So hi there polycount. This will be my first WIP thread i have ever made, so I am a little anxious, but I hope that it will be fine.

So what I am going to do is an item set for broodmother, because in my opinion she is the most interesting champion in Dota 2. And what I am going to do is pretty much Brood mother, but replacing her legs with half synthetic (cyborg like) legs, and a new opisthosoma. Which will instead be a synthetic test-tube platform were her babies will be in. And lastly I will do a remake of the spiderlings and make them in to cyborg spiders.

I will place a little quick sketch of what i wanted to do, right below this text.

    this is a cool idea but keep in mind dota's setting is fantasy. just keep it looking more magic than technology and you should be fine though.

    Oddly enough there was another mechanical broodmother set in the workshop that was met with a ton of resistance. Not entirely sure what happened, but I think it's floating in an odd limbo where valve can't decide whether to add it or not.

    Not gonna tell you not to do this, but just a reminder that it might end up in limbo next to blademother. Like shanks37 said, try to lean towards more fantasy and less sci-fi.

    Thanks guys, maybe if I make it look like cocoons instead of tubes? And make the metal legs look like added parts by a crazed necromancer?
  • shanks37
    nah, definitely stick with the tubes idea, its a lot cooler.

    attaching metal legs to a giant spider is more an artificers job but yeah, you get the idea :P

    that should work great if you make the metal brass or pig iron with maybe some leather or canvas straps to hold them in place.

    I really need to start working on this WIP thing, I am damn bad at it!
    So I am done with the abdomen, and soon done with the legs. I will post pictures below, and I will also put up pictures of the sketches that I have done as concept art, because the first is quite messy.

    So here we go:

    I also had exporting issues ( following with a picture ):

    So I have not seen how it looks inside Dota 2 yet. Help would be appreciated, because there seems to be a skinning issue =3

    C&C welcome and appreciated

    I told myself that I would post more WIP pics and posts, but no I have not. I am terrible at it. I sit and work for 5 hours straight till my hands bleed, then fall asleep. And the sum of this is that I forget to post at my on WIP thread. I am ashamed...

    Anywhom, I am pretty much done with my item set, made a preview for it. The thing is, I have one little step left to take, get the items in to Dota 2. I cant import my item set. Same problem as before, just look at my old post. But I will try to reinstall my Dota 2 client, to see if that will help me with my problem. Also I will try to upload my stuffs from another computer as well.

    But here is a picture of what I have done, and I ill stay in touch over the coming days.
    Polycount, I love you for the extension!
