Power Ups - Metroid Fan Art
Personal Project
Created by JC TecklenburgSometimes you just need to make something for yourself. The idea was to kitbash together Metroid power-ups as an exercise in deliberate practice. It coincidentally lined up with the 35th anniversary of the series and the lead up to Metroid Dread!
Starting Explosively.
The Power Bomb
I decided to make something for myself this week so kitbashed together this #Metroid PowerBomb.Check out this turnaround, I'm happy with how it came out!
Continuing Superly.
The Super Missile
Kitbashed another #Metroid pickup, this time a Super Missile! Really enjoying this exercise and I didn't even realize it was the 35th anniversary until prompted!
Unlocking Energy.
The Energy Tank
This pickup's an Energy Tank! Making these kitbashed #metroid items and scenes is fun but boy did the scope creep away from me on this one. If the turnaround is the lower bound then this should be the upper bound for this series ha!

Missiles Away.
The Missile
The classic #metroid missile is a key in every game so I couldn't leave it out. The original pickup/powerup! #kitbashing these scenes has taught me a bunch especially about building scenes for renderview vs building a scene and finding shots within it.

Opening Doors.
The Varia Suit
Less of a #kitbash for the pickup this time as it's pretty simple. The scene however is a different story. I actually rendered this a month ago but it took me a while to get the sfx right while finishing client work. Going for that classic Metroid 1 look!

Getting the Height.
The Space Jump and Space Jump Boots
METROID DREAD HYPE!!!! This one is also less of a kitbash because the power up is a pointy sphere and the pickup is a shoe. Doing more compositing so check it out! Now do I do the screw attack like I was going to or do I do something from Dread... 🤔
