Arty's workshop wonderland
polycounter lvl 5
SO! it's been about a year since i started this hat thing. Time for a not-so-little recap to kick off my own thread!
I'm the 2D artist for everything featured (concept, diffuse textures, illustrations) unless otherwise stated
let's begin!
Father of the Forest - march 2014
This was my first set and first time working with Belkun! Originally for new bloom 2014, sadly we couldn't submit it for the event due to lack of time. The treants (animated beautifully by the wonderful Hayes) are probably my favourite part of the set even though they were a last minute addition.
Our hard work paid off in August when it was released in the Treasure of the Menders Palm. On my birthday, to be exact! what a good day.

Probably my favourite set to date, and first time collaborating with Zipf! Includes all sort of fun extras such as ability icons, full particles by Cory De La Torre and custom ultimate animations by Harry Boltz! (remember that guy?)
Belkun and I teamed up professionally to form Sunshield and celebrated our kickass union with some singles inspired by our namesake, Dark Souls. The gauntlet was an idea I was really fond of and really hoped would work, however the lod1 proved to be an issue in terms of the amount of detail it would have so we scrapped it (for the best). The wings also won first in the community contest for July.
Done in collaboration with Fnatic.Dota2 who sadly disbanded very shortly after the completion of the set )o:
It was nice doing something a bit different for Mirana and presenting her as a bit more battle-ready, as well as introducing the gold and orange to her colour scheme. Belkun did a stellar job on the mount, and even re-sculpted, retopo'd and baked an entirely new version in a weekend when we found out the original concept didn't work with sagan's animations.
It includes custom ability icons as well as full particles again done by Cory (who stuck faithfully to the design doc i gave him which just said "sparkles pls")
(i dont have an images for the diffuse so i nabbed Belkuns!! will replace later)
Back to our roots of sticking flowers on things, Sunshield worked with Dotapit Series 3 to make an original set for their upcoming tournament chest. We love flowers and pink. s'all good.
Last minute new bloom entry go!!! Zipf and i are reunited after many painful months apart for a quick single.
So that brings us up to date from march 2014 until like, yesterday.
Currently Bruno and I are working on a Medusa set that we've had to keep delaying in favour of other projects, but now various deadlines have been met it's time to sit down and get back into this project!! here's the concept
(edit: we finished it!)
