[DotA2] - Pudge - WerePudge

My concept art for Werepudge

WerePudge
Hidden in the depths of the Fields of Endless Carnage lie the shattered bones and splayed flesh of creatures that dared cross the path of the Butcher. But amidst the lifeless, lies a werewolf, mortally wounded but not yet consigned to death. As Pudge naps from the endless pursuit of carnage, the werewolf strikes, biting and infecting him. The transformation that ensues will result in a form too terrifying to fully describe.

I've roughed out the head to where I'd like it, and Im now working on finishing my ideas for the shoulder pad and armament and separate concept art for the weapons. Thinking of incorporating a full moon into the design of the sickle.

Any critiques, comments and/or questions are welcome and appreciated!

lol this is neat, if you can make this work, that would be great for you. But be careful not to cross into Lycan's design territory (the hero)

I'm hoping that's not the case. WerePudge seems to be a lot more beast-like. I can even probably ramp up the blood on WerePudge's parts to show an even bigger distinction . Thanks for the comment!

You didn't forget the morbid style
Make sure not to forget it and it will be great

Make sure to sculpt your low poly with a tiny 256x128 texture in mind. Mirror as much as possible! 300 polycap as well on it so you wont be able to do a crazy amount of unique hair alpha planes.
Im making a large mask for my pudge as well and its been a tough ride.
gl!

It isn't that much of Pudge's theme. Most probably won't be accepted.

Pudge's lore says he is made of different corpses, feeding himself with corpses, and maybe were-wolves corpses.
Make many were-wolf parts, I think it can go well.

I got a tip for you : keep in mind that Pudge is like Frankenstein's monster. He is made by different corpses !
So don't forget that each part must look like they are from a different guy each time.
For skin, it works well with the same color, because he's made with dead white guys, and white skin takes almost the same color after death.
With fur, it is different, fur doesn't become a little light green, so make different fur colors and patterns for each part ! :poly142:

I like the idea, good job.

Somehow I doubt Pudge is even able to get any kind of infection anymore. I mean, look at him.

agreed, you would do yourself a favor by keeping the hair in-game green. Not only will you not get hassled about the color change, but a lot of players really like that green on him. It's a small thing but it won't do you any harm by sticking with his established hair color.

Got the heads and arm-piece sculpted out (Bearing claws and hairy knuckles) and got the poly's to within limit and texture size within limit! Concepted out the weapon so next step is modeling it. Hope to have it done in a few days!

Thanks everyone so much for the critiques and comments! the hair definitely looks better green.

And good luck with your Pudge, Sith Happens, it's looking good so far!
