The artist did an amazing job. Now if only Hydroid could get that prime love and and remove his fat legs. 😂 I love the Deluxe skin but it obviously costs plat to get and this is one of the few primes where I feel that it's look is actually worse than the base one (Talking about the helmet obviously, the body is ok) 4 minutes ago, (PS4)watt4hem said: Ash's prime design is based on samurai armors and helmet. This one looks like it's based on razor blades. Still looks good tho His entire kit is about blades: shuriken; teleport with backstab, room stab; improved bleeds with passive;D Edited December 13, 2016 by Denpoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smilomaniac Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 My biggest issue with the current Ash Prime are the color segments and how awkward he is is to color in general. He reminds me of an egyptian, but the overall theme is probably insect/arachnid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, Ash in general is hard to colourize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 so, instead of shrimp face samurai, you suggest spider face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only "bad" thing about the deluxe skin is the fact that is doesnt go well with the original helmet as the pbr textures look akward with the normal ones. Once they add pbr to ash, or the carabid helmet arives my live is complete. Edited December 13, 2016 by Dawn11715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually yes, it would be much more appropriate whilst keeping in tone with the original prime concept (insectoid look). My problem isn't that he looks like an insect/gastropod but like a freaking shrimp. Edited December 13, 2016 by Denpoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligatorno Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) That design looks quite bad in my humble opinion. Too spiky, too edgy, not too orokin looking. Most of the primes look really elegant and well designed, this one doesn't fit in with the others. Edited December 13, 2016 by aligatorno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mints Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Primes are supposed to look regal, golden, and represent the self-deified Orokin aesthetic. Perhaps they didn't want their defenders to look menacing or malevolent in a Frame like Ash. In my head I envision an Orokin as a Daimyo with Ash Prime serving as a warrior retainer. In that case Ash Prime's look makes perfect sense, he looks dangerous but not overtly menacing. Other Prime frames display this type of image like Saryn Prime evoking the look of a domesticated snake and Nekros Prime being vaguely priest-like. I wish we knew more about Prime frames like why they were scarce during the Old War and why they're rare now. The Warframes produced to mimic the Primes clearly exist in much greater numbers and are much easier to produce. I speculate that the Orokin gave Primes to the Tenno that acted as their bodyguards and enforcers while Tenno that purged the infestation or fought in the old war were forced to use subpar technology to construct their weapons/warframes. Anyway, back on track, just wait until Ash Umbra. Maybe it'll look more menacing than Ash Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think primes are rare exactly because of the war, they where gradually destroyed and so the Lotus and the Tenno faction started to produce more streamlined, cheap frames to compensate their loss.

Some people like fan concepts, I find the majority of them hilarious and should only ever be added if Warframe turns into a comedy game. Just like they went with Nidus instead of Typhus ... because Typhus sounds ridiculous. It's like an illness you'd catch as a child. Again, some people love the fan concepts, not all of us though. Personally I like Ash Primes look. That drawing looks like something a young fan of Guyver would draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teadude Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I really like how prime ash turned out design wise. It stuck to the more japanese shinobi kind of theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
