Samus is hot but wish we'd get normal things with her. I know there's a couple of normal scenes where she is getting dick down by humans but there's not many of those and they are usually shorter ones.

Samus is fucking boring, bland and overused, same as Elizabeth from bioshock.

We don't do that here. Most of 26RegionSFM stuff involved monster with huge dick.

I really like what this artist is doing overall. However, some of my favorites from him are in his smaller animations (the "non-movies" length ones) like the Cassie Vs Orc one for example (I'm a fan of MK11 Cassie SFM in general lol, love her model).
However, I noticed something weird about the Samus videos, or rather the "Samus" model he's using for his Samus videos. I don't know the context, maybe there's a reason for it outside of mere artistic / personal preference on the part of the author (which I would 100% understand if that's the case).
So the thing about that Samus model is that it's... well, it's not Samus.
I have actually played most of the Metroid games in the franchise over the years and the model he's using, her face (not to mention her breasts, obviously; but mostly her face) has zero appearance in any of the recent (or any of the 3D) Metroid games where Samus' face is portrayed. Be it Samus from the Prime series (1, 2 and 3), Hunters or even Other M. At first glance one might say that there's at least some resemblance with at least the way she looks in Other M... maybe, very slightly (for the facial structure maybe).
I made some research on the actual character that woman is based on, the one he's using as "Samus".
It turns out that it's actually Sarah Bryant from the Virtua Fighter franchise.
So this, merely out of curiosity, begs the questions:
Why is this artist passing this model, or rather the videos where she's in, as "Samus" especially in the names he's giving to those videos? I mean... it's not Samus. At all. If anything, it's Sarah Bryant cosplaying as Samus simply because she's wearing the skintight Samus suit. He never titled a single one of those "Samus" videos as something else like... let's say... "Sarah gets boned" and would just leave it to his audience / Patrons to use their imagination in just pretending that Sarah "is Samus", when she's not, fully knowing that she's cosplaying Samus.
I just don't get the focus on "This is Samus" everywhere she shows up. The author himself must be aware that the model he's using is that of Sarah Bryant, I mean c'mon (don't seriously tell me he believes it's Samus?).
Anyway, I know this might sound like a complaint, but it's merely an annoyance, really. I DO like what he does on a technical / animation level. The actual model in question for "Samus" isn't bad at all, for being Sarah Bryant, with very large boobs (that's not the original Virtual Fighter Sarah boob proportions but whatever, big boobs for the heck of it I get it). And I do like most (although not all) of the videos she's in. But I am just genuinely baffled as to why this author has been continuously hammering this idea that he's making videos with Samus in them when he's not using a Samus model to start with (and there's a couple of actual Samus models out there to use, be it models based off of Other M or even based off of Smash Bros Ultimate).
If anyone actually follows this artist on Patreon, and if he ever maybe explained why he's been using Sarah Bryant all this time for passing her as "Samus Aran" then please let me know, I'm curious enough to wish for an explaination on this, it's just baffling me.

