Imagine fighting these guys in a vast sandy arena and they're just moving around faster than you and twice your size like big ol freaks. I want that
There's a big Void Monster guy idea I had (not shown here) that I think would make for an awesome Shadow of the Colossus style Raid Boss, and fighting him in a massive, Plains of Eidolon sized arena desert would be a dream. Like most of these though, he probably wouldn't be a great fit for Warframe in reality! But yeah, more big open areas with big spooky monsters would be awesome.
UEEHHHH BRUTHAH UHHHHH BRUTHAH WHAT IS THAT BRUTHATHA
@@StallordDABSOLUTELY!! And I do actually think it would work with WF as well. Imagine a skybox at least as high as Fortuna and as wide. Flat and Sandy with the “ruins” of alternate realities strewn about, offering cover and height advantage.
You injure the boss, then when it kneels to recover, you begin your bullet jumping ascent. Or void dash/fly/kitty zip line, etc. maybe a pulse of energy would prevent transference, limiting you to WF movement. Make your way up, perform a “requiem ritual” at its vitals, they open up, you attack it until it throws you off. Rinse/repeat.
Maybe each of your designs could be this big, Chaos being especially crazy as he could shape shift as your climbing and fighting, making it a true parkour challenge.
“Time” (I forget the word) could reverse you off Protea style if you don’t make it to the vitals “in the nick of time” (lol a necessary time pun).
“Order” gives you a visual clue as to its defeat sequence (aka Deimos vault), and it must be dismantled in that fashion OR ELSE.
Basically: keep these designs, just make them SotC size for raids!!
Actual soulframe moment
Agreed it could work like Interception battle from the last descendant
With all of this, this should be more like a new type of lich enemies (i think is better like that 👀)
- Kuva Liches (from the Grineer)
- Parvos Sisters (from the Corpus)
- Technocyte Coda (from the Infested)
And then...
- Requiem Horrors(?) (from the Murmur)
That’s a good idea. With the reveal of Technocyte Coda, Murmur Liches isn’t entirely unlikely.
But it’s probably something we wouldn’t see for a while since DE seems to have their hands full with 1999.
The best time to introduce Murmur Liches (which I think should be called Hymms) would be during the update in which we have the second to last fight against Wally. Before we have the ultimate showdown.
Yeah they still need to add murmur/entrati weapons to justify the litch specific enemies
I think we might get an Evolution of the Archons into a proper Sentient Lich Group before we get the Hyms.
After seeing the Technocyte Coda I started to wonder about Murmur liches, and the first idea I came up with is of a humanoid Murmur that has a head like a mix between Wally's head and Teshin's helmet with a skull-like mouth and nose; arms like a Gruzzling's; a stone-like mass reminiscent in rough shape to a longcoat instead of legs; and a billowing column of smoke coming out of the top of its head.
Just saying, as someone that struggles with drawing hands, your hand-based art is insanely fucking good.
Thanks! I promise you though, it was NOT easy. Each hand (and foot for that matter) took MANY attempts with constant references (and many phone selfies in the mirror with goofy hand poses). It helped me get a lot better at them, but I still struggle with them despite all that. About halfway through Jahu I was cursing myself for making such a stupidly complicated design, then halfway through the first arm on Oull I was cursing myself for doing it AGAIN.
Idea for Khra, it shows up *only* during missions with timed objectives, if it can reach the location it will time lock the object, stopping it from progressing, its three arms will then start to cast something on the objective, slowly turning time back, and building its clock, it isn't something you kill, its more like a demolyst enemy that has to be staved off, not a offensive power house, maybe it would be locked to its own unique game mode of rare encounter, after the objective finishes it would drop items based on how long it was aloud to take your time, like a strang deal was made, you give it time and you suffer, and it blesses you with greater rewards, but you must be sure to not let Khra get greedy or it grow strong enough to fight, warping time as it pleases, debuffs on you last longer, debuffs on it last a fraction then they usually do, your buffs last half as long, beating it now would grant you access to unique mods and also cuts all remaining objective timers in half, so either trade time with it and get rewards, beat it back not letting it get anything and getting nothing much as a result, or let it grow fat from strength and put it down to use its time manipulation to your benefit
Oooh, that's a neat idea! I think yeah, it would need a mode more focused around that gimmick entirely, but I think something along those lines could potentially work!
It's absolutely insane how good these concepts are. They have perfect lines, fine details, creative designs. Please keep cooking, it's fire.
omg PART 2!! thank you for sharing your creations!!
