It would be a shame not to be able to design helmets with a hood because Nekros has a hood, but it's true that it's very difficult to change the silhouette of a hood.

A few differences I can see when comparing this helmet with Nekros' original helmet is that this one's a bit more round and arcs downward in the front instead of upward. I'd first try to put more emphasis on the elements that make it different from Nekros. The syandana looks like it has some wear and tear, but the hood looks pristine. Perhaps it's a good idea to add some of that wear and tear to the hood as well.

Personally, my biggest problem with the helmet is the 'face.' It feels empty in comparison with the rest of the skin. Something I think could be really cool is to model the face like a scorpion, liberally of course, and have it protrude a bit more. The legs of the scorpion would mirror the skeletal design of the chest. The pointy 'beard' would be the scorpion's tail and stinger. Also the fact that he doesn't seem to have a neck really throws me off.

I hope my suggestions can be of some help to you, Dragon_Lord.

There are plenty of ways to change the silhouette of a hood, just look at Ivara, I'm not saying throw out the hood completely, maybe just change it to a hood with an actual egyptian shape. (flat at the top and loose at the sides)

don't mind him, it doesn't matter much, plus the entire rib area make it obvious it's inaros, this looks friggin great and hopefully will make it into the game <3

I think you could realistically recreate and compare Tennogen skins to other Warframes incredibly easily due to how nebulous their consistencies are. Judging it based solely off of 'what you think it looks like' isn't an inherently functional opinion, as the majority of people appreciate the aesthetic of Nekros and might want to experience it in separate frames.

I recommend maintaining a state of open-mindedness in terms of these different designs, as in reality it just means more effort was put into it than your average cookie cutter skin.
