Description In Other M the suit just materialized around her, which would either mean it's carbon based with a lot of oxygen and nitrogen elements... or the insta-suit is an incredibly cheap gimmick done to ease rendering.

Fudged the arm cannon a bit, but it's difficult to make it without knowing what the inside looks like. Left the color palette in there after getting too far into the process.

That was cool!

I've been thinking about Metroid a ton, for months now. I'm desperate for the series to come back, and come back stronger. I think it would be best for it to be a reboot, to tell Samus Aran's story in a way she deserves. Her character at this point is kind of...lame.

Building up the details of the Metroid universe, such as how the suit works, would be really cool. I had a similar idea to what you have here - the suit sort of "grows" out from the yellow torso section that is present no matter what suit she has on - even on the Fusion Suit. I figure that's the organic component of the Power Suit mentioned in Fusion.

You're not thinking sci-fi enough. For all we know, it could be a completely alien element. But we do know it originates from her DNA, so it's infused with her, physiologically-speaking.
The suit has actually always been like this, but it wasn't depicted visually until MOM.

Well I'm thinking that a degree of it was technically visualized in the 1st Metroid at the start of tha game maybe|

This sounds too much like magic. Space magic.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic at a glance|

большинство частей быдле дублированы от самых популярных реклам. кроме этого ее плечи и оружия придуманные. мне не было понятно как доспех мог сразу появится из воздуха. там только есть углерод, кислород и азот.

According to official canon sources now, the suit is a physical manifestation of her will, and it requires a high level of mental concentration beyond human comprehension to keep active and functional. This is all prominently seen in Primes 2 and 3, Zero Mission (Manga and game), and of course Other M. It's happened in most of the other games too though.

Anyway, I just saw your inquiring about the suit and thought I'd put my Metroid nerd knowledge to work. Sorry.
Nice work on this, it's very cool how you managed to make the armor put itself together piece by piece.

No sources ever mention what the suit is made of... which sounded suspicious.

Not what's it's "made of" I suppose, but it IS supposed to be a physical embodiment of her will. I mean, once she went into shock at Ridley's return, she was losing control and the suit was dissolving off of her. Sounds crazy, I know, but so is just about everything else in Metroid.

You should make one where she does a "thumbs up" instead.
