WARFRAME CONCEPT - "Thraex" the Gladiator

What started out as a fun experiment to create an Umbral Valkyr of sort turned into something entirely different.
Originally I wanted to design an infested-themed warframe called "Oculus", with his abilities focusing on - you guessed it - sight and weapons. He was to see through walls, carry heavy weapons, can tank hits, and dominate the Index...but I just go so busy the idea sat collecting dust. While I was experimenting with Yoji Shinkawa's style, I decided to give Oculus new life.
