I think Magno sums it up quite nicely: The thing is that people should instantly recognize the theme or idea behind the set. The Pudge set mentioned earlier is a good example. People will know the lore right now but later on and ingame they will have to recognize it by nothing more than the style of the item and maybe the…
I feel like you really need to work on getting the volume and shapes of your items down before you jump into sculpting smaller details. The Slark dagger serves as a great example of this. While you have some nicely detailed Coral and moss growth there, look at the heft and form of the weapon. Would this function well in…
one good example of what i'm talking about: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02dzAf15dg"]DotaCinema's Pudge Set[/ame] They use a small and simple lore for the set, not just random pieces. "Why would pudge wear that stuff?" The lore explains, and the design fits him very well!

A quick and easy way to do that is by simply making them another subtool, then you can separate them from the handle much more easily. Same goes for the ice. For the ice (and wood), work with bigger…
A different subtool is just like a different object in Max. It just means that you can modify one of them without affecting the others. If you're more comfortable in Max, just make a separate objects in max (for example for the cloth wraps) and import them into zBrush. In zBrush, it will import as one object so what you do…
Hello there! I am not really a good modeller myself so I can't give you any advice method-wise but I think the concept was a little bit random. It's just my personal opinion but I like items that have a certain epic flair. Something that makes the hero appear more dangerous, elegant, brutal, fiendish or whatever other…
Alright, my set didn't really get so far - now I'd like to know what's wrong with it. What were my mistakes? I have a few specific questions, but it would be great to get some feedback at all. Just bring on the truth - I don't want you to be nice, I want to learn! Concept Bad hero pick? Does the set look too much like 6…
