Dota 2 Item Concepts (DDK)

darkdeathknight

Hello Polycount I've always wanted to make item designs for Dota 2 so I recently made a Polycount Account .
Anyways here are the first designs.
What I was thinking is I would draw a bunch of designs, and pick a few that you guys like and redraw them properly, so sorry for the simple images.

First of all Sven

Kinda really simple. Uploaded mostly for the helmet design.

Chaos Knight

I used Spudnik's Hero Concept Sheets which I found to be very well made .
Wasn't sure about the colour schemes in this. CK's armor is just one colour right?

Rubick

This is an item set made for Rubick, Self-Explanatory.

Faceless Void

Faceless Void Set. The Tentacle arm might be hard to make because of the clipping so I'm not 100% sure about this. But I kinda wanted a similar style to the original. Disregard the Three-eyed Octopus and the kitty mace.

And that's it for now! I'm trying to find time to design some more but I'm busy with Schoolwork.
Also as a note I might design some items for heroes who aren't yet supported but I just want to for the fun of it.

Prolly draw up some Necrolyte stuff next

someguy216

How long did it take you to draw all those concepts?? there all good, but someone as already made a tentacle head for void however the tentacle arms are a really nice idea which hasnt been done.

darkdeathknight

Hmm, I'm not really sure how long they took, but I used any spare time last week, because it was holidays then .
Also that sucks that there's a tentacleface already. I guess I was too slow!

Yeah, I don't know what the problem is .
Does using dropbox not work normally?

Spudnik

While I can see them, I'd suggest uploading to something like imgur.com. Dropbox tends to have its issues with things like that.

darkdeathknight

Hey guys, a little update,
I've Updated a bit of the Rubick "set". nothing too big,

Started on some Necrolyte stuff. Most are just Doodles.


I've also drawn another Faceless Set. Right now it's way too busy and would probably go over the poly limit, so I'm thinking to redrawing it with those thoughts in mind.
Said FV Set

Thanks for the compliment!

darkdeathknight

Some More Stuff. I was going to draw more than this but I am busy with schoolwork and my arm suddenly hurts like hell. .

Anyways no new Hero, just updates on the Faceless and Necrolyte.

Faceless


Necro

Shameful Bump.

Well that's up to the potential collaborator.

I don't understand what you mean.

Sinskin

great stuff! however, arnt you concerned that someone may just copy one of your concepts and model it themselves, and potentially have it released, leaving you quite pissed off?

Primrose~

Oh man, if someone ever picks up that beautiful leshrac ward, I'd kill to texture it. I absolutely adore his palette.

It probably would but I don't think the guys here don't do that kind of stuff .

Yeah you can take it. Now to find a modeler...

Also guys if you want to make any of my concepts just tell me which concept you are taking on the thread, PM, Steam etc, and credit me when you publish.

What hero should I doodle on next?

Sukotto

Love these concepts! If I wasn't so busy I would totally love to work on one. And don't worry about anyone stealing your concepts, a lot of us will crack some heads for ya if something winds up in the shop without you knowing

That said, you should totally doodle up some Medusa or Disruptor

Yeah, it does happen about once every couple of months but it's always quickly resolved by shaming, reporting and all that.

darkdeathknight

Hey guys, just a quick update.

Ultimatec kindly agreed to work with me on my concepts and he made this.




I really love them, now its just for me to texture these!

Also a little wip of Medusa.

darkdeathknight

Ultimatec has finished the Item set he was working on and is now published!


Also some more WiPs.

I had this idea of making coral growths on Tide, but it feels like it's been already done. If I am ripping off someone please tell me so, I didn't mean it.
I have a few anchors there too though!



BH Ninja. Don't really like this so I won't be developing this any further.

I haven't been working on anything recently because I was busy with preparing for a game making comp. Unfortunately the game that was made didn't even work so .

Oroboros

Personally I'd say don't give up on the ninja BH...I think it's shaping up to be cool, just needs some refinement.

andrejas1

I've pretty much stopped making concepts nowadays, and I wanted to make some final few posts to post all the designs I redrew.

Before you go and see them, if you would like to make any of my concepts please add me on steam.

As for money problems, I don't really care how you split the money, whether 50:50 or 10:90, it's up to you! I just want to have some "Self-Made" items in my inventory .

If you add me on steam feel free to message me anytime to ask me anything about the concept, whether you need a back view or have suggestions on the color scheme (I really suck at color).

Finally, if the concept has a previous version drawn that is on this thread, you can click the image to go to that post.

Anyways here goes!

Faceless Void -
For FV's right side in the image, I couldn't draw it properly so you'll have to use your imagination/ the image on the right.


Necrolyte -
The weapon is experimental. Necrolyte doesn't actually use his scythe for anything, except for his ulti I believe. So I didn't make it a weapon.
Also the Back has a ragged cape not shown in this picture.


Pugna -
I would have posted a previous link of Pugna, but I accidently overwrote the image file, so you'll see the same picture .
Anyways this is the newest concept that I made I believe.
Cape is again experimental, original twin capes flow separate from each other, so this 'O' shaped cape might not work. But I don't know much about importing it and using it in-game, so it might be nothing.
Don't really like my wards, but I can't think of any good design currently.


Medusa -
Not much to say about this one. No bow design as of yet, and I personally like it for some reason.
Rag on shoulder it suppoed to be some kind of half-cape, so it continues on the back.
Quiver comment is only if the polygon count allows it.


Sven -
Sven's concept is already taken my Mdk, so I' just uploading for completion sake.

That's it for now. I might do some more tomorrow, so I'm gonna reserve the next post if you guys don't mind.

-Reserve Post-

rock

I love your concepts and your art style in general! Very rough and sketchy but with the totally right amount of detail and out of the box thinking!

Great Inspiration!

darkdeathknight

Small Update.

Sven sword for Chinese Themed Contest.
Also was drawing a Chinese Lantern for Warlock but that's way too unoriginal.

Also unfinished Drafts.

Magnus Spear draft.I know he's not in the workshop yet but I made it for fun.


LC Valkyrie style Set. Wings are inspired from Winged Hussars.

That's it for now
