Good thing about this 2 week extension is I get to make a set I concpeted in October!

I wanted to do a kind of pom pom set for Crystal maiden. Something cute and girly.

Skiffy

Ah it begins. I have my drink and popcorn ready for the show!

marul

Why am I not surprised to see yet another set from you?

I loved the hair and the cape, they will make this set unique. Not sure about the staff though, maybe you could play with the proportions a bit.

Some Jerk

You really seem to love making amazing sets for the heroes with pretty faces. But oh well, crystal maiden works her ice off and it never hurts to see her getting more love. Looking forward.

artquest

haha how did I know. The second I saw we got an extension I knew you we're going to end up making at least 1 more set :P

Anuxinamoon

haha thanks guys

SomeJerk: Only wanna do females for now. They need more fashion choices!

Update: Got a blockout going!

Okoo

Omfg you again ! You are so awesome ! too many great concept and good 3d skill!!

D.Dragoon

I really hope that this and the slithereen set make it in (here's to hoping for a windrunner set).

TJ062

oh boy, here we go again

Favreau

OMG i love all your works, Anuxi

Please Please consider making Death Prophet's set next

I am going to buy all your works when they appear on the shop.

LOL Spudnik.


Go go anuxi!

Anuxinamoon

LOL! oh you guys

Okies I've been taking it a bit slow this week because of the summer heat. I'm almost done the high poly, weapon and jewels I still need to polish.

Caldria

The fur is looking gorgeous!

RyanAxel

I cannot even describe how awesome this is. You are seriously talented. Love the idea, and the sculpt looks amazing, especially the rope parts Cant wait to see it finished.

Clyptic

Great sculpt, i'm curious about the rope. Is that one sculpted mesh or did you wind some together?

Naso

Your an unstoppable force at this point, if you don't get a job offer from valve or someone else I would honestly be surprised. But if not, best of luck to you and all those amazing sets that you have made already. I'm willing to speculate that all of your sets are going to be added into the game at some point if not in December and you are going to me a really decent amount of money from the revenue! Anyway, great stuff, thanks for giving us the pleasure.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks guys! :D:D:D

Clyptic, I manually plated zspheres to get the plats

Update! Highpoly done! Time for retopo!

BrontoThunder

I think this my be my favourite of yours

You keep out-doing yourself, I hope (and I'm sure the rest of the Dota 2 community does too) that you continue to make sets after this contest is over.

Favreau

More reasons to play CM again & again

Keep up the great work, Anuxi.

All the best.

Okoo

Yep, me too

Farfarer

Really liking the wind-swept, snug hood fur.

The bracers aren't doing much for me, though - a bit plain. Perhaps work in some of the wraps that she has on her leg fur to help break it up a little - at least on one arm?

bluerebel

This is my favorite from all the sets you've made for the contest. Other sets I've had major issues with lore, color scheme, and recognition, but I'm pretty sure this one doesn't have those (although you are pushing recognition to its limits by the locks of the hair, as well as the pompom on top of the hood. otherwise I have no qualms)

Anuxinamoon

Finally got my LOD0 baked and ready to texture

Got the base colours down. What do you all think?

naruSol

Only suggestion I have is if you can't change the fur on the boots, to just make your own fur match it a little better.

Can't touch the base model. Nice work

OrganizedChaos

I don't know- I can see where narusol is coming from. What you've got is nice, but it could probably use a bit more white than blue in the fur. You could probably pull off keeping a white-> blue gradient, but right now it's reading as a completely different fur than what's in the original texture.

Anuxinamoon

Yup I totally know that haha. The blue there now is just the base colour for the fur, the white is the highlight part which I will paint on later.
I didn't want to start with the white as I like more mid range base colours where I can easily go up and down when detailing. Starting with white limits me to only going down. Anyway long story short, in the end my aim is to match it to the boots as close as I can.

lotrein

Isn't the part on the hood supposed to be a hair? Didnt think that this is fur..

gwaga

Please consider changing her hair back to blonde. It alters the character far too much. She is very well known for having blonde hair and the community probably won't like it. It sort of damages her personality/style.

Naso

I'm just wondering if you are going to throw another surprise set at us lol. Good job tho, came out really well, just have work on the colors a bit!

D.Dragoon

If there is one last set in your tank then I hope you go for Windrunner.

Anuxinamoon

thanks guys for the comments!

On a bit of a tangent, I tested out my rigs in game today. What a pain in the ass that was but I managed to get them looking decent!

Clyptic

Looks awesome! Nice work....as usual.

Anuxinamoon

Thanks Clyptic!

Okies I think the textures are pretty much done. Simple and clean, just how I like em!

bounchfx

I'm going to assume you're taunting us. For Science.


You monster.

Shiv

Daammnn, you are a machine, a fantastic arty machine

Anuxinamoon

Hahah yeah well this machine is shutting down for maintenence pretty damm soon. Beeo boop.

Thanks for the support guys It's great motivation!

All done! Wooooo!

Caldria

Really fantastic final result. Definitely my favourite!

JacqueChoi

So.... when you make a bjillion dollars from all the items you sell, can you please fly me to your yacht party in your private jet?

thx.





^_^

Pina

You will certainly have a winner or more from all these submissions.
This is one is awesome as usual, but I still prefer the works you did on Naga Siren.

Fritzzz

Nice job! I really like the braids

crazyfingers

Your works are phenomenal, where do you get the energy!? Very inspiring and instructive videos too. I've done nothing but fumble with zbrush but after watching a couple I think I may have to try my hand at this dota character stuff again. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your workflow with us.

Seriously some wicked cool shyt that I look forward to seeing in game!

Pemaktitkis

i just hope you will keep making your awesome stuff for dota 2 after this contest

Anuxinamoon

Crayfingers: So glad those are helpful to some people! You should definitely have a crack at a dota2 character. So much fun I tells ya!

Thanks for all the comments and support guys!

Pema: I am looking to make more after the comp but at a much, much slower rate hahaha

Skiffy

Lovely as usual. Craziness as well. I hope we get to see all your items in the game!
This has been a fun few weeks of modeling progress to watch. And it all matches with the game in the end. Designing within the box is always a fun exercise.

You make me feel very lazy and it inspires me to get off my butt and get back to finishing up some more of my personal art pieces as well Anuxinamoon!

Now go sleep for a week, you earned it.

Paskie

Ahh it's finished! Another masterpiece. Really loving those braids. Amazing work as always. Hope to see more great items after the contest as well.

sadies

Jaw-droppingly amazing run during this contest, Anuxinamoon! Wonderful work on Maiden as well as all of your other badass ladies!!

ACap

I want to thank you for inspiration during this challenge. I think your entries raised quality level of the contest at the very high level. Though I am not happy with some of my sets, forecoming will be much better) It was a very good lesson for me and I want to say thank you, for your lessons.
Beautiful design and otstanding execution. Good luck.

Spudnik

Aye! Thanks for putting up with my crap in the hangouts, all the help and raising the bar with all your awesome sets. I can't wait till they're all in game!

Naso

Yay! Glad this is a winner, congrats
