Oh my isn't that gorgeous! I prefer the left one because clarity is a big plus. I love how you keep the design consistent by reusing parts like the frog's eye. Go for it, looking forward to see its completion.
God damn your artstyle is nice, but I think a thing that could help make the ward a bit cooler is maybe a skull painted in facepaint on the frog or something? or making some of those tattoos on him thicker, I don't think they'll read that well in game right now.
Hm... seems like he has a bit too many colors compared to witch doctor.
Take a look at this from the texture guide on the dota2workshop website
This is what the colors mostly should consist of. and how much of the different colours that should be. You can of course add some extra colors for details to make them pop more, but I'd say you should really rethink the colors, because they kind of stopped me from seeing him as Witch Doctor, but more as another person.

I'm confused by the linking of that breakdown, the default witch doctor is extremely bare (No shoulder item?), how does that breakdown compare to this http://www.dota2.com/store/itemdetails/20037
All the colors in the concept are derived from that image apart from the popping green? Apart from being slightly oversaturated, the colors are from the linked image? Gem on bag looks out of place as a light blue, should be green!
The colors just seem a bit off to me instead of WD being purple he's this dark blue and the colors just doesn't seem to hit the exact hue for me, like they're a bit off, but yeah, if they get desaturated it would personally help a lot for me anyways. Just trying to help

All good, was just curious, I guess it goes without saying all items will be valued to match the WD in game - probably best to see it as a detail / color distribution breakdown, as it's a completely fresh image and not a hero paintover
Ah, ok, well fair enough, well in that case, I think you should perhaps change the yellow on the belt to a darker red or a darker brown, it's ok to add one new color to the hero but with yellow too it gets a bit too much. it sort of draws too much attention if you know what I mean.
@cottonwings Thank you so much n.n @bernoully I kept the nose piece as you guys suggested @Insaneophobia I added your suggestion in my color test!
Thanks so much for the feedback guys!
Here's my color test:
Colors are pretty much my weak spot, thanks @plant for guiding me with the colors!
Isn't this theme more akin to Shadow Shaman? The Aztec/Mayan style of this concept leans more towards Rhasta than fetish orriented Witch Doctor (Voodoo religion is closely tied to using wierd or morbid objects in order to tap into their magical properties; the way concept is currently presented makes WD look too timid and benevolent, exactly the opposite of how he should look like). For example, with Rhasta's evil grin the mask would look much more intimidating than with Zharvakko's indifferent facial expresion (and almost toothless mouth). I would advise applying this concept to Shadow Shaman instead of WD, and going with something more "African" when approaching WD in the future.

I really liked your feedback. Until the moment I was not taking in consideration the fact that this set could fit very well Shadow Shaman. However the original idea was made to fit Witch Doctor, because it actually breaks the stereotype of his concept, there are so many good african masks already, and I wanted to do something different from the usual

I'm not sure if you are talking serious.

New concept.
Ogre Magi stuff, going to try the second concept a bit later.
Nice concept, maybe detail the grp a bit so it's more clear what u want with that.
Anyone allready making that item, I might be interested in a while, currently working on a few other thing but if noone takes it I would love to model it.
damn, actually in my mind i keep reading magno as mango. :P
i just notice it spell as "mag-no"
Lol its Mango and Magno! IRL / nick!
It could definetely be a sweet courier and have mentioned it as a possibility to reuse! You have your panda bear + courier, so could see something similar with this.

Sure, you are the first! So let's do it.

Yo man, sure! add me on steam so we can talk better.

Stuff for Spectre and Skeleton king.
I will try to do at least 2 singles per day from now! So keep tuned in if you want to do some collab!

"Burning Lotus", silly name, but I like to try ^^
Sketch for a courier, chinese lion guardian stuff
Missile for gyro, i'm trying to figure out if the idea fits better in the back slot.
I will post more progress soon ^^ (these two are up for collab!)

looks like it will be a courier XD
damn, actually in my mind i keep reading magno as mango. :P

But for now its a deathward to go with our set!
Damn dude, it Nick/IRL! lol!
Yo d00dz, did a quickie between one bunch of stuff I need to do, before I miss the idea, I will leave it here:
I'm not much the ward guy, but did something for broodmother! up for grabz
As you asked, here is the model in game of the frog:
And a sneak peek of the final illustration:
BOOMBOCLAT!
Really an original idea and I doubt there is anything more humiliating than getting your team wiped by a jamming frog.
