IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Don't know, but this is his deviantart http://kunkka.deviantart.com/

And the Admiral is still known as Kunkka (named after the artist) in Dota 2.

Oh, so kunkka the artist came before the admiral?


I'm looking for absolute confirmation on this, but yes, as far as I remember he did the loading screens for a long time, and ICe Frog named a hero after him.

EDIT: "Personally for me the highlight was to be able to work on the artworks for the wildly popular pc game, DotA and Dota2 (playdota.com and dota2.com). As a community contributor to the game, my nickname “kunkka” was immortalized by having a character named after it. It was the dopest feeling in the world."

Interview with Kunkka
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

Kunkka the hero was named after the artist, it was after he did a few loading screens already

Oh, that's really cool. I know IF named some alternate names after famous community / players - didn't know he actually did a hero with this.

Which patch was this?

Its the one I remember seeing the most. I loved being able to identify all the different heros in the picture as I just started playing properly.

And still it would be cool to have those appear in the game rather than just the dota 2 logo.

Found the actual loadscreen with text ^_^

6.70 which, iirc, got up to like 6.70f. A lot of small patches.

Seeing those old loading screens makes me feel so nostalgic. I've been playing dota since elementary and all throughout high school and I'm still not tired of that game. The music, the responses, the loading screen. Everything was perfect.
I'm just going to fire up wc3 now.

The first one I remember clearly is the 6.34 one, but the 6.20 looks familiar, too. It's been a while since then
here are a few

Well, maybe when Valve is done making heroes and whatnot, they can have one of their concept artist guys work on a picture like this for the loading screen...

Its not like they are using them for HL3 or anything.

As long as they're in the old kunkka style, that would be awesome.
