Hi everyone, Started playing Dota and consequently started making things. This is my first item, done for the unofficial monthly contest.

So back to this, just in time to attempt something for the new years event. Totem for Earthshaker. The weighting is way off for now but i just wanted to get something rough blocked and concepted out

Bit of an update. Got the LoD0 done with an initial bake, no fixing yet.



Plus Sculpt

Update:

I like the idea but it reads slightly blobby in game, hard to tell that they are supposed to be horse heads from in-game distance.

I don't really agree, I think it's not quite hard to recognize those are horse heads, but they look a bit odd right now. Not bad, but odd.

You could maybe rotate the totem 90° so you see both horse heads from the side. Right now and from this angle it looks a bit like he's piggybacking a pony lying on its back, as you are always only seeing one head clearly. Or like he's carrying a rodeo horse whose head someone mounted the wrong way.

Thanks for the feedback, i really appreciate it and it makes sense. The only issue is i'm now running into a problem when i try to compile everything again, it's suddenly not showing up any of the textures. Theres no errors or anything, i don't suppose anyone would know anything about why? (Probably something dumb)

Hey Ro-Zee!!! It looks like this happening to some people across the world (literally) It was posted about in the main thread. I think valve dun messed with some dota settings, and everyone is either crashing or getting grey mats on items.

Ahhhh, to be honest thank god, i thought i'd screwed something up haha Thanks

As far as a quick crit. I'm having a hard time discerning what some materials on the idol are supposed to be made out of. I think the red bits could use another pass on the spec mask to differentiate just a tad. Not like alot but enough that it draws some additional interest. Same goes for the red bit on the horns holder.

Overall I think is coming together nicely, and with some elbow grease it'll be a damn skippy!

Cheers heboltz3, thanks for the critique as well

While the Workshop is a bit buggy i'm going to concept a bit, here are some silhouettes for Chen's weapon.
