Ridley?

[toddymon]

well the picture is on my computer. and it looks terrible. i dont even kno whow ot work with it, its so bad. i quess i really need a digital cam or something

[SteelSaurus]

If you can get me a picture, I can vector it. Eventually...

[toddymon]

well the problem i si need to redraw it too. this ine has a coffee stain that looks something akeen to either africa or south america at this moment. i only used it as a test. but teh real ridley will have to be completely redone.

[Oakleaf]

Do eeet. I'm rooting for you, Toddymon! It might serve as a source of inspiration for me as well.

Hope i'm not over stepping or stepping on anyone's toes, but I had a bit of some free time today, so I thought I'd toss in some ridley art. The first one is my rendition/contribution and the second is doing my best to consolidate the pieces from shedra's sketches and ink it.

[toddymon]

lol. the first one has boobs. now that would be interesting. but i don't think the second one is going to be able to fight to well with th other half of his body amputated.

[DemonFiren]

Second one's skull looks a LOT better than first one's, at least. Ridley's not a pelican, after all

[Oakleaf]

Not too sure about the proportions on the second one, regarding hands and feet -err... hand and foot x)

[DemonFiren]

Yes, it looks sorta Mewtwo-like.

[Valithan]

As mentioned, the second one is simply an inked-up assembled picture of what Shedra has posted back on page 1 of this topic. Since I was just using copies of the posted links, the line quality isn't as good as a scan to get a 150-300 dpi version, so I didn't play with the size constraints of the body parts, I simply put the pieces from the side-view together. The wings and tail parts didn't match the same perspective, so I left those off.

Outside of the NES metroid, Ridley does have a pelican-like head and enlarged hands and feet compared to his lanky limbs, esp in Metroid Fusion. Each game in succession seems to make his face longer and longer, i'm just jumping the gun and exaggerating it further As far as the "boobs" go, that's pectoral armor, Ridley just isn't manly enough to wear it well :/ — my ridley is based a lot more on the Zero Mission adaptation of Ridley, with some influences from Meta-Ridley.

http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Ridley has the collection of images I used for reference throughout the article, but specific images would be:

ridleys super stun sperm blast. or maybe even an extendick equiped with vagina seeking abilities.

[DemonFiren]

Cunt-detecting missiles. THAT'S a weapon.

[toddymon]

why the hell is there always a ridley anyway? isnt he dead? for teh bazillionth time? not saying we shouldnt have him and is gyro powered pelvic sex charger. (stocked with fully outfitted super scrotum with mega thrust and fully functional pussy locater.) but i mean really? how many times can a space pterodactyl die?

[DemonFiren]

Every resurrection seems to cost him brain and coolness.

[trunks2585]

It's blatently stated in space pirate logs they are cloning him. from DNA they have.

[toddymon]

why not just bring out his twin brother or something? like radley. see he already sounds promising. and why the hell would you clone a dinosaur that has proven itself to be effectively useless? you dont break a rock by smacking it with a tissue paper. if it doesnt work, it doesnt work

[DemonFiren]

Smack it long enough with sufficient amounts of paper. And hell, people who clone themselves some kind of not-really-anymore-leader? COOL STUFF.

[toddymon]

rock paper scissors logic huh? doesnt change teh fact that ridley still sucks. "samus! prepare for trouble!!"*BOOM*"im blasting off agaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiin"

[DemonFiren]

Blasting off a heckuva load right on her face. Splortch. Psychological weapon. Samus is done for as soon as Ridley does that. According to what I read he actually only needed to lick her. Fanfic says his species' saliva contains a natural aphrodisiac.

[toddymon]

for reals? so does that mean that this whole time ridley chasing samus around so he can beat off to her? maybe he has a crush on her? O.O
