The next installment of Winging It. Shame about the alt text character limit: I'll have to split the comic in two next time. #Metroid #RavenBeak

A comic.

The scene begins at the checkout line in a Daiban grocery store. Our exhausted clerk stands behind the register in their apron and paper hat, their four antennae drooping. They have a round snout-like upper lip, defined cheeks not unlike a cartoon frog, and a soft, downy neck. The clerk is skinny in build. A rack of average grocery store snacks and knick-knacks sits on a shelf to the left of the clerk.

In the second panel, the scene is the same as before, but a long shadow is cast over the humble clerk, whose antennae are now slightly raised. They look perturbed.

It's Raven Beak from Metroid Dread. He's approximately 13 feet tall, draped in a long cape, and towering over the clerk in a rather imposing manner. His face is hidden behind an ornate helmet, his red eyes glowing in the darkness. The top of the clerk's head can be seen center-frame on the bottom of the composition.

We get a top-down perspective as the terrified clerk gazes straight up at the imposing customer. Their black, beady eyes are large and wet. Their antennae droop pathetically, and they're sweating bullets.

We cut back to a front-facing perspective of the clerk behind the checkout counter. The dramatic lighting has dissipated, and Raven Beak's groceries are sat on the counter in front of the clerk. We see a loaf of bread, some leafy vegetables, and a tall beverage bottle. Cooking wine, perhaps? The clerk's eyes bug out a little as they awaken from their trance of terror: the customer is addressing them.

Raven Beak speaks in a deep voice: "This will be all. Shall we discuss the matter of compensation?"

The clerk looks small beneath him as they answer his query:

"Oh! Uh... 27 seguru for the lot."

Suddenly, Raven Beak pulls his gargantuan arm cannon out from behind his cloak. The clerk's eyes nearly pop out of their skull as they seize in fright: "Yee-IKES!" The shadows upon the weapon are detailed: the dramatic lighting and dark background return.

Samus and Raven Beak from the Metroid series are discussing the grocery store fiasco. Raven Beak is unbothered, but Samus looks mildly annoyed.

Samus says, "I've told you a thousand times, just use the card I gave you."

To which Raven Beak replies, "There is no proper compartment on my power suit with which to safeguard such a trinket."

Samus pauses before responding.
"... See, this is part of the problem."

Hmm. You get #Chozo anatomy and clothing studies from last year. And two comic-related images.

A heavyset Chozo resembling a Shoebill Stork holding a polearm. They're wearing a black and white robe with a swirly pattern, tied below the breast. Solid, overlapping fungus-stem armor plates hang from their sides by the belt. Simple epaulettes sit upon their shoulders, adorned with a winged crest. Their gauntlets are comprised of fungal plates wrapped over woolly animal fur. The tip of their spear is curved, almost teardrop shaped.

A simple anatomical sketch of a Chozo resembling a southern ground hornbill. Their knees are raised close to their breast, and they're clutching a staff close to their torso. This individual has a long beak. Patches of baggy, wrinkly bare skin are present around the throat and eyes. The rest of the body is covered in fine feathers, save the scuted extremities. This individual has long eyelashes, which are speculated to help keep dust out of the eyes in their arid native environment.

An almost colorless sketch of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread fan comic "Winging It" in the kitchen at Samus' apartment. The background is a desaturated light blue, and the lines are black. The only semblance of color in the image apart from the background are Raven Beak's red eyes.

Raven Beak is a tall Chozo resembling a corvid. Fairly muscular, He's wearing an apron with a pocket over the center of the breast. Within the pocket, he carries a rubber spatula and a whisk. long plumes extrude from the elbows on his scuted arms. There is quite a bit of scarring around the eye on the visible left half of his face.

Raven Beak is standing in front of a convection stove with an oven beneath it, facing the left side of the image. The fridge lies furthest from the viewer, on his left but in the center-background of the image for us.

