man the DotA 2 loading screens are truly beautiful

but what i find genuinely impressive is that while some of these are obviously hand-painted, a few others seem to be painted over renders of the actual game models.

like, if you zoom in you can still see some sharp edges potentially/leftover from polygons and vertices.

which makes sense, as it would enable artists to remain 100% accurate to the characters' proportions and design. trust me, that's a HUGE pet peeve of mine. my 2 followers or something already know how much i hate the inconsistency in Aatrox's illustrations, and more recently in Ekko's redesign.

seeing stuff like this just gives me that little bit of joy in my heart, because it's something no one should be ashamed of doing.

ESPECIALLY new and hobbyist artsts. go get that 3D model. pose it! edit it! investigate all the little triangles that make up your favourite character's face! paint over textures! paint over renders! use them as pose reference! there's no shame in studying another artist's work!!

All images were ripped directly from the DotA 2 game files. I do not own any of the artwork shown.

Anne is taller than her, if only by a few inches, and she’s chuckling as Marcy wobbles precariously. “Marcy is a pretty name,” she says, offering a blinding smile. “Well, Marcy, don’t you worry one bit; I’ll wrap that ankle up and then you definitely won’t press charges against me, right?”

“Don’t worry,” Marcy teases, “I don’t press charges against pretty girls.”

Anne just laughs, and with Marcy’s bag slung over her shoulder and her arm supporting Marcy’s weight, Marcy relaxes, most of her tension just melting away– she’s definitely had worse encounters with people she was supposed to have killed five minutes prior.

or: marcy wu has a highly unusual line of work: and anne boonchuy is her newest target. assassin au.

“Hells…can I just go back to thieving in Baldur’s Gate?”

[sparklecryptid]

thinkin sad thoughts. separate from the healin trauma from ages past, ardyns also watched ace get hurt over and over with no way to stop him or meaningfully help. how much he must have worried when ace almost died on the isles.

and then. then he can heal again. just a little, just enough. even if it's weaker, even if it brings bad memories, this is a way he can help someone he really cares about, who he doesn't want to lose. ;w;

I’m dying anon

That’s beautiful and good and somewhat were i was going with the idea

Although mine was much more ‘wouldn’t it be funny for an assassin to be sent after ace and for ace to get hurt because he tries to take care of it himself and for nyx and ardyn and everyone else who care for him to go no not now not after all that happened- and then Ardyn’s hands light up with healing magic and he swallows his disdain for the light and heals his nephew’

I’ve got Tsukiko brain worms, which means these concepts for two characters deeply connected to her have got ahold of me too.

Nyx, I gotta be honest came from me really just wanting to make a character heavily inspired by Amano’s works(mostly in the eyes which are some of my favorite parts of his designs). Like Tsukiko she primarily wields gravity based magic, but I’ll be going more in depth with her later.

Selene is Tsukiko’s voidsent, and a characters who’s design I’ve been fighting with for ages because I both wanted her to retain a primarily human element but also still be affected by the void corruption. An angel on Tsukiko’s shoulder who the latter used to rarely ever listen to, Selene is the reason Tsukiko can wield aspected magic as a conduit past Tsukiko’s own limits, and is the one who taught Tsukiko how to properly heal. Unlike many of the 13th she kept most of her memories of her life before, if at the cost of her being extremely weak without Tsukiko.
