After a long hiatus of fanart for Warframe, I decided to try my hand at designing a frame centered around bees! Specifically a honeybee or a bumblebee! I took elements I liked from Lavos's design with the vials and tubes, applying it to Melissae here! I also took elements from my own "Arachne" design I did some time ago with the thorax.
I wanted to go for a science-like theme, a light-weight but certainly strong support frame. The hive drone and osprey sketches being remnants of that. The control pad with the honeycomb design being of Corpus inspiration, perhaps the frame holding control over several nano-like drones that can perform various functions such as healing allies, attacking enemies, or scavenging for loot from lockers (ammo, credits, crafting materials, etc)
