novabjorn Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Hey Everyone, Just wanted to make a post here for my Excalibur skin. It's a tenno-styled chitinous carapace. I just updated the skin with better tinting and texture tweaks to bring it in line with feedback I had received and my original vision for the skin. Please check it out and let me know what you think. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=547307518 Cheers, Novabjorn Edited November 5, 2015 by novabjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)arshia1234 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Looks like an infested Excalibur I gotta say, this is one of the better skins so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novabjorn Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks Arshia, I was definitely aiming for organic or bone-like, and if it is hitting the infested look then it fits the warframe style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feuershark Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 You totally nailed it Looks like an infested Excalibur I gotta say, this is one of the better skins so far excuse me to ask such question, but can I know the origin of your pseudo ?

Noioiy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I wish I had the cash to afford all these awesome skins. The detailing looks really nice. Like some alien out of the Mass Effect universe. Like a Vorcha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brachion Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Is the helmet a resculpt or a normal map? 'Cuz the Workshop currently doesn't accept anything but textures and normal maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novabjorn Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 The low poly mesh is the original, just baked from the sculpt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novabjorn Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, there are a lot of similarities with the Guyver suit. Also with the Mass Effect collectors. It's funny, neither were intentional. It seems that the image of a 'human' exo-skeleton tends to veer in the same direction, perhaps through the subconscious collection of seeing other attempts or just a mishmash of following anatomy and armor designs.

WingedCrusade Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Reminds me of the Nanosuit from Crysis. Gibe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OniDax Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Reminds me of the Nanosuit from Crysis. Gibe now. No, it really doesn't look anything like the Crysis Nanosuit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedCrusade Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 No, it really doesn't look anything like the Crysis Nanosuit...Well, you replace the texture with a mix of muscle design and metal, and it would. The general shape is what makes me think of it.Love it though. I'm not talking about the helmet though. Helmet definitely doesn't remind me of the nanosuit. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I could see how it might remind you of it in the Zbrush screen, based on the colors, but other than that? Now, a Nanosuit-esque skin would be really cool, though....

Geraion Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Honest to the danglers, very nice texture job, but the helmet looks too skull-esque, and the body too much like an insect... I get the exoskeleton...but I suppose the best way I can describe it is that it looks too relatable..like it's something I've seen before in another game or movie.

novabjorn Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yeah, that's kinda what I was going for, but still maintaining the tenno shapes and overall style. I didn't realize that being different was bad as I expected that with so many Excal skins something different would be exciting and sell more. I'm working on some adjustments to reduce the overall busyness of the shapes and soften them to look more like the other frames. Not sure how much i'll adjust the helmet as I feel those are the best shapes and really define the skin. Hard to tell what to do since there was no feedback from the Devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn11715 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Nice work ^^ damn I hope these skins will be a little cheaper than the original ones, ive so much on my instabuy list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that Warframe has a distinct style that everything is very flowy and metal meshing with organics, were hard stops are very elegantly done (Prime frames), this borders on Grineer style. The theme is fine, but in my opinion, the execution could use some more melding... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Pianoff Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I love disgusting Infested stuff. Disgusting in a good way. This can't be accepted soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novabjorn Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 If you like disgusting infested stuff check out the 'Claymire' : http://polycount.com/discussion/160762/weapon-swap-galatine-claymire#latest It's still early, i'm working on revisions on the Exo-Cal suit first, but i'll have more updates for both soon.
