Alright, this thing has gone on long enough without being finished. At the moment, I'm touching it up and hopefully removing any fails before resuming the body.
C+C and stuff
Is this a revamp/re-styling of Kraid? This looks like you're taking the MZM version and making a Metroi dFusion version of it.
The sprites themselves look a tad bit too smooth (i.e., the belly region), but the basic shading looks spot on.
It's supposed to be custom, I'm just using MZM Kraid as a reference.
I want to see this finished. Or so my die-hard Metroid fandom says :p
