http://i.imgur.com/ATZUO.jpg


We're very excited to see what the Hellbourne's fearless leader will look like in this form and will get right to work on making him a reality. Please stay tuned for another edition of the Avatar Shuffle, along with an update for this awesome new avatar. Plus, we're getting closer to the release of the winner of Avatar Shuffle #1, Scorcher! We can't wait to get him into the game!



If you'd like to see the other avatars that were voted on in this poll, click the spoiler below to read the original post.


Welcome to Avatar Shuffle #2!

This contest gives the community a sneak peek at some of the awesome content that we're developing AND gives you a chance to influence when these new alt avatars come to the Goblin Shop!

Below, you will find four pieces of concept art for upcoming alt avatars! It is your job to vote for which one you want to see in the game. At the end of the contest, we'll tally up the votes and announce the winning concept art, which will then begin it's journey to become a part of HoN.

Once the winner is chosen, it is removed from the pool of concepts and a brand new one replaces it the next vote. This means that there's always a new piece of art to check out and vote for. Plus, if you're a huge fan of something that doesn't win, it still has a good chance of being voted in next time! This way, all of the pieces of concept art you see here will eventually be added into the game for everyone to enjoy.


Speaking of which, we'd also like to take this opportunity to give you all a little update on the winner of Avatar Shuffle #1-- Scorcher, who was voted to become an alt avatar for Pyromancer. He's been in production for some time now and is getting near completion! In order to make sure he's recognizable as a Pyromancer alt avatar, there has been some changes to his look. Nothing major though! He has a staff now and has a little bit of red inside his blue flames. Please look forward to seeing him in action soon!



With all that said, here are your choices for Avatar Shuffle #2!



http://i.imgur.com/pgYfN.jpg


The first choice you have is one of the original pieces of artwork for Tempest. He's a lot more humanoid than the regular hero and has some really interesting touches that we feel would look great in game! If he is voted as the winner of this contest, this would become a new Tempest alt avatar.





http://i.imgur.com/ATZUO.jpg



Then we have a piece of art that harkens to times long past in Newerth. Before the current war began, our beloved Maliken looked a bit different and this concept illustrates that he wasn't always AS bad as he is now. If this is voted as the winner, it would become a new Maliken alt avatar!





http://i.imgur.com/ckwr8.jpg


The new piece to this edition of the Shuffle is this prickly looking fellow who reminds us of Parasite. We really liked his dark look and think that he would look fantastic in-game. Do you agree? If he's voted to be the winner, it will become a new Parasite alt avatar





http://i.imgur.com/FlXEI.jpg


And finally we have the Archmage. This is another piece of art that has been around for some time but we don't have a specific hero in mind for it! If this is voted to be the winner, we will determine what hero it is used for in a special way.



Which will you choose? Voting ends at 16:00 EDT on Monday, August 13th so get in your choice and support your favorites! Hopefully, you'll get to see them in game soon.

[KingKnight]

Maliken ALT!!!! :D

[Demacish]

Hag would be a good hero for the last one

[Lunda]

Parasite avatar is so cool!

[Cynicus]

is archmage hellbringer?

[Elceles]

Maliken ! 8D

[DrCruz]

I like all of them but tempests :/

[Ereniel]

Maliken!!! :mali:

[purity095]

Maliken one looks awesome

[Vaskaduzea]

archmage could be either Ravenor or Pharaoh

[SweetZoid]

Maliken because he's a ****ing beast and he deserves an alt Avatar when he helped me win 1vs4 in a game in Closed Beta.

[Snackzz]

Maliken because he's a ****ing beast and he deserves an alt Avatar when he helped me win 1vs4 in a game in Closed Beta.

Good idea, let's make an alt avatar for every time someone tells a shitty story.

[Ellery]

Archmage: who the ef is this guy?

[HerrSnaken]

Para and mali are awesome, but Para deserve a decent Alt avatar (the only one is horrible)

[Nospheratu]

Voted for Maliken this time, after an ethereal scorcher we need a very real warrior imho :) But Parasite also looks awesome^^

[Trexium]

Archmage!

[lortaku]

Handlelbar Mustache!

[kipper_dk]

Parasite avatar is so cool!

Parasite

[Mesqueunclub]

Well i voted for :mali: Maliken..

But rly S2. We need a :alun: Aluna avatar!!! She has been out in ages, but there is still no avatar for her? Instead you keep making avatars for Flint, Valk etc. which alrdy have 4-5 avatars.. It doesnt make sense.. Since Aluna is played alot by the players, plzz fix a new avatar for her ! :rolleyes:

[Peruzzy]

Vote maliken because reasons.

