Dota 2 - Keeper of the Light Concept Art

Description

Long before I even began playing Dota 2 on August 4th, 2011, I had ideas for how heroes could be adapted. An image struck me from the Owl City - Fireflies video, in which a snow globe with a wizard and crystals were featured. Even though it was a toy, the imagery was nothing short of beautiful for me. I drew this sketch and let it sit under dust for over a year.

Earlier this year, I brought the image to a scanner and put it on file. I used Photoshop to create a surreal cartoon image that could provide contrast to the photo-realistic style of Valve Corporation. I had it mailed and delivered to IceFrog, who in turn, gave it to the Dota 2 art team.

The incorporation of its elements may have been minor into the final design, but the key remainders both flatter me and make me proud to have contributed to such a fine game.
