I'd love some Murmur weapons. I had a couple more in mind but they were basically all just "screaming face on a pistol grip" or "a bunch of hands or something" I'm not much of a weapon designer lol, I typically just give my characters magic projectiles of some kind.
@@StallordD This comment immediately made me imagine two designs. An opticor-like canon that is composed of two closed fists facing each other (backs of the fingers touching with thumbs in parallel on top) in which unfurls the fingers into two open palms with the fingers spread outwards when the weapon is fully charged. The thumbs could form a sort of thematic iron sights when charged while the fingers kinda surprise jostle when the gun is fired, before curling back to default pose. A heavy sword melee composed of an arm grabbing another arm. The first arm would function as the handle and the second as the blade (fingers together in an open, knife hand pose for slash damage that functions akin to a great nikana and changes to a closed fist for impact damage and more of a hammer/mace moveset via alt-fire) Sadly my artistic skills are juvenile at best, but I hope my descriptions shared what my mind pictured well enough.
The Rapacious Aspect is something I was thinking Warframe needs desperatly, the game doesn't have any really dangerous enemies tbh. None of them are really punishing and the few that are, are generally really squishy or simply annoying and not dangerous. Man your designs are great, sometimes a bit overboard but thats how concepting works keep it up man, I am also very sure DE knows about your concepts
I agree, I want more enemies that pose a very big threat, but one that is avoidable. So you need to be aware of what its doing, but don't need to worry about instantly going down if one is around. Its a tough balance to strike without making players feel like their builds / powers are useless (ie nullifiers) so I get why it's difficult to execute.
8:10, imagine for an enemy like that, when they die, there is a slight chance it whispers a ghostly 'thank you'. for granting them mercy from the indifference's torment.
I really love the Necramechs and Loid's line where he wishes them to rest (even if it's just him being poetic) made me want more lore about them. I head-canoned that they were fallen Dax or other soldiers that the Orokin kept around so they could serve even in death. Like Servo Skulls but for badasses.
Absolute banger, would also be neat to see a take on murmur on the angelic choir given we already have the Angels (which we could assume to be the "lowest" tier). Given we are getting the expanded murmur faction after 1999, i wouldn't be surprised if DE takes inspiration on your work or just straight up pay you to use it.
@StallordD Na bro, you dead serious are basically already there, the ideas, the visuals, it's basically there. Hell if you do get into it, the enemy diversity will be crazy (the eldritch void horror tickle my warframe horror fancy)
I don't think I've ever looked at a situation and thought, "You know what this needs? More bone wheels." But I thoroughly agree, more bone wheels are necessary.
Finally I’m realizing the huge range of body horror possible because of the void having only cursory familiarity with “normal” biology and only recognizing shapes. And I love this. Wonderful video, love these concepts! Particularly the consumed nechramech.
I fucking love all of these so much. I saw your initial concepts for the consumed a while back, and its so good Would adore to see this actually realized in game
I did do a lot of sketches for a Mars open world near the base of Olympus Mons with Grineer units, and I have some ancient concepts for a Corpus open world on a sort of, Neptunian superstructure that had an ocean on one of its struts, so I might re-visit those one day!
I love how you also thought pretty deeply about the mechanics of these. You're really good at that part of concept art and that is a big part of it. Keep it up!
I need you to keep this up. Because at some point DE is gonna get there hands on this and make actual enemies out of them. Once that happens its over for the Sanctum.
Very cool concepts. Would love to see you take on void corruption done in the style we see on the Zarimman and on incarnons. Murmmurized enemies are fun, but in head-cannon, void corruption was always the metallic twisting we see on the angels and ephmeras.
i want more necramechs in general. but the murmur is such an interesting enemy faction im surprised there wasnt a “loose wheel” enemy right from the get go like yours
This is sooo cool! I fear having it put out there in such detail might discourage them to put something like this in the game, but I love all of the concepts here!
13:18 Funnily enough, I believe there actually is precedent for enemies to use a team-up move like you described, since one enemy on Deimos that throws webs around can actually throw basic Infested like Chargers at you.
As an artist, I love these designs! I also began reading Requiem and it exceeded whatever expectations I had upon clicking the link. The first chapter got me hooked and now I can't stop reading!!
@StallordD I finished reading a little ago. No words can explain how much I enjoyed the incomprehensible horrors of the void and our little Archimedean's trip into it!!
Just from the nercamech and the other 2 gave me an idea of mummer consumed versions of enimes like mummer consumed corpus or grineer and could even do mummer consumed warframes would be very interesting.

