fredaven Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 its some sort of droid thing im sure. At the moment the entire thing is a bit to robotic, going to try to massage that away as much as I can in the coming days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncrasis Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) I think that rail feels a little unnatural for Grineer... was expecting to see more bulbous, organic-Grineer-style "flap" shapes. I also expected something really long and exaggerated, would probs be a legit enough reason to avoid it though, dunno what your intentions are for the forms in this piece (besides it being Grineer of course). Hopefully there is something useful in there... Maybe a good time to do some paintovers and/or sketches? Big fan of your work, always a joy watching your threads!

fredaven Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 well the graxx stuff have always skirted between grineer and tenno inpsired. This piece sof ar has many things wrong with it. the bulbous thing usually comes in a bit later. atm im trying to get the base elements in there. And solve them damn ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanescent Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the rails could be awesome with a sort of rusted anchor design, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredaven Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 the entire rails/top bit there I'm pretty confident ill do something cool with. that's the somewhat easy part. Its the rest that's pissing me off:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the rest that's pissing me off:D I feel like Nyx (especially if you're doing the rails) would look neat with scorpion / heavy gunner limbs (that is to say, partially robotic) Maybe have one leg be robotic, with some wires and tubes perhaps running down from her upper back to where the robotic limb(s) start. 'Course, you probably know a lot more about design and modeling than I do, so y'know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Course, you probably know a lot more about design and modeling than I do, so y'know. I guess someone like Trinity or Nekros should get this since they already have some weird ropes (or what ever that thiengies are) hanging out of the head / body. And to fit to the Graxx Theme these ropes (or whate hek that is) should be replaced by wires and and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about moving the mohawk back a little and making the "blade" reach all the way back and make it a hook of some kind. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredaven Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm trying to figure out what makes embers and nyx Mohawks different. There doesn't really seem to be any design choice between them thats typical (if you look accross the alt helmets etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) In my opinion, the main difference is that Nyx' Mohawk, if placed from the front, will reach the very back of her head. Same logic from back, to very front. It looks more like some kind of appendage than a special haircut or fashion attribute (Ember). it also reflects some kind of "lure" or antenna, like you can see on deep fishes or insects. Something to distract your attention, or gathering psychic energy, as she is about to control your mind. While Ember's mohawk is just emphasizing a flame.

I guess if fredaven wants to make a Graxx Skin for every warframe then Mesa would be one of the last since she isn't really popular (and is hard to get so her reputation falls even more).

fredaven Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 yeah mesa isnt top of the list im afraid. a couple of reasons for it. as you say she's not super popular so would take a very long time to ever make the return on that work. esepcially seeing how grineer themed stuff is already niche. Mesa also have a very specific topology (her shape). which basically limits you to what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredaven Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) Front of helmet is a bit simple at the moment and tehres quite bit of normal detail that I will add but the large playing pieces are in play. Got plans for the folded up mohwak but need to try them out not liking the eyes either. Edited September 15, 2016 by fredaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
