#protoframe design

[doggojin]

Some protoframe designs I made some time ago and I'm currently working on more, hehe <3 (feat @thatfluffyboi 's boi Sol with Chanho oops) Meet Chanho (He/him), Vale (She/they), Adélart (He/him) and Adèle (She/her). Last two are siblings hehehe! Invented names for all of them as well, Chanho's from Hangoku (South korea), Vale from Vitalia (Italy) and the siblings are from Fraterce (France) but are mixed Koreans

I would like to address the rumor that I only designed proto-Grendel and Gauss was to draw them kissing. This rumor is TRUE! >:)

warframe nation how are we feeling

[sevastiel]

Who's sleep? Anyway, Protoframes :D

Dante and Mycea, (With Flash and Bang) the latter being one I'm cookin' up for funsies.

Obvious fungal designs, centered around severing the techrots connection to the hivemind to gather pieces of information. Previously a virologist, went to Hollvania to try and see if she could find a cure. It didn't exactly go as planned. Greatly inspired by a convo/ideas from @ thatfluffyboi ! :D

Duo image for school project below cut, aint much different

Gotta ask the question, if your drifter was a protoframe, what frame would he be?

Woah! That’s a very good question, and I’ll answer it with two options ;)

Among existing warframes, I think he’d definitely be Nezha! …though certainly not because of his twinkiness lmao. Drifter is very focused on protecting those around him and himself: he’d prefer to keep enemies at bay (like running circles around the console in m. defense with fire walker active, just staggering enemies ahaha), shielding himself and others with warding halo. And if an enemy does manage to get close, the spears definitely won’t let them through—assuming anything’s even left of them. Besides, in keeping with the Zenurik philosophy close to his heart, all these elements leave room for battlefield control and varied tactics (provided, of course, you don’t restrict yourself to the game’s limitations). And the gradation between playfulness and monk-like seriousness in Nezha’s movements perfectly captures his character ;)

If I were allowed to design a non-existing warframe for him, then purely from a gameplay perspective, he’d definitely be someone focused on heavy crowd control and supporting allies by taking damage in their (allies') place, forming some kind of bond with them. Fast design idea sketch (he's very fond of long sleeves hehe):

Some toughts while looking at the concept art of Amir Beckett Original is here for your viewing pleasure: Liger Inozuka ArtStation

I wonder if he still has the nerve endings to feel anything with this fingers. He uses them constatly for gaming and hacking and make no mention of pain, so I think he either feels nothing or just force.

Fashion KING

So they are slowly getting more and more infested and changing to the warframes we know. T.T

We have the same 90s taste bby Transparent plastic was and still is elite design

Not gonna lie, I'd have loved it if the goth makeup stayed :D

The blending of flesh to armor due to the infestation was much more prominent in the concept stage, wonder if they will go there more with the new protoframes we'll be getting!

OK SO

y'all know how Valkyr goes completely deaf except for the sound of her claws slicing through enemies while in hysteria? (which is audio design I fucking love btw its so good)

Valkyr protoframe who has to be calmed down and told the fight is over through sign language (or just general arm waving) bc she literally CANNOT hear you.

Doodle dump of Elo and @gruvu 's boy Nami!! I love them so much your honor.... but now I gotta get back to work.

Enjoy the brainrot and the happy little kids while Nex suffers.

Those attending TennoVIP at Gamescom 2024 got a special first look at Koumei & the Five Fates: the next update coming to Warframe this fall!

Eagle-eyed Tenno will recognize this as our cleverly named "Unannounced Fall Update" which was first discussed at TennoCon 2024. Unannounced no longer, this update was officially revealed as Koumei & the Five Fates alongside a brand-new Warframe and a new Nightwave Series with Stalker-themed Drifter and Operator customizations.

Jade Shadows fans can look forward to filling their Arsenals with some excellent equipment related to the brooding protector. This Nightwave Series will launch on September 3!

This latest rendition of TennoVIP also included a look at the new Volt Deluxe Skin, which will be sprinting into Koumei & the Five Fates later this year. You can see the new design for yourself below!

While not a part of Koumei & the Five Fates, TennoVIP attendees also rounded out the evening with a look at a different upcoming Warframe: Cyte-09. This tactical talent — whose related Protoframe you may recognize as Quincy from this year's TennoLive demo — will arrive with Warframe: 1999 this winter. However, those at our Gamescom community event got a first look at his design in-game for the first time! Now this latest sneak peek is available to the viewing public at large.

Last but certainly not least was a gorgeous new tease featuring Lettie — the Trinity Protoframe — as depicted in the upcoming Warframe: 1999 animation by The Line. You'll get to know more about The Hex's stern medical expert much as the months roll on, but for now you can enjoy this latest look in our first Production Diary update!

garuda protoframe for fun, her name is lipeta ft. flare ... full picture unda the cut

You know, now that you’ve mentioned it on my amir post. Amir’s scars around his eyes on how you said that salt water is more conductive. It also just hit me that when you have a high friendship rank or partnered with him, Amir lets his guard down around you and trusts you a lot (the drifter) and cries, and he cries a lot actually in the conversations you share along with him that are extremely personal or traumatic. 🥺

Aahhh…just. This man needs all the love seriously! The realisations…heeeccck.

Yes. ;_;

I’ve spent untold hours analysing the chat flowcharts, visual character design and insights, cutscene expressions, everything.

I am absolutely feral and playing into the sillies but Amir makes me feel so many more things beyond that.

There’s a reason one of the first posts I ever did (and apparently it’s still the most liked post) on this blog was about the side of his that really shows up when he comes into the backroom. The side of his that he slowly unravels as he trusts the Drifter more. There is a reason why the dialogues where he opens up about his problems open up the path to dating him. And why lack of support means he’d break up with you.

I still wish they kept at least some of the Tennocon preview mall quotes because the brain hug quote and Eleanor talking about Amir being one of them live both in my head RENT FREE.

Also while for example Lettie’s retelling is also terrifying, the way Amir describes his experience, him needing two tries to tell the full story (first try he stops before he tells the story of turning Protoframe), the sheer spectrum of trauma and terror in his retelling of the events made it feel REAL. And the emotions I felt were just as real.

DE LET ME FUCKING HUG HIM AND THE OTHER HEX I BEG OF YOU.

I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS MAN IT’S UNREAL.

[faecatastrophe]

THIS. IS. SO BIG.

The implications are staggering. Infestation itself says that protoframes are built different, they won't fully turn - at least in the mental aspect - due to Entrati's design. Tells us something about Doctor's plans.

Protoframes aren't just temporary tools. They also aren't meant to just be backup warframes for the drifter. They are long term.

Why did Entrati do that? Is it because as he said the greatest weapon against the Indifference is love so he wanted to give Drifter a group of people she could love? Does he maybe also want to use them as a new fighting force - warframes without the issue of limited amount of Tenno -, perhaps to get to the Tau? Something that is confirmed to be one of his goals.

This is so exciting really.

Frost dilf is one thing, but the Nova protoframe! She's so cute, and the design choices??? The nova legs reading as baggy pants??? And the stickers??? And the charms???? Oh my goodness she's the prettiest girl alive. First time I'm buying a Gemini skin
