Hello, dear ones!
Thank you so much for everyone who voted and commented on my previous blog post. The support was overwhelming and it makes me improve my writings and share more of my content. That's why decided to make this one a lot longer than usual.
Since I started playing Warframe the fall of 2019 I've been trying to be more active among the community and take part in their events and contests. TennoTober was their version of Inktober with a list of words related to the gameplay.
Here's the one for last year:
Despite my lack of consistency I was very enthusiastic about all this. And so began my journey/challenge to paint a sketch every single day. You may guessed it... I couldn't complete the entire list, only the first 19, but the whole event helped me improve my skills and get noticed by DE (well, a little). ^^
Here are all of the sketches I did for the TennoTober challenge. Hope you like them.
"The Lotus is a mysterious figure who guides the Tenno during their operations throughout the Origin System." *
Also known as the Space mom among the players, she's the one who saved the Tenno and took care of them until... well some things are better to experience that explain. ^^
"The highly revered Orokin civilization built sovereignty on a culture of art, technology and architecture. To prove oneself worthy of elevated social status, one must face Orokin trials in the golden and majestic Halls of Ascension. At one time a utopian society of omniscient leadership, the great Orokin Era ended in a divine realization of their own ignorance." *
"The Void is a mysterious realm of extradimensional space, where the laws of physics hold little sway. It is the source of many mysterious phenomena, such as Void storms, and the origin of the Tenno's powers." *
"The diminutive temptress Titania and her entourage of bladed butterflies scatter their dust to disorient, enchant and beckon foes to their doom." *
"The Corpus are a merchant cult, built on the foundation of salvaged technology and robotics. They scavenge the outer systems, greedy for the Old War salvage. Their most sought after of all - the Tenno and their WARFRAME armor. Those captured are treated as salvage; meticulously dissected, integrated. The remains are sold to the highest bidder." *
Something's lurking in the shadows...
The greatest secret in Warframe...
It's a very rough sketch, but wanted to show the contrast between the infested and the Entrati family interior...
I only got 2 Legendary Cores for the whole year I've been playing Sorties in Warframe... One of the rarest items in the game so it's considered quite the luck if you have them. ^^
Story of my life... numbers are taken from my current foundry xD
Always always running out of resources...
"Infested or not... you belong to me..."
One of the hardest frames to draw - Nidus and his infested appearance can drive anyone away. But not the Operatior. ^^
"Dauntless and devout, the dark priest Harrow bestows upon his coven three virtues: salvation through sacrifice, redemption through vengeance, and ascension through defiance." *
"A small measure of peace we all seek, but few of us find..."
"The Ostrons are the inhabitants of the Cetus settlement near the Plains of Eidolon on Earth. They are a hardy, mercantile people that dwell in the shadow of the Orokin Tower of the Unum, which they harvest for their livelihood." *
"Lua is the Earth's moon, accessible as a location in the Star Chart. Once the seat of the Orokin Empire's power during their reign, it is now shattered and broken, scarred by the Old War." *
Wanted to test a different style and make Octavia's helmet an icon. ^^
This is where it started to become difficult to paint every single day. I fell sick and was already behind schedule.
Not proud how this turned out, but had more sketches to finish...
For all the frames I sacrificed to the Helminth...
Now that's some skill he got there...
Took the inspiration from Monkey's meditation scene in Kung Fu Panda ^^
And as much as I wanted to finish the challenge, had to stop here. I'll try this year as well, hopefully will have more time and will. ^^

The sketches are done in Clip Studio Paint after taking tons of reference screenshots in Captura.
The mockup at the beginning of the post is assembled in Adobe Photoshop.
Thank you for reading this post. Let me know which of the sketches do you like most and are you a fan of Warframe as well?
Have a great week, everyone! ^^
