Description
Wanted to draw Kraid in his original design from Metroid 1. Based off of this concept art(Kraid is in lower right corner):[link]

Excellent!!! The original Kraid somehow reminds me of Anguirus. Anguirus is from Godzilla.

A lot of those retro game enemies look pulled from Godzilla, haha.

For me, Kraid was this kind of thing with claws coming out of his belly XD
He sure looks more kawaii like that XDXD

XD Yeah... I played Super Metroid first, and fought the huge Kraid. Then I played the original and was all like,

The change in size is mostly due to the limitations of the nes, I'm sure. If the system was capable, I'm sure Kraid would've been bigger.

I've played and beaten every single metroid game, from the original to Metroid Prime, to Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Other M. I beat ALL of them. (Except that spin-off Metroid Prime Pinball.) It saddens me to see that Kraid is no longer used. I would've loved to fight a 3D version of him.

I've beaten all of the 2D games(in good time too) and never played any of the prime games. I wouldn't mind playing the prime games, I'm sure they're good, but I don't like that they ditched the 2d perspective of the originals.
Yeah, I've always like Kraid more than Ridley, and I'm annoyed that Ridley keeps coming back. I find him to be rather generic, especially in recent years.

Well... Metroid Prime, the first one, did VERY well with remaining true to the originals, with great puzzles and fight sequences, along with bosses and even the little creatures, like the Zoomers. It still has that system of back tracking, exploring... it has a hint system similar to Zero mission, where you are told where to go, but it can be disabled. The environments are huge and unique, everything about it is amazing. Metroid Prime 2... well, it was different. Definately original. But not very much like it's predecessors. It was okay. The third one... it was fairly decent, but it too changed a lot of things. Still, they are all great, and you NEED to play them!

Of course I till wouldn't mind playing them. Prime 1 looked the best to me too.

I love his old design, but I like him in Super Metroid the best.

That's great, wow, he looks thinner and longer than in the game. I like how you put the horns on his belly, just like the MZM version 
BTW, I was about to begin my version of the classic Kraid.
