[Dota 2] - Brewmaster - Inebriate Force

Donavonyoung

I finally nailed down the character I wanted to do. I have the most connection with his story and I personally love to brew beer, so for me this is a great fit. Can't wait to see what you all bring to the table. Cheers!!

Concept it up or it doesn't happen!

Donavon doesn't need concepts, just mouth trumpet quartets.

I am the King of mouth trumpeting.

Here is kind of the mood board\geo test for the Brewmaster. I am thinking about going with the standard rice wine jar for the weapon offhand barrel, and for the main weapon, its a bamboo staff, with another smaller rice wine jar that is tied onto the end. This is linked by a rope that goes aroung the entirety of the cap of the jar. It'll be more illustrated when I get some textures in. I may switch the larger barrel up to give it more variety though. The scroll in the back is going to be for his brewing secrets, but right now it is just a size test. At this point I am not entirely sure. I also got the color pallette set up so I can get in some base textures, and sculpt some detail quickly. I also built this with both LOD sets in mind. Would love some C&C, though there isn't much at this point.

Looking good, MORE!

careful the scroll doesn't end up reading as a rolling pin.
and are you planning on doing the fabric cap for the jar or something more solid?

Be sure to avoid any established designs for League of Legends' GRAGAS: https://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=League+of+Legends+gragas&bpcl=35243188&ion=1&biw=1680&bih=965&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=8yh3UJXFK-Xx0gGzkYG4Bw

Another keg wielding fool.

@reverndk I was thinking more of the cloth cap. I really like the look and I think it fits well within his personality\origin.
@Adam Good catch mate. I am going to do some google searches for fat guys with kegs to make sure I don't tread to closely to any designs
@DigitalCantina Cheers!!

Donavonyoung

This is a quick barrel test to please ignore all the error in the maps, just trying to get a feel on where I would like to go. Any C&C is always welcome.

I hate to burst your idea but there's something pretty similar already in the game.

Yep I have seen this already, if you notice this is just a test for colors and design. There will be many more of these as I go till I find a design I like. Also if you notice the design I have is already a bit different than the one you linked.

Polygoblin

Haha, looking sweet already! Can't wait to see how you work the rest. Nothing to crit/suggest at this point.

Donavonyoung

Just wanted to try out a broken jar for the main weapon. Let me know what you think.
