This one made me pick up Lavos. Great work!

damn this looks good

Congrats man. As a Lavos main, this rules!

Fuck yes Plague Doctor aesthetic is what I NEED.

LET'S GOOOO!

7 dollars in pennies are heading straight through your window.

Congrats on getting accepted! Very excited to be running around with this :)

i genuinely need this so fucking badlyyyyyyyyyyyyy

V3 looks absolutely brilliant. I'm still holding my arm ready to throw my seven bucks through your window the moment this inevitably gets added.

I need this for my Lavos so much!

Lavos seriously needs more skins, and what a fantastic addition this would make.

I really love the bird skull look for the helmet
I would really love to see a Cedo skin to along with it!

Yeah, I see what you went for. You did an incredible job!

Bred Bringer,Idea was to combine plague doctor beak mask with assymetrical gas mask like S10. Thanks Nemu!

Looks fantastic! Though I'm not sure how to feel about the asymmetrical helmet. I suppose I'll get used to it.

great job conveying the idea of the helmet while maintaining warframe feeling, this is adorable

Kudos to v2. The new boots and gauntlets look good. And there is no longer that fat chocobo feel. Must have been the slanted "eyes" after all.

Ooooo! can't wait!

You will see the result before saturday :D

Oh, DE has reached out to you about it? What kind of changes did they suggest?

Skin is under update based on DE feedback i received and will only get some minor changes. Ascythian, i get where are you going from but I really know by now whats a deluxe and whats tennogen , been doing this for 5 years. This skin also received one of the best reactions on socials too. Accept that you dont like it and thats fine by me..

@Ascythian Others had mentioned, notably Bread Bringer, but here we go again. The plague doctor theme is more a Lavos' one than a Limbo's one. Compared to a walking lab / caduceus, a mathematician / magician / Victorian gentleman whose most defining characteristics is a separable hat looks way less a plague doctor. Your concern was the design's divergence from Lavos' theme, and yet you are ok with Limbo's Aureolus (just because it's cooler I guess). I think you just don't like the design on intuition level and then describe the cause as the theme.

@Lubox Unfortunately you do actually have to follow the theme generally speaking, deluxe is when you break the boundaries, DE have made that clear.

Imo this diverges too much from Lavo's theme, Limbo with his plague doctor helmet was themed towards it. Now I like your work but I don't think this will be as consistent as your previous work. Who knows what DE will think though.

omg yes

Well yeah, Ascythian. That's the point, it's a plague doctor. It's linked to his theme because the masks were designed this way because at the time alchemical belief was that disease spread through miasma "bad air" and would wear masks containing strong-scented herbs to keep it out. This eventually resulted in the beak-shaped mask which is iconic today.

Thx Calculus, might look into it if it comes to revision.

Ascythian, I get where are you going from, but if I would another Lavos look-alike helmet I would have like 6x times more feedback that it looks same. Point of skin is to bring new taste and aestethics, not to follow the same default over and over. If you dont vibe with Beak then its cool 100 people 100 preferences.

@GalacticHellfire - Unfortunately Limbo already has a plague doctor helm.

calculusbandit: Good idea man. The beak looks less bland and the eyes or sensors issue just disappears in one shot.

Does nobody mention the body texture? Looks fantastic as well! Can't wait to see DE approve this.

This is a very unique and interesting take on the Plague Doctor aesthetic, If not taken as is, I wonder how the helmet would look with the sensors in less obvious "eyespots, like putting them ON the beak? I look forward to seeing this in current or revised incarnations, whichever DE approves. You've always got such cool and solid designs. Rooting for this.

Ascythian: It's meant to evoke a plague doctor, which is well within Lavos's aesthetic and thematic domain

Helmet doesn't fit Lavo's aesthetics of his other helmets, too birdlike, would make more sense on Zephyr or Garuda but not here.

Lavos has a more squid/Predator theme to his helmets. Scientist/gas mask might be appropriate themes to his art too.

Oh, that's true. Most accepted helmets look so fire without anything close to an eye. I like the texture of the current coat, but rn it doesn't look tail-like, so I'm glad you agree the coat could use some extra war paint. Sorta like Shiraan's rice field hat I think? All in all, as a v1 Yersin looks great, and looking forward to v2 if you plan to.

Sorry Mate, bending rules is no option, too many artists on workshop bend them only to end up for eternity on the workshop page and not see the light of game :) Examples you listed were made by DE. About the coat tail: I wanted to make coat like tail and perhaps its bit bland i agree, might look into that in future revision.

Perhaps Lavos' big head is actually his charm, I was wrong about the first 2 points.
For the liquid point, since I'm a sucker for those liquid flasks this opinion is totally bias. Still, I recommend it, either in the form of a flask or a liquid tube or both.
For the "eyes", be it eye or sensor it doesn't matter much from a designer's stand point, isn't it? I was aware that Yersin is the 3-eyed type just like Cordatus, but I also think that the no-eyes rule got bent too many times now (Mirage Prime, Vauban Prime, Xaku Kagura, etc.) that I think so long as it looks good, nobody cares. If the 3 eyes sink a little deeper into the skull or have a darker surrounding, I think it makes more impact (Source: The face of my sleep deprived senior).
As for the body, I really like your take on the biceps and upper thigh. The coat tail look a bit empty though.

Hi Lubox. Wow, I didn't expect a reply, let alone one this quickly and from the designer themselves. Thanks for the reply. Actually the points weren't meant to make Yersin looks even more like a plague doctor, rather they are the points that stem from my favorite helmet designs.

Hi Lyrr, Due several lavos helmets being on bigger side, I opted for larger too so it doesnt look out of place among other helmets Your other points what you describe is try to make the helmet more like plague doctor, this however issues problems with game design language. Warframe is game where real life inspirations are taken and are interpreted differently, i cannot make it look 1:1 if you catch my drift. Eyes are not that deep, because they are not eyes, eyes are forbidden in warframe design, its more like sensors of sort with main one in middle.

I like where you are going with the plague doctor concept. Personally though, I think:
The helmet feels a bit too big or has the impression to be so (although it's not that different from the 3 current helmets).
The neck section and the portion above the beak are short and wide so the supposed plague doctor now feels like a fat cute pigeon / crow(?). Also it doesn't create a difference from Aureolus helmet.
Both Cordatus helmet and Kuvael helmet feature liquid, which looks awesome. Maybe this helmet could use some?
The "eyes" don't look deep enough, I mean in a way of Cordatus helmet or Damas helmet.

fuck yea

Чёт шлем какой-то больше петушиный чем чумной

I understand the concept, but honestly i think that helmet doesnt fit lavos, or at least in this version.

Prepare to feel the force of 7 dollars in pennies making impact with your cheek at mach speed the moment this gets added.

I await the time this skin gets added into the game

Oh, I see where the title is taking us:>

Wow... I hope this skin will add in round 23.
