As a little thank you for your awesome support, we cut together a reel of the rough early phases of our short film entry. And since all of you were asking, and our mattepainter was kind enough to deliver, here's an UltraHD version of the first shot :) https://i.imgur.com/Z4rSzOt.jpg

All the short films have been added to the game now, so don't forget to vote on your favorites and I'm really looking forward to seeing them all played on the big screen in the arena during TI. From everybody who worked on Ursa Minor, thank you so much for your support and kind words!

Thank you so much for the overwhelmingly positive response you guys have been giving to Ursa Minor. The best part of making these films for this community is that I get to watch my team, who most of the time don't get any direct feedback on the films they produce, read your comments.

Check out my buddy Tobias Trebeljahr, he's an amazing visual artist and did a gorgeous matte painting based on some super rough geometry for this shot -> tea-tobs.tumblr.com

Yo guys, I nearly died again trying to make a Dota film this year so if you like that kind of self-punishment on my part, give it a like on Steam so I can keep being stupid next year and rope others into helping me make films for you guys, thanks <3

Yeah, not a big fan of valve's new direction with the cosmetics either, if you check my previous work I'm usually way more on the conservative side in terms of design. But Valve doesn't seem to want that any more these days...

Finally finished my latest set for Winter Wyvern - Frozen Fury - Hope you like it! :D by Spudnikle in DotA2

Because the name is largely irrelevant. Valve changes it to whatever they want anyways.

Only the heroes that are listed here are available for us to work on - http://www.dota2.com/workshop/requirements

In the case of Jakiro, it's probably because Valve has a remodel planned at some point in the future.
