Description
My coloured pinup version of Samus Aran, the hot bounty hunter/ mercenary from the Metroid series. I did take the liberty of shading her "leotard" (or what looks like one) as slightly darker blue than the rest of the suit, just to give her a less plain appearance, colour-wise.Again, thanks to for his valuable tips in easy colouring.

Are the shaded areas done traditionally or digitally? Because if it's digital, how'd you do that? It really adds to the beauty of the piece!

The shading was done traditionally, and only the colouring is digital.
And thanks! I think it looks pretty interesting just like a comic-style kind of drawing.

He he, thanks. I'll try to, at least with the most popular ones, since I want to draw new one soon enough.

Ah, poor Samus. First female merc to put on proper armor for combat, and she still has to pull cheesecake duty.
Not that I mind overmuch.

I know, it's not her style (she usually likes to kick Metroids' butts), but she has to swallow it and do the shots... who told her to be so damn hot, anyways? He he.
By the way, dumb question: is there any difference between mercenaries and bounty hunters? I think they're the same thing.

It's... got a lot to do with the payment method. If you put a bounty on something, you're going to pay the first person to manage it. If you hire mercs, you're probably going to pay some now, and most on completion. You *could* pay them up-front, but then they don't have a lot of additional incentive to actually finish.
Plus, there's intricacies like subcontracting. If you contract merc group A for a job, and merc group B pulls it off, you pay A. A is happy. If A hired B, and pays on time, B is happy too.
Bounty hunter A goes to bring in a fellow, but after scaring him out of hiding, B catches him... and then C kidnaps him and turns him in for the reward while A & B are arguing... C gets paid. C is happy... and probably avoiding A & B for a while.

Ok... I think I got the difference. So, overall, it is better to be a mercenary, so at least you can get something up front. Maybe it's like someone with a recurrent salary (merc) versus someone who lives off commissions and tips (bounty hunter).
And which one is Samus, according to Nintendo? Maybe they didn't clear that up?

I think it varies a bit. Thankfully, getting paid was never part of the adventure.

i like the work. and i think the word you want is 'leotard' rather than 'bathing suit'. that's how they call the bodysuits that look like swimsuits but not supposed for bathing.

You're absolutely right, that's the word I was looking for. It's now changed. Thanks!
