I created a character item set for the Dota 2 Workshop titled Embers of Molten Iron, designed for the Ember Spirit. This was a collaboration between myself and Alex Coadou, creator of the concept art. You can view the full set on the Dota 2 Workshop here - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2082678340

Like my work on That Damn Goat and Knockout City, this project helps me maintain a strong connection to the game industry. It gave me the opportunity to explore new techniques, and bring those new techniques to my classroom.
