Chroma, The New Dragon Frame (Teased In Devstream 45, 46, Tennolive) Anticipation Megathread

[BloodCarnival]

hmm, its helmet has dragon esque mouths. yes i think this is the concpet art for the frame. good find

You're new so I understand. But that art is a fanart to Steve's own warframe that he drew on MSPaint in one of the previous Devstream PrimeTime. But that is not to say that they may potentially draw some elements from it.

not new actually, just a second account. but who knows apparently there is a model that exists for this thing according to a previous poster.

Still no typhus?

i'd like a quadrapedal frame to make an appearance, but that would be unlikely given the usual anthro designs of all the frames since it would require a new set of animations and might be too much for the developer in charge.  i also hope it isn't big, bulky, and slow like  rhino or frost, either.

 

when it concerns playable dragons in a game, i am extremely critical.  i assume draconic forms on second life when i hang out there.

People thought it was guy from Arbiters. 

 

Looks nothing like the Arbiters.

[PookieNumnums]

That's been Steve's avatars for over a year

They said the base colors of rainbow will do it

Fire ice toxin electric viral magnetic gas blast corrosive radiation

Red white green blue yellow purple brown orange black pink

Or something

Or we get only basic four

Colors influence his powers, power ranger dragon.

Ah, how silly of me. haha I shouldn't assume that someone with low post count is new. For all I know they could just have been inactive in the forums. However The model isn't made by DE, but  there are some pretty talented digital modelers on here. And correction, it came from Prime Time.

i see, well thats disappointing. it seemed like such a clear idea. multiple heads, multiple elements. but oh well.

Honestly, I hope Steve's avatar isn't concept art... It looks so...dorky. I never understood why they make these big hammerhead helmets (looking at YOU, loki). It just looks...dumb, to me.

[.Talia.]

Everyone is expecting a classical western looking Dragon, like D&D or Dinossaur looking Dragons. 

It's gonna be a oriental, eastern Dragon. Chineese like Wyrm Prime.

 

Chineese new year is in exactly two weeks, it's a Dragon Year.

well i would hope it would be of eastern variety, this a the space ninja game. but you bring up an interesting point. now just post the concept art

If I had the power to redesign any frame, I wouldn't look at all at loki.

But I would start with a blank canvas with:

 

zephyr - the literal giant bird with feathers and all

trinity - too many weird elements, that don't actually relate, nor specify her identity/powers

limbo - the ridiculous sy fy space tuxedo warrior

[Kulso]

his a the space ninja game. 

Rhino is a ninja amirite?

[Dragon_AV]

And I love them, your point?

[Doriando77]

Rhino is a ninja amirite?

rhino is a samurai. his alt helmet and such. 

[(XBOX)Gray Silhouette]

Rhino is a ninja amirite?

And banshee. And excalibur.

And ember. And hydroid.

And trinity. And nyx.

And valkyr. And volt.

And frost. And mag.

And mirage. And limbo.

And nova. Hell, even loki isn't even really a ninja.

The only "ninja" frame is ash.

This was never a space ninja game with only space ninja frames.

I hope they don't go with a western dragon theme.

Not only is it not reflective of the Tenno's culture being influenced on eastern culture, but western dragons are portrayed as antagonists

I hope not, Chinese dragons look weaksauce compared to European dragons.  All skinny and snakelike.  Weak, for a dragon.

 

But I suppose it depends on what type of frame he'll be.

[Ordel]

Steve's picture isn't concept art of the dragon. It's concept art - not from any particular frame that I know of - that was given to him months ago AFAIK. I could be wrong entirely.

In history, Samurai are pretty much the polar opposite to Ninja. So the point still stands.

eastern style influence genius

[7grims]

Now that I think about it, we have this really ugly syandana:

 

 

I'm afraid that the looks of this frame will end up complementing this thing.

(even though it is an infested syandana... I just gotta a feeling)
