I'm sorry, but I disagree wholeheartedly. His art is good, but it's not what I think "Warframe".

[5H4DE]

I'd rather keep his designs as deluxe skins tbh.

[YazMatazO]

A very Moral Kombat-y feel from Ash.

Garuda looks a bit too much like Inaros. ^{I really do like to forget he exists.}

Doomslayer Rhino. 

Not bad at all. 

[Dhrekr]

I personally think that Geoff is doing a fantastic job. The new art assets, in general, are just beautiful. Weapons, tilesets, everything.

 

There is much more to "art direction" than designing an edgy Ash skin.

[KnossosTNC]

I dunno, a little over-designed and monochromatic for my taste. I prefer more restraint and more varied colours.

But to each their own. They are for Deluxe skins, after all.

I love his style deviating from the usual Warframe's "ceramic + some ugly looking plastic you will inevitably color black + some extremely clean and shiny metal + glowy parts" material set.

But proposing him to be a leader of art direction is a bit of an overstatement.

the Ash skin is kinda nice, has some Assassin's Creed vibes, with maybe a little grineer influence, not bad at all. I still have the Koga and Bai Hu skins which I love, so may have to pass on this one.

the Garuda Skin is pretty good, if the brassy looking parts are actually metallic, there's potential for a great faux-Prime look (which should suffice until Garuda Prime)

the Rhino skin though... EWWW! I get what the artist was going for but it looks like a decomposed Rhino to me, sorry but I would never use that as a Rhino Skin, Palatine and Blade of The Lotus all the way.

[FlusteredFerret]

Nope.

The Ash design is too Assassin's Creed looking IMO. The Garuda Deluxe is nice - definitely has an Orokin feel to it, but not keen on the Rhino at all.

I personally like frames with more of a futuristic look to them. Not averse to a bit of elegant medieval styling, but this is a sci-fi game, after all. For example I really love the Volt Proto skin and Rhino Scarab.

Just because a Tennogen designer has some good ideas, doesn't mean they should head up the entire art department. I trust DE to know what they're doing...and for the Tennogen guys (and gals?) to bail them out when they produce some ugly / vanilla designs.

Unpopular Opinion : All Deluxe Skins are awful and bad 

[iLightning13]

But that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[(PSN)Hikuro-93]

Because his taste is similar to yours, it would seem. Therefore the art director must be someone who designs futuristic, corpus-like designs. Because that's my favorite style within the game, along with Orokin stuff. Even though I like items from all other styles as well, such as Ash's second deluxe. Not a fan of the other two though.

I believe DE should allow tennogen artists to make deluxe skins too, i've seen so many cool concepts around, that sadly won't ever see the light 😞

[LSG501]

Honestly I wasn't that keen on his ash skin and the rest doesn't really fit warframe, it feels more like it belongs in the hellraiser (ie pinhead and co) franchise.

I'd like the Ash skin if it was for Inaros or Nekros, but for Ash.. nah.

[Firetempest]

Dude does some nice grit, very grim dark style.

Established Warframe style? Not so much.

I don’t like Ash's skin. It looks too much like a ninja uniform and not enough like a Warframe.

For Garuda, since it’s not a 3d render, it’s hard to tell if the skin will look good or not.... but from I see now I prefer the Successor skin from the workshop.

For Rhino, I don't really play that Warframe but yeah not bad.

[DeathDweller]

The Ash skin screams Inaros

[Vlada91]

Just now, DeathDweller said:

More like sith lord

[Sahansral]

He‘s not bad, but 

 

In Geoff we trust.

[Sabremouse]

It's quality work for sure. Takes the ornately baroque style of orokin design and runs with it. A bit too organic in form and busy with details for my liking. Hard to imagine being applied widely across the game without toning it down. The art of WF has a diversity of looks to the different factions and they already do that well.

[KroneVanguard]

I'm not surprised to find Elizabeth Shaw from Prometheus/Covenant in there... Great works anyway.

[-Kritias-]

The new Ash Deluxe skin looks more Inaros like

[SirTobe]

It's cool art, but like other have pointed out, it feels too noisy and doesn't fit very well in the game. I'm not a big fan of many deluxe skins to begin with though. 

[White_Matter]

I love his art style, and I'll 100% buy that ASh skin(hell I'll buy any ash skin we've only had 1 immortal, 1 deluxe and 1 tennogen so far) but his style doesn't 100% represent WF to me.

Ash looks awesome but doesn't look like a space ninja.Rhino looks slimmer and I love the design but he lacks the thicc boi look which is a defining look for rhino.
