Drawings from 2AM

My mind goes strange places sometimes.
(The scanner cropped out some stuff on this one. Oh well.)
1. I really wanted to draw something, so I just thought, "I'll draw the first two characters I can think of." And those two characters turned out to be... Rin Tezuka and Kay. Um. Yeah. I decided that Rin would take an inexplicable liking to Kay, and Kay would absolutely not be cool with it.
2. Yeah, I've been playing Metroid Prime 2 a lot lately. From here on, brace for extreme levels of fanboyishness.
So yeah, wouldn't it be funny if one of the Amorbi was a girl, and was super-friendly and apologetic about her brothers trying to eat Samus? Yeah, I don't think so either. Don't know where this silly idea came from.
3. I love reading the Lore in MP2-- especially that heartwarming story about a Space Pirate that was lonely and had no friends (I'm extrapolating that bit), so he tried to make a Metroid into a pet. He'll be recovering basic brain functions in about a cycle.
Also special appearance by Caboose.
4. Close-up on a Space Pirate. Not exactly pretty, but I've never drawn one before. I love how organic their armor looks; at first I thought those spikes on his shoulders were part of his body, but some kinds of Pirates don't have them, so they must be strapped on... or maybe GROWN on... hmm...
5. Fucking Shriekers.
I love the sheer creativity in Retro Studio's enemy design, even if it goes a little overboard sometimes, like it did with the Shrieker. That thing is like a Metroid enemy swiss army knife. It has leaves! It can fly! It can turn invisible! It can shoot tornadoes at you! Buy one today!
6. One of my favorite bits of background info in Torvus is that the little eye-like things on the walls are actually cameras, and U-Mos is using them to keep an eye on you. But even better, those things exist in the Dark World, too-- and they're basically indestructible. So the Ing have had to go about their daily business, pissed as hell that the Luminoth are watching them, but unable to do anything about it. lol.
7. Warrior Ing need more love. I demand a plushie version, or at least a cute chibi mascot version. 
8. In keeping with my slightly bizarre trend of making MP2 enemies look cute, this was supposed to be a couple of Inglets holding tentacles, until the scanner cropped 'em out. Pity; now it looks like they're... um... OH GOD MY EYES.

Master Chief (Halo 4 version)

Finally got around to doin' this! It took... entirely too long. Had some trouble with the chalk; couldn't find any small pieces so I had to work with a big one. Didn't think it mattered until I started taking pictures, and noticed how fuzzy he looks. Oh well.
A lot of the details were lost... partly due to the chalk, partly due to the fact that I set my sights a little too high in terms of how much technical detail a chalk drawing this size can actually have. Below is an earlier version; I removed the texture on Chief's under-armor because, as a friend correctly pointed out, it makes the whole thing look too white... or does it? I'd love to hear some feedback one way or the other.
