So I had recently finished Metroid Prime for the first time in my life last night and felt inspired, so I wanted to make myself a personal recolor of the Varia Suit to use as a reference for future art commissions. I pulled the flat color final concept reference off the Wikitroid article for the Varia Suit (luckily the only one I saw ended up being the Metroid Prime design).
Tried following the color philosophy of cool colors to contrast warm colors, while using white on the outer armaments so it didn't look like a hot rainbow mess. And contrasted the green electrical components with an orange hue. It's a bit smudgey in some places, but I like how it turned out. I'm not used to using digital art programs like ibis paint, but if anyone wants to suggest tips or advice when it comes to finding good color matches I'm eager to learn.
