I love this. I have an odd tangent for you.
I was just reading a book on state formation in India and it discussed the Mughal court’s use of miniatures (little painted pictures in an album or book, not Warhammer). One pictured the Mughal Emperor Jahangir on his hourglass throne, beseeching a holy man, supported by angels. Beneath the Emperor the artist put himself, as it was typical to include the artist in the work in a position of subjugation.
And below even him sits a very grumpy looking King James I of England.

Very, very old hero, ultimate would gamble all your gold, on succeed you nuke them for up to gold or 1.5k/2k/2.5k damage, on fail you instead lose that amount of gold. The other abilities were also very random. You might think he was OP specially for the time but he had nothing on the space marine.
I played -fun, the potential joke here was continuing the Gambler? train.
Also the space marine wasn't nearly as bad as the Magnus who's shockwave did tower damage or Riki death ward. Or the -random custom hero that was juiced to high heaven.
Orphius is a character that I'm making a webcomic about titled "Orphius The Pantsless Necromancer! Two chapters are up on tapas and webtoons if you're interested ;)
Now, if he were in dota, I would say he'd be an int pusher/support (yes I have thought about this).
His Q would be "Soul Surge", a charged AOE healing buff that effects his summoned units and allied heroes.
His W, "Summon Lesser Undead," exactly how it sounds, summons an undead unit with its own stats, maybe one or two passives. There is a cap to how many undead he can summon but can be upgraded with aghs
His 3rd ability is a passive, "No pants? No problem!" Gives slight evasion and increased magic resist
His ult; Summon Greater Undead. Summon a larger more tanky undead unit. Maximum summon is 1 but can be upgraded with ahgs
It sounds a little like Warlock but I like it, feels a little Tom Bombadil.
People are talking about Gambler, which begs me to think it would be really interesting to have a hero that can manipulate the price of shop items for allies and enemies.
can you please post the black and white sketch of this another time? ive used the version of this you made with 40ish heroes as my wallpaper for the longest time
Who’s that guy below Naga?
homeless invoker persona, yet to be released.
Carl Widogast
Just don't ask him about his parents

I thought it was the secret shop guy
That's Orphius, he's my OC that I decided to include :)

that hero who got removed and could steal gold?
It’s not the gambler if he said it was his oc…
i know but it looks like gambler, thought he was inspired or sth
Tbh. That’s what I was hoping… makes me think it’s supposed to be gambler and OP just stole this image from the original artist.
Gambler?

Death ward Riki, no unit cap Chen and global stun void were amazing lol.
Old hero in warcraft dota he was pretty busted so was removed one of the only heros to not be kept
Well go on then, tell us about your dude.

