So...about Ivara and Equinox

Why does it seem like their respective skins fix each other far more than them?

Ivara's skin has the duality and asymmetrical designs that have been core on Equinox, even the colors make it look like Equinox's unified form instead of a skin for a Warframe, yet....it's for Ivara? Why? In the same vein, look at Equinox's skin, the design of the sleeve and the little frill on the skirt, those look far more like a duelist-style design, something that Ivara's Robin Hood theme fits far better than Equinox would ever do.

It truly looks like DE completely confused who to give the skins to and i truly can't wrap my head around why this is.

The skins are well modeled and textured but I have to agree that the ivara one is not as good as I hoped. I really expected the Jade Sin Ivara Deluxe to make it in but it didnt. I dont like the 'abs' she has look even worse than Hildryn's and I dont like those too. I see there are cloth attachement on her rigth armo and leg and I Hope those are an armor set that can be reomved. Her left leg has a really pointy knee which I do not like, her arms are fine. Her helmet looks big like way big and I see no archer theme there but I do like the energy coming fomr it but it looks more for gara.

As for equinox she looks like a futuristic schoolgirl, looks so clean and elegant and girly, the high boots scream anime for me. Its not bad its not good we will know when it in the game, same goes for ivara, its WIP but lets hope they do something we are not seeing right now

I initially also thought that the Ivara Deluxe seemed to fit way better as an Equinox skin,
but now after some more work done and the energy parts being added compared to what we saw at TennoCon,
plus not least some actual lighting, I'm pretty on board with that one, feathered hunter, yeah alright, looks cool.

So, the Equinox Deluxe Equilux might also end up a step above this hopefully-not-final render, let's not Despair quite yet.

Equinox Deluxe doesn't look done yet. Ivara deluxe looks waaaay better than previous teasers we've seen, especially the most recent releases with the class Energy cloth-scraps similar to classic Ivara finally added. It doesn't look super-much like Ivara (understandable with her Prime slated for the not-too-distant future), but it looks awesome and I am almost certainly going to pick it up on release.

I made a thread about this pointing out how some deluxe skins look/feel frame-swapped when considering the frame's abilities and default animations:

Prepare to be told why anything goes and you're just entitled for expecting some consistency between the frame's deluxe skin, its abilities, and its animations.

Deluxe skin are “reimagine” skin of warframe, that anyone on the dev or outside made, that the dev like and want to develop. It doesn’t have to follow the original frame theme (like prime frame). it doesn’t have to follow the frame timeline.

ivara deluxe is made by the person that create ivara. He might get the idea of asymmetric dual color from equinox as you mention or he might get the idea from medieval crossbowman uniform.

i like to think it was the later (since there seems to be a small crossbow ornament on her leg)

as for equinox deluxe skin. Keep in mind that one is still underdeveloped and feedback subforum is available

This again?

As stated previously, not all skins fit the theme of that particular frame (Limbo, Gara, Ember, etc).  Personally, as long as it looks good I could care less.  Imagine how Mirage and Hydroid players feel with how bad their skins are.

There’s a Gara skin? O.o

Asymmetry alone doesn't suddenly make something more fitting on Equinox. Ivara's own base design even features asymmetry with how she stores arrows thus the asymmetry in her deluxe is appropriate.

And I don't see how Equinox's deluxe, which seems to be going for an angel/demon aesthetic with an eastern twist, would look more fitting on Ivara who's an archer frame that looks like a tree frog.

 

If you don't like them then don't get them, this has been the same song and dance since we started getting deluxe skins. Not everyone is going to like every skin.