The subject holds one hand on his hip as he flips a juicy slab of meat and some vegetables in a skillet over the stove with the other. A large plume of steam emanates from the dish, featuring chopped carrots and cubed alien tubers with rice to make a tantalizing sauteed bed for the protein.

A flat colored sketch of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread as he appears in the "Winging It" fan comic. Raven Beak is a tall, elderly corvid-like Chozo with red eyes, a grey body, and an even lighter beak. Black plumes erupt from the elbows on his scuted arms. He's wearing blue shorts and a black graphic tee with white printed words that read: "Someone at the state department loves me!" "State Department" is printed in bold Impact font, while the rest is stylized in cursive. The word "loves" is printed over a red heart.

#Chozo eggs and newly hatched baby Chozo. From a longer post I made on Tumblr regarding childhood development. Some notes: the Thiloo are a tribe of mostly penguin-like Chozo and the Hatzu are a tribe consisting largely of ratite-like Chozo.

A combination of three images, all consisting of Chozo eggs. At the top lies a lineup of eggs from four different tribes. Starting from the left: the first egg is a blue Thoha egg, the second two are a cream and mint green Mawkin egg respectively (both with brown speckles), the fourth is an oblong Thiloo egg, and the last is a large, round Hatzu egg.

These are typical examples of eggs from the aforementioned tribes: not all eggs from a given tribe look alike. In the middle of the image, we have the same egg types in a different orientation, also labeled: Two Mawkin eggs (cream/green) on the left, a blue Thoha egg top center, a blue Hatzu egg at the bottom, and an elongated Thiloo egg to the right.

At the bottom, we see variants in Mawkin eggs. The eggs are varying shades of brown and cream, most with brown mottling, and a single wholly brown egg.

A naked baby Chozo. It very much resembles a real life baby bird, the primary difference being Chozo children have arms and wings. The children are tannish-pink in coloration with thin skin and a smattering of thin, wet natal plumage barely covering them. Their eyes are bruise-purple, as they have not yet opened. The corners of their beaks are malleable and yellow, but will change color to match the rest of their beak with time: for now, they are flexible enough for the infants to open their beaks as wide as possible for incoming food, be it meat chunks, insects, nuts, or bits of fruit.

They look wet, pathetic, and naked.

A Thiloo Chozo hatchling. It's covered in a thick bed of grey down and has icy blue eyes that are just beginning to open. Its beak and extremities are black. This baby is lying on its stomach, legs splayed off to the side and wings curled against its torso. This is a very groggy child who would very much prefer to be sleeping.

An illustration of a blind Thoha nestling sitting upright in a swath of bright orange cloth against a blue background. Its skin is dull purple, and it has a dark beak. It is very much unaware of its surroundings.

Patron request to draw #RavenBeak coming out of a thrift store in an outfit he thinks is fashionable. Togas are indeed very fashionable, but perhaps not with the granny couture curtains. It’s a matter of perspective. In-universe for Winging It , a Metroid alternate universe sitcom fancomic. #Chozo

A digital illustration of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread wearing a toga made from delicate light green floral patterned curtains.

Raven Beak is an elderly Chozo who resembles a corvid. His eyes are red, and beak is cracked and weathered.

Offscreen, Samus asks: "Is that the curtain you thrifted yesterday...?" Raven Beak responds: "It is the swath of fabric I procured from the second-hand retailer. It has been reconstituted for an appropriately modest suspension robe."

He is standing against a grey background with one arm to his side and the other stretched away from his torso to demonstrate how the fabric is suspended from his arms and shoulders.

September 2022. Hethepsu and her father, Hohara, attending a festival. One of my first concerted efforts at implementing texture in my work. #Chozo #Mawkin

A digital illustration of two Chozo, a parent and child, in traditional festival attire. Both resemble white secretary birds with red eyes and long dark feathers atop their heads.

The image is bathed in a red and yellow gradient, simulating the light of the sun pouring from the top left corner of the composition. The characters' robes are layered and red.

