Where is everybody? )))where are your opinions?

Baddcog

I saw someone else commented elsewhere so I didn't say it, but same feelings.

Too much red. No Horns. I think it deviates too much for Riki. It's too much 'Heavy Metal' the movie imo. I think you could keep the same elements to a degree but tie them into a palette that is closer to his original.

BladeofEvilsBane

Things are looking better since last I saw, but this still needs a lot of work. when you're concepting items do not work so zoomed in because more often than not, the details will be completely lost in game like the small blades you have on the tail and on the shoulder pads. Try to acclimate yourself to the style of the game and get away from detail and gritty realism. It should be more stylized and exaggerated. Think big shapes and large details. Also why the bird motif on the blades and nowhere else? It seems tacked on for no reason. Think of why you're putting a motif there and make it a theme throughout to give the set coherence (I'm not saying put bird heads on every item in the set).

What color combinations are suitable Riki?

Baddcog

Well his stock gear is bright blue/brown/gold.

Hero's are so small in game and stuff happens so fast you really need to be in that color palette for easy recognition.

I always just load up game/store/loadout and look at them, spin them around, etc... Good way to see them in good detail.

dev_md and nice big shapes also sells it on small stature heroes, keep in mind the sillouette of characters you're working on. Another tip: design armor that would fit the character type. e.g. Riki wouldn't use heavy armor since he is quick and agile but Chaos Knight would. So lighter armor would be most suitable for him. As the others pointed out, characters used in Dota 2, you won't see small details on characters since the engine destroys the end-quality of the texture sizes and it's simply a fast paced game to notice any detail. So big shapes with a few details and excellect attention to texture painting sells it!

thank you all! if you have something else, then write it !

dev_md

What abouth this one ?



I wait for your comments !
P.S. It is not yet finished work

Baddcog

I think the paint scheme is definitely more fitting.

Still not sold on the helmet yet.The color still a bit off I think. Part of it is the lack of horns. I think he needs something there. The spikes are very small and will barely be pixels in game.

I finished !