...It's not really a big secret, everyone was struggling to find a good Samus model a couple of years back. Good luck trying to rip if from recent Nintendo games, the ones that were released looked like ass.
You must be registered to see the links
just decided to use the Sarah Bryant model from DOA5 and slap a costume on her, turns out she was a perfect fit for the character. It's been refined over the last few years and I think it's probably the easiest one for animators to work with. Her Brawl models and Other M ones just look cartoonish and outdated, personally I like the Sarah Bryant version of her the best. No one's really trying to deceive anyone, as Lord Addvark is almost always given credit for the model.This explains a few things.
Maybe a 'few years back' it was tough to find a good Samus model, but we're 'now', and I'm seeing a pretty solid number of Samus models being used by a lot of various SFM / Blender artists out there.
To name a few:
NoName55 (using one of the best Samus models in my opinion, not sure who actually made that model though)
Wanksy (who seems to be using the same model as NoName55, but perhaps with some variation to it)
Lesdias (probably the same model as Wanksy)
Bouquetman (seems to be a unique model)
AdeptusInfinitus (another one which seems to be unique)
Urbanator (using a Samus model on a very stylish and fit body structure with very large boobs)
NecDaz (another one which seems to be unique)
Ambrosine (most likely using the same one as NoName55)
Meltrib (seems to be a unique one)
ArhoAngel (seems to be a unique one)
Mellewd (another unique one I think)
And I'm missing a bunch.
Now, I'm not saying that all those models look amazing (some are though, in my opinion). Also, some of them are used apparently just for 3D rendering (no animations), so maybe some of them aren't rigged or "animations-friendly". Also, some of them look like they were built from the ground up by [some of] those artists, or others not mentioned in the list above, so sharing those models would require permissions and so on.
The point though is simple: there's a bunch of very good-to-decent Samus models out there today. We're not a "few years back" anymore. The majority of artists doing stuff with Samus are in fact not using Lord Aardvark's Sarah Bryant model. Most are using models that at the very least have a face on them that happen to actually be that of Samus Aran, be it models good for animations or not.
Now here's the thing. And maybe you didn't read it in my post but I don't want to pass like a complainer.
If Lord Aardvark simply wants to use that Sarah Bryant model as "Samus", that's fine. Really. I'm not being sarcastic. That's his choice. And if he has been using that same Sarah Bryant model for years because a 'few years back' it was tough to find a good Samus model but over time he decided on keeping that same model, even though now actual good Samus models are available, then that's his choice. Fine.
I DO like his work, most of his short and long length videos are good (not all, but many of them are). And I actually DO like that Sarah Bryant model. That, too, needs to be clear here. I'm not complaining about the fact that he's using that Sarah Bryant model. I'm simply curious as to why he's making it pass as Samus Aran. She's not Samus Aran, lol, she's Sarah Bryant. I mean, it's easier to recognize the name Samus, or I don't know, really. I just don't get why. That would be like making SFM for Mortal Kombat, finding a character in DOA who might have some resemblance to Kitana, taking that model, and slapping Kitana's costume on that DOA model and naming the next video "Kitana gets boned" when it turns out the model is Kasumi. I don't get that. I just don't. Just say it's Kasumi, we can work the rest in our head for suspension of disbelief. No? That part, JUST that part is the stuff I just don't get.
I'm not saying it's deliberate deception. It's mere incomprehension. I just don't understand why he's using that model and naming his videos and describing themes as "Samus" when, in fact, it's plain and simple not Samus Aran (and that doesn't remove how good the videos actually are, nor does it mean that the Sarah Bryant model looks bad per se; just saying... it's not Samus lol, that's it).
Anyway, let's not delve any deeper into this.
I'll just conclude that it's all subjective and a matter of artistic direction and preferences.
You are way overthinking this. Most people I would think do not care, it's 3D porn, not a blockbuster film with fans foaming at the mouth that it isn't canon.
Why use another model now if all of your subscribers are used to the model you've always used and have refined. They clear like it, they wouldn't subscribe otherwise. The risk would be too great to all of a sudden change because it isn't 'really' samus...

Like I said there are other models out there, the Smash Brawl and the Wii U ones but those look really cartoonish. Lord Aardvark's fanmade Samus model has been tweaked and refined over the years and is well received.
Don't really know what the issue is, it's like reading a Naruto doujin and getting upset that the characters don't look exactly like the ones drawn by Masashi Kishimoto. Noname55 and Ambrosine use the DOA models as well, people like the model and it's popular because she's really hot. I just think you're out of the loop in regards to this, the model is well made, easy to work with, and freely available. If 26Region stopped using it I wouldn't sub to his Pateron again for his Samus content, if you want to only fap to OG Samus models then you should start subbing to the Patreon animators that use it.
No point coming onto a 26Region thread and typing a wall of text about how it's not comprehensible to you because you're too fixated on the authenticity of the character and acting like this is some big hidden secret.
Wow wow, ok. I really triggered some of you here. And I'm the one being pointed at.
Most of my 'message' is being misunderstood. Either I didn't word it well (but I did), or people don't read well, which is something I have no power on. I'm actually complimenting his work outright. The first sentence of my first post is complimenting him. I say that I love most of his videos. I say I actually like his Sarah Bryant model as well.
Now obviously this cannot be discussed here since not only am I not being understood but you guys are going to explode at this point. Better let everyone cool down and move on. It was nothing. If there's a moderator reading this feel free to delete everything I typed in this thread. There's no room for discussion here. I apparently offended more people following this guy than hardcore fans reading the same anime since the past 20 years of their life.

No-one is offended... it's just no-one can understand why you'd bother writing an essay for something so tediously trivial.

Who's triggered here? No one has replied to you with profanity or vitriol. In fact, we've answered your questions but you seem to be fixated on the model and it's lack of perceived authenticity. Nothing we can do to help you with that here, best to find a creator that suits your preference.