Portrait exercise from 2022. Left is the original line art and flats, right is the same work after 12 hours of rendering and a Photoshop filter. The anatomy of his thick old man neck gave me a headache at first, but I eventually figured it out. #RavenBeak #Chozo #MetroidDread #Metroid

A portrait of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread. Raven Beak is an elderly Chozo resembling a corvid. His eyes are red, and his beak is cracked and weathered. The portrait is green in color for stylistic reasons: the yellow light pouring from the top left corner of the composition illuminates the back of his smooth, bald head.

This version of the portrait is "cartoonier" and features line art.

2022 remake (left) of a drawing I did in 2016 (right). #MLP #MLPFiM #PrincessCelestia

A digital illustration of Princess Celestia from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic reading a book.

Princess Celestia is a white alicorn (a horse with a unicorn's horn and pegasus wings) with golden hooves and purple eyes, as well as a flowing pastel rainbow mane and tail. She is levitating a book with lavender binding in the air using her magic, portrayed with a sunlight gold aura. She's laying on a rug on the floor, supported by round maroon pillows. Her mane and tail illuminate the surrounding space.

I know there are tons of pokemon fans here, but are there many metroid fans? I know there are at least a couple of us. I tend to focus on ridley, need to draw more of the other characters and critters. #art #metroid #ridley #ing #chozo

Black and white drawing of Ridley looking at Samus' ship at its landing site in Super Metroid.

A warrior ing from Metroid Prime 2. The original drawing has it in the palm of a person's hand, but since I did not draw the hand, it is just on a brown background here.

A picture of Ridley being rude in a non-murderous way.

A doodle of a chozo dressed in about the bare minimum.

Conqueror in Repose. Started September 2022, finished July 10, 2023. Painted in Rebelle 5 Pro and Photoshop. #RavenBeak #Chozo #MetroidDread #Metroid

A digital painting of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread reclining on a red velvet lounge with a lacquered wooden base. Most of his body is covered in luxurious blue cloth.

Raven Beak is an elderly corvid-like Chozo of fairly muscular build. His plumage has mostly gone gray, though the patches on his elbows and shoulders as well as his wings remain jet black. His beak is cracked and weathered and his eyes are ruby red. His expression is stoic and stately, one arm propped against a velvet pillow and the other resting over his covered knee.

A round wooden table in the bottom left corner of the composition holds two glasses filled with purple liquor, as well as a bird-shaped decanter comprised of precious stone, dark green in hue. A rich red curtain is spread behind Raven Beak's place of rest, delicately embroidered with gold embroidery along the bottom. An exotic potted alien plant is barely visible along the wall on the right side of the composition. The floor is made of stone, marbled blue and green.

Posted August 2024 for Patrons. I wanted to illustrate that #Chozo aren’t just Bald all over, they’ve got a plush layer of down over most of that. #RavenBeak ’s head feels kinda velvety. Thicker patches tend to grey slower than the thinner bits (such as the brood patch, used for warming eggs).

An image of Raven Beak from Metroid Dread sitting against a raised surface. Raven Beak is an elderly Chozo resembling his namesake. He bears a fairly muscular figure and a thick neck, pronounced eyebrows, and red eyes. His beak is cracked and weathered.

He sits with one hand behind his head and the other resting near his left thigh. His plumage has largely greyed, leaving white spots on his forehead, neck, breast, and inner thigh, though his shoulders, elbows, stomach, outer legs and perineum are still black. Long black plumes erupt from his elbows. He bears scars on his scuted arms and legs, as well as over the right breast and the right side of his face. A studded black leather band is tightly fastened around his left bicep, and he wears a matching undergarment with a triangular metal adornment.

bluesky and twitter are tragic websites because I can't post the full length of my #Chozo speculative anatomy headcanons in one straight go. I don't know how many images are allowed in one post on bluesky, and I'm almost too afraid to find out. Tumblr has spoiled me with a hearty 30 images per post.
