Identity of a Legendary Iraninan DOTA2 Twitch Streamer

Huntah, a popular Dota 2 Twitch streamer, wanted to create a new theme for his channel elements based on his signature hero, Terrorblade, from the game Dota 2. The goal was to design and digitally paint various channel elements, such as overlays, alerts, and emotes, to enhance the overall aesthetic and branding of his stream.

Design Process

1. Research and Inspiration: Huntah provided references of Terrorblade’s in-game appearance and lore to serve as inspiration for the design.
2. Sketching and Conceptualization: Initial sketches were created to explore different ideas and compositions that would capture the essence of Terrorblade and fit the overall theme of the stream.
3. Digital Painting: The selected concepts were brought to life through digital painting techniques, using various software tools to create high-quality, visually appealing assets.
4. Refinement and Feedback: Throughout the process, Huntah provided feedback and suggestions, which were incorporated to ensure the final designs met his expectations and aligned with his brand.

Final Deliverables

The project resulted in the creation of several channel elements, including:

• Stream Overlay: A custom overlay design featuring Terrorblade’s demonic presence and a sleek, modern layout for the stream information.
• Alerts: Animated alerts for various events, such as follows, subscriptions, and donations, incorporating Terrorblade’s dark and ominous aesthetic.
• Emotes: A set of emotes depicting Terrorblade’s different expressions and poses, designed to be used by viewers during the stream.
• Panels: Informative panels for the stream’s information section, with a consistent theme and branding.

Impact and Results

The new Terrorblade-themed channel elements were well-received by Huntah’s audience, who appreciated the attention to detail and the cohesive branding. The visually striking designs helped to enhance the overall viewing experience and contributed to the growth and engagement of Huntah’s Twitch channel.
