I am currently working on a concept for my 3D Portfolio of Samus Aran from the Metroid series, combined with the design of Portal 2. I am aiming for it to look as if Aperture Science designed and built the power suit that Samus is famous for, as I thought they would be great to mix together, while retaining the iconic aspects of both.
The final gun will probably be somewhat of a combination of
the two versions you see here. Even though I will be reworking the visuals substantially, I like the ability of A to compress down into an
oval like the turrets in Portal, but B is obviously the one that is further
along. I’ll probably take the barrel of B, and put it into the shell of A, for
the most part.
I still need to go in and refine a few more areas, and add
some smaller details here and there before it’s finished, so I’ll do another
update once that’s done. I know some (or
most) of my perspective is off, but hopefully you get the idea. Also, the
shoulders are different sizes, as I am still working out what size they should
be, and will nail that down when I go to refine that area.
In conclusion, huge thanks to Devon Cady-lee who helped me out in terms of brainstorming how everything should blend together, as well as
for some incredible design discussion / direction!