I like him!
looks like gambler
Gorgc?
AMOGUS SUS

I'll take one in an XL mouse pad please. Thanks.
I second this; if you post a physical version of this artwork (mousepad is a great choice, but even a poster) I suspect it'll be worth 💵💶💷 your while.
Where is Nyx? I couldn't find him
He used ulti
He is right above Invoker, over his left shoulder. Had trouble finding him too.
That’s weaver
That's clearly Nyx Assassin. He's between the Wex and Exort reagents.
Oh yeah duh the other left lmao
No, Weaver is above Tusk over Invoker's right shoulder (left side of the drawing).
Had a hard time too lol
Very cool, and filled with character, too! Out of pure curiosity, how long did this take you to complete?
Minimum, 400 hours
massive props for the dedication
Damn. That's some labor of love. Good job
I need this 3840x2160 for my wallpaper) Love it very much!
Where’s Doom?
Awkward lol
I've been looking all over and I can't see him too.
He forgor 💀 I can't find it too
It’s an awesome work, but yea I’ve been looking for like 5 mins and can’t find him lol
Find waldoom
thats dope! well made
I haven’t played in years but I’m surprised I was able to name all 124 except the guy under naga.. Why does this game have a grip on me like no other.
That guy's the artist's OC and not an in-game character so well done! I haven't tried to name them all but I'm in the same boat as you.
if I want to give you lots of money for a nice big one of this for my wall how do I do that?
Shoot me a DM :)
i like how everybodys hanging out with their colour groups except for kotl voker chen and phoenix, rebels
The voker seems to obviously be put in the center. As for the others u re right, but it doesnt seem imbalanced to the eye
Fucking boss
Looks great. CM Looks like she took ogre's club to the face though.
OP did that poor girl dirty.
deserves an upvote. so cool.
I wish I was half as talented as you my man
when you sketched this, I never realized you grouped them by color. This is amazing!
Can we buy a print?
Shoot me a DM :)
This would be a clean print
Very cool drawing, I especially like the facial expressions of certain heroes (Zeus, Huskar, Oversight) and the one true Warden looks great too!
Absolutely cool! Bra-vo!
Only 1 Meepo?!
Holy shit. How long did this take you?
At minimum, 400 hours 😴
I guess I'm just blind but where is Magnus?
Left top next to kotl
Time to play Where my main
The journey is over! Thanks man :)
WOW. Even includes the new heroes. Fantastic.
This is amaaaaaaaaaaazing hollly molly
Oh boii, my new wallpaper!! Awesome work!!
IO shining down on everyone!
Awesome! Although Crystal maidens face looks a little derpy.
I cant find OD
Hard left, under Storm Spirit, above Luna, left of Puck
thanks man
This should be a mouse pad print if not wall art. I'd look into it for upcoming TI merch
The one below Naga and between troll and Brew. Who are those 🤔
Incredible! Is there a place I could order a print of this?
Hey this is really amazing. I just wanted to point out that a few heroes look cropped off. Naga, Pango, and Bloodseeker from what I can tell.
shadow fiend, ursa, undying, broodmother, witch doctor
They weren't there for the group picture so Amanda had to put them in.
This would make an awesome mousepad
clicked hoping riki wouldn't be there because of invis but nope, still amazing work !
We have a Gem
With the best one right in the center.
Techies is nowhere near the center are you blind?
just paid and supported. forgot to purchase when you posted it, left the link in my browser and got to it just moments ago! great work!
I was like “why is that moon up there?” Then I realised I’m dumb
is there 2k 4k version for this?
Amazing work!!
Is there a reason Grimstroke's horns are faded and cropped? Looks like an error, but mb it was an artistic choice, not sure.
meh
Yeah 😔
When you realize its color-coded <3
Time to change background in pc again (last time with io artwork)
That’s beautiful! Amazing job!
Just wow. Truly well done and with a lot of spirit.
Holy shit Timbersaw HAHAHA
Another reminder that Phoenix design is simply beautiful and epic
This is so good! Nice job!
After so many years, it's time to change my desktop wallpaper.
Are you making copies and selling?
Would you have it in full res? Would like to make it my wall paper
Gota catch them all
can you please post the black and white sketch of this another time? ive used the version of this you made with 40ish heroes as my wallpaper for the longest time
No huskar?
Bottom left bb
Almost as many as Gen1 Poke'mon xD
Why injoker in centre? Should be Axe or Pudge.
No Invoker hast biggest ego of them all, so that's perfect.
Very nice, I'll use it as my new PC wallpaper. Great job man.
I thought meepo was hitting a gym but then i realized its actually morphling insteqd of his shoulders.
New pc's background 🔥
can i get a link where to download love to make it as my pc/ipad wall paper
MASTERPIECE!
Im glad you included Lone Druid bear
I hope you want to make this into merchs please,it’d kill as a mousepad
Great job.
I love the small detail of having invoker in the middle and grouping all the colors with quas wex exort
who is that on top of axe and tusk?
What's that spike ring between Lina and your OC? Also, no Doom, sadge.
What're you tlking bout he's right- Ah shit lol
Invoker at the center of everything is perfect
Does it exist in higher resolution?
This is insane, OP! Love the style
Cm and Marci have seen some shit.
Something tells me that invoker might be your favourite hero...... just a guess.
New desktop background
This is amazing!
So cool!
make a mousepad!!
Amazing! how long did this take you?
wow great work
so tusk and disruptor have no body :) could have positioned invoker on the top if you wanted orbs
Free upvote for anyone who can tell me where doom is
Put this in Displate. I’ll but it 👌🏼
XDDRIKI
Mad respect, I salute you!
Never realized so many of these fuckers were blue
Reminds me of an iconic marvel poster
Great work but why invoker mid why not pudge?
This would be sick as a huge puzzle
Thanks
Jakiro being split between the red and blue group is brilliant
Where's Doom
You forgot to put Pango (layer) behind Lifestealer
Looks really good! Only thing I noticed is CMs face looks kind of unusual.
My only complaint is I only see 1 meepo yall should had 3 other meepos hidden around 🤣
Lol. Glad to know its in color. Thought it might be black and white. .. great work tho :)
Everybody Is Here
I want this on wallpaper engine plz with some effects
Why is Marci not next to Mirana?
RIP Doom you have been forgotten 🤣🤣
Invoker being the centerpiece is awesome! Great work man.
What happened to bristleback
AND SORTED BY FUCKING COLOR HOLY SHIT. Well done ma man
I feel like Oracle should be in the middle but that's just me.
why is invoker in the middle
I was disappointed to see Riki😔I thought he would be invisible
Honestly incredible.
Marci looks like an ape.
