Silver Torizo boss character
Boss design project for Metroid Samus Returns
In this project, connected to the Auttack project, I had to design a new Boss enemy that would fit the mechanics and setting of a popular recent game. I chose Metroid Samus Returns, as I was enthralled with the world but found unused potential for boss variety.
I started by studying the Chozo statues within the game. I wanted the boss to be an animated statue, and needed the aesthetic to match
I ran through concepts and ideas on how it would function and how these functions should influence and change the design to not match the normal statues perfectly. many design choices here didn't end up translating to the final design
