This is purely in concept form right now. Needless to say, I'm not the artist and therefore my concept art is a little rough. Based on feedback, I could even get our proper artist to do something a little better.
A couple notes:
The hand drawn weapon is definately up in the air. I'm thinking about giving it the shape of the silver guitar with the flame texture of the other one.
The Flying-V with a blade on one side is still an option, though.
Proper artist renditions and possibly some initial modelling work to come!

Dota 2 is more strict on its artstyle than TF2 as well, this seems too comical to make it into the game. Check out a couple of the accepted items on the workshop to get a feel for what Valve is looking for.
Turns out assuming that any of the skinnable heros would be accepted in the contest is a bad thing to do.
Ah well. Back to the drawing board.
