Ciao! I’m Riccardo, Pennaz on the internet. I’m an Italian guy with a big passion for comics, animation and videogames.

I’ve been uploading goofy cartoons on the internet since 2008, I love to create my own characters and stories, but I also enjoy making fan animations and parodies of my favorite games franchises, one of those is Metroid.

I completed my first Metroid animated project back in 2012, a 4 episodes series based on Zero Mission, it was a great experience for me and, to my surprise, was enjoyed by many people on YouTube.

Apart from a Christmas related short I didn’t do much with Samus in the following years though, mainly because I wanted to focus more on creating my own original cartoons while working hard to improve my animation skills.

The announcement of Samus Return and Prime 4 really made me want to go back to the series.

…and what better game to start animating the bounty hunter again than Fusion, my very first Metroid game?

This is a really personal project to me as I’m making everything myself: story, animation, editing, even sound design and music.

Since I began working as a freelance video maker my free time hugely diminished compared to when I was a student; being animation a really time consuming process I’m not sure when I’ll manage to finish this work, still, the project is steadily growing frame by frame and I’m feeling more creative than ever! I can’t wait to share it with the world, in the meantime here are a few screenshots and a clip from the cartoon!
