This is my rough draft for an Enchantress item set. My keywords revolved around dreamcatcher and bellflowers. Something a lil more interesting aside from the nature theme.



I still need more details to give it a better finishing! If you have ideas, feel free to pitch in! Just to clarify that I'll pick the suggestions that are helping with the designs. Also if you're interested to model this, I'd be glad to! Please contact me if you want.

Vayne4800

It is a nice concept. Fits her well. Though I feel the spear needs some modification. Not sure what though.

cottonwings

It's been a while folks! I found a great modeler willing to collaborate with me. So? More progress.



Bracers are the easiest to work on among the sets. I enjoy it very much, try to control yourself from making it overly detailed.

cottonwings

On the other hand, I freshly made this new Masquerade inspired thief set for Templar Assassin! Drop me a reply if you're interested in grabbing this concept.

Snowstorm

oh wow that headpiece is pretty.

Agumon(Hurricanemin)

Sorry for a stupid question, but what program is it?

cottonwings

More updates on the Enchantress' set:






Bonus: A simple yet iconic updo hair for Death Prophet as a single item! Please let me know if you're interested in modelling this design.

vlad_the_implyer

That's really cute, i like your style! I'd love to do something, but not the spooky (Death Prophet) hair, i've made too much of those in the last month. Maybe you're willing to disconnect the TA headpiece as a single item?

cottonwings

It might be too thematic to be a single item, but feel free to! The headdress is all yours.

Goeddy

hey, would you be cool with me modeling the death prophet hair?

cottonwings

Certainly! Add me on steam if you want to discuss anything.

foxclover

Your art is fabulous. I think I'm a bigger fan of this for an enchantress set than the one you have up above though:



Meanwhile, can you just ... never stop drawing? I need to stare forever, please! * A *

vlad_the_implyer

One of the most complex pieces i did

Soldeus

I'd also say it's one of the best ones, amazing piece.

vlad_the_implyer

Here we go

Nannou

Good work and rated!

cottonwings

Like what Vlad mentioned, Eyes of the Masquerade, TA's head piece is on the Workshop now!



Even Death Prophet's too! Here I present, the Coiffure of Lament, a collab with Goeddy.



Please give them some love by rating it up!

DestroyerGR

Create some unique weapons(PA-Void-Axe-Centaur) and maybe some hooks,cuz your ideas rock!

cottonwings

Destroyer> Will do! I have a couple of concept sketches I need to work on first before going wild with weapon designs. Many thanks

And here comes my favorite (so far) concept of Lich. A Shiva and Shiva's Guard-inspired set!



Because I like asian mythology and multi-limbs is a cool subject to try on. Perhaps my eyes are getting confused with the colour scheme, or maybe it's just me. Anyhow this concept is reserved for Nannou as a collab, sorry!

P.S. Lich feeling fab with his "tiara" is the cutest thing ever (in my head).

Insaneophobia

Ooo! I would like to try to mode- oh, nevermind... Anyhow, nice concept! Really like those arms and stuff, only thing I'm not really sure will work out is the tiara, but other than that, AWESOME!

Kawaii Catgirl

That Lich looks amazing.

cottonwings

This concept art is the reason why I haven't been posting for so long (please bear with the shell at side view on the right). Now it's up to bounchfx to work on it! Can't wait to see it done.

hopgood

Big fan of how you break up your concepts to identify the individual elements. Great work on your designs. The cloth colour on Naga is a bold choice, anxious to see how it translates in game

pior

Perfectly fitting style, efficient and elegant. Thanks for posting !

sadies

loving all of your designs so far, can't wait to see more from you

Good on you! This is awesomely original, i really hope you finish it and it gets in :poly122:

cottonwings

Old news but Vlad and I created a full set for Templar Assassin: The Masquerade Set! Please give a thumbs up because I'll love you for that.



This week my inspirational juice is running low, my apologies. Nevertheless I tried my best to get the gear moving, so..... NEW WEAPONS up for grabs!



Like what it says, the Rubick staff is taken, the rest are free. The Huskar spear is inspired by Heaven's Halberd. Please tell me which weapon do you want by replying here, see if I'm okay with it. (The other two are still WIP but if you like it I'll finalize it as soon as I can)

bounchfx

big fan of the DK sword, I think I'm going to take a swing at that when I have a day or two

A1mb0t

If that void mace is still for grabs, count me interested!

cottonwings

Alright go ahead! (I'll contact you if I made more progress on the mace) One Huskar spear left.

cottonwings

This one is for the amazing Potplant, a CM set inspired by Mongolian high fashion (seriously, check out their designs, it'll blow your mind)

kendmd

Looks cool, but those fine patterns might come out as noise from the in-game view.

cottonwings

That's correct kendmd, I do agree the patterns are finely-detailed for it to work effectively during in-game view. I felt that retaining the major shape while reducing the fine lines will make it better. Also, the cape would work best if I remove the middle fur line, so here it is!



I can say that this look set as the final concept design so far. I'm looking forward to see this set done with the help of Potplant.

cottonwings

Just a heads up. My lich set has updated and free for grabs again!

cottonwings

Void's mace is gonna be done soon!

Shooo~

So damn cool concepts !

cottonwings

Cudgel of Faded Memories

NEW Mace for Faceless Void with A1mb0t

pior

Cool stuff all around Can't wait to see how the Lich set will turn out, I like how it is its own unique thing, while still perfectly working with the character. Well done

cottonwings

Thanks Pior! I love your Sniper set too, your style is so my cup of tea. (strong focus, details that aren't overly cluttered, everything is gorgeous)

I'm feeling the fruits from my weeks of effort as the incredible bounchfx and I released our new DK sword, Salamander's Fang!! I had so much fun creating this concept, so hope you guys love it too.

MagnoHusein

Aww cotton, I love your art. Make my eyes so happy!



♥_♥

You should do your concepts like this one above ♥♥♥

cottonwings

Thanks Magno! I can always draw my concepts the way I used to, but for the moment I'm just removing the rust from my painting skills (neglected it years ago)



NOBODY HAS EVER MADE A LION WARD YET??? (somebody please take the design and make it happen)

Insaneophobia

Aw that lion is hilariously cute...

I would animate the shit out of that ward.

Vayne4800

That ward! Such an amazing idea!

HntrLuc

Nice work all around cottonwings! If no one has snatched up that Lion ward yet I'd love model it up!

cottonwings

The D-- Lion Ward is taken now! :poly115: Sorry for the late comers (you guys can be real fast at checking updates)

NFWar

Lion ward is great and well drawn. Guess who will vote it up when it will come out in workshop?

cottonwings
