Volkovyi Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Good Day Fellow Tenno Art Archive Forum Thread - https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/306863-volkovyis-artwork-archive-update-jan2815/#entry3476853 As time goes on an interesting pattern has emerged amongst the release of Prime Warframes. Each new Prime of course is fancier in terms of building upon the original Warframe, and of course that is expected. As an artist makes more artwork, they get better with practice. But then the older designs begin to look lackluster in comparison, which is also expected, but nothing to be sullen about. The first two Prime Warframes, Excalibur Prime and Frost Prime, have no visual body differences from their original Warframe counterpart. Helmet designs do not count as those are always a given, but I mean in terms of their armor. Below is my suggestion for perhaps an upgrade to Frost Prime's design, Frost Prime is chosen as our favorite Warframe. We do not plan on including Excalibur Prime, or others, into this thread. Consider a compromise that such an armor upgrade could be optional for Frost Prime users, to be taken on and off like armor attachments. Version 2.0 With so much discussion over this topic, we were inspired to create a better version of our original idea. Please note that the custom parts were painted over screenshots, and mirrored parts are implied. The back coats, and arm exhausts, are supposed to be mirrored. Thank you to everyone who has taken interest in our concepts. Front Back Side Custom Parts Only Front Back Side The Redesign envisions a spot for a 4th color tint on Frost Prime, AND a Metal Tint slot. We wish for this arrangement on all Primes, to expand on customization. Not removing existing patterns and designs to replace them with another colored material. Inspiration Material Examples - These images represent some elements of design that were the inspiration for Frost and Frost Prime's design. Version 1.0 50% Opacity Discussion Topic We would like to take this opportunity in this thread to invite fellow Frost-enthusiasts to talk about Frost's overall ability rework fairly recently, in comparison to both Excalibur's and Saryn's reworks. We feel that Frost's rework was the beginning of a good idea, but it also felt like it was not enough. In comparison to the great success of Excalibur's rework, and we must admit Saryn also now feels a lot more fun and powerful, Frost seems like so far he could have been offered more in his abilities. For example we still feel that Freeze and Ice Wave are redundant, perhaps combine the two, have Ice Wave leave behind a trail of cold and be able to freeze enemies, remove Freeze and create a new ability altogether? Frost also has a much higher than average armor rating, he looks like he would be more sturdy and immovable like a glacier. However he has no way to benefit from his own abilities besides hiding inside Snow Globe. What are your thoughts and ideas for perhaps elevating Frost into a true heavy duty battle mage, above his usual role as "Globe bot?"

Zirion_Bk Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I like these changes. It's not too much new stuff, but there's enough to make you notice it and make Frostie look more primey. Well done with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyDarkling Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This.. is actually really really in-line with the rest of Warframe's stuff. I am impressed, and I fully support this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Censium Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think Excalibur, frost, and Rhino prime all need a touch up in a way that doesn't mess up it's original design. But still keeps it up to date. I like this. It looks amazing, but with out messing up it's feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknow99 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Excellent. Not too edgy, but enough to keep his design as cool as the other primes. (His design is really old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyv001 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Give it to me. I need this design in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquirmyBurrito Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It took me a sec to realize that that wasn't a pic of standard frost prime, which I guess means it blends in with the current prime aesthetic really well. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OniDax Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yep. This looks good. But Frost Prime still needs more of a pattern on his torso, and Excal Prime and Mag Prime really need their patterns changed, because right now they aren't like the other prime warframes' patterns. Excal Prime just needs to borrow some parts from Nyx Prime and Loki Prime (the thigh/hip attachments from Nyx and the shoulderblade gold from Loki Prime). He could also use some bigger spikes on his back (just made longer, really). That said, I like this Frost Prime revision. Honestly, imo, Loki Prime is the best looking Prime, and if every Prime could be brought in line with him, that'd be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, imo, Loki Prime is the best looking Prime, and if every Prime could be brought in line with him, that'd be cool. I must agree as of right now, Loki Prime is by far the most beautiful Prime Warframe. He has many additions to his body in comparison to the original. I believe it would be only fair to have every Prime Warframe have the same number of additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBorris Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I get DE not wanting to rework old frame visuals... but Frost Prime needs it, and the changes above do not really change his design, just add gold stuff to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelanich Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 All of my yes. Although, I think something else must be done about his legs. They're so fat, even Targis Prime leg armor is clipping with them! Plus those tiny feet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
