Hildryn Haters Ho-down

[Rays of Apollo]

What do some of you specifically dislike about Hildryn? All across the forum, people consistently say that Hildryn is ugly and any sort of variation of that. While I do like her aesthetic and beefy femininity, I don't like people speaking in her defense because "the devs worked hard on this thing and you shouldn't [general statement that would convey dissatisfaction]". There are those that find her yoked feminine form unattractive; that is completely alright and has nothing to do with what others think of their femini/masculinity. Those people are getting♥♥♥♥♥♥on enough as it is.


I want to hear from the ones that find her design out of their favor. I think that the details put into her frame are dope. Her helms are cool and flow effects all around her armor are really appealing to me. Anythings like this that rub people the wrong way?

[Shard of Manus]

Her front is ugly, so I use Rift Sigil and Targis Prime chest. After that she looks and plays amazing. Super OP. :D

[Totally Innocent Chatbot]

Not a fan of the "beefy, muscular female" concept myself, but aside from that, I personally feel like DE did a terrible job actually trying to make the frame look "beefy" or "muscular" in the first place. If anything, Hildryn looks morbidly obese, with some low-quality and unrealistic lines drawn on her fat to make it look like muscle.

[Rays of Apollo]

If anything, I will say that her "breasts" look the most out of place to me. I know that in reality something similar to this will happen. But on this frame, it looks like the top of her breasts are being squished. I absolutely hate it lol

[Sekhriat]

I don't mind the overall look too much. But if I'd like anything to change, it would be how they did the muscles on the abdomen. Looks really weird in my opinion.

I like the idea I suppose, in terms of the skins tennogen creators would imagine for Hildryn. Especially the Graxx series of skins and the Blade series. So hype.

I really couldn't care less about appearance on this one, not only is she probably one of if not the tankiest frame in the game, but she can become helicopter

agreed, I would have preferred they commited to the almost entirely machine aspect of her

[PeripheralVisionary]

Actually, the machine aspect would make for a great Copra skin.

[Walrus-Sama]

I think her appearance is fine, more or less. I even like the obnoxiously stupid amount of abs she has (It's like 7-8 pairs, lol).

My problem with her appearance, however, is that the rest of her (arms, back, upper chest, lower legs, etc) don't have the same obnoxious muscle look. It looks like plate armor/flight suit. While I understand why she has that, I personally would have prefered a more consistent muscly appearance.

If you're gonna make a character super obnoxiously jacked, you may as well go all out. Like, JoJo levels of bulk.

Ooooh. I'm real excited to see what players are gonna come up with. Too bad they aren't allowed to make too many changes to the models.

hildryn but instead of thrusters she has the weird king k rool helicopter pack from smash ultimate

[PeripheralVisionary]

I think a leaner model would have been much better with less bulging muscle mass, rather than short and stout mass of steroid induced muscles as we have here. She looks a bit similar to Rhino, but whereas Rhino seems covered in plates, Hildryn seem overwhelmingly muscular, and this is incredibly offputting.

In particular, her legs are especially horrible. My suggestion?

Emphasize the cybernetics of her cyborg nature. Perhaps make her less human and more robot, or outfit her with hydraulics.

[Rays of Apollo]

I like the robot aspects a lot. They should be more pronounced.

[Outsider]

She's plain fat and ugly.

[Tashrinbackup]

If her from was a bit smoother and more flowing she'd be perfect. Still look strong but not strangely.... buff. Not against women having mucles. They just tend on average not to look like they are stuck between a female banner and female hulk status.

[Pakaku]

Model appearances don't really bother me. All of the stock-standard warframes have weird odd deformities, and it just seems like Hildryn is more noticeable because of her big design.

I think her colour scheme is a little creative, but I don't personally like it. Good thing we can change the colours, at least.
