Please be aware that “matching the Dota 2 art style” does not mean strictly following the coloring and silhouettes of Dota 2’s default hero items. Dota 2’s art style follows very important general design concepts that apply to the readability and quality execution of all items, including inventive items that thoughtfully differ from the defaults and add to the appeal of our game. These principles are covered in the Character Art Guide and other Asset Creation Guidelines that have been updated and expanded for Source 2.

Obscenity: We will automatically reject any obscene items.
Copyright infringement: Even if you made a model yourself, if you used an existing likeness without the owner’s permission, it’s copyright infringement. Unauthorized images, audio or models from other commercial properties, from other people’s Steam workshop submissions, from artist’s galleries on the Internet or from any other sources covered by copyright cannot be used in Dota 2.

Several Dota workshop artists have created item authoring guides on the Steam Community. If you’re impressed by the items of a workshop artist, click on the artist’s link under “Created By” on the item’s workshop web page. This will take you to the Steam Community page for the artist. They’ll have listings in the column on the right under “Guides” if they have created community guides. See if they have created any guides for authoring items. Some instructions and images may refer to Source 1 procedures but they could still be very helpful.

Look at our list of Service Providers to find toolmakers, organizations and users who provide tutorials and other assistance to workshop artists. If any of these service providers have been helpful enough that you’d like to show your appreciation, when you submit your item to the workshop you’ll have the option to give them a percentage of Valve’s revenue if the item is sold on the Dota store.
Go to Steam Community Dota Guides and use the “Filter” drop-down list to find guides tagged with “Workshop”, “Weapon”, “Modding and Configuration” or “Character”.
Visit the Valve Developer Community Modeling Category – most of this information is only applicable to Source 1 or other games, but it still covers general modeling concepts that are helpful.
