HitsuSan Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 1 minute ago, Larsurus said: Put a cap on it! Be wary though, Excalibur's horn is the most prominent part of his identity, like Loki's hammerhead and Frost's flat top. Doing something radically different that alters his silhouette too much might take away that identity. Many frames don't have their identity revolving around their helmets, but I would say that Excalibur is very much the opposite. Excalibur without a horn is not Excalibur. You may think that the helmet has something to do with it but it doesn't. The bigger distinctive points are the shoulders and the back. The horn varies so much that in some helmets doesn't even look like a horn. I might end up putting back some pointy parts in a different shape though, who knows :D For now there's no horn and it still looks like excalibur, just not the helmet... but my helmets never looked similar to the original ones :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novolunos Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hitsu, do you have any solid ideas for Cal yet? Like textures or anything? I feel like Cal for you would have scales, metal, or leather involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitsuSan Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 He's definitely going to have some metal ;) Enough to make you forget you can't have Excal Prime anymore XD (for the unfortunates like me who don't have it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, Umbra is soon we can all at least look forward to that. Metal huh? Will it be closer to Hagoromo and Alata or Visage? Or will it be it's own awesomeness unlike those we've seen? Cal seems like one of the harder ones to be creative on since everyone had done him and because he has a simple design to begin with. I wish you luck with working on him.

The pointy thing on the front of his head plays a major part in his visual identity and it might be risky to neuter him completely, however cool a hornless Excalibur may look. He is the poster boy after all. That's just my opinion though, I wouldn't mind being wrong and I look forward to seeing whatever you come up with :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a poor girl! My wallet can't take this kind of strain. That and we know it's going to be mind-blowing. Isn't it always? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickshotMcGee Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 If the skin has a direct reference to King Arthur, I'm gonna be a happy person. I don't even have Excalibur, but I might cozy up to Simaris to get him if the skin looks good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitsuSan Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Maybe :) But judging on how you guys are talking about it seems like you're not expecting anything even close to what i'm doing... which makes it way more fun! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit sad there haven't been any made yet, but it gets me a lot more interested in seeing what you've got planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitsuSan Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Oh i'm sure they've tried and realized that Excal doesn't have any armor and it was going to be very hard ^^ still not challenging enough for my taste though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! personally the single horn was getting old, i would like something different. i just hope with the metal you're using on the skin can still match up with the excal prime helm just a bit.

Uhm maybe just a bit. Don't expect any compatibility though, my skins are always way different and the lines and details won't match ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitsuSan Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Oh sorry to hear that! Well Depending on the colors you will choose it might fit good enough though :) we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evanescent Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I wonder, Hitsu, have you considered playing with the position of the horn? Like shifting it to a side to have an asymmetrical look, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novolunos Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That's it. Take my money! What little I have should be wasted on snacks, inspirational doodles, and whatever else I can give with my poor girl wallet to make this happen. Oh, unrelated, but will he have a hat? My two nerd friends are debating on if you'd give him a hat or not. One says no and the other says Fedora or the Sherlock Holmes hat (I don't know which one is worse to be honest.) This ended with them throwing hats at each other, from different sides of the living room, pretending that they were dangerous explosives. Also, just asking because I'm odd, not that you really have to answer though. After Cal, if they don't release any more new ones, would you most likely do a male frame or a female frame? (I'm preparing myself for the war on my wallet) Or would you be taking a break from the skin making business. I'd understand the need for a break. Seems stressful with all of us putting our hopes on you for it to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Akuma_Asura_ Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Waaaa he's become so famous . Grats hitsu, btw I would love something for Valkyr or Mesa one day . As for guys please do Nezha justice in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitsuSan Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 @Evanescent Yes! It is something i've considered but i didn't even tried yet to see if it fits, we'll see. @Blood_Poppy: Nope! @Espelonia: XD You know... you don't have to get all of my skins at once... i'm pretty sure they're not going anywhere. About the hat... who knows....? XD Nah, people will rise if i make another hat wearing skin (especially so soon after Visage who's still getting the angry post on the workshop page on a daily basis), but now that you've mentioned it i want to make a fedora wearing warframe! That would be awesome... Anyway you're not odd Espelonia ^^ The answer is Male, for sure another one and maybe a third one to be balanced with the ladies. I don't see any reason to stop making skins unless i get some very interesting freelancing jobs (that might happen every now and then) but i'm definitely not going to stop for more than one or two weeks cause i need a break :) This is very relaxing actually, i was doing concept art before and it was way more stressful to come up with tons of ideas every day instead of a just solid and very defined one and spend all the time to make it extremely balanced, detailed and refined. @(PS4)Akuma_Asura (sorry the forum sometimes doesn't work how it should): Thanks :D (famous? lol yeah i don't think so) One day! I don't make any promise, Nezha would be very cool though :D i like him (not so much the fact that's super slippery....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm better at owning with him then ...er...dressing him...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
