Lair sweet lair

firealpaca + paint shop pro,
I painted this over the course of a bit over a month,
at a pace of one little thing per day.

Kraid and Ridley spending the events of Prime 2 minding their own business at home.
A home which according to High Command isn’t an important enough base to pay attention to since they have no metroids, phazon or their supercomputer anymore, but there are plenty of things to do in a villain lair recovering from previous games.

Kraid has been busy running the place and overseeing the repairs while Ridley was being put back together on Orpheon, and that’s still an ongoing task, but sometimes there’s also time for things like making sure the fireflea hive in the walls of their living room is thriving, so they have free light unaffected by power outages in the base (and at a suitable brightness, as they both see well with very little light anyway, and Kraid has pretty sensitive eyes). Ridley being put back together is also still an ongoing project, but most of what got further damaged in Prime 1 is already detachable and replaceable, so he can mostly do his own patchups and upgrades.
