Metroid Database Bestiary Appreciation and Discussion Thread

by **Doc Scratch** » 06.16.12 2:52am

I love the artwork in the bestiary, especially the little touches (Like how Kraid looks so different between Super Metroid and Zero Mission). How much of it is fanmade? Whoever made it (Or found it) deserves a pat on the back.

Can anybody join the bestiary team?

The Bestiary is 100% fan made by us. The artist's name appears in the bottom-left corner of the artwork for each entry.
We do not allow anybody to help. The artists are asked to join.

the latest entries look really nice. Especially KiHunter-X. Good art, all around.

I actually only just discovered the "MISC" tab underneath each picture so last night i did a binge reading of a ton of them. :phazon:

Are we going to get a M:OM and a MP, MP1, MP2,and MP3 sections soon?

I'll try to send in my artwork if i can.EDIT: It will probably be in the metroid art cafe thread

As I've stated in the past, I will open the other game sections once we have the current ones completed.
We also do not take submissions. If I want someone to join the Bestiary, I will contact you directly.

In the description for Namihe, it says that nothing in Samus' arsenal can kill it... But I'm positive you can with a super missile. So, was that a descriptive mistake, or am I not understanding what is actually being said?

That said, I love how the bestiary is coming along. Wonderful art and I love the descriptive boxes. Adds a nice touch.

Funes can be killed with a Super Missile (or Power Bombs). Namihes are invincible.

Positively adore the Giger-esque art for the Fune and Namihe enemies. Simply beautiful!

Just in case no one listened to the podcast, we do have plans to release the Metroid Prime section on 11/8, the game's 10th anniversary.

Awesome news, Infinity's End. I can't wait to see the amount of gorgeous art-work you've rounded up for the Prime enemies. Especially looking forward to Chozo Ghost, Space Pirate, and Sheegoth!

by **Psicoso** » 11.02.12 5:37am

Prime is already 10 years old?

...holy shit

Thanks go out to Rondus for programming in new cursors for the Bestiary!

Cursors created by me. (Be sure to clear cache and/or refresh to make them appear)

Whoops - I made a mistake. Our site was wrong. The 10th anniversary is actually on the 18th (same as Fusion), not the 8th. Hope you guys can wait 10 more days!
