Setting

The setting of this short story will be the Ceres space-station found within the game Super Metroid. it is likely that i will only be taking settings from the latter part of the game as i believe that it holds more content for what i need.

Now the visual setting for the station itself takes on a darker art style, using contrasting colours whilst at the same time keeping a subdued tone. This creates a somewhat foreboding and sinister atmosphere, which can be helpful when trying to add human features to Samus that the readers can relate to.


Much of the art style used for the creatures in Metroid is a combination of living creatures mixed with mechanics, creating an overall organic yet cold feeling. This art style can be compared to that of Hans Geiger, the artist who primarily worked on the movie 'Alien'. In fact it is commonly accepted that the movie was the inspiration for the style of Metroid

The image of "Motherbrain" (Above) from metroid can be easily compared to the art style of Giger himself (Below)
