[Dota 2] - Lina - Flame Dancer

DesireeFernandes

Hello everyone. This is my Dota 2 WIP thread, and my first actual Polycount post. I decided to combine the idea of a bellydancer's outfit with the theme of flame. Seeing as Lina is from a desert area, I figured this would be thematically sound. This is my first time ever working with a character concept or character items, so any advise or critique is welcome and appreciated.

I have two different options for the hair; one is half pulled back and more remiscent of her original hairstyle, while the second one is pulled back on two levels.



Here is a silhouette minus the hair so that the pieces and the headpiece can be viewed more easily:



Thanks again.

I'm liking it. I like the second hairdo most.

I really like this! It fits the style really well! Good luck!!!

I think the first hairdo has a much more interesting silhouette.

Just a small update on the state of the head and neck items. The colors are just for easier viewing. The necklace will not look like that in the end, the plane will have alphas to make the necklace shown in in the concept.

She is beautiful. But rememder - do not make too small details - they will be lost because of the distance. I would concentrate on the silhouette - bid details that will be discernible from far away. Good progress so far.Make it flame)

Here are the finished LOD1 items. I haven't figured out how to use smoothing groups in Max yet, so try to look past the bad shading. The skirt will be using alphas to produce the flame shapes shown in the concept image, as will the upper arm pieces.

Nice silhouettes. This should read well in game.
