Dota 2 - Character Art Guide

Valve Software – DOTA 2 Character Art Guide Valve Software’s famous Dota 2 has some terrific art style and tech guides online. This is the Character Art Guide. This is a fabulous guide that breaks down character design into stages of consideration like the silhouette, value gradient, value patterning, and color schemes. The real beauty of this guide, in my opinion, starts on page 11 with the Application of Concepts on each of the example characters showing a markedly improved before-and-after, explaining what was done and why it works better. Frankly, anyone making characters — or game art at all, for that matter — would benefit GREATLY by reading through this and understanding its concepts. This is one of the best guides I’ve seen.
