I like the ears and the patterns in the fur, but the hind legs look a bit too meaty and the I think the shoulders need to be brought out and defined more.
Thanks for the crit, Spudnik! I wanted to make the hind legs more lion-like, muscular and less stylized, but I do think the effect needs to be a bit more subtle, as the proportions look a bit off. Thanks for pointing out both things, I'll keep working on them!
The amount of detail you have on the whole mount is really, really borderline. Less is more here, go for big, easily readable shapes since most of the finer detail just gets lost ingame.

This. The portion at the center of the forehead on the mask and the area just above the shoulders are really cool and probably the closest you have to something readable at a distance. They are some very, very nice details, though.
We are still working on the Mirana set, which was delayed due to our desire to retopologize the mount again and make it more suitable for the animation.
We're currently working on two sets for Furion and Weaver. We are also planning to do a courier, but we can't tell you anything about it yet!
Nice set! My only criticism would be the horn at the front. Everything about the design is flowing towards the back and that horn breaks that flow quite drastically. Nice to see someone giving Weaver some love, I keep finding reasons to put off making me set.
How did you go about separating the items since they didn't upload multiple files? I've been looking around for answers, but I'm still having trouble. I tried manually separating Mirana from her mount, but once I did, the tri limit was exceeding 2500, which is supposed to be the tri limit.

Hi Parhelion,
If you select by element when you import the model (3dmax) you can select each part of Mirana and detach it from the main model. You can then export either mirana or her mount to Zbrush or any other software to begin with the sculpting proccess. You don't need to worry about the number of polygons of Valve's model. It normally exceedes the limit. The limitations apply to the model that you create or retopo.

Alright, thanks! That's all I was really concerned about. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
I really love your weaver set, btw! I'm sure it will get in the game. He needs more items.
Keep being awesome! I hope I can get my sh*t together enough to be this good.
We just finished our Furion set. We finally decided not to make the treants and focus on other sets, but if there's enough demand, we will create them too!
It was done for the spring event in 10 days (we thought the deadline would be today!) so it's not as refined as we would like, but it's a start we are definitely happy with!

Awesome for a first courier :thumbup: I do feel though that the preview thumbnail for Yin does not have the same impact as Jin, and I feel it does not properly represent the quality of the item. Maybe just having a more pulled out shot would help in this case. Regardless great work!

the chinese word is inverted, just sayin'
here is the correct font for reference: 金 , 银 . and it is literally means gold and silver, but the couriers are looks more like Yin Yang / Black and white to me... ah well, just a name for a courier. just if you could, just revert the words to readable side one haha XD
Hi agito666! If you're referring to the black fox, we had to flip Yin's promo image horizontally for the steam banner, just for aesthetic purposes. The courier ingame actually looks like this:
Thanks for pointing that out, kite212! We were kinda in a rush, thinking today was the deadline. Now that we have some extra days, I will make sure to refine his thumbnail!

owh, but it will be better too you flip the Yin's word too XD
I am glad I looked into this thread. This VS set is worth seeing definitely. You should also post it in general dota thread so more people would be able to see it!!! Upvoited... and still looking for my lower jaw on the floor... If that will not be added into game I will be shocked

Thanks!! You can see some ingame screenshots here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=140938375
Sure it was, reverendK :P
Here's an update for the SB set:
All the textures and the skirt are in wip status. The skirt is also missing some final geometry.
Here is a comparative image and some progress shots of the HD model:

Here's a wip screen of Weaver's head:
TRANSLATION: I love the Weaver set!
We'll upload the set into the workshop soon, almost done!
Thank you for the critique, Hudson!
I have a question about the Mirana mount.

Thank you Reyne!!
Agreed! I love, love, LOVE this set! Great job!
We just released a set for Vengeful Spirit based on her past life as princess of the Ghastly Eerie :
Hope you like it!
*kneels* Excellent work!
