I love this game.. My friends were rank 3 in NorthAmerica in a DoTA team, sponored.. etc, but they quit.. They moved on and play HoN casually, and i love watching them own! They're like 1900 PSR right now

I absolutely love the guy that says all the names! My favorite is "VAALKKYRIEEE"

My favorite heroes are Pharoah, Deadwood, Zephyr, Pebbles and Fayde and FA

IF you guys enjoy DotA and never played this game, i recommend to give this game a try!

[Majora]

aweshooome stuff!

[Metal Fingers]

Goooood stuff guys! I was just looking at the hiring post and then realized I don't have any fantasy oriented stuff to make a portfolio out of. =(

[1n5ane]

Remarkable works! I have taken great pleasure looking through them!

[AlexTooth]

Really cool concept dump, I think it will be inspiring for a lot of new Artists!

[Dahami]

[smokenmirrors]

[rlederer]

Beautiful work all around! I like looking at your thumbnail process the most. -Ray

[Ivan Turcin]

a huge amount of fantastic work. bravo guys!

[Artfix]

Thanks for sharing guys! The game has definitely peaked my interest and so has Savage 2. I must admit I'm curious how the rights to some of these characters were granted from blizzard?

P.S. I'll look into sending my portfolio to you guys altho it doesn't seem the current 5 job postings are in my scope.

Good work!

[Clean3d]

I could spend hours just looking through these! Must've been a blast working on them.

[digismash]

Whooaaa.... Really stunning artworks!! Thx for posting it, people

Out of topic a bit... I never play this game, only watching the trailer and read about some about the heroes and gameplay. But I can't stop wondering, from my viewpoint this game really looks like DotA. From its map, gameplay, even heroes' skill and strategy, this game is like DotA 2 with upgraded graphic...
Not that it's bad, but I was in love with DotA for 3 years (until last year I decided to get serious in drawing and leave it) and something just feels strange when I see this game...

[los]

yea its heavily based on DotA, with many improvements.

Some really inventive designs in here! Good work! My fav is probably that turtle shaman type dude, hes got it going on! Nice shapes in the body there.

I have a couple of crits if you dont mind, they are quite low priority but I think can help show off your designs a bit more. The turtle dude I like, I think his staff gets a little lost with the background, so would probably accentuate the right edge of it with the background pale blue to make it pop out more. The first images flow seems a little jarring for me too (see below), I think the cape has something to do with it being as it come out at such a harsh angle like that, I would maybe add more of a smooth curvature to it? Hang on, ill just do a quick paintover to show what I mean. Changed the cape, position of the wing seemed a little too central to the composition to me, and the perspective of the horn looked a tiny bit off. Sorry for the roughness, my wacom is being weird so had to use a mouse. hehe

Anyway overall the pieces are great! good stuff!

[steven6]

Very cool stuff. . .love the illustrations.
Cheers

[Insanojoe]

Awesome game, I've played dota and hon and I think the artwork has helped take the game to the next level, well done amazing stuff =D

Hey man I just stopped by to say wow. This is some awesome art for a great game. I've spent countless hours playing the beta (and a handful playing retail). Great to see some of the artistic talent behind the game. Keep up the good work boys.
