Liger Inuzuka's original Nidus Deluxe contract concept art portfolio

Two full-body Nidus Deluxe concepts showing orange organic muscle, pale armor plates and turquoise accents, with the original background and artist marks. — Full figure: the underlying form and layered armor.

About the work.

The contrast is immediate: pale armor wraps around orange muscle, while turquoise accents pick out the helmet, chest and back. Liger Inuzuka's Nidus Deluxe concepts give Warframe's Infested character a knightly silhouette without losing the organic forms underneath.

In the original portfolio description, Inuzuka names Gothic architecture, medieval knights, bones and organic muscle as the design's inspirations. The long pointed helmet, layered plates and bone-like shapes make those references visible. The exposed muscle keeps the figure from reading as a conventional suit of armor.

The four sheets let you follow the design from different angles. The full-figure image pairs the underlying form with the armored character; the numbered breakdown separates the armor into layers. Four prototype sketches show earlier directions, and the supplementary details focus on the back, collar and side views. Each sheet is presented in full, including the artist's notes, swatches and signatures.
