Love it!
I'd had expect it to be more like a moose/elk horn, which I find would look dope on Oberon, but that's cool :)

Both being Canadian, I'm sure both I and DE would get a kick out of that.
That being said, you've given me a good idea for another Oberon helmet, which kills me a little bit. Apparently my fate is Oberon forever.

we would be ecstatic for that, as far as i know there are no Oberon tennogen skins out and he will be in need of good helms in the near future

[(PSN)TwilightGrim]

there is 1 skin up that looks very awkward, would love to see a skin up if you ever find yourself in that direction

*ALSO TOSSES MONEY @ SCREEN.  I wanna see this in the tennogen store ASAP. <3

No eyes is actually a rule for tennogen. 

 

This helmet looks sweet but the glowy  bits on the Hemet look too much like eyes which could cause problems with selection for tennogen

Hitsusans Excal skin has "eyes"

The Caduto skin? Those don't look like eyes at all to me.

[Wrum]

BAAAAAAAller.

[(PSN)jFresh215]

I love it and ill probably get it regardless but the horns are a bit big

I've wanted Oberon to have a topheavy head to offset his delicate arms and legs for a while, so here we are I guess.

This is a drawover concept from the base mesh, the actual sculpt will be worked on if I see enough interest in the helmet. So, let me know what you think.
I'll maybe make a larger thread later if I end up designing more helmets, whether there's enough interest in this one to see it through or not.
Note that there are still some possible changes that I can make to this in the final sculpt, such as where the horns connect to the head.

I want to spend money on this please DE

There currently aren't that many screenshots because I'm still working on the helmet's model. The pictures posted in the original post are rendered drawings, to help judge interest, and I'm working on the model for it now.

Once I get the model to a more suitable quality, I'll create a turnaround gif of the model so that everyone can see it from all sides.

Now those, those look like eyes for sure. Maybe it was an old rule I was told or I was misinformed, either way I just wanted to make sure that Wordyburd would have the best chance to get in, and from what I was told eyes were going to get you passed over. If I'm wrong I'm wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I appreciate it, and I don't think you're entirely wrong. The style guide for frames specifically reads, "On helmets, pay special attention to the front and make sure to avoid placing details in the exact places where you expect to see an eye, nose, mouth, etc. While some of the in-game designs vaguely hint at facial features, the goal is to heavily abstract the “face”. "
Some tennogen helmets have tried including things like mouths, eyeballs, or ears, and those are, I think, what DE wants to avoid. The goal is to be organic, which is something I'm still working on getting in, but to remain suit-like; eye-lights are fine, but organics aren't.

Either way, thanks for the concern on my helmet. I'm glad that there are others who want to see this get through.

Not to mention, the "eye lights" aren't really where one would see eyes on a ram.....

True but they were about the right location for a human wearing a ram themed helmet.

Like the design but if it was submitted right now I could really see DE rejecting it saying it's too big. Not that I'd mind, but just guessing what DE's feedback would be.

My goodness, brutally awesome, love it!

The primary issue I believe size would present is whether it clips into any shoulder armor. Oberon's antler shoulders tend to come quite close to his head, and I'm not sure if it's something I can get around. My current fix is elevating the head and squashing the horns a little bit so that they might not touch the shoulder spikes.
Otherwise, despite being an over-the-shoulder shooter, Warframe keeps the player character to the left third of the screen, and the far left quarter of the screen when aiming. Based on some testing, this helmet shouldn't present a visibility problem.

you are forgetting about shoulder swapping though (default binding H). I'm assuming they are equidistant for the purposes of the camera but if possible you may want to double check it, weirder things have happened in warframe.

It's been a little and a couple iterations since I gave you guys an update, and Oberon Prime is officially out, so let's do this.

I got a little frustrated with trying to copy the biomech style guide of warframes, so I kind of went nuts and this is what I've got now.
I've lifted the head and horns above the pesky shoulder antlers that are on Oberon's classic model. I can try pulling the weight in on the front of the horns to compensate for the loss of mass towards the back.
I've tilted the head downward and shaved off a good deal of the nose, to give it more of the sleek streamlined feel that frames are supposed to have. Gives it a kind of Capra Demon look too.

I'm still working out the center of the face and chin, but I want to gauge what people think. Was the helmet with the snoot before better? Do the horns need more weight? Is it too organic looking right now?
Thanks for sticking around and commenting guys, I want to make sure that this is the kind of helmet people want to have in the game.

UPDATE!? YAY! Loving the new snout, and the base noggin sure does look sleeker, the horns are looking less orgainic.

Still eagerly looking forward to the day my goat can wear this kingly visage!
