Top 5 Workshop Items of the Week #27

posted by Monkey Queen,
In hopes of having the DotA2 community support not only sets created, but artists who spend time and effort making sets that most people seem to take for granted, here are some works of art (sets) by dedicated artists for the indelible Death Prophet, the stifling Earth Spirit, the ancient Elder Titan, the schizophrenic Timbersaw, and a treasure that contains unique items for heroes we love, a ward, and a courier. There is also a rather elegant Enchantress set.

1. Harbinger of Plague



Death Prophet set by Adequate and mmxart.

This might be my new favourite Death Prophet set, at least on the same level of love as the newest one released, which we had mentioned a few weeks ago, "Ghastly Matriarch". Though this set does not accentuate the booty which we all endeared in Ghastly Matriarch, this brings a darker, more haunting theme to Death Prophet. It adds to the gloom which I think is missing in most of her sets, I can't really point out anything I dislike about this one. The headdress, collar and "armour" are brilliant. I adore the new ghosts for her ultimate, they're so creepy and carry lanterns just like the one on her dress. And finally, the new floaty tatter things around her, in this case butterflies, which goes perfectly with the immortal animations.

2. EARTH'SPYRITE



Earth Spirit set by Mystic Snake, Péro, zeifod, Harfly and kaloyan.

A new Earth Spirit set, submitted for New Bloom 2015. I really like this set, and I think it provides what Earth Spirit is missing: some oomph. The embellishments on this set are really beautiful, and the artists have obviously poured a lot of energy and creativity into it. I love the extravagance, yet it somehow maintains a certain degree of subtlety. I also really like the loading screen as it brings the hero to life, with its own atmosphere illustrated with a rich pallet.

3. Ancient Forged Silverstone



Elder Titan set by Bisho Bola and Andumy.

A new set for Elder Titan, which comes with a ward! There are only two Elder Titan sets that have been released to the world of DotA2. This one supports Elder Titan's mood, as the artists give his persona justice with this set. I really like the horns, hammer and totem which really do Elder Titan justice, I kinda feel bad for him in general. The tone and theme of this set truly accommodates the hero, as the set is also executed with clarity and attention to detail.



Do not let this go, you could also check out its demo video here.




4. Lumberclaw



Timbersaw set by Vayne, Oroboros [Red Moon] and Drew Carrymore.

It seems as though more people are interested in creating sets for Timbersaw, a widely loved (and played) hero with very few sets released. I think the loading screen is pretty cool as Timbersaw is choking a Treant to death, setting the jungle on fire, with his crazy eyes glowing. The suit is really complimentary and fierce, with its spikes, and the claw. The chainsaw is pretty scary and the helm is pretty badass. All in all, this set screams doom in the hand of a madman.

5. Treasure of the Southern Sojourn



Treasure by Weta Workshop.

Personally, I think the treasure itself looks pretty cute and badass at the same time. As for the items, my favourites are the courier, wards, and the Queen of Pain snake. Everything else seems to be beautiful done as well, such as Mirana's bow, Pugna's Nether Lotus, etc. I'm really looking forward as to see if this makes it, since there are a few items I would love to use in-game.

A little something extra



Aries Grace Grab



Enchantress set by Melchiah.

This set seemed to be a little too sweet for DotA2, in my opinion. But it's so beautifully done, with amazing clarity and attention to detail, I'm sure some people would like their cutie Enchantress to be stunningly adorable.