[BL4STARD]

The parasite avatar looks great! :D

[ONYX]

parasite FTWWWW

[S3PH]

Archmage for geomancer D:

[Flandre]

Am I the only one who thinks this tempest art is basically the same as the one in-game?
I hope it will be parasite or maliken, as that archmage skin is freaking horrible.

[ZchmeKko]

Malliken!

[PuLk4]

I want maliken!! :D

[dmal]

vote goes to para

[XtremeFlash]

Maliken! for sho!

[Tommysmamma]

Archmage alt avatar for Hag. Would be increadibly cool with some new effects (A totally new version of haunt ("Astral Binding" as an example name / idea)

Would be awesome with some Astral / Ethereal (shadowy) effects to keep the dark style from his skin in tune with his abilities. Blink might leave a shadowy trace for example, and his scream would be pretty cool.

[XtremeFlash]

Also, Archmage could be Pharoh. He deserves a better skin than Cleopatra.

[MassDivide]

Maliken, but a aluna archmage would be great! :)

[Deluxe88]

Also, Archmage could be Pharoh. He deserves a better skin than Cleopatra.

Golden Emperor...

[Xzashia]

I think the archmage looks lika Pharaoh somehow lol.. because of his feet :P

[Emer1ca]

Make a Legionnaire Alt pls PLs.

[Gabrick]

Tempest or Parasite, please!

[MacroHard]

Handlelbar Mustache!

Pretty much this. I cannot think of a more valid reason to vote.

[FirstKitAid]

Archmage all the way

[TheEnigma]

Parasite!

[Manoa]

MALKIN

[h4n2o]

:mali: simple

[Muteny]

MALIKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS I'm banking on the next classic spotlight to be lego

Viole said an executioner lego carries an axe I'm just guessing

[Jenova26]

Voting for Tempest since I can see that one looking better in game. I have my suspicions that Maliken's avatar, though the picture is cooler, would look large an bulky in game.

I would vote for the fourth one if I could vote with some certainty that it would go to Tundra, but since I can't, I'm sticking with Tempest.

[S3PH]

Tempest option looks the same as the current avatar. Would be a waste

[Quillenator]

Although I voted for parasite and he is my favorite hero in the game, at first glance, I immediately thought the avatar was for KotF. Still hopes it wins, I will insta buy.

[Purre]

Archmage looks cool, it could be the new Aluna avatar, instead of "power throw" it could be called like "power magic" or something like that, would look really cool

[Budfox]

Vote Maliken

[_XJuan2448X_]

Maliken's current alt is not that good (Horseman Conquest) so VOTE FOR MALIKEN.

[BubblleBee]

Archmage for prophet! Btw, what happend to the Avatar Shuffle #1? When is that awesome Pyromancer avatar coming?

[ZoaDreamCat]

Parasite! :d

[Maximus`o_O]

Para's alt looks awesome but Maliken needs a good alt (the one he has now is just crap) so Maliken we go!! :D
Sorry para , next time maybe >:D

[Muteny]

Mali-king!!!!

[Sokter]

Maliken ftw maliken ftw

[Jelm95]

Parasite!

[`Invidious]

Maliken all day :mali:

[MoonUnit]

archmage for Pyromancer would be sick as fuuuuuuuuuu

[xewii]

Maliken... Again. plz vote for him :)

[Zeyzer]

Not sure about this but if its possible the Archmage Alt could be changed a little bit to make it suitable for Aluna... maybe extend the staff to make it look like Aluna's.

[Exel666]

Parasite !

[SoulBroker]

Maliken ftw

[Sp1KeY]

And My vote Goes to MALIKEN! Of course this dude is a beast

[matiszenko]

My vote Maliken--->awesome :D

[_Leeroy_]

That maliken alt looks so sick. Will need to have good voice acting though if it gets put through.

[Crip70nay3]

Archmage!

[Raina_]

Maliken. Maliken doesn't have an an avatar besides that one where you need all horsemen...

[Shokolate]

Vote for tempest!
But also, this man makes a point! ALUNA ALT AVATAR PLEASE!


But rly S2. We need a :alun: Aluna avatar!!! She has been out in ages, but there is still no avatar for her? Instead you keep making avatars for Flint, Valk etc. which alrdy have 4-5 avatars.. It doesnt make sense.. Since Aluna is played alot by the players, plzz fix a new avatar for her ! :rolleyes:

[GameGuru]

new Parasite alt avatar is very very cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Solenka]

Parasite :>

[Caracole]

Eh... I actually like Tempest.

[BattleBOOM]

Parasite ofc!! =)

[Alaitoc]

I guess Maliken deserves a proper one!

[xUrinalx]

Maliken! by far the best. (Archmage would still be cool for TB or something)

[propaganda07]

Maliken is the best

[Gramrock]

Maliken got this :>

[JooThi]

Parasite!

