Sketchbook - Ember Spirit Chibi

in Sketchbook3 years ago (edited)

From one of my all time favorite e-sport titles, Dota 2, here's my drawing of Xin The Ember Spirit. One of my best and most used heroes as a midlaner

Ember Spirit is a highly mobile and versatile hero commonly played in the middle lane. He can easily engage in battles, jump the backlines or even escape with ease. Primary attribute is agility and because of his versatility, he can also be played as a carry role.

Art Progression

so below are snips on the art progression of this art work. i'll also be sharing some tips and trivia about my favorite dota2 hero.

one of the greatest strengths of this hero is his mobility. however ember spirit especially in the early game will lack mana, as well as decent armor making him somewhat fragile. or highly ineffective when mana pool and skills are not managed well.

a little bit about his lore: Xin the Ember Spirit is a trainer of Bonds of the Guardians. It is a mantra designed to train the body and soul for challenges outside their fortress walls. He trained three generations of acolytes.

the thing which separates ember spirit from other heroes is his fire remnant. when a charge of remnant is released, he can then activate and travel towards that selected remnant almost instantaneously. this is his signature skill which gives him tremendous mobility and map presence

ember spirit is bad against heroes and team lineups that immobilizes and dishes out high burst damage. aside from stuns and roots, silence is also a huge problem for this hero

common item build for this hero is maelstrom which then later gets upgraded into mjolnir. this synergizes so well with his sleight of fists skill. another core item would be aghanims scepter which tremendously powers up fire remnant charges and speed.

Sort:  

The character design is good, but I find the hues sorrounding the character a little bit off. !discovery 15

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah i was already tired so i did less for the background aura. And background otself.

He seems like baby version of ember spirit.

Hehehe yup this is the chibi version.

So the chibi versions means that they would be like a cute looking thing?

Yup. They are like funko pops of sort if youre familiar with those toys. Usually in anime. Chibi has this exagerated big heads and small limbs.
