Hey everybody, David O here (I did the art on the RFN shirt).


I'm working on a new project that I thought some of you might be interested in.


Having never played any of the Metroid games, I have decided to play through all of them and illustrate the whole journey. I call it The Metroid Chronicles.

Here's a link to the series if you want to check it out, tell me what you think!

Are you going to do Fusion eventually?

Thank you!

Are you going to do Fusion eventually?

Yes sir! I'm doing them all in order of release.

I like it.  A lot of the Metroid games have been covered extensively in retrospectives but I find your illustrations and humour add a distinct twist to it.

It passes the best test - I want more.  I want to see this project taken to completion and to read all of it.  I find myself somewhat annoyed that I have to wait until it's all written.  So keep up the good work!

Not bad. I'm intrigued again about the Metroid world and really want to finish Metroid 2. I think I'll play tonight.

That last joke about their life stages was hilarious. Looking forward to the rest.

I just read it. Very funny, and I like the illustrations. Yes, the Metroid "lifecycle" makes not one lick of goddamn sense. It's like Remoraid evolving into Octillery.

Chapter 5 is up!

The Metroid Chronicles Chapter 5: Of All The Planets In All The Galactic Federation

Excellent. Metroid 2 gets a lot of hate, but it's such a huge nuts-and-bolts improvement over the original. In fact, it's a lot closer to Super Metroid than Metroid 1. If it had a map system of any kind, it would be one of those celebrated Game Boy games. It's also a real shame that the planned DX rerelease on GBC never happened.
