It’s like “retro” and “Metroid,” y’see…
During The Great Retro Art Expeiment of 2017, I wanted to push what I was doing, and tried to make it seem as though the viewer was looking though Samus Aran’s helmet. I utilized the menus from 1994ms Super Metroid for the Heads-Up Display features, as Samus was getting ready to return to the mysterious Planet Zebes.
And as a joke, I threw Sector Z from StarFox in the background.
The space background is a NASA stock photo, with the texture for Planet Zebes and its satellites pulled directly from game graphics. Same with Sector Z.
