What inspired the Warframe designs?

[Fifteen]

I'm curious what inspired the various Warfame designs? Is Trinity descended from a lobster? Is Nova part fighter plane? I'm not even going to try to guess what inspired Rhino!

I'm curious what you guys think. Let's put our minds together and try to figure out DE's creative process!

yeah, they are all inspired from culinary specialties ;)
but seriously, ask DE's designer why does they look the way they do.

Like with all artists, they draw inspiration from stuff they see in real life.

Take for the example, the Azima.

I'm sure someone walked into the office supply closet one day and noticed this,

I know for one the Deluxe skin guy knows several cultures like the back of his hand.

My guess would be the Guyver. The Warframes, (specifically Excalibur) looks kinda fleshy. That's just my perspective though. I'm sure there are other examples.

tbh if you look at old to new warframes, you can really see how they art style has changed

That crossed my mind as well. And we're even fighting Zoinoids!

I'm not sure what you mean by that. I haven't encountered anything that can come close to a Zoinoid (but that would be pretty badass to have something that challenging to take down in the game!)

Someone call up Platinum, we need them to make a Guyver game! xD

Whoever it is, their designs keep getting better and better. Been leveling up Nekros Prime recently and I absolutely love his look (hated the non-prime version). Those wings make him look like an angel of death whenever he's flying through the air.
