my entry for the 11th anniversary art contest hosted by Warframe.
our prompt keywords were "steel" and/or "mirrors"

well...
11 is my favourite number, so I was obliged to fullsend it :')

I've been playing this game for ... idk, some 7 years now? And while I still enjoy it tremendously, I've noticed that for the past couple years "Warframe" hasn't really been about playing the game for me, but about the universe that surrounds it and about the stories I've created in this universe... I wanted this piece to reflect that (pun fully intended).
I wanted this piece to be the Void mirror I looked into--
I wanted this piece to show me.

So here's a commemoration, an ode to
where I am currently in Warframe - doing art!
the past I have with this game and my favourite chapters - Empyrean (& Tempestarii), New War, Zariman, Duviri and Whispers in the Wall~
and perhaps ... if void willing, a little shard of the future - because pipe dreams as they may be, they keep me going <3

I was tempted to sprinkle in more little detail reference to the stories of C and Leanne but ... considering I still, to this day have not put any of it up on AO3 ((and considering this picture already cost me almost 3 consecutive overnighters)) I've decided against it ... for now >:)
maybe next year I'll do another commemorative piece of just those 150 pages' worth of dead doves lol

but also - look how far my kids and my art have come in 2 years ahahah:
