Metroid Redesigns

For a few years I have been noodling on a bunch of different Metroid themed designs. There is a lot I can say about the project but I'm tired of it hanging over my head. I learned a lot, and I'm putting it to bed unfinished. I got lost in the designs and probably never really had a clear idea of why I was even working on this project in the first place. Might be worth a bigger postmortem someday... Anyway, I wanted to put some images out there of the journey and bid it farewell.
