"The Mega Stug", concepts of every possible variant of the Stug from Warframe, August 2023
In July 2023, bluprint on Twitter made a joke tweet about someone drawing a version of the Stug, a weapon from Warframe, with every known weapon variant in the game. My response was to actually do this, first drawing the default Stug and then to draw every possible variant of it (excluding -cyst, as both I and bluprint had forgotten it). At the end, every variant was then combined into a "Mega Stug", using masked layers to collage them all together.
Though the drawings themselves are rough and aren't very representative of my current skills, this was still good practice and a good study of weapon visuals in Warframe!

Screenshot of bluprint's original tweet about the idea.
The Mega Stug but minus the Dual, Twin, and Ak- modifiers to show just a singular one.
Exalted, based on Excalibur's Exalted Blade.
Incarnon, based on the icons for Incarnon Genesis upgrades.
Dex, sporting metallic Lotus decals.
Proboscis, based on the Proboscis Cernos.
Mutalist, based on the Mutalist Quanta and the Mutalist Cernos but sporting it's own unique color palette based on contrasts from the Stug's original colors.
Arca, based on the Arca Plasmor, Arca Sisco, and Arca Titron.
Umbra, based on Umbra Excalibur and the Skiajati.
Prime, the first one I changed the outline for to accommodate the many extra decals Prime variants often have.
Tenet, sporting Tenet patterning and glowing circuitry.
Kuva, in all of it's glowy-ness.
Vandal, sporting extra fancy lights.
Wraith.
Sancti, with New Loka patterning and colors.
Secura, with Perrin Sequence-inspired lights and patterning.
Rakta, with Red Veil patterning and colors.
Vaykor, with Steel Meridian patterning and colors.
Synoid, with Cephalon Suda patterning and lights.
Telos, with Arbiter's of Hexis patterning and colors.
Carmine, based on the Carmine Penta.
Mara, same as Prisma but orange and with a few metallics.
Prisma, same as Mara but blue, no metallics, and a little patterning.
Ak-/Twin/Dual, which is just two of the default Stug placed next to each other.
The default Stug. Also counts for Mk-1 cause Mk-1 weapons don't have unique visuals.
