Um, it's a kind of sort of decent sprite, but it looks NOTHING like him.

And do NOT sprite in Photoshop.

I think it's pretty good.

And spriting in Photoshop ain't necesarily bad--it is capable of everything MSPaint is, and more, just not more that's useful for sprites. It's primarily a personal choice--and this is a darn good sprite, if'n you ask me.
There is something...

...Greater than your friends...

...Greater than your family...

...Greater than the entire world...

...and it starts here.

*EDIT*

(In response to the Grizby) The general shape is good, even though it's pincers are screwed up (mainly because they are tilted instead of flat horizontally). Also, the texture on the shell is all wrong and it is way too big to be used correctly in a Metroid game.

No, that won't work. It'll mess up the sprite. And he doesn't.. really look fat. Considering body armor and stuff, he seems pretty average size.
And I think you should either lighten the lines between red segments, or change it to a dark red.

On the Grisby, it has gradient shading(not good). I like the shading on the soldier guy but his general shape is a bit pregnant and off balance. ;)

It's supposed to be shades of semi-dark orange with red spiral-like markings. Can someone check me on that one?

The colors are a bit poor, but it's drawn and animated nicely.