The Consumed Arcocanid's "dance" animation could be similar to Elden Ring's Divine Beast Dancing Lion boss, who has an animation like what you're thinking of. One of its attacks involves it rearing up on the hind legs performer and gnashing its teeth before lunging.
No it's not that, it would hop on each foot and alternate with its forelegs as well. Honestly it might have been something also from Okami, but I can't remember!
I tried one but didn't feel like I could execute the concept and still stay within Warframe design rules. I either went too hard and basically made another Requiem horror, or I just wound up with what would basically be a Qorvex alt skin. I also tried a Dante Murmur skin but it was a bit meh so I scrapped it.
the jubilant castigator kind of make me think of Buer or Decarabia as theyre depicted in the Ars Goetia. Pretty fitting thing to parallel with void nightmares id say

That'd be awesome. There was already that mining colony that got "infected" by its influence, so I could see more stuff like that as the story goes on.
Not quite that, but not too far off! I was thinking something more like, jittery, almost robotic. I'm thinking it MUST have been from some game I played when I was young, but I can't think what it would be.
I have the same problem with perspective as you, that is why I stick to making emblems and logos (I started by making clan emblems btw). I am a fan of your lore videos for years. I must say you came up with some good ideas on this one, but time will tell if any of the ideas will be used by DE in some shape or form.
@@StallordD with DE you never know. I didn't believed that Volt's shield will become moveable after me and few others suggested it back in the day in the forum, but here we are. Plus I think Rebecca is more open to outside ideas than Steve. At least that is my impression from my chats with her years ago.
I like the blocky abstract-ness of the Murmur, but I'm hoping they're just a sort of "sampler" and as the faction expands we get to see WAY more nightmarish designs.
Thank you! Hands are relatively easy, I have two of them always available for reference! They still took MANY attempts to get right though, not shown are the DOZENS of attempts for each hand to get it looking correct!
Oooh, that could be cool. I actually had a puppeteer enemy idea for Soulframe and Duviri, but I definitely could see something similar fitting in with the Murmur.
When i like it i alos kinda sad that old weaknes system are no more, i like parts abaut thinking do i want strip they armor ect ect, but new system is here and it lack something, to many elements have no weaknes or have like one enemy is good aginst, alos it would be fun to have more multi fraction missions, in old system you need learn almost all enemy so you can know what arrmor or hp they have but here you just need look at them and 99% you will choice right fraction and damage type, even when come to sub fraction, and we have 3 weapons so we can have weapon for 2 type of enemy
The more and more I see both official and unofficial creations from the Void, the more the Indifference feels akin to a generative image model that can produce things that, sure, LOOK sort of like something, but it's all wrong; maybe too few or too many limbs, ranging from humanish to a mass of limbs that doesn't even look remotely humanoid
I'm not super good with sentient stuff and as much as I love the Corpus, robotics / machinery are still a weak spot of mine. I think I scribbled out a couple WAY back, but I'm not even sure which sketchbook they'd be in lol.
I only have 2 finished drawings, since I kinda realized most people didn't really like Duviri unfortunately. I only have sketches for the rest (I had like 8 or 10 guys) but I might do refined sketches of some of them.
@@StallordD I didn’t realize that was the case, though I feel it would still get many views inspite of that fact, we come to your videos for your brainstorms and art, duviri is conceptually beautiful as is, I couldn’t fathom what wonders would come from you building upon it

Murmur Weapons actually sound insane.
Would certainly be nice to get weapons that deal void damage, even if that'll never happen.

@@StallordD Dude two words. Beautifully Disturbing. I love it.

A necramech that’s been consumed/corrupted by the void is such an interesting concept.😺
DE can expand the design from how Onos and Ruvox design alternates to their incarnon forms
Agreed
We need that concept as a skin or better yet a new third mech type
The Rapacious Aspect is something I was thinking Warframe needs desperatly, the game doesn't have any really dangerous enemies tbh. None of them are really punishing and the few that are, are generally really squishy or simply annoying and not dangerous.

Your art is absolutely incredible, fantastic job with all of these designs. Your take on the Murmur art style is so damn cool.

The finger gums is an artistic detail i really like.
Good creepy vibes
you should be a concept artist for DE
Thank you! I don't have the level of ability needed to be a professional concept artist unfortunately, but I'm trying to improve!
Sadly his art work would be covered up by the 5 abilities with particle effects that constantly take up the entire screen

I need you to keep this up. Because at some point DE is gonna get there hands on this and make actual enemies out of them. Once that happens its over for the Sanctum.
Thanks! But I'm sure DE has plenty of ideas for Murmur expansions that just haven't been made yet.
@@StallordD have you ever thought of sending your art them?
They've featured my art on Prime Time before, so they've seen it!
@@StallordD true. I just wish they would talk to you and maybe implement them in the games. Tbh that would be beyond awesome.
Amazing concepts dude they're not only cool but as a fellow artist I can appreciate a lot about the designs themselves they look real good.
Very tempted to use some of these in my Murmur DnD stat blocks I've been making. They may not be official Murmur, but these are cool as hell!
Thank you! That sounds awesome!

Great work!
I do wish DA added some more spooky stuff, but hopefully further Void expansions will!
These are some very enjoyable designs 👌
i want more necramechs in general.
but the murmur is such an interesting enemy faction im surprised there wasnt a “loose wheel” enemy right from the get go like yours
There is a ton of potential with the Murmur, I really hope they develop them a lot more and don't leave the roster stagnant!

Not really, I think a single male and female unit like Adam and Eve fits the sort of "playing god" theme for Albrecht well.
Just from the nercamech and the other 2 gave me an idea of mummer consumed versions of enimes like mummer consumed corpus or grineer and could even do mummer consumed warframes would be very interesting.
