[DOTA2] - Lycan - The Forgotten

Phing

this is my concept for the dota2 armor challenge, its my take on lycanthrope. being a prince and battered by combat, i decide to give him a weathered look. as opposed to his stock set. i decided to give him some russian looking weapons, as well as armor. i want to elude to his ult, by giving him a tale belt and pelt wrapped around his shoulder, critiques and feed back please.

Good start.
I'd work on an intricate design, or large metal pieces similar to his chest to go down the crotch cloth section.
maybe a wolf head...or some other thing for a large belt buckle type thing. Did you add the lines down the legs? I don't think you can do any texture work on the base. I'm digging the double blade thing, maybe gold rings instead of silver. Adding a bit of dried blood will help to tie in some more red to that as well.
Perhaps green fletchings for the arrows to tie in that color a bit more as well.
Try a different color mixed with differnt tones for the pelt work...maybe something that will match his hair color or his wolf form. I wonder if adding a darker tone to the blades would be a good way to break up the large amount of steel. Eh, give it a quick try and see if it works.

update on the model, i have corrections to make on the concept stil as posted above.

LuCh!

not bad, I like that you added those arrows!
the weapons look a bit clumsy though, doesn't fit the style of the rest of your design either I think,

update: i altered the design of the belt. i few more adjustments, such as the way the buckle is attached need to be made yet.

no normal maps yet
defuse is about 70% done i would say

yeah i agree. the idea i initially had for the weapons isn't carried across very well in these pics. it'll be updated for sure
