[Dota2] – Phantom Asassin – TBD

ACap

Hello everybody! There are so many cool entries in this contest. Let me present my Phantom Asassin concepts. I am not decided yet which I will choose for 3d. Experimented with colors a bit. I hope my experiments did not changed her mood too much. Just tried to escape from basic cold theme. Anyway colors are not final yet and 100% will be changed during texturing. I have one more concept to create before jumping into zbrush.

Spudnik

The 3rd one looks really cool, but I'd adjust the colors to match your first concept. Maybe keep some of the color palette that you have right now in smaller role as accents.

BttLsht

Third one it is and also has mentioned everywhere you should all ways keep the same base colours.

Futashia

nice concepts! but keep in mind you CAN'T re-design the bracers, torso (the texture on her actual body), pants or boots. So keep in mind when you design, you do have some boundaries to work in.

Keep this list in mind!

D-TiMeR

3rd one plz!

Fingus

I agree, the third one is boss! But keep in mind the limitations of what you can swap out and how they fit on the rig. Download the model from the workshop page and take a look at how she is set up.

foeffa

3rd one = like a boss !

ACap

Spudnik, BttLsht - Thank you. Completely agreed.
Futashia - Great thanks, You saved a lot of my time) How could I lose that?)
D-TiMeR, foeffa - 3rd - Thank you, of course, but it will have serious changes because of base mesh limitations.
Fingus - Thank you. I downloaded model, but did not read specifications thoroughly, so I thought I have more room for manoeuvres)
Final concept will be tomorrow. It was almost completed, but I forgot it on my job yesterday) More progress soon. Thank you for replies, it very helpful.

TweaK

I agree, 3rd design is great and I love most of the weapons.
Anyway, I'd try some different shapes for the cape and also maybe change the inner details of the weapon of the 3rd concept. I really like the 3rd weapon on the 4th pic too

Trakesh

I think when or rather before texturing this you should go back to PA's original colour scheme. All the sets are pretty cool though and I think they fit her well.

ACap

TweaK - Thank you. I saw her cape in the game and it is really fluid when she moves, so I decided not to experiment with it too much an leave it almost default, but not so weary. I love 3rd weapon in 4th set too, but I think original tier 3 weapon will better represent the set.
Trakesh - Thank you. I will use default color scheme, thought it would be interesting to make things different. If I would have a chance to make full new set - it would be definitely other.

And as I promised - my finished concept. Already jumped to the 3d. Low poly almost completed. News soon. Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate that:)

BttLsht

Keep on now that the colours are in theme only thing that is weird she cant see inside this helmet.

ACap

BttLsht - Thank you. I decided to make sort of magic glowing lens in her helmet. I think it will looks cool.

Well guys, it is pretty much done. Everything is modeled, UVed, sculpted, baked and painted. Now it is time for some adjustments, Creating masks and importing. I am so afraid of this moment - Hope everything will be ok)

foeffa

omg love it

Beezow

Helmet looks a bit too superhero-ish, if you know what I mean. Reminds me of the batman.

cakeypigdog

This is looking great so far

ACap

MediumTurquoise, cakeypigdog - Thank you.
Beezow - Thank you, you are right. I will even amplify this feeling with glowing eyes. Batman is coming to dota 2)

I am now working over my exporting. Progress soon.

Spudnik

Don't take this the wrong way, but everything looks a bit bland. I don't mean dull or boring, but rather that a lot of the colors are the same everywhere. Play around with some accents, tint the shadows a bit with another color for example and I'd also suggest doing some heavier gradients. Really nice and especially fast progress, great job!

ACap

Spudnik - Thank you. I think my eye was a bit tired, so word of wisdom is really helped. I played with gradients a bit and I think it now looks better. Did not tryed to export yet - was busy with my Clinkz. Will try to export soon, before deadlne of course)

typo

great work.

ACap

typo - Thank you.
Some presentation work. Everything is almost done.

ACap

Hello, polycounters. After a lot of helpful critics I decided to move colours closer to the original color scheme and darkened all items. Those white stripes was to intense. Also tried to make accent on the weapon and head-shoulders area. Ingame renders will add more with masks applyed. I think it became a bit better.

naruSol

I'd be interested to see if you could work in some of the silver from her breastplate elsewhere. Even on the original design it stands out a lot amongst all the shadowy blues and grays.

ACap

naruSol - Thank you. I thought about it, and for now found, that the best place for shiny part - is her breast. It just look odd in the game, when bright silver is too much) Though I will make some helmet details brighter to put there more accent.

ACap

Final.