Another great Video! Saw the first one and loved the insight into the designs of each creature. It helps give context to the decision making process behind their forms and how they each fit with their respective void concept.
Ahw hell yeah, was hoping you'd make another vid
Oull is probably my fav and Lohk looks great, the size comparison is nice as well, really sells the vibes of the titans of the void
Thanks! I love Megalophobia (and Thalassophobia especially) so I'd love if the Void really leans into that in the future.
These designs are on point. Out of all of them across your videos, my favorite by far was Xata, with Oull as a close second.
I honestly would love to see these in Warframe, no matter how impractical they may be in gameplay.
LETS GOOOOOO I haven't been able to stop thinking about the other guys
Seem like this could be a hug boss battle that is similar to a raid boss with multiple phases that may require 8-12 players with different individual tasks to complete , but still might be a good concept art for "The Whisper On The Wall" storyline
This makes me want to design my own Requiem Words. Great vid, you just earned a sub!
With Fass being an ambush predator, I can imagine it emerging from places the player doesn't expect. For instance, Necramech spawn points or after a Conduit is completed in a disruption mission
Awesome art! I really hope DE does a round 2 with adding more Murmur enemies for another Murmur / Wally tileset that leans more into the body horror aspect just like these do, which is what they wanted to do more of based on the concept arts in the TC2024 art panel.
These things would be absolutely terrifying to combat. Be it in a confined hallway, or an open battlefield.
Fass could be like what they tried to do with The Grineer Maniac, an actual danger that is announced by a sound queue
Nice you made a game about space ninjas into a cosmic horror.....
Good job
Don’t know actually how I missed first part (going to go watch it now)
But this is some awesome concepts, actually driving me to thinking how would I imagine such “concept enemies” and actually these are pretty suitable for the game in some later updates of the story-arc.
Don’t know if DE will take some inspiration from this or not, but still this is some very good work, well done
I would love to see this in game and I hope this is Apollo giving the gift of prophecy to a random guy on the internet
As awesome as that would be, I don't think these fit very well with the direction DE went with the Murmur, and I'm sure they have their own ideas for the faction!
Nice to see you upload part 2 of your descriptions of these fanmade Void enemies that serve the man of the wall. Concieved by the Void from flesh to enter the material realm to spread their eldritich master's influnce with unknown plans and motivates. Each representating a word of the void tonuge that is older than the stars. They are the echoes to remind the Tenno of their deal with master as well as the consequences of not withholding its bargin. They're nightmares of those who are unaware of the Indifference, mockeries of the human form of what the Void created to understand that would drive even the bravest of warriors insane from seeing them.
Who serves as figureheads of the thorax, Mumur and Void angels that carry out their master's eldritich will to breach the barrier between void and dust to breakdown the walls of casuality and spread chaos and indifference to the universe and to repay those who have made contact with it in full.....
The Requliem horrors.
You're a really good artist
Thank you! Not good enough yet, but I've been really trying to start my learning over recently!
khra feels right outta the eternal cylinder. very cool 👌
Yo, you're totally right! I never played, but I did watch a Jerma playthrough, so I wonder if those designs might have influenced me subconsciously.
Khra with two faces like Janus?
In hindsight that would have been a great fit!
THE RETURN OF THE KING!!!
Khra looks great.
I would flip Netra, turning it into a mushroom. Kind of like how fungus feed on decay, and how the cloud of a nuclear bomb is remnants of nuclear decay.
Fass would actually work pretty well in Warframe, but I think you'd have to give it a breathe attack of some sort that is radiation. I wouldn't change its design, and I'd make it that while its in a wall, players that look towards it will see the walls overlaid with a void-angel texture. That way you get both visual and auditory queues.
Lohk looks pretty good. IMO, if it was going to be a boss like that, I'd have the texture, instead of being stone, being some kind of void liquid. Kinda like fighting the avatar of something.
Overall, love the twin concepts.
Ooh yeah, an inverted Netra could look neat. I actually kinda wrote it like a mushroom in my Light Novel, so an inverted style would probably work pretty well.
Radiation breath for Fass is evil, I love it, lol.
I like the final form being stone to be in line with Wally, BUT I can totally see the smaller forms coming out of Void Slag, so instead of stone chunks it's just a bunch of slag that gets more solid as they "evolve" instead, ala Mimic Tear. That could be a good alternative, and probably easier to animate / cheat visually as well!
Thought this was a lore video, still good art.
