A little question
As the Helmet is really nice... Is that just an helmet switch style, or a full skin ? Because I don't see a great difference with Mag Prime's body style :o I'm maybe full wrong, all cases, great job !

The body seems to have kept most/all of Mag's default sculpting. What changed is the texture type (metallic, leather, matte, etc) along with the color channels. The only completely unique thing is the helmet.

Judging from the description that Master Noob put, saying it's an old piece with some adjustments, I believe this was kind of made to be intentional, probably to keep within the Warframe's aesthetics as faithful as possible. It's all my assumptions and theories here.

That way, you can easily combine the helmet with other Mag skin, such as Prime and default, without too much mismatch, even with the Deluxe skin thanks to the metallics that are more prominent with this helmet compared to her default. This will probably be true on the opposite end, where you use the body of this skin with different helmets.

Ok, thanks for the answer. If you're right on this, an d I assume you probably are, so I hope he will fix that... Because, I find it better as a lone 'helmet skin' than 'body skin', if the body is too near of an existing skin.
After all, it is my only opinion.

And miss out on a high quality body skin? Hell no.

The body skin was attached to the helmet since a body + helmet skin can range from 5 to 7 USD, while a solo helmet is 6 USD. A common suggestion I had for my last helmet was to add a skin of some sort simply to introduce more customization options (like immortal skins) since the price difference is so little.

As for changes from base mag, almost every area covered by the second tint (shown as green) are additions I made in the form of armor plates. These are easiest seen in the sketchfab page where mag prime's body is present for comparison.

Other than that, Mura is on point; the skin is primarily there to justify having metallics present to match up with all of Mag's variations.

Okay, you made me reconsider the fact that the very customization, even if it is little, is noticeable. In more, I cannot load any 3D item with steam, but with this description it seems to be such a nice work for the finish. +1 for the item ! :D
