[Dota 2] - Witch Doctor - Origin Set

Lazlow

Hello all, first contest entry for me! Hopefully I am not too late. Have browsed previous contents but finally decided to jump in!

Looking to go for something tribal in nature but one that avoids too many cliches of excessive bone use. Here are a couple of silhouettes followed by one concept taken a little further. I think I want to concept some more before committing to 3D as I always seem to never spend enough time on this step :P

looks really good overall, i'd just remember to keep the tigerpelt and the staff fairly dark so they dont throw off his colour palette

DanBe

i agree with shanks37, try to get the colour palette pushed somewhat back to its original. Of course you can derive from the original one, but make it visually appealing. I would suggest trying to go complimentary with green, if you can.

Also play with his cape a bit more to add more silhouette to him as his body silhouette is getting lost right now.

I also think you can push the staff a bit further with its design.

Keep it up!

Lazlow

^Taken that to heart and had a second look at the colour scheme in general. Added and tweaked some existing elements too.

DanBe

i like that you enlarged the feathers on his head quiet a bit!
also the improvements n the staff are nice.

going to explore more designs? or you going with this one?

DanBe

updates good sir?

Lazlow

Apologies for lack of progress reports but here are some updates. Only covering the basic color map for the moment and I want to nail that down as much as possible, any crits and comments welcome.

Been out of action for a little while with work and vacation but here is an update. Pretty much done with it as far as maps goes for now. Need to jump into the editor and see how that runs, making any tweaks needed.
