Description
My first entry for #metroid-club 's Boss Battle ContestI'll probably touch this up some time in the future, but right now I'm just sick of looking at it and I want to work on other things for a while.
Phantoon has always been one of my favourite bosses, and I really liked how he was portrayed in Other M. c:

i didn't like Other M, but i loved that Phantoon in the game, it looks really disturbing, i love the presence of lovecraftian aliens in the Metroid series.

Phantoon definitely got on my nerves in Super Metroid. Seeing him in Other M was like "Oh gosh! Not you again!"Β
Nice work

You know, I just thought of something.
The official information about Phantoon says that it largely resides in another dimension.
And it was pretty clear that, in Super Metroid, Phantoon was feeding on the energy from the Wrecked Ship.
However, in Super Metroid, Phantoon was see-through, and when defeated, it just faded away.
But in Other M, Phantoon is significantly more solid(not to mention bigger and scarier), and when it is defeated THIS time, it explodes.
So here's what I think:
The Phantoon that Samus defeated in Super Metroid was not the real deal. Β It was nothing more that Phantoon's "shadow" of sorts; the Wrecked Ship's energy was only enough to allow Phantoon to create an avatar for itself.
In Other M, however...Phantoon had absorbed significantly more energy, and as such it was able to leave its dimension and confront Samus directly.
...So Phantoon may be the closest thing the Metroid universe has to a Lovecraftian Horror.

Aaay that's some really awesome idea crafting you have going on there! I've considered similar in regards to Phantoon and the Wrecked Ship especially. Have you seen Other M's art of Phantoon at all? It's depicted as a cloaked figure with rage hands and it's entire body seems to be the head, it's super neat.Β img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20β¦ Certainly adds to the "lovecraftian horror" idea.Β

Only good thing from other m was seeing this guy.

WOAH! HOW MUCH ENERGY DID PAHNTOON ABSORB?! He looks 2x the size he was originally was! Great job on this! Every element used in this brings out the nightmareish side of Phantoon!Β

A LOT, IT WOULD SEEM.Β

yeah, Phantoon is such an energy hoarder in my opinion. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Baha for sure. I mean when you find him in Super Metroid he's leeching all the energy from the Wrecked Ship. What a glutton.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL, I know right! sometimes, I just don't even know what he is doing anymore, he is such an energy hog.
π: 0 β©: 1
Obviously he's bumming around the universe hitching a ride on unsuspecting starships because he has a serious energy addiction.Β

yeah, your right.
also if you check my profile, you'll find something interesting.

Terrifying piece, the lighting on the floor is quite striking.
When Phantoon showed up at the end of Other M, I practically died with excitement.

Oh god, me too. I literally turned into a jittery little girl and had a spazz attack. XD

I had a very similar reaction to the Nightmare and Metroid Queen as well, now that I think about it!
π: 0 β©: 1
You and me both. XD
But then I'm a spazz when Metroid is concerned!

Love it! I always dreaded fighting this boss, first few times of playing it I died on the way back out of the sunken ship
Great work on capturing the terror on Phantoon, inspires me to do some sort of super metroid fan art.

Heh, yeah. Phantoon seems to carry with him memories of frustration and annoyance. It doesn't help that the wrecked ship is swarming with Coven one way and flying molecules the other now does it?
Either way, thank you. c:

Fucking Phantoon. All of my hate. That thing created so much trauma when I was a kid. Fuck his counterattack, SuperMissiles all day hurr day.
Also yea, that drawing is the shit, but I think you already know that that's what I think about most of your drawings :3

Are you kidding his battle was awesome. 
Are you talking his Super Metroid or Other M incarnation? His wave of ghostly eyeballs in Super was annoying as hell, but not too bad if you knew how to get past it.

Super Metroid. I was a dumb kid, I saw the weak point and "OMG SUPER MISSILE AWAY", and if you do that, it counterattacks in a quite hard to avoid way, so I couldn't get through him for a while.
I mean sure, now I know it was cool and creepy and shiz, but it doesn't delete the raeg.

True that. True that.

Phantoon, you thieving bastard. Give Sauron back his eye!

I loved this boss battle, her arm cannon looks a little off, but other than that I really like this picture.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it was an awesome battle.

You're welcome!

The arm cannon seems a bit too far to her right, like it's detached.
Other than that, this is awesom.

Yeah, Samus is like, super sketchy. Thank you though. c:

Anytime. I think I tried drawing something similar once... did not turn out so well.
Also, that awkward moment when you realize you made a typo... 2 days ago.
