Unpaintable parts?
This is probably the best Excal skin so far, but from the screenshots it seems that there are unpaintable parts. It may seem like a small thing, but Fashionframe can be unforgiving. May I suggest making them paintable?

the bigger problem might be that the gold parts are unpaintable which might mkae DE say it is too simular to Prime warframes.
i don't mind the none painteble part nor that they are gold, but DE might disagree considering his other skin got critisized for having leather straps although it is one of the best skin corrently on the Tennogen shop

Having more paintable parts doesn't mean it will look better :) It actually can easily make it worse cause you'll have less variation while if i make it like this you have that variation by detault. I generally spend weeks trying to find the best way to color my models so you can be sure that whatever you get is one of the best combination possible ;)

Gold parts are paintable actually...

can you make a Skin like this one for Loki?
Hitsu San  [developer] 10 Jun, 2016 @ 7:12am 
I can do a different skin for Loki as good as any of my other skins but i don't know when ^^ That's the big problem... he's not the next in line almost for sure at this point.

can you do one for chroma or is his pelt still unable to get a skin?

Aw man, this would be perfect if it weren't for the uncolorable gray parts, oh well. I look forward to your next project! If you reconsider the uncolorable stuff, I'll get it for myself and my excalibros tho.

No reconsideration :) But let me know if you change your mind, maybe if it gets in the game and when you see it on your warframe on the preview :P

are they?
by your examples for custom colors it looked like the gold part near the sholder seemed to be none painteble gold...

In literally every screenshot the metal parts are of a different color, yes they are paintable ;)

Well, it's not like the pics of your other stuff have made any significant change from when it's posted on the site to when it's in the game. It looks nice, but not nice enough for me to shell out money for non-customizable pieces, especially when it's stuck on a drab gray that doesn't go with everything. No reconsideration, no purchase. Sorry. If your next stuff is better or doesn't contain as massive of areas of non-recolorability, I'll buy, but having it be the whole midsection and knees is a big turn off. Like I said, maybe your next one will be better <3

I'm sorry to hear that but still give it a try when you see it ingame, i can guarantee you that it works better this way but i can't make you like it if it's not your taste, i get that :) I guess i can't make something that 100% of the people are going to like but i'll keep trying ;)

Oh, of course, and by all means that's fine. I'll give it a look-at but as it stands, it clashes too much for me. If it's not a perfect 50% gray and even then, it becomes annoying to pair with any other color. Like I said, I look forward to your next project whatever that may be, but if I'm going to be blunt, if I wanted to have an Excal skin that has massive non-recolorable parts, I'd stick with the Excalibur Proto skin, at least with that it's just Platinum and I can grind it out for friends as well. Guarantees are impossible in the art-world when it's a subjective statement about how something is better, especially when you're the creator of said thing you are making guarantees about. I like your stuff, own your Mag skin, tempted on the Nova skin, but both of them are massively recolorable in comparison to this. Just like any other game, I'd sacrifice a feature or two if it meant that I would get more customizability out of it.

Good luck on your next skin!

Ehm... no actually ^^ Visage has the exact same amount of non paintable parts that Caduto has, they're just white and almost black grey instead of dark grey and almost black grey.

Anyway :D thanks!

Oh, looking at it again, yeah, it does have it, but it doesn't seem as clumped up in one massive area like the Excalibur skin. I'll just take your word on it and say that the temptation is no longer there for the Visage now D:
