Maybe if you add more reds to parts of the armor it'll read better as a DK set. Have you tried tinting the furs so they're more red? I love the concept and modeling though, very cool.
7thbattery: The promo art for that set makes me think of omniknight first. Kendmd's suggestion would work well, I think. Maybe if the fur's shadows were tinted red instead of blue/purple, it would read more dragon knight? I'm impressed you could get so much detail into the low poly space.
Thanks Ken and foxclover. The fur is tinted a bit. I typically put blue in my shadows and the fur shadow color is a red/brown, but I probably didn't do it enough. Good idea.
When/if I revist I may add a few more plates and definitely get more red in there.
7thBattery: I'm really sorry mate but I think it looks WAY too much like BM. I actually thought it was BM at first with a weird colour scheme.
I can appreciate that criticism. I went into this one fully anticipating people saying it just didn't look enough like DK. Although, I didn't think he'd be seen as BM or Centaur which a lot of people are saying. I just expected a lot of 'Dovakiin' comments
I think maybe losing the beard and possibly the horns on the helmet, along with the changes Ken and Fox mentioned might just differentiate it enough. I may take a breather from it and see if Valve has anything to say about it. It's really hard to just jump right back in and revisit something after putting that much work into it, especially all the presentation work. Oh well.
Grats guys! Cant wait to see all the spring 2014 awesome that is incoming, I just want to go home and work on my Gyro dragon set..... Damn yous day job!!!!!
Been quiet for a while, but just submitted my Viking-themed Dragon Knight set.
Don't really do this, but could use all the love I can get on this one. It's looking like this one will be a tough road to ho on the workshop.
Fork man, that looks awesome, I really like when people do stuff out of the box like that.
I'll agree with kendmd, maybe changing the fur color would help a bit in the reading - try making it black and the color of his hair and beard to a dark red, almost sure it will look more distinctively DK-ish.
Looking forward to see how it fares, hope it goes well, in any case it has my vote
P.S.: It looks a lot like the Nord dude in the TES: Online trailer, the beard color change may help with that too.
Not sure how new this is, but I just noticed the banner that automatically filters the China workshop stuff. I thought it was pretty cool, so I'm just gonna drop this here. Cheers!

I am, sorry I know it was mentioned here before, however someone could suggest me a good software for creating those fancy gif images that can be seen in latest submissions on workshop? I tried to use search but I have failed badly
Well i was going to make a Chinese dragon gyro set with missle pods like this:
If you would be interested I would not mind doing a Gyro colab seeing as how we are on a similar page already :poly121:
It was just a matter of time to figure out about the chinese fireworks! Our ideas are similar and compliment each other. It would be nice if we mix then togheter in one! Hit me on steam and so we can talk better!

Awesome I will add you as soon as I get home from work!
Finished the hipoly for the set I'm creating with Foxclover. I'd love to hear some feedback on it though! If anyone can tell me something I should improve before moving on to retopo and baking. Enjoy!

This is looking really good so far! The only thing I would have to say about it would be the lower teeth. I fell they are pointing forward too much, and should be angled up slightly.
@Insaneophobia Looks really fantastic. I have checked Foxclover concept for comparison. You did really good job. One thing that I liked on concept better is that blue material on bracers was wider in radius, thus it would read better from distance, maybe its something that you could look into. Other thing is mounts neck, it looks a bit to fat in side view, maybe you could slim the Adam's apple area. Of course mount shape is limited by bones location, however his body could be more S shaped. Right now head with neck feels to short compared to his long tale.
To be honest sculpt looks fantastic, and this critics is a little forced Can't wait to see more progress
More stuff got in! A mix of older sets and the new-ish Invoker set! Congrats to all! Seems like a lot of the recent patches have a lot of stuff for female heroes, seems like Drow and Windranger have gotten a bunch of new items lately
If anyone has worked with Lich before I would love some guidance here. I have created a neck item and I am basically just copying the existing skin weights to mine for testing. However, while the left side is fine, barring a few stretching problems, the right side seems to flip in on itself right at the beginning. Aside from this it rigs normally but with what should be the inside of the ice and scroll showing on the outside. Here is a picture to explain;
Anyone had this before and know if there is something blatant I am doing wrong?
Ok, these are awesome, I'm glad to see multiple item packages like this. Hopefully it means we can see even more cosmetics get accepted each patch! More chances to get your items in. At at that price point, how can you say no. Hopefully this becomes more prevalent in the future, because I think there is lots of potential here.

