Blade, I sketch out some shapes, slap on some colors on the shapes I like more, and then refine them in a paintover. Some of them are first generation, others have more extensive paintovers that change the basic silhouette. I guess I just kind of. Go. /not helpful?
Zipfinator, the second skywrath is taken (herp sorry), but I can put the dk sword on hold for you.
Snowstorm, I'll get to that tonight. ^^
Vlad, HOLY SHIT you're so fast O_O, and it looks SO AMAZING OAIWHGOIAHWEOGHWE Could I touch up the textures on the wings though? I think the blue wings could use some more shading, maybe. I know I didn't include it in the concept though, so... sorry about that. >_o

Annnnd added friends to steam whee
Sure, can't see you on the Steam friendlist though, hit me up and i'll send you the textures.
I've been really busy the last few months, but here's what I've been working on:
1. Kotl:
Unfortunately, the tail moves all whacky in game, so I've shelved this item until I can find someone for the animations. (Or I learn them myself)
2. Cm set wip:
Concepts:
For Psych:
For mechbegum:
Up for grabs (jk now it's grabbed by insaneophobia):
Working on some winter concepts for the monthly competition.
Thanks guys! The disruptor was supposed to be for the winter competition, since I designed the shoulder wraps first, but then it just got a little away from me.
Oh btw, a little tip fox, if you want that shoulder to be a thing, you almost need to make the wrap a part of his back slot, the shoulder has a very tiny budget (150 tris for lod1 250 tris for lod0) and the back has a quite larger one (500 tris for lod1, 1050 tris for lod0)
Yea I noticed, I was actually thinking of moving part of it to the head slot, so it's not quite so boring when you mix and match it with other sets, like so:
Even then, though, it might be pushing the poly limit...? Maybe a more experienced person than me would be more efficient with their polys.
NEW HEROES! *dances* This one is up for grabs too. The concept is pretty rough in places, but I think the idea should be clear enough. Maybe. Possibly.
Wow, I love that Mirana concept! What Sukotto said is definitely worth a consideration. in my opinion adding some gold color in the design of the Kirin will make it more interesting.
i like the ember spirit set. but i saw its misssing the red gem on his belt!
if u do not add one valve will dev-comment ur workshop and force u to do it
If anything I'd keep trying to get a bow with awesome shapes that fit the level of detail of the rest of the set. That should really tie everything together.
p.s. if you eventually decide not to use the leftmost hair, the one tied up, I'd gladly make it for mirana or another hero.
Sukotto+Ken> Thanks for the crit guys :> I decided to leave off gold scales so the mount will mesh better with other mirana sets, but you guys are right. I'll look into maybe tinting the edge of the scales, instead of the whole thing.
Konras> well ... That's the dream isn't it! X)
Shock> ARe you serious. Are you serious?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! daaaaamn. does it have to be on the belt? I put two gems on his gauntlets .... aw shucks. :<
Snowstorm> You know, halfway through designing the mirana set, i was there wishing i could just steal your mirana hair for her, hahaha. We're going with the left hair, though, so. X( Sorry...
... i hate passing up the opportunity to have the hair guru make a hair with me ... Want to make a headpiece for any other hero? ANY OTHER HERO? >_> I'LL BE YOUR CONCEPT MINION, PLZ

Aw man. Haha, that'd have been nice actually. I think the mirana hair will probably end up sitting on the workshop collecting dust since shapewise it's a little similar to a piece that's in already.
Hahaha, take your pick! If you come up with a concept you really like I'd be happy to collaborate. I'm not able to rush items any more either, so if you'd like to do the texture work (I'll provide bakes and all the necessary files to use as bases) that'd be alright too. Just drop me a pm!
Guys, it finally happened. I had a dream bout modeling and dota items. WHAT.
Thanks Agito, Artypi, Hudston, hunter, btw
Legion + beast (zip) + aba (vlad) are taken, and luna doesn't really fit cny, and prob needs some refining, but what the heck, post it anyway!
QoP (snowstorm) is taken. I got a suggestion to flip the hair on drow's shoulder mainly for her portrait.
Collaboration with Vayne
Quick dragon for chaos knight. It needs some revision (especially since I stole some elements for the aba mount up there), but I don't think I'll have time to finish that by the 15th. :<
Probably going to take another go at the masks, the front is bothering me. But I'm just elated we got this far at all. X)
I'll post more stuff as they progress further, but for now... I think that's enough to update with. :>

there is no spoiler tag for this forum :<
anyway i loled for the lina's fire wheel...i know you based on 哪吒... Nata,Nezha,Third Lotus Prince... well that kid (he was) was famous for he did for naughty things and get troubled before he turned good XD, well it is fresh idea
another thing is the LC's halberd, personally i think make the crescent part even size will be more better, OR remove it complete... because i don't see the purpose for the crescent glue on that completed form of that halberd , even chinese halberd design the crescent part is designed on the handle/ non sharp part... the one you designed is like blocked the blade ... *OCD* (sorry for my broken england :P)
It would be nice if the wheels got some particles from valve, just to make it firey. ^^ Glad someone recognized the reference!
I'm hardly concerned with realism, as far as weapons go. A large majority of weapons already in game are not calibrated for realistic use. I'm ok with the legion blade as it is; but I guess I'll let my modeler (sister ) decide. Thanks for the crit, Agito. :>

because i m a pure chinese :P
but not on the macho melee hitting weapons
(magic staff is exception XD )
suggestions ( i gonna leave it here anyway XD )
1) remove the crescent.
2) make the bridge/ connectors that connect crescent and blade thicker, because looks too tiny and fragile. (or use smooth curve line element inside the design , i mean the lotus petals "extend" out as the "bridge"
3) or make the blade more blunted on crescent side so the crescent blade part has more reasonable to exist :P
just a suggestion, sorry i used your picture and modify it without your permission, i can take it down if you don't want see it
PS: forget to add, i like the abaddon's mount's armor...the neck part
Slmey, i'll axe the idea then, I completely derped out on it anyway, Zip told me you guys were working on it, and i forgot. I guess the concept was just floating at the top of my head subconsciously because he mentioned it. :>
Finally it is finished. My first set ever (and Foxclover's first too!). Special thanks to Stefco for assisting in the final stages. Also special thanks to Motenai for his Marmoset walkthrough. Most of all, thanks for this awesome community who helped me reach this far!
This set looks really great! Really like a lot of different colors, like this gold parts. Pretty good fits to this hero! I'm 100% sure this set will be in the game! Good luck!
holy shit your concepts are amazing! And I love those step-by-step gifs of the loading screen, really looking good! (especially because I am a sucker for painted stuff).
Also I think that CK dragon wins the badass-award for Dota mounts.

Mihal, aiite. I look forward to seeing it! * V *
lol! A back view would be good yup, thanks!
Snowstorm, I'll get to that tonight. ^^