Gonna try some other stuff over time, hope you enjoyed though!
@@StallordD yea, cool stuff. Now I want murmur liches.
If Warframe had a "lorekeeper" like Star Wars has, you'd be the best bet.
"No, we can't do that. It contradicts a single line from 10 years ago."
Lol, thanks. I think unfortunately I've fallen off as the designated Warframe lore guy. Other channels have more consistent output by a pretty large margin.
@@StallordD don't know if it's any consolation, but I had no idea. I knew about a couple of lore creators but that was years ago. to be honest-and no shade on them-but I never liked how wildly speculative most were... it's fun to speculate, don't get me wrong, but I distinctly recall thinking that it didn't sound like conjecture anymore, but rather stuff they personally wanted to see happen in the game. felt like I was listening to a reddit ramble sometimes lol
your content has never felt like that, so I always refer to your videos when I need a lore refresh or when my friends want a better explanation of XYZ from the game. every time you post a vid, I drop it in the group chat! 7 year streak I think... 🫠
dude at this point you need to be hired by DE for concepts!
Thank you! Though as cool as that would be, I don't think I have the ability required to actually be hired anywhere. Trying to improve though!
I really admire your creativity, and look forward to reading your story! By the way, in the previous video, you mention that your works were shown on Prime Time once; do you remember which stream exactly it was? I've looked through a bunch, but haven't been able to find it
Thanks! And it took me a second to find it too, but it was Prime Time 378!
@@StallordD Thank you!! I was 20 streams away from the correct one lol
I think it would also be super cool if each one of them would be accompanied with their own music track when they appear.
Like, imagine you are doing your regular Netracell run and then suddenly something similar to "Into Tartarus" (Hades 2) starts playing when Khra manifestation spawns in.
Now, about that guaranteed death timer of Khra - I'm not really a fan of mechanics like that in games. Though I understand that simple DoT, even if it's quickly increasing, won't do much in a game like Warframe. I honestly fail to see a proper middle ground here.
Overall, I would love to see all those appear in game.
Anyways, cool designs, in both videos. I somehow was completely unaware of part1, might be youtube algorithm shenanigans at play or maybe because the eight worms in my brain are half-asleep all the time.
Additional music layers would be awesome, and totally doable with the dynamic music system. Adding like, a ticking clock percussion for Khra, or some screechy discordant violins for Fass, etc.
That's a great idea actually. I'm wondering about the others now. Maybe a rhythmic Cello for Vome, some steady but distinct drum for Jahu, some etheral glassy tones for Ris, loud whispering for Xata, and some brushy low cymbals for Netra? Oull would absolutely need its own choral track.
I totally get not liking death timers. I'm not sure WHY I like them so much, must come from some deep-seated childhood gaming experience I've forgotten.
And yeah, I think because I post so infrequently, the YT algorithm has frowned upon me pretty hard. I've heard from quite a few people that they aren't aware of my last few uploads.
@@StallordD Speaking of corresponding music (or at least sounds) for each of the Requiem Horrors - I think there's a lot to explore here. Yes, connecting Khra and a ticking clock is kinda obvious (because time, duh), but the rest - not so much. But with what sounds do you represent Vome (which is order)? It might be a cello like you said, it might be a metronome, it might be sounds of a marching army or a gavel of a judge. It can be a lot of things. And same for the others, even Khra (sounds of shifting sands in an hourglass, for example).
This topic might even deserve its own video :)
wicked stuff man 👍
This series was awesome! The design of the Requiems looking like the Man in the Wall is so intriguing as well! 👀
I think that "Oull" means "Paradox". I'm not sure where I heard it or if it's true, though 🤔💗👌🏽🐉
Surprised you didn't go with the 3 arms of Khra being a second, minute, hour hand on a clock.
That was the idea! One hyper (second) one normal (minute) and one slow / choppy speed (hour). If I was to redesign Khra to fit with how the Murmur ended up looking, I would probably lean into that more and have them like, segments that fully rotate around instead of just arms off to one side.
Wait, that first image in the video is when there is blue light coming from that hole is wally?
Sort of? It's a screaming skybox face, which all seem to be aspects of Wally in some form, though I'm not sure if they're extensions or just visuals of him.
@@StallordD i just realized after watching the announcement of the upcoming lotus eater and the close up image in the beginning of your video, and then i watch the wishper in the wall demo fron year ago, i just realized that blue light coming from wally looking thing, i thought it just natural light
