Sounds like you're talking about either custom particle effects or maybe self illumination which can be tweaked through the masks.

It's almost impossible to not make something like in the workshop. First you have to spend a lot of time trolling the workshop to make sure you don't 'duplicate' someone's work. (thousands of items and none can be close to someone else's?)
Second, there's no reason someone else couldn't make a Walrus anyway. Valve is gonna pick the best one. I don't condone 'stealing' (if you can even call it that) someone else's ideas.
Every TF2 item I ever made was an idea I had and wanted to do, not trying to duplicate someone else's ideas. But that's no guarantee that I haven't. And I have seen plenty of my ideas used (stolen or not) and even put in game.
Just the nature of the beast. It's a free market.
Those are concepts? Jeesh, they look like finished pieces.
We are making "hats" for characters, wards and couriers, but latley ive seen a lot of sets with alternate styles. These normally sell for more and are more appealing to the players.
Back when the greedoviles (sp?) were the couriers to have, I started to picture something. Im a big fan of the little big planet style, and i would love to bring something like that to the dota world, but i had no idea how. Then while walking in a mall in canada i saw these
http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/10779005/plush_animal_head_hats.jpg
Im sure youve seen them, they are cute and funny. So i started to hatch an idea. What if there was a courier, that could use these type of hats, and the hats were based on the heroes from dota?
a simple base mesh of a courier ( in this case this little dragon i just sketched to prove the concept) with a polycount of arround 1.5k tris. leaving 1.5 for the hat, more than enough to create something like :
Different styles would b eunlocked either by chest, or completing hero specific challenges, like, land 10 hooks in a round while the courier is active.
The hats would have a similar base, meaning they would all use the same bones to keep it as simple as possible, maybe a little charm just dangling from the dragons tail or the back of the hat for each hero? Again, im just shooting some ideas see what everyone thinks, it could be a lot of work modeling several hats for this guy, but then again, the simple style should cut that time considerably.
I could just go ahead and model a couple and see what ppl think, but i guess ill wait to hear some feedback!
first thing when i saw them it was something like ,wow 6 style terrorblade weapon,not bad ,and after when i read concepts i wal like wtf XD
if it's available i would go for nr.1
the concept and the realization is awesome overall
also, how goes your progress on that ward. it's looking good so far.
eh terrorblade technical requirement already out?
@MrTrojan Thanks! the ward is finished and imported, but honestly i didnt like how it looked in game, ill throw some screenshots later tho!
@agito666 nope, not yet, just made some concepts and ppl wanted to start on em
wait ,concept?! so this is a draw too? O_o i hope you're kidding
the concept is, half of him would be underground, so rocks will pop out when he moves half underground... ill make a quick animation, but i think i know how to handle it.
well i just curious how you gonna do flying form if that is courier :v
i know it is pretty same concept like the diglett figure hehe...
Like wyrm, then flying wyrm/wyverion thing. The animations could be cool for sure, but idk. I think its risky for a courier, could be really neat for a treant, or ward for sure.
You seem to be falling into a groove of "making art first, and retooling for characters/item types later". A little bit of pre-prod/design integrity would go a long way, I think, to push your concepts and pieces further, grounding them in lore/design integrity, and really solving questions that appear after, and letting us focus on the art itself.
Maybe ill try to smoothen the top of the ward a bit more, but well see while the set evolves.
if you dont get the staff into workshop, consider using the leaf as shoulder pad (or someone else will).
So I started doodling something in Zbrush last night, and being stupid i came up with what i thought was an original idea... then i checked the workshop... turns out its not original at all... so i think ill just save it for the future , what do you guys think???
heres the link to the workshop submission http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=190588759&searchtext=
Btw, like the jade bell version best
anyways, heres another concept for a clock/training dummy ward!! any input is greatly appreciated
