[Dota2] – Broodmother – Plated Arachnia

WhiteDevil

Heya, I am planning to do a set for broodmother and here's a quick concept of what I'm planning to do



So I'm going to make this menacing looking armor on top of her.
It's going to use the Back, Legs, Head and Misc slots.

A similar idea was made by Valve but it got rejected by the community. If you make it so that it fits for brood, it could work...

I'll dig around and try to find an image of it.

EDIT: Ah here we go... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=68415976

My drawing skills aren't the best so show what I'm really after but it will definitely fit broodmother's style that's for sure.
I will be replacing the original abdomen and legs for this.

still pending
4 stars
rejected by the community

lolwut?

the only problem with that other one is that it's too simple and chunky. if your going to be making armour for a sleek and sexy mama spider you'd best make it sleek and sexy too :P

It caused a small uproar on different boards. It seems that Valve not only check the stars for approving.

And by rejected by the community I only mean community. It's still on the workshop without the rejection mark because it's not that radical.

yeah, you can go ahead and colour me skeptical on that one. if valve bothered to scour the internet for dissenting opinions then half life 3 would never be finish... wait a minute...

valve doesnt check the star rating either by the way. there are a huge number of 3 star items that have already added to the shop.

WhiteDevil

Some more detailed concepts. The armor is going to have some web-like kinda thing going on.

Hey I like that idea of a web-like thing going on on the armor. I'm guessing you are doing the spiderlings as well? I'm most likely going to create a Broodmother set so I'll follow your progress for sure.

Keep it up! :thumbup:

WhiteDevil

Some early modeling thingies.

WhiteDevil

Trying to sculpt some details and I really suck at mudbox but progress anyway.
Webs needs to be redone though they are so small that they pretty much would look just noise in game.

WhiteDevil

Doing a much better job now with back armor which almost just finished, this is probably my fifth ever try doing anything with mudbox and I've learned so much. I now know exactly what I'm going to do with the rest of the pieces so I'll get them done more quickly.

WhiteDevil

Managed to get the back plate in game. It clips kinda badly with broodmother's original geometry but my low poly model was so simple that I still got loads of tris to spare so that will do nicely to round up the armor and get it fit nicely.
