Ridley in our Video Game Character Art Collaboration
Ridley the old archenemy of Samus Aran joined Super Smash Bros. finally in 2018 which was a reason for us to include him as one of the choices in the tenth FGE Project round.
Shinragod claimed him quickly for this project and drew Ridley in his standard design he has in the game.
