Well, there's more than that going on here, like the 'straps' and the robo-abs. It's lacking a subtlety I've come to expect from the bio-tech warframes.

Wait skins have to be lore friendly? Thats not a requirement, and if it is, its extremely lenient considering already existing skins.

If it would more match to the Corpus, then I would vote for "Yes", but it caused me to vote for the opposite.

I just feel like it doesn't fit into the game.

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE IT it looks like corpus but the color from the grineer TAKE MY MONY

There are actually style guidelines for these things; for instance, skins can be themed around Corpus, Grineer, Tenno or Infested stylings, with each having different guidelines, but I believe abstraction of the face (i.e. no eyes or mouth where you'd expect them) is a fairly big one. Granted, the rules get bent or barely scraped by here and there, from what I've seen, and I honestly don't know if an opaque yet familiarly-shaped helmet face would count as abstracted or not.

Overall, I would guess they'd judge this too contemporary or something like that; design sensibilities have changed between present day, near future, and the point in time where Warframe takes place. Although certain retro-styled skins have been accepted, these still tend to be rather more elaborate and fanciful.

That's all just my two cents, though; you can check out the style guidelines for yourself somewhere on the official site, I believe.^^

@Hazukichan:
Exactly my opinion.

It is not a bad job, design-wise, but I feel it is very inconsistent with the warframe basics.
Not meta-organic enough, if you catch my drift here.

It just looks like it belongs into annother sci-fi realm, with a different style of tech.

Just my two cents.



Edit:
I just realized, it looks extremely similar to my Champions: Online mech-themed hero, back in the day. Just too similar to be comfortable to be in WF.

Doesn't need to be lore-friendly. Take a look at some skins accepted in the game , I don't think that dragons are in the game's lore. :D

Um actually there's a Dragon themed Warframe....

There is even a title named dragon, so I kindof feel that dragons are lore-friendly

This is actually lore freindly, there was a game already made by DE called dark sector, the precursour to warframe and it featured tech just like this and even the name of the Tenno comes from the name of the main charcter "James Tenno". who became the first ever warframe (excalibur) so it could be included!

Chroma.

Also, dragons don't need to exist for one to make something that looks "dragonly"
They're a concept, a part of human mythology, and therefore a part of our history, no matter how obscure they may seem in the time of Warframe, and clearly, due to Chroma, it's not too obscure for the Tenno to dream up.

This skin on the other hand doesn't look like anything else in game except maybe a couple tennogen syandanas. I'm not going to vote for it, and since I only play with people I know, I probably won't be seeing it around even if it does come through.

Not to say this isn't well made, but it just feels too blunt and lacking nuance for what I've come to expect from the game.

Well as many of us state in one of the other discussions around this skin it looks like Vauban a bit, so to say that it doesnt look like anything in the game isnt entirely true.

Well I didnt even know about this game, but your right. As I looked into the game I realised many things was the same like for example the glaive, and they even have a skin reference already in warframe. I however cant find exactly what this is in that game (but again I previously didnt know of it at all).

I thought it was Hayden Tenno? At least, that is what I've read people deciphered from the Orokin script on the side of Excalibur's helmet. Also, there is some ambiguity on the matter, but I believe DE themselves have stated the games are not set in exactly the same universe... similar ones, perhaps, but my own personal guess is that they don't want to worry about people saying "This doesn't make sense given what we saw in Dark Sector" when they add some new content or backstory to Warframe.

If we extrapolate a bit from that and go "Well, it seems probable that a period with design sensibilities similar to those seen in Dark Sector may still have occurred somewhere in the rear view mirror of Warframe's own timeline", then perhaps this skin could make sense as a nod to the people and ideas of bygone times, just as the Nikana reminds us of a katana from feudal-era japan and countless other weapons have their own obvious or obscure inspirations in pre-space-flight human history.

The more I think about it, the less sure I am, one way or the other.

It really doesn't fit the game's styles.
