[Dota2] – Windrunner – Lyralei's Set

Qwiggalo

Jimo, J4CK and myself, Qwiggalo, are designing a set for Windrunner for the competition. We are designing a look that complements an item we designed for Windrunner a few months ago called Lyralei's Breeze. We understand that keeping the story and the integrity of the characters design is important, so the challenge is creating an item which enhances the character instead of taking away from it. We want to make this the best set we possibly can, so all constructive criticism is welcome!

• Updated post

The design for the set is heavily inspred by the way leaves curl in the wind. Windrunner is the god child of the wind, so making sure the set feels organic and nature-esque is important. The hair is one of the most important aspects of the set. We decided to go with a Fishtail Braid because of the care free, and almost natural look of it.

• Lyralei's Braid (Hair)
• Lyralei's Mantle (Shoulder)
• Lyralei's Guise (cloak)
• Lyralei's Quiver (Quiver)
• Lyralei's Breeze (Bow) This set was designed to compliment this item. The bow is not part of the competition entry

We will be keeping our P3D page up to date with the latest version of the model to show off our progress. Keep checking back for more updates!

• Hair (WIP)

Still working on this one. We just finished updating the shoulder piece and we're looking for some feedback

We are thinking about changing her scarf with a new design. Something which wraps around her and trails off with a movable bone so it flows behind her when she runs.

The small leaves on the shoulder seem to be too small to be noticeable in-game. Also, the design is gonne rely heavily on the texture to make those spiky ends of the shoulders not seem too aggressive and more naturally flowing if that makes sense.

I completely agree with the feathers being to small, we shall fix that right away.

And about the textures, we have pulled off a similar type of design but kept within the nature-esque look of Windrunner before with this item: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=87602068 The aesthetic will be similar.

Windrunner has many hidden secrets

Qwiggalo

The infamous windrunner bulge. She tells us it's the wind messing with her.

Really starting to ramp things up on this one. Concepts for the quiver:

JimoUK

Relatively small images, but here are some concepts for the front side colour scheme of the shoulders. Looking for some feedback, especially on the left side. I will be doing a side profile soon.

JimoUK

Bumping this one up. Really looking for some feedback before I begin to finalise the cloak design.

JimoUK

More concept updates. I have two versions of the quiver to choose from also. The arrows aren't done just yet.

Those shoulderpads need some serious work. What is the left one, two horns, I dont even know.

Could sworn I've seen these somewhere before.

Rik

Of the two options, I'm voting option 1, though it still looks a bit dull. What if you made the bottom of the quiver into a more interesting shape, rather than the boxy look it currently has? Maybe carry out the arcs and have it end with more of a taper and curvature similar to the arrows on top?

Thanks for feedback. I'll make a few revisions later today when I finish work. I'm pretty sure I understand what you mean
