Not technically "fan" art, since its from our concept artist for Em-8ER, Tomasso, but check out what he did on his own time!

Greetings Reapers,

We are about to upgrade these forums with the new hotness. So hold on to your backsides and get ready for the latest and greatest version of the Em-8ER forums.

The skin, and lips primarily. Very young, poorless skin, a little glowly, almost silicone like skin. With glossy lips, with the size closer to the concept art.
Not sure what I think would go well with the hair, but I don't really know how hair physics work and it's limitations.


Not my artwork! Both Jessica Madorran and Danny Mac 3D are very talented though!

So that skin was not set up properly with the right shader in Unreal. If you check our earlier video when we first debut the characters, you should see a better shader setup. I'm not satisfied either yet, and we will keep working on it. But Omniframe is priority now. TY!

I definitely enjoyed this video more than the others, and that music in the background really suited the content. I have a couple of questions though.

With the Omniframe first-person view, will we be viewing from the character's eyes through the armour (like a virtual reality display inside the suit) or from the eyes of the Omniframe?
How exactly does the character control the frame? I might be a little dumb here, but it looks like the character moves the frame with their legs, but I can't see a control for the arms?

Also this. I'd be interested in purchasing a poster if it wasn't like $30 shipping.​

The arms are motion controlled via pilots own arm movements! Like Kinect, but it works and doesn't suck

Though, I must ask, is there a particular reason the enemies were referred to as 'Shifters' instead of the 'Tsi-hu'? I do realize that the name was the winner for the 'Alien Naming Contest', but it would make sense to refer to them by their in-lore name rather than a community-given moniker.

The naming contest was meant for the express purpose of choosing something that would become official lore, and be generally easy to say and hear.
That in mind: Shifters is indeed the Tsi-hu's proper in-lore name, from the perspective of the Gatestriders.
Like how in the Halo series, Elites are the Sangeili's proper in-lore name, from the perspective of the Humans.
