So, I'm willing to say it; the Volt Forge is a Top 10 Metroid Area of all time, right? It's such an incredible homage to Metroid's roots in Alien.

Bleeeeehhhhhh

I'm sure you all will understand when I saw this; Venom rules but the better designs he has had make his head look like a snake, he doesn't look like a spider at all.

Show me what you can do with just a pen! I love drawing in pen, I haven't done it in a minute though.

One benefit of having a frankly absurd amount of money dropped on my head is that once my bills were securely paid off, I actually had money left over for Christmas gifts. So all this stress managed to work itself out.

Finally got Metroid Prime 4 on this Christmas Day, I hope yall are having a good one. It's storming here so I'll just be relaxing and playing my game for today.

Here's what I got so far. Aiming to do all the cannon configurations, so far I have 12 of 34.

Honestly just deciding that painting my design work (and thus freeing myself from perfectionism) is making these cannon designs so much more fun. Last time I was just drudging through a ridiculous challenge I gave myself for no reason. Now, I can't stop painting, I'm hooked bad.

Oh no, I'm going crazy again

Missile Launcher and the Super Missile

Was redoing the Cyber Polaris pic last night, it took a different direction before I went to bed. Fun chance to simplify her design though.

Okay, for fun I decided to revisit my "ideal" Samus design, cannon first this time. I really tried to focus on consistency and dimensionality with this new one.

Had a really bad anxiety attack last night about that money situation and like as thankful as I am people stepped in to help (especially since I'm not getting paid on time and would have certainly overdrafted eventually), I'm thinking I don't need a repeat of that, bleh.

🔴NOW LIVE🔴 Playing ROUTINE! Here's what you missed out from yesterday's stream twitch.tv/pearlaran

you should never trust strangers, Sammy #metroid

So, my one big criticism of Prime 4 is that the Varia Suit model is bad. Like it's REALLY bad. I actually don't mind a lot of the other stuff but they really butchered the Varia Suit for this one.

bsky.app/profile/gvr0... If you still feel generous/have money to spare, my friend needs it more than I do now. He just moved away from financially abusive family and is still looking for a job. I paid him some of the surplus I got already.

Oh my god. What. It's been less than an hour. What the fuck. I'm gonna delete the original post now cause this is basically an extra paycheck.

I went all in on the Eva inspiration here lol. Cyber Polaris's exoskeleton, with additional notes explaining her armament. I got so locked in working on this that I stayed up till 3 AM and you can tell in spots.

Messing with colored pencils to cope with not being able to play Metroid Prime 4 yet. Watching a walkthrough is like being edged so I had to stop or else I'd lose my mind.

So you say you're glad that he's frozen in there and we're out here. And that he's the sheriff. And that you're frozen out here. And you're in there. But oh, you just remembered - you're out here. But what I really wanna know is... where's the caveman?

The timestamp really makes this funny

Missed the bus to work and had to wait for a ride instead

Rewatched Edgerunners and my algorithm got the Cyberpunk bug so I refitted Cyber Polaris to be a Cyberpunk 2077 character. And nobody could stop me from making her as cool as I want! So here is her new armor and some lore. Alt text for the second picture is in BOTH images, I ran into the text limit.

When it comes to drawing armor/mechanical shit, I'm maybe vastly overtrained for it, but I do think it's a lot easier than people believe. I think a lot of people just haven't practiced the constructive drawing that goes into that, which I think more people should. It makes all your art better.

I got a new Polaris comm from @tsutsunotsumi.bsky.social of her dressed as my main in Marvel Rivals. I told myself I wouldn't do a hero shooter again and then got hooked by a cool robot. Thanks to Tsutsunotsumi for and go check out oomf's art

mcdonalds deleted their ai ad, bullying works

Back to practicing with my airbrush. I have this little Sachiel keychain charm that got damaged so I figured it'd be a good test for painting. My last attempt was very bad but this one looks great

still a lot to work on but i feel like this year i stepped out of a fog of depression and self loathing that had been the undercurrent of my mental health for a long time prior. i feel like im learning to breathe again.

i’m really happy lately…

I liked filming that last video that I filmed myself again! I guess this is how I'm gonna journal now. In which I show off how I dress when I'm not at work, walking on my way to the OTHER coffee shop I don't work at.

Making capitalists “pay their fair share into society” means all of it. They do not produce. They own. Their fair share is nothing. Labor is entitled to all it creates. It’s important we understand this.

ROUTINE is everything

I muted everything Metroid related since I'm not playing the game right away. Will probably just quietly play Rivals for a while and avoid the social media torment nexus.

I got the entire bundle with the first balloon I popped. I'm so fucking good at gambling.

Many wonder why games journalists really struggle to cover adult games censorship I think this games journalist posting on ResetEra about Horses really gives a pretty unprecedented look into how games journalists think about these things, including the incorrect read on the censorship angle

stream time, playing rollslop (nightreign) today!! 🐯🍖 www.twitch.tv/smilodonnavt youtube.com/@smilodonnavt

I'm not even gonna lie, all this noise about Prime 4 has utterly drained any enthusiasm I had for it. I haven't been excited for it for a while but at this point I am questioning if I want to buy it at all

Sammy's Journal END -- #metroid Last one of these, for now - hope you liked them :)

In @thatmetroidguy.bsky.social 's discord, I found a chart scaling various Metroid Prime characters as they appear in the game. While Dark Samus and Samus are the same height in cutscenes, in real gameplay Dark Samus is HUGE and I had to draw that.

Sammy's Journal by @maxkayart.bsky.social reminded me of the time I tried to draw a comic describing my experience spending 3 hours trying and failing to get the early Space Jump Boots in Metroid Prime Remastered but I kept falling off the DAMN. ROCK.
