   I've been wanting to respond to this post ALL day. Postmortems jazz me up, and this is 100% effective way to make your next piece kick ass. First and formoste, I want to prefice this with "no one knows the workshop formula." I've talked to alot of people aboutthis, and there is a huge thread about what drives the workshop,…

   Thanks, cagdasx! As this is my first real piece in the workshop, can anyone tell me how my set is doing? I guess it's pretty bad with only 1 of 6 visitors giving it a rating. =/ But this is just my first set, there's more to come! =)

   One thing I noticed when I looked at your promotional pics is that the backgrounds in those are so intense and busy that it detracts interest from your items which have mostly flat colors. I think this set could do a lot better on the workshop with promo pics that promote its strengths.

   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 (full set ingame pic) Bad hero pick? Does the set…

   @darkkyo, Mago, kite and Automedic First off, thank you for your feedback! I am very glad I have this forum to talk to people about my work! Concept It seems to me that here is where the biggest issue comes from. I had an idea for a set of items that Tusk enhanced his armor and weapons with his ability to cast ice (see the…

   I agree as well! But there are single burshes/matcaps that are ridiculously handy. I don't want to know how bad my sculpts would look if I hadn't gotten my hands on orbs scratches. It just takes the work of a ton of strokes with different brushes and makes it work with almost a single stroke. I just find it much easier to…