[Acid`]

Maliken is the best one!

[rerbef]

Voted for Archmage, would be an awesome Aluna alt!

[B1GBADWOLF]

Parasite

[Star_Walking]

I want this Maliken

[Nakenrotte]

i want a pebbles avatar ! didnt get chance to buy the jade pebbles :pebb:

[davido46]

Maliken ofc

[qwerto]

Archmage would be a good avatar for gravekeeper

[Kampec]

Voted for Maliken, easily the best out of those.

[McStealer]

why not make a collection of all them like the horesemen collection ?

[kingduckling]

ah this reminds me....where is garbadore s2?

[Adilmaru]

I voted for Maliken ! Tempest is not bad, and the others are just ...

[DotaNow]

Archmage = Monkey King!

[Alistair66]

Maliken all the way.

[Haruhi_sos]

Maliken ofc but who exactly is Archmage?

[MeGaDooM1o1]

give us that maliken.. and.. will the avatar change for his ulti too?! cuz it should... :)

[Afterlisk]

the tempest alt avatar is so cool!
that would make me play tempest again :D

[TheHolyFonz]

That Parasite concept is incredible.

[Monniz]

I vote Tempest!! If the ulti changes to like a more vortex style or the old black hole/purple hole, it would look amazing!

[my_man_TC]

Archmage as a Glacius alt ofcourse! Looking back at Archmage from Wc3, this would be awesome.

[JediCarmona]

archmage as wretched hag alt avatar!

[Gizzzz]

Still no Aluna?????? She doesn't even have one. Swift and Valk have way to many for aluna not to have one IMO. Shdowblade has so many awesome possibilities as well. Thats my input.

[kxdx]

Maliken, his horseman ALT makes his head look too big.

[kraang]

ive heard they cant because shes based off of some real actress (i forget who) and her image is copy written. They legally aren't allowed to.... lame.

[Cesinhaa]

MAliken

[ThoRarC]

Maliken for sure :mali:

[pollotron]

I really like maliken, but Para lools way too much loke swamp thing to vote otherwise

[NinJaDuCk]

parasite is the clearly the best :O

[NinJaDuCk]

or tempest cant decide XD

[GGC_Reaper]

number 2 maliken

[lmdeafsowhat]

Archiemagie!

[MiladRa]

:mali:

[Feforever]

My vote goes to Tempest, but I really want an Aluna alt avatar. What the heck is wrong with you S2 guys??? Like 2 years for an Ophelia alt avatar, and none for Aluna.

I'm really frustrated right now, cuz those are heroes I really enjoy playing with.

[Youcif]

Well i voted for :mali: Maliken..

But rly S2. We need a :alun: Aluna avatar!!! She has been out in ages, but there is still no avatar for her? Instead you keep making avatars for Flint, Valk etc. which alrdy have 4-5 avatars.. It doesnt make sense.. Since Aluna is played alot by the players, plzz fix a new avatar for her ! :rolleyes:

EXACTLY!!!

S2! Please hear us! so as MQ! her avatars are so bad, compared to the original dota hero. seriously, you should make a great one for her as well!!

There are so many other heroes who have been out for quite some time and have only one alt (ugly), or no alt at all! We'd really appreciate it if you'd prioritize those over the heroes of have more than one alt (or have a cool enough alt).

Thanks!

[BiggRed]

I....Am....Archmage Aluna!!!!!!!!!

[SlicerDigZ]

Voted for tempest, no one plays Maliken, Parasite already has a good alt avatar and the last one could only fit either soul reaper or ellonia, which people hardly play

[SirJefferE]

Curiosity trumps coolness. Voted Archmage.

[BattleHungeR]

Maliken Plz! :D

[Sinloth]

Maliken all the way. First, the picture is awesome, second, come on, he's the king of the Hellbourne and he has yet to receive a normal alt avatar. I mean, the horseman looks great, but I'm a bit turned off by the necessity of getting two avatars for heroes I don't like/play. Gimme Maliken plx, gg thx.

[Sinloth]

Voted for tempest, no one plays Maliken, Parasite already has a good alt avatar and the last one could only fit either soul reaper or ellonia, which people hardly play

Meh, nobody plays Maliken? I wonder where you've come up with that bull*hit. Para's alt is ugly as hell, but that's just a matter of opinion I guess, and Ellonia is an awesome Int, one of my heroes to score Immortal with, she'd deserve a great alt avatar. Besides, Tempest has an alt avatar that looks quite good imo, not completely unlike this one.

[`LaBomba`]

Maliken. He need a really alt avatar.

[Mipi]

This Parasite looks cool :)

[Mifune`]

Maliken so badass

[GaRgAs84]

para deserve a better avatar... not that "dog"...

