So this afternoon, ~Poopgoblyn and I hiked from the wilderness park at the end of Victory all the way to Calabasas. It was kind of an accident. We thought the trail went in a loop, and as we went over a hill and spotted the electrical lines that ran along Los Virgines Road, we knew we'd gone a bit too far in a single direction, and needed to turn back if we wanted to get back before sundown.

We trekked back in good pace, and I was able to hold myself up the whole time...until I set foot in my car. Something jostled, unraveled, and my butt got so excited getting placed on a cushy carseat it popped my calves. So I'm walking with a bit of a limp, and was stuck at home tonight.

So, when I'm usually confined to my room, and have a wide open schedule, nothing comforts me better than finding a beautiful set of lines. This is the first time I've done a piece for *muju, and I really love the detailing and flow of all the images in that gallery. I highly recommend you all check it out! Compliments of the #color-me-club, I give you guys a very beautiful, full-body rendition of a very unique interpretation of Samus Aran from Metroid.

She's the original Nintendo tomboy. It wasn't even revealed that Samus was female until the very very end of the first game. It's one of the biggest twists in video game history. But quite a milestone.

Always been a favorite of mine. And since it's not in her character to have a revealing outfit, this one fits so well because it's either gotta be a full-body bulky tank with shoulderpads or nothing at all.

I really like how this one gives the suit kind of a sinister look. I pushed for the suit to have a monstrous quality to it, as the very thing that protects her and becomes her greatest asset has the tendency to become her own worst enemy too.
