So overall I like this, but a couple things that bug me
Firstly, is the internal helmet not modifiable? Because the horns, specifically, don't look like they fit the horns of the external helmet. They're kinda striaght and then hook around at the ends, while the outer helmet's are curved but unhooked.

Secondly, there's not enough distinction between the pelt and the inner frame, imo? Chroma sorta wears an outer layer that he shed, but the way the skin looks right now it just kinda looks like he went on a diet to lose weight or something. I think there should be some kind of distinction between pelt and central frame, such as more cloth/spandex-like texturing, or switching around the tints on the inside so color on the outer pelt does not correspond so precisely to the inner.

Hopefully this is helpful feedback for you.

correct, the inner helmet isnt something you can change. it is what it is.

And yeah I know what you mean with inner/outer frame, however I personally like to keep my tint channels consistent. If you are really keen on say, an orange primary color it would be annoying if that orange color would end up being dominant on just the base model.

There's alot more cloth on the underlying frame, but in the end I felt the underlying frame needed to look ok on its own and not just some guy running around in pyjamas.

you cant "add" things to the body. no extra parts, no emessive/flames etc.

Absolute total shame.

I like your choices of that kinda "leather and shiny polymers" look, which does suit (Ah-ah) the whole Graxx theme tho, and that biohazard suit look in orange is really cool. Yet I would like to know what you'd think of an idea of a more "over agressive" appearance, some more sharp edges, more metal/gory parts and all (like the ones used on your Graxx Zephyr model) to get further away from that "running in pyjamas" effect too. But hey, that's still an amazing work you did there, and still WAY better than DE's messy original model imho.

Hope that helps, keep it up ! :)

i want a thinner body for chroma to give him less bulk

adding sharp shapes on a mesh thats mostly organic in the way its laid out is not great overall, the original mesh for chroma is super ...melted-candle-ish. So when we amke tennogen we need ot try to follow the shape of the flow.

So what works on say, vauban dont work on chroma in terms of stylistic choices. It's all about finding a way of forcing a style onto something that wasnt originally designed for that style.

Allright then ! I get what you say and... Well you're clearly the expert. At least I tried to get this warframe a more aggressive look x) I mean he's a dragon, and I tend to think that melted-candle mesh, as you perfectly describe it, don't fit such a legendary threat.

Ty for your answer ^^

Emissives are the glowy spots right? Can't skins move those around and/or reshape them, or am I misunderstanding something?

I'm just wondering if Faven abandoned the maze lines "camo" that covers GRAXX-Volt, Rhino, Nyx, Ember and Excal.

I think he mentioned that Chroma's model is already super busy and adding more detail would just make it noisier.

As a chroma fan i really wanted to say how much i love this skin, but i have a question to ask when you change your element does it change the colour of the flames. Another question is does the particle effect also change for the different elements, for like fire it comes out as straight up flames but for like ice mabye like a mist, and poisin would be like green bubbles and then lightning would just be lighting arcs

This absolutely fits Rhino as a Graxx skin, mainly because of the horns. Chroma is quite a dragon-ish look, perhaps some large fangs might fit? Still im wanting this to be approved despite my opinions

I love your work faven.. Follow your style. Maybe add a bit of those curved lines that the other designs have .. give a touch of distinction between the skin and the inner frame.
