw. Keep up the good work.
