what they're unaware of is that they're both annoying idiots

quincyposting again sorry people. referenced this off of the new year's kiss scene

[notablenotation]

an extremely unfortunate aspect of being a koumei main and also needing to look at quincy's in-game model for reference semi-frequently is uh. koumei. koumei your idle animation.

[notablenotation]

WIP oraxia protodrifter concepts...

might end up expanding this into a fully finished thing at some point ((imagining this as kind of a "bad end" for my drifter, or a scenario in which warframe-ing himself is the only option left [much like the hex originally]... sacrificing what remains of your tenuous humanity in order to gain the power to save something/someone...much to think about...))

[notablenotation]

@warframestuff's operator! :)

[notablenotation]

no pressure ofc, but if you want to draw my drifter there's a few refs on my blog under #drifter charybdis

i like her urple :3c

Link to the original post (i am still taking these btw, i'll probably stop when I get bored lol but I am slowly working through them haha)

[notablenotation]

I'm in some sorta way today so would anyone like a squishy little doodle of their drifter/operators? :0c (kinda like this)

idk how many people are gonna see this or how many I'll ultimately do so it's a little first-come-first-serve lol; respond to this post with your Guy/Gal/Nonbinary Pal or send me an ask maybe? :3c

[notablenotation]

misc drifter doodles lol

rambling vvvvv

(i feel like when i don't give him glasses he looks like a totally different person... as a real-life glasses wearer i know this is normal but i cannot shake the idea that im drawing him inconsistently)

I like to think he has long hair in Duviri before everything went to hell...it also gives him some more visual connection with Operator haha

Drifter with the personal ranking of "worst to best ways to be executed for treason"

I like to think he perks up a bit after escaping to the origin system, but he still retains a kind of. deeply ingrained hollowness and flagrant disregard towards personal safety up until meeting the Hex and actually being able to be a Real Person again. Finger hovering over the self-destruct button constantly until the Hex forcibly wrestle that thing away from him.

testing the limits of how disrespectfully I can draw a man. i could be more disrespectful with it tbh. anyways he gets that sweater from Quincy :)

Drifter wears gloves even in normal civvie clothes because he's kinda self-conscious with it (his right hand is pretty gnarly-looking from the whole. *gestures* Duviri Disembodied Hand Stuff). Actually my drifter is just fully fucking covered up all the time because A) Hollvania cold as FUCK it's eastern Europe and I imagine Duviri being a balmy Mediterranean summer at worst and B) Drifter is just like, completely clueless as to how his appearance reads to anyone in any circumstance except during Committing Ultraviolence so opts to not be perceived at all. to be nakey is to be vulnerable or whatever. the hex reacts to seeing him in a regular t-shirt like seeing a victorian lady hike up her skirt to expose her ankles. i fully stole this imagery from a different post here on the warframe fandom of Tumblr Dot Com apologies to OP

The secret third thing to why he is covered up all the time is because I've been toying with having his scars shift and change periodically (to reflect different executions/injuries received at different times/circumstances in Duviri), and he feels kinda weird about it so just like. cover it up yayyyyy problem solved :)

[notablenotation]

finally. a singular quincy image that i like.

[homiu-l]

🗓️ February (+ March & April) fanart challenge : Draw every warframes (in chibi form) until the month ends

...... AND EVERYONE IS HERE NOW!!!!!!

now i can put down my overworked pen for the next two weeks. anyway which one is your favorite?

Check out my previous posts for close ups

[notablenotation]

BUNCHA THESE, ft. the Operator! also drifter's terrible chronic migraines lol

I like to think they have a mildly adversarial sibling-ish thing going on. Operator cares for drifter even if they have a hard time expressing it (Drifter absolutely does not lol). Annoying each other all the time...

BONUS, don't get your haunted void children mixed up!

(one of these is filled with anger and the other with. well. also anger but better managed)

OC Rambling VVV

If you notice that they sometimes have freckles and sometimes dont it's just a doodling thing lol. they're a pain to draw every time with the way that i sketch but they are Supposed to have them

I like to think of Operator as being around 14ish and Drifter is in his 20s (physically anyways). Mentally they're both a little immature round the edges but in different ways. Drifter also kind of acts like he's an old man sometimes...

yeah Operator's like 3 apples tall in comparison to Drifter... Drifter is 6' tall so. ask him to reach the high shelves for you, buddy

Operator has worse handwriting than Drifter

Drifter gets chronic (ish. they happen with regularity but infrequently) migraines. they hurt REAL BAD though and he's generally out for the day with one. They both had them as kids, but Operator doesn't get them anymore because of whatever fucked up experiments they put the zariman kids through. One of the few perks lol

operator is judging your romantic prospects, drifter... your decisions are being Judged...

lowkey I've been thinking about how operator would probably threaten to Fight Quincy after That Conversation (if you've done Quincy's chats. you know the one... check on this space for possible comics about this one day... ;) )

i also think the image of Quincy having to win over Drifter's "little brother" who is simultaneously the angriest and most traumatized child he's ever seen is kinda funny

Operator's favorite frames are Volt, Gauss, and Limbo, though he kinda uses whatever gets the job done best. Will occasionally run Nokko with Drifter's Yareli. Drifter runs Titania whenever he needs to keep up with Operator's speedframes lol

The Volt frame is basically Operator's personal property. the closest Drifter gets is using Gauss from time to time

Unsurprisingly, Operator's favorite Hex member is Amir. He asks Drifter about Amir from time to time. They trade coding projects. Arthur is second favorite (the children are not immune to Excalibur).

[notablenotation]

trying to figure out how to draw him??? he's so handsome wha da hell

[notablenotation]

whatever. go, my drifter still dialing in the colors on him!! but he's Green :)

random drifter facts vvv

he doesn't have a name! or birthday! he forgot both of them :)

neck scar from a botched beheading in one of the early loops

he likes flowers! walked around Hollvania just looking at all the Earth plants for a good while when he first came to 1999

thinks 1999 has cool and interesting music :0 (on-lyne included lol)

food-motivated, likes sweets/fruit

Favorite Candy (shared with the operator): any kind of sour gummy candy

RIP drifter you should've been the only promising musician of a very mediocre ska band instead of killing people with the plague-flesh mechasuits

heterochromia, one brown eye one green eye, hard to notice unless you get close though

Frequently used warframes: koumei (generalist), yareli (offense), jade (support)

hopelessly reliant on The Cube
