Hawf's Dota 2 Thread

Hawt Koffee

Here is where I'll be dumping dota 2 concepts and models that I've made
Here's a link to my workshop for those interested (there's a lot of really bad crap there)

That's rather overwhelming. You have some really cool drawings and it's clear you're a good artist but it's hard to give any feedback when you just post EVERYTHING that you've conceptualized whether you actually like what you came up with or not. How about just posting a few concepts that you'd like to choose from on what to work on first and then asking people which ones they think are the best? You also might want to change your attitude if you want feedback, this whole "such and such no one cared about" isn't going to get you anywhere. I remember you being kind of negative on the old thread too.

good point, it's about time I changed my attitude.

You seriously need to make that AM coat.

So goddamn sexy.

Awesome, glad to hear it. On another note I'll be glad to give feedback if you narrow down what you're working on. It's just too time consuming to go through ALL of your work especially if I give feedback on something you're not even planning on continuing.

Lennyagony

you have some really nice concepts and items here Hawt. Looking forward to seeing more of them being finished up!

Hawt Koffee

this is finished, you can check it out in the workshop thread.

Zaubereis

Hey, really sorry for not commenting before you finished this. My two cents: I feel like this is kind of flat and plain. The blade would look better if it were more "damaged" or "dirty". The handle looks like it's just a cylinder with some repeated texture. Feels a little rushed to me - it would look better with some more geometry to break it up and look more interesting or if you're out of polygons then more detail in the texture.

Jeff Parrott

Do some glowy runes in the middle of blade. Add some large cuts into it. Darken up the metal on the top and bottom of the wraps.

Hawt Koffee

textures updated

Coyo.Te

alot better now. i like the idea of the runes as well. but in the end its really up to you since its your item

detail passes

Zaubereis

Oh, I'm liking the looks of the shoulders/gloves/axe! I don't know how I feel about that cloth though, it doesn't seem to really fit his color scheme and design.

I'm readjusting the colours as I go to make sure they fit
It's my family's Irish Tartan, thought it'd be a nice tie in to the celtic theme.

Hawt Koffee

texture work
I may need to render a cavity pass on the tartan

Hawt Koffee

Textures seem to be done now, can still go back and touch them up

Hawt Koffee

decided to just make a painted pattern instead

Spudnik

Looks fantastic, I'm really digging your style!

Hawt Koffee

I might just scrap the centaur set, I'm not really happy with the end result
if anything I'd just leave the tail, swords, and belt out since they're pretty awful

in the meantime have a doom helmet concept

Hawt Koffee

acks

Hawt Koffee

revised some old concepts

Anuxinamoon

Try to blockout your silhouettes rather than just lines. Have the original there as a reminder of what you need to improve on. Bash out 10 thumbs of ideas.

Hawt Koffee

might be steering a bit far from his design

Insaneophobia

I don't think you're too far away from the design, not with the hood anyway. Maybe try to add some ocean themed things on shoulder maybe. But I like the design overall it's very cool^^

sadies

liking that buckled slark hood a lot!

Hawt Koffee

a few changes

Anuxinamoon

How are you going to break up the value distribution?

Hawt Koffee

not happy with it, probably won't work on Centaur items for a while.

Hawt Koffee

PoPcorn

I like your design for the Slark head.

Konras

Hey Hawt nice drawings here. Although I am a bit worried that you brainstorm to much. You should focus on one topic and put it to an end. You were making Slark last time, but you drew allot of skulls, bows, centaur weapons and so on. No wonder that you accuse people later about stealing ideas from you. You have so much stuff shown here that its even hard to track all of ideas. In my opinion you should limit the amount of concepts shown only to more refined one, so people will know that you are serious about theme. That's just my friendly advice.

Jalcober

Agree

Hawt Koffee

I'm being told multiple things
first I'm being told to bash out lots of varried thumbnails
now I'm being told to focus on fewer ideas
and on a side note the "accusations" seen in the other thread were called out because of blatant plagiarism.
My instructors have repeatedly mentioned every semester at my college that plagiarism will have someone expelled. I'm sick of this coming back up again and I feel like I have to say it's no longer up for discussion
anyway moving on

Jal I think you mentioned the edges here were too sharp.
what did you mean by they wouldn't bake properly?

Jalcober

Sharp edges just don't bake well into a normal map.

Hello,

I do troll around on the boards but I logged in after a long time just to tell you that you should definitely work on that deer courier you had concept for. Also, I dig Juggernaut set, particularly the one with the hood on. Horns seem out of place IMO.

Cheers,
Bhargav.

Just gonna reply for hawf here, and say that the Stag courier did get worked on, Sparkwire, myself, and Hawf created it for The Internationals 2 for Evil Geniuses, but complications made it so we didn't have it published or 100% finished.

That sucks! I would've given it 20 bucks if it were that much! I can only hope you guys continue to work on it and retry.

Edit: Why not just make it as a workshop and not dedicate it to a team?

MadSquirrel

Your centaut stuff is pretty legit, among others of course, but the stand out. Although I feel like they could use a little more detail. Bends, twists, engravings... that kinda thing.
