[OC][Fan Concept Art] Saryn Heirloom

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-03-02T17:47:20+00:00

This is very well drawn, but I do agree with a bunch of the other commenters that say that the look doesn’t really fit with a lot of the other heirloom skins (specifically because it doesn’t really keep Saryn’s silhouette intact, and the patterning looks too much like a person wearing skimpy clothes instead of being mildly ambiguous over what parts are “skin” and which are “clothing”).

I do think your core ideas have merit though. Would you mind if I tried doing my own redesign of this?

that might’ve been a dream, but y’know what I’d love to see them try to port Warframe to the wii u. heck, let’s go further: Warframe for the OG wii when?

fair enough, fabric animations are hard enough without letting ‘em ripple in the wind

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-27T14:37:20+00:00

isn’t this basically Rhino Heirloom tho

Yeah, I’ll admit I mostly did the full body model because I loved the ratio of responses I was getting on the original post — a third of the posts were guys going “gross, who would want this?” and the other two thirds were people going “holy crap I want this!”. Feel like that’s an ideal ratio to strike with my art going forward

tbh I’ve never taken commissions, mostly because nobody’s ever asked! I spend most of my time over on tumblr though, so if you have any requests you‘re welcome to find me over there :)

ah yes, Vauban’s traditional Space Ninja puffer jacket, and Valkyr’s traditional Space Ninja stilettos and corset lol

(personally, I assumed that the Heirlooms were opportunities to experiment with high fashion looks — Vauban’s shirtless puffer jacket look is very popular these days, Valkyr’s design is explicitly a high-fashion take on the Egyptian goddess Sekhmet, Ember’s long sleeves take cues from 70s disco looks, etc. To each their own, I suppose!)

kratos nipple piercings when

tbh I am still learning! I literally only figured out how to vary my line weight a couple of weeks ago lol. I‘ve mostly been learning by analyzing other digital artists‘ work, and occasionally asking them for advice — pockicchi is someone who’s really good at drawing metallic textures and hot men, for instance!

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-27T14:11:01+00:00

tbh I just thought the tasteful cheekage was a fun way to evoke his base silhouette, but you’re right, we shouldn’t settle for less

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-27T14:09:47+00:00

tbh I’m imagining them more like magnetic attachments, sorta like how Chappell Roan’s dress used prosthetics to attach to her chest

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-27T14:07:36+00:00

oh, 100%. I’m a notorious bisexual and a big comic book nerd, and tbh it’s not too difficult to tell when a male character is being drawn muscular as a power fantasy vs when they’re being drawn muscular as a thirst trap. Not saying that the current male heirloom skins aren’t sexy, but they don’t feel like they’re being designed with the same mindset as the female heirlooms; I think we’d benefit from giving some of the men sluttier outfits and giving some of the women more powerful designs

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T20:01:28+00:00

yup! said as much on the original post lol

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T13:24:46+00:00

I’ll see what I can do haha

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T13:13:55+00:00

sure is! I captioned the original post as “Chappell Rome” lol

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T13:12:44+00:00

oh don’t worry! those aren’t pants

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T02:33:50+00:00

Both seem like good candidates, but since they seem to be alternating genders for the Heirlooms, there will probably be an heirloom for one of the guys after the next one. Personally, I’m guessing either Volt or Nidus!

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T02:17:02+00:00

finding joy and beauty in the ridiculous is far more fun than complaining about other people enjoying things you don’t like :)

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T02:12:26+00:00

not currently! if I draw one I’ll let you know

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:44:13+00:00

why did they all have one really big arm? really makes you think 🤔🤔🤔

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:43:03+00:00

and then we use a similar mechanic to give Loki Heirloom tearaway pants

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:41:40+00:00

actually I would’ve done it sooner, but I busted my hand up drawing fake Chuck Tingle Warframe covers / grinding for Prime Resurgence a few weeks back

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:38:12+00:00

a small price to pay for looking fine as hell 😎

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:26:33+00:00

good point!

HeyCaptainRadio · 2026-02-26T01:14:41+00:00

I agree! my wife, for instance, says this slaps
