[Dota2] – Enchantress – Autumn Rising

Anuxinamoon

Finals!










New thread for new armour!

Doing a more forest theme for this one. Maple skirts with fox tails, I'm going for a spring time colour scheme to match her green and gold armour colour pallet.

Here's hoping I can pull it off!

Here's what I have so far from the original mock up

luckycat

simple and nice. the heart engraved is an added feature, she is a charmer lol

Anuxinamoon

Thanks Luckycat, I'm trying to make h er look a little more cute, something for the girls out there.

High poly update! Got everything done except the hat. Going to bust that out tomorrow morning, then retopo *groan*

Some Jerk

Hm, I think those horns look odd. Perhaps change them so they don't have the odd fusion thing going on?

shanks37

i miss the shaggy unicorn look : /

Avanthera

Oh nice! Do you think you'll be able to squeeze a third set in?

I like everything you have so far, not to hot for the horns and the big medallion on her chest though.

The horns feel weird starting on either side and merging to the center, and the medallion feels strange just sitting on her chest by itself, a big circular piece on top of this organic looking top.

D4V1DC

number two already looks nice, gj!

LuCh!

having to many great idears that you're making more sets? xP
well, i'm liking it so far, now the difficulty will be to make it look different enough from your other set, but that'll manly depend on the texturing I think

Anuxinamoon

All right! Thanks for the feeback! :D

I agree on the horns thing, so I converted back into a unicorn for now. Should I do the cute small horn or the massive epic horn like before?

The medallion... I see your point Shrew81. I'm hoping the clasp reads well but I'm not even sure I'll have enough tris to put it in there and might have to cut it. We shall see when retopo comes along.

Shanks37: I know! But I wanted this one to be more foresty. hence the leaves. (Plus sculpting fur is harder) haha I'm so lazy

LuCh!: Omg so many ideas! If I have time after this and the weapons I'm going to try and bust out one for naga siren. Got some ideas to do a lionfish themed Julie Bell mermaid outfit on her. haha.
I'll definitely keep the colours in mind for this one to help make it not look like the last set! Thanks

All right small update. Hair was a total mess until 5 minutes ago when I flattened it all out and went with a layered look. It totally looked like a super sayan for so long. It was really annoying to look right. I still haven't nailed the look I'm going for but it's going more towards the right direction I think.

divi

you are quite a busy bee, aren't you?
looking nice, just like the other one

Some Jerk

Well Enchantress is supposed to be cute and bubbly, so a pair of small cute horns might work for her.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks I'ma stick with uni horn for now.

Finished high poly and I'm just playing around with some colour ideas...

kageko

loving the design, i kinda wish the sleeve was on both sides though and let the shoulder do the asymmetry for the piece

Anuxinamoon

If I have the polys, I'll make it for both sides

Thanks!

Anuxinamoon

Okies got the low baked down with all the maps (save point light map) I even baked over the poly paint from zbrush for fun.

Lots still to clean-up but its like 37C here at 10:30am so this is all I can muster this morning. Argh!

danidem

I frekin' love it!

Use a fan!! :P

Anuxinamoon

Thanks Dani! No fan could save me today. bleh.

For fun I did a compilation of all the parts in game to see how it looked.


I'll get stuck into texturing tomorrow

Tvidotto

Awesome progress! I will keep following

Coridium

Love the high poly and the polypaint, just wonder if the colours look a little bit to desaturated ingame? (I don't really know the character, but the weapon looks to have a bit more saturation in it.) Anyway its looking cool!

Anuxinamoon

Yeah I totally hear you! The good thing is I can tweak the colours really easily so if they need more saturations on some areas I can do that Thanks for pointing that out!

Okay got a little bit of texturing done. Let me know what you think of these colours.

Managor

It's actually good that you got rid of the color in the heart. Fits better with her other clothes.

tfmcmahon

Looking awesome. I'm not crazy about the hard color transitions in the hair and the tails on her belt armor. Maybe if it were a little closer to the way her deer torso fur looks. Overall great job.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks! Yup, they were just block outs, I smoothed them a bit more as I progressed.

Okay I'm almost done for the first pass before tight polish. I changed up the colours on the leaves and that made SO MUCH difference! The only issue I have is with the fur at the front.. the red just bleeds into the body colour and I'm lost as to what colour to use.

