Warframe - The Duviri Paradox
Hello Tenno! (am I doing this right?)
I'm so happy to finally being able to show the work I did for Warframe - The Duviri Paradox! I had the pleasure of doing 3 illustrations featuring the one and only child-king and his ‘friends’! 😁
I had never played Warframe before (currently fixing this!) but I loved working on this project! Honestly one of my favourite jobs so far. I’m also very very happy that I finally got to do a little something for a videogame since it's something that I've always wanted to do :)
You can find these paintings in-game, usually inside open houses/buildings (like the Citadel, for example), and the Orowyrm one is on a cinematic near the end of the main quest!

inspired by "Type O Negative - IYDKMIGTHTKY (Gimme That)"
I'm still very unhappy that they didn't give orowyrm-Lodun his crown outside of the quest…

I would like to once again thank the writers at Digital Extremes for writing the hardest line anyone ever has for their silly kickass space-ninja game:
"Sorrow is to be endured, not induldged."
This is the answer to one of several quiz tablets in the Duviri Paradox, the other answer being "Sorrow should be rejected at all costs". This is considered the wrong answer to that quiz.
Essentially, as I interpet it: you should not shun sorrow, nor should you let it consume your being. It is going to happen and you will feel every bit of it. Let it pass through you. Do not force it to leave or stay with you - the first will delay it until you can control it no longer, the second will tighten its grip upon you, as it did for the person the quiz refers to as a lesson in sorrow.
It's helped a little to remember that quote during rough patches.

Addendum to my previous post, because I forgot (sorry!):
As an example how the inhabitants of Duviri are not real characters, just templates:
Remember the guy we have to save from the Dax? Even when we save him, he keeps the shackles around his hands. He stays captured, even when we rescue him. Because that is his role. He is not a prisoner. He is *the* prisoner and he always will be. He also says something like "Isn't it strange how things always work out?" Of course they do, because this is a child's fantasy. This character was created to be saved and saved again, giving the child the feeling of being a hero. It has to work out, if not, the fantasy collapses.
The guy who challenges us to a Kaithe duel looks exactly like the driver of Acrithis carriage. These are two people looking exactly the same, because they serve the same purpose, they are riders, they tend to the horses.
As much as it may cause issues later in life, putting people into categories is important for children; otherwise they have trouble understanding the world, they can't work with fine nuances yet. You can actually easily observe this when asking children of different ages to sort toys into boxes. At first all blocks are blocks, then they may be sorted based on color and later based on their shape.
Duviri and Deimos are so important to me; I worked as a nursery school teacher and family mediator and Duviri as a whole and the Entrati family conflict hit so close to home sometimes. And what is Warframe but a story about stories of broken families? A power fantasy, something so many children in abusive situations need to stay alive.