That was my exact thinking, this needs to be a new thing going forward for sure. and if you want to see something funny preview the weapon pack:
I agree! It completely fixes the problem that I mentioned on the Monthly Competition thread, which is that single items are really hard to get in-game. They add lots of sets every week, but single items only get added once a month on chests if we're lucky. Having more bundles like that would be pretty great to the Workshop! It makes people actually have a better reason to submit single items instead of the focus on sets that we are seeing right now. Also, the chests and stuff from the event really help to solve the same problem, but sadly those events only happen a couple of times a year. Hopefully we get more on 2014
Any critics guys ? This item will be a hammer ... for ... omniknight !
If you think that i wont burn in hell for such an idea, then i better get 'em ninja retopo skills out of the box.

Yeah, that was really pissing me off Your rig is fine, the problem is in animation of Lich. One bone is there actually twisted by 180 degree. It look fine with default chain, however every continuous material will look weird while twisted. I tried to bypass it by twisting the mesh itself along the bones, however it didn't look as good as it should, so in the end I have just rigged those parts to his upper body bones
AndrewHelenek: yeah man , for a dude who like making single items I felt that I had to do some set allso if I want to get some stuffs in betweem the 15\th of every month.
I was quite surprized to get my item accepted knowing that the chest allready dropped:).
They could had hold off a little on the particle side. Now ,my hellthorn for doom look like a big ass torch:D.

It feels something like a Mini-Chest, and in general is a pretty good idea...on the other side though i have a feeling that on the economic side this is gonna lower the returns somehow...but maybe i'm wrong.
Edit: By the way, is it the 15th of each month the deadline for the next chest? i had no idea...can you confirm?

I know the spring 2014 deadline is the 15th, as the event will most likely begin the 31st. Not sure if there is an unwritten deadline for normal monthly submissions. Also seems like they are reaching back to some older submissions recently :shifty:

I keep joking about this, but isn't a bit odd that we have to submit them under the tag "Spring 2014" in January? :poly124:
Well that calendar chart makes this all make perfect sense now, thanks for sharing! So do you guys think the next event will run from Jan 31st to Feb 6th? Seems short to me
Damn, the deadline is on the 15th? I was thinking about maybe getting a set concept and try to do something, but it is going to be pretty hard to finish everything up in less than one month, specially with Christmas next week and then New Year on the one after that, it's going to be though. Now I'm thinking about skipping this one out.
Phew, my long time collaboration project has finally made it to the workshop. It was quite the learning experience! I'd appreciate your votes and support, thanks!

Hi guys, I have a question for you guys from europe who received one or more items in the shop. I have myself three items in right now and got my first in about half a year ago but I am still wrestling with papers to get my first payment. Is the ITIN really necessary because I just got rejected to get mine because they do not accept the copy of my passport and it seems that I have to send my original, the problem is that it takes about two three months for the IRS to fix the ITIN. Is it any way around it? how did u guys fix the payment from valve? any easier way?
@TriggerHappyPuppy What I know is that IRS only accepts copied documents if they are authorized/stamped and so on by whom issued them in first time. So your passport should be authorized in same place where you get one. That should work. As for me, I am from Poland and I have sent authorized copies of my ID and driving licence (I don't have a passport) and hopefully it worked.
Other option is to directly call IRS for EIN number as many ppl did here and you will get one during the phone conversation that should be around 5 minutes. As far as I know EIN is suited for self employed artists so it should be legit Ahh in times like so I am sad that I don't live in US, things would be so much easier than

Working with Soldeus on this one. Kirin-lion mount for mirana. :>
Foxclover, you really cranking out the concepts oO.
As for China stuff, sorry but I am sitting this out. I had enough disappointments thank you.

I know how you feel bro.
Chinese lion guard courier
And Missile for gyro, I'm still trying to figure out if this kind of design works better in his back slot.
I will go further with details! These two are up for collab.
Hammer looks really good, but that Omni in the background looks a little funny :P
Also check your thread Mango. I'm interested in the missile.

Still no accepted itens for me ;_; valvus hates me
Good luck to those who didn't. >.>
