Well, you have my vote if you going to send this idea to DE.

The second one looks a lot nicer as it stands like a race horse ready for a high speed run

I originally conceptualized her with bladed heels, but one of the imagined kit perks I had for her was a fast base running speed of either on par with nova or faster than Loki, but the race horse legs she has now would work better with that perk as I imagine it would be hard to run fast in heels

looking over those concepts the heels would look out of place

there are frames that have them.Β an idea I had when he showed me this was angling the bottom blade and re-positioning it to look like a bladed heel, but I'm still satisfied with the outcome of this.Β I'm still going to try and finish my concept rework I might even roll in enough dough to commission Kevin Glint to take a crack at it or find some other artists, only time will tell

yeah but the blade heel thing just would not fit with this high speed model

I love the hoof legs and the head tentacles (that's not likely to get in simply because it's a head syandana and would get in the way most likely) and the idea of it basically being a Mimic of some kind (akin to Blue Mage/Reploid[Axl] for Final Fantasy/Megaman X, I think) is pretty cool. I'm personally seeing this as a possibly new type of stealth too: turn into an enemy, but you have to 'be calm' or the enemy will become suspicious or alerted, but otherwise you could walk past a Butcher and be like 'hi carl' and then walk into the Spy vault.
Abilities from enemies (and allies) would be a bit harder..., or rather, more selective. For allies, I would guess it's just gonna be their 1 or 2 (or maybe Scylla's 1 does the mimic, and then her 2 and 3 are the 1 and 2 of the ally she copied) but that'd be something of a nightmare to mod for. Equally for enemies, some enemies just don't have anything of note, like butchers or lancers, though you'd have everyone running around copying nullifiers if your nullifier bubble could cancel out the original nulli's bubble's effect. Eximus would be the next most copied enemy due to their blast wave or cold bubble, followed by ancient healer for healing; there's also the manic and the one butcher offshoot with the twin basalks (sp fail; I'm not bothering to look it up atm). Heavies would just give a ground slam (very weak Rhino Stomp), and Bursa might give you a number of options depending on the type... Now Stalker... being able to copy him and his Dispel would be great for getting rid of his other ability usage. Stalker uses absorb? Scylla uses mimicry and then uses Dispel. Stalker is now vulnerable again.
I don't even know what her 4 could possibly be, but I would hope it would be something not 'bound' to her mimicry, at least not in the sense that she has to have used her 1 to copy someone to use it (like I would expect her 2 and 3 to be 'locked' behind).
It'd be a developmental nightmare I'm sure, and would would definitely have a high skill requirement and some RNG/strategy to be used to great effect (RNG for 'good' enemies to spawn and last long enough to spot and copy before teammates slaughter them with a room nuke), but this still looks great! One of the most alien designs I've seen since Nyx Carnifex skin and Nidus!
P.S: thought for 'regular' fodder enemies like regular crewmen and lancers: the ability to lure (ivara arrow) or patsy (guaranteed rad proc so all the others attack one guy). Thought inspired by what you can do in the [Prototype] series when in a military base as a military guy.

May I ask, whatβs the concept behind this frame?
π: 0 β©: 1
She was originally an octopus/cephalopod themed frame, designed by me, that had some abilities themed around such creatures (original concept here ).Β then I started a rework of her appearance and abilities, with the newer frames having far more obscure of a theme, it seemed necessary.Β Then I realized without the artistic resources and clout she would basically meet the same fate as the old concept, so, after trying Kevin Glint and realizing he was too expensive, I commissioned ChickenDrawsDogs here to make a concept of my idea.Β The final product was this (check the description to see her reworked kit, if interested)

Interesting, very interesting. I donβt know if DE would accept such a... suggestive design, considering how the game is intended for all ages, but other than that I really think it could get into the game if you were to contact them.

I would disagree with you on the "all ages" part as the game can get rather gory with weapons that have a high enough slash rating (there is an option to turn it off, but its presence wouldn't be conducive to all ages), and have you seen Saryn, she's the fullest-figured feminine frame in the game.Β However, ever since Saryn they have gotten far more ambiguous with the perceived genders of the frames.Β they may refer to them as he or she in the profile videos, but in all actuality they may not even have a gender.
Unless we're talking about two different games, are you thinking Warframe has Elves, Dwarves and magic, because it doesn't (well not elves and dwarves, at least at the time of this post).Β Warframe is not World of Warcraft.
I will try to contact them, they have seen my original concept a while ago, but its been a long time... Will still try, though

Certainly quite a different look for a Warframe.
That ass, though...

also, just found the old thread on the forums .Β I thought it was taken down, but it would appear it was just archived, so no replying to it, but yeah that was her old build
π: 0 β©: 0
Β Amazing work.Β It was money well spent. now, I just recently thought of another commission I may task you with is an illustration of a select group of forms she takes with a part of her first ability that I call anthropy.Β I think I'll get them written down first, put them up on the forums.Β think of Ivara's Quiver, only instead of different arrows its different transformations, I may have told you about them, but I don't remember