[samst]

Dat Maliken alt. Givf yesteryear please!

[Kurtok]

:mali:<---- We want Him. :D

[Massacar]

Voted for Maliken, just like the last time you guys did this thing. Scorcher, for the record, looked like a Magebane Alt avatar; so i don't understand why you're doing a Pyromancer.

[ShowerMan]

Well i voted for :mali: Maliken..

But rly S2. We need a :alun: Aluna avatar!!! She has been out in ages, but there is still no avatar for her? Instead you keep making avatars for Flint, Valk etc. which alrdy have 4-5 avatars.. It doesnt make sense.. Since Aluna is played alot by the players, plzz fix a new avatar for her ! :rolleyes:

Sad story is, they can't make an Aluna avatar, and it wouldn't make any sense making it either.
There's some copyright on her, from the real creator of Aluna ( Ever seen the making of Aluna?? Anyone? )
Aluna looks like this in the comics, Aluna is based on the look of a real living flesh n' blood person, and S2 accepted the copyrights for it, and it just wouldn't make any sense making a new one either, as she is raised n' **** in the jungle so.. Aluna is fine, the way she is..
Archmage for Empath!

[Slejhy]

Para looks great

Vote Maliken

[Lupedro]

Hail to the king ---------> :mali:

[nubScotty]

Archmage for :empa: as :empa2: was just an outfit change

[CipherGalm1]

Maliken for sure

[SanDancE]

oh look alt avatar for aluna.. SO GREAT..
vote archmage!! to be aluna's first avatar!

[virusq]

i think there should make Archmage and try to make him an alt avatar to a hero that dont have any alt avatar yet instead of making 3 - 5 alt avatars for some heroes think we got enof valk skins now :P just saying hehe :)

P.S sorry for my gramma but english is not my nativ languish hehe

[Zerotrigun]

MALIKEN!!!!!!!

[Ace_56]

Um, i voted maliken looks great but... where's my scorcher pyro?

[Naitsabes]

Yes for Maliken

[Imloz]

Maliken ;)

[hAhAmebadKD]

How about a Aluna alt avatar, REALLY!

[aNgerpaw]

Parasite.
Seen his current avatar? LMAO.

[aNgerpaw]

Sad story is, they can't make an Aluna avatar, and it wouldn't make any sense making it either.

Archmage for Empath!

[blindfire078]

[VOiS]

maliken plox

[Katieeee]

I like the Maliken one, but Archmage would be a cool Master of Arms skin. Call it Caster of Harms instead? x)

[Bassrockerx]

archmage has to be glacius

[Windows1997]

Voting for Maliken! ;)

[Reaper4666]

Parasite looks awesome, but voted Maliken because he needs another :p

[gugi10]

Vote parasite! Maliken have too much alts.

[warlord435]

WOW, Maliken alt is nice but jeez what an awesome alt for Parasite too...... can we be greedy and get both? If I gotta choose put me down for the Parasite alt.

[Tasura]

I love the art for Maliken that Black Knight style looks awesome BUT i dont want another avatar for maliken! Voted for Archmage (looks like ravenor(style,staff etc)) hopefully u can make a cool berz/flux/hammer alt out of him ;) (para avatar looks like keeper+para but still is nice)

[iHaukka]

i love alt for parasite i choose him !

[Kaljumies]

Maliken ofcourse, the horseman was allready so ugly, so he needs another avatar, and this is what he diserves!
Waiting allready for his ultimate form.

[Kalznard]

I like Parasite.
ktnxbai

[OwEmGee]

Tempest looks so epic!! :D I hope those effects are there. Tempest deserves a good alt, the one what came out today was so bad. I was so happy a tempest alt was coming. Eventualy it almosts looks the same as the normal tempest ><

[Mini_Panda]

And finally we have the Archmage. This is another piece of art that has been around for some time but we don't have a specific hero in mind for it! If this is voted to be the winner, we will determine what hero it is used for in a special way.



Which will you choose? Voting ends at 16:00 EDT on Monday, August 13th so get in your choice and support your favorites! Hopefully, you'll get to see them in game soon.

Maliken because I like his old fashioned look. His equipment isn't so streamlined.

What would it take to convince Marc to provide the voice for the new alt?

I second this man's notion.

This is the ONLY acceptable course of action, we must do whatever it takes.

They don't work on only one avatar at the time. While they work on scorcher they can see what the community want next in the form of this shuffe. Besides this was meant to be once a month but it was 2 months in between the shuffle starts.
Stop complaining about everything they do. They are damned if they don't and damned if they do.

After the Scorcher Pyro, we know that much. I'll be really surprised if the Maliken alt is released in less than a month from now.