So some colour theory help on that would be SO HELPFUL!

I'm going to reduce the white in her hair some more... I'm not liking the overbearingness of it now that I look at it.

Maybe you could go with a darker and less saturated color. Like a warm grey perhaps. Something that makes it feel like not part of her own fur.

Personally, I think keeping the leaves more green would help them stand out more. The way they gradate to warm colors kind of makes it blend with her fur. Can you change the color of her skin and fur?

Maybe those heart amulets could be carved from wood. Would be a nice way to add some chunky grain details that would also feel more one with nature and all that.

Vindalia

Awesome, glad to see that you are doing another outfit set! And you are speedy too.. all of that in 5 days! For the head-piece I rather liked one of the original colorations where the edges of the leaves were green. That way, the leaves have more contrast against her brown hair/fur.

Dude! You are the best! I tried it and it works!!! Thanks!!!

I'll have a go at going back to the green too.

Right now I'm blowing stuff up and rearranging some things, as when I view it in the game it just amounts to nothing. And after some serious chats with Troy I'm going to push it more and see what happens.

Anuxinamoon

All right adjustments time!

AbKI

That design is so cute, I love it! ^_^

Some Jerk

Awesome. It's gone from looking decent to looking amazing.

neal_liddle

Your on a roll!! Some really nice use of the colors!

JGcount

Nice work. Imo, the green is just a TAD too pure right now. I would pull the whole thing down just a bit and get a more autumn look

Trakesh

Nobody has said it yet so I'm gonna ask.

You ever played Monster Hunter? Because that's all I can think of.

That's not a bad thing by the way. In fact if you feel like it could improve I would only suggest that you take inspiration from wherever you can. This armor also seems to be a rather popular design in Monster Hunter.

ACap

Very well. Those leafs really add power to the silhouette. But im my opinion it too saturated. I would decrease saturation at all and on the lower leafs especially - to add some volume. Cool progress so far. Keep rocking. I think we will see more cool threads from you before contest deadline.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks guys! I made a few adjustments to the values and saturation, thanks for the suggestions :D:D:D


I'm going to call it for now. Onto the weapons I've been procrastinating over.

Baj Singh

I think you've nailed it tbqh, really nice work.

Trakesh

I feel the horn is too long, taking off around 25% of it will probably make it perfect. Right now the size is kind of hard to take seriously when its more than twice the length of her head.

crazyone

looking nice )

Anuxinamoon

Thanks guys!

Knocked out a weapon proxy. I think it might be too long though. Might have to take it down a bit.

Yup I love monster hunter :D

It started out very Kirin inspired but I tweaked it into oblivion I think :<

Now its more gold rathian looking (the skirt only)

Anuxinamoon

Finished the high of the weapon!

bounchfx

fantastic, excellent job Anuxinamoon!

JGcount

Great job on taking the colours down a notch. LOVE them right now.

The weapon looks great. Also, the horn - I would ad a rotating crease around it like a unicorn/narwhale horn.

Great job, really

dArth

OMG that weapon ! :poly142:

Best mod I've seen for now.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks Bounchfx and dArth!

JGcount: Yeah I want to do the narwhal horn on her head piece! It should match the weapon a bit better that way Thanks!

Tvidotto

man, this is looking awesome! =]

Robbiek1000

Great work so far! It fits the character really well, especially the spear! How did you manage that asset compilation within the Dota 2 uploader? I've only been able to view one item at a time. Did I miss something?

Anuxinamoon

Thanks Tvidotto!
Robbiek1000: I just compiled them in photoshop. I can only view one at a time too, so I just loaded each one up, screengrabbed it and compiled it in PS.

New in game with set and weapon (complied) Almost done the weapon to a first pass texture.

Anuxinamoon

All right! Textures done! Just gotta rig it nicely and do them mask maps, then setup my presentation! Howzzat for a pose?

shanks37

jesus, your like a machine.

any plans for set number 3? :P

Anuxinamoon

Hahah! Well I have one more weapon to do for the first set... Then I gotta polish and all that.

But if I was to do a next set it would be another female character

FractaL

Great work! Saw this in the google hang out.
