Hey guys,
I've been writing my PhD thesis so I've had no time to paint or post, but this is what I'm currently working on:

[image loading]

The rough idea is Gordon Freeman as a DOTA2 character, since I love Valve's work and thought it'd be fun to try the style of concept art they have. Happy to hear TL has dedicated a forum to DOTA2 now, and looking forward to The International this weekend!

Maybe show his face and not have the visor. His glasses, beard, crowbar and suit are what define him imo

Haha, I've been toying with some ways to be subtle about it being Gordon Freeman, the helmet is to make him look more like a warrior, but there's no way to show the face that doesn't look quite similar to Dragon Knight or similar DOTA heroes. Might try both ways

His ulti should be called "Messed up the experiment" and start to spawn facegrabbers all over the map.

that is really impressive I wish I could draw things But I have a feeling this hero is way overpowered I mean hes going to solo mid and get lv 6 and once he does his ulti he is going to gank every hero and make them uninstall their game.

I like it
