[New Warframe Concept] Umbra [Art Included] Updated: New Abilities

[VexPrime]

Umbra is night/darkness themed warframe.

I made a concept of a male ninja-like warframe long ago and now I restyled it.

 

Here's the original concept

 

Now I decided to make him female, and changed his powers.

 

Here's my first restyled concept

 

Then, I added few colors and changed ultimate's name

 

And in the end I added line work. You can choose concept that you like most

 

So here's something like codex entry:

Umbra - the predator that hides in the dark. She uses shadows as her weapon. Now, her powers were unleashed. Can you handle this, tenno?

 

 

 

UPDATE: New pictures. Color variants and Umbra's back armor.

Original colors

 

Random colors

 

Smoke colors + red

 

UPDATE #2: New art. Kinda manga style

 

UPDATE: another art. It's a short comic this time.

 

Future plans: !!!MORE ART!!!, reworking her abilities, cause current seem to not be liked by anyone.

 

UPDATE: Abilities

 

Grip Dash. Single target ability. Umbra grips an enemy with energy/shadow arm, throws it in air and then dash to it dealing damage. This skill is affected by damage and range mods. Energy cost:25

 

Cloack of shadows. If friend is targeted Umbra makes him invisible. If nothing targeted Umbra becomes invisible. Affected by range and duration mods. energy cost: 50

 

Dark path. Umbra creates a dark portal. If used again two portal becoming linked. Portals stay 15 seconds at rank 3 mod. Affected by duration and range mods. Energy cost 30 per portal

 

Eternal night. Umbra turns into giant black hole that protracts all enemies is radius dealing masive damage over time. Affected by duration, range and damage mods. Energy cost: 100

her 1 should be affected by duration, and range should only increase the waves width, but other than the minor detail i love this idea. 

she looks a lot like female excalibar

[Grimfrost]

Her helmet reminds me of both Shredder(Turtles) and Predator.
Awesome.

Because im freaking dyslexic. I read it as "Shadow Wave. Umbra creates a wave of shadow that's cute in its own way" Im not even joking on that.

[TennoSimons]

Since Darkness is just another invisibility (aside from the property of being toggleable - which does seem op by the way) , 

 

why not make it an aura power (at a higher power cost - whether toggleable or not) which ''covers'' nearby allies as well in order to give her better team utility?

 

Aside from that, like the concept. 

 

*EDIT* - I would also prefer the Black Hole power if she cast it like a projectile, kinda like Ninja Gaiden 3's ''Art of the Piercing Void" Ninpo. 

 

My two cents.

That's pretty cool, i'd like to see it in the game, though i already made a warframe concept which is called Umbra, she's a female alternate of Ash just like Excalibur and Nyx and the first two powers you made are the exacte same that i have in my concept.

i actually think for me 2 and 3 should be switched around

[Hunter126]

so Lotus will explain her and say

"This is Umbra, Stealthy yet deceivingly Lethal

Is it okay if i try to think of alternate abilities

Oh... That's akward, cause didn't seen yours concept ever. And as I said, i did this concept long ago and now I'm just reworking it.

I saw a chibi version of this with Typhus, and I must say, I love Umbra's design and color scheme!

Oh my! Thanks a lot! And yeah, I drew her and Typhus in chibi style. Thanks for finding her in depths of forums :D

Now this would be a stealth frame i'd use! Portals sound awesome, that shadow grip sounds like a lot of fun and BLACK HOLE OF ANGER sounds pretty sweet too.

Also love the concept art, that syandana makes it work.

Hm.. The design is really nice, and the abilities seem pretty cool. +1

..though a quest concept or something similar would be interesting to see.
