Awesome, but i'd still add something to the cape, some really clear logo or a localised pattern or weave. It looks a bit un-aotz to me.

Hes brilliant! Perhaps another tiara? Now all this skin needs is a decently balanced Hero to go with it =3

I completely agree.

Here's my 2 cents about the cape.

I think it would look very similar to the cape from Dota's Invoker not in the sense of the skin, but the style is similar. While the cape does look hawt, I think it can distinguish itself even further by adding a small touch like adding a small gout of red and white flame to the skin (not fire itself but the image of a small flame). However, I don't know what art direction you guys are exactly looking for.

I think giving 2 additional colourz to the cape would be too much.

His cape is already white with red and gold borders, I'm not sure what you're trying to say about more colors...I just want it to have more color from the same palette.

He does already. I really think the white contrasts beautifully with his armor colors as it is and he looks simple enough but still detailed enough. I'm a big fan of this texture, I'll be perfectly honest; it's one of my favorites.

well... we tried a logo-styled thing, but didn't turn out real well in-game. Any kind of logo would have to be super-simplified.

I could just try for more of a tonal contrast here, use the darker colours of his cape to make more wave-y and less solid white.

Why not just use a red polygon on the cape? Would make it seem less stark, wouldn't be a new color, and you seem to have little red so it wouldn't cause one of the colors to overpower the rest.

he does look awesome...

It doesnt have to be a logo per sé, just somekind of decoration, like a little greyed pattern along the edges, not really adding color or whatever, but adding some texture into the whole. If you compare this to the new kree for examplke... I think this one needs that subtile addition of "detail" to fit in just a little bit better.
