For all the gamers out there.

One of my old friends recently asked if I could paint him a picture for his AV room. After talking with him, I learned that he wanted something atmospheric and realistic (relatively, of course). That is not something I have done in a while, so we compromised and I was going to paint the subject he wanted (Metroid stuff) in the style I wanted (expressionist inks). But as I painted, I was having so much fun painting real light and atmosphere that I went all out. This is the result. I have to thank my college painting instructors for this one.
