Description

Rare Zero Mission art of Zero Suit Samus.
The Metroid Database had written about this art here:[Link]
Apparently found in this video (at the 0:50 second mark):[Link]
The video is 
detailing a competition that is themed around Nintendo. It showcases a lot of Nintendo art. 
This is actually used in the Japanese Zero Mission cover art but was turned into a silhouette:

The Japanese Zero Mission 
[website]  has an even fuller silhouette: [Link]
I tried to look for other places that had this art but I couldn't so I decided to upload this larger version that was basically done just by full screening the video and then screen capping it.
I made sure it was at the highest quality which was at 1080p. Unfortunately, it has jaggies but at least this is art is now available in a way. However, from the looks of the Japanese cover art and website this still isn't the full one.

EDIT 6/8/2017:
I have recently found an older version of the Japanese website, thanks to the Wayback Machine, that actually has sound and movement:[Link] (Refresh if it doesn't work)
Interestingly, due to it now having movement there's an ever fuller look at the previously seen silhouette as it appears before the Zero Mission logo and the Power Suit art blocks it:[Link]
At closer observation I realized that the silhouette had some movement as well.
After some time I found a way to have an unblocked view of it by right clicking on the page and then clicking on the "Back" option until the logo and art disappeared:

Now I had a full view of the silhouette and the movement was only on the hair:

I wish I had seen your work before going out of my way to try and recreate her silhouette using box art as reference. Good stuff!
