SCII Art Panel Zerg Unit

http://sclegacy.com/images/uploaded/...sc2_art115.jpg

Anyone who attended BlizzCon know what it is?
If we get to use this in HotS, it'd be a fun addition to the game!

Blizzard used this as an example of the greatness of the galactic editor. They use it as a tease on what they were planing to create for Heart of the Swarm too.

I wish I could create these many props myself :(

I wish they would make the marauder proportionally correct. That'd be my 1 dream for art.

Actually it's just a new model/animations, so more of an example of the greatness of the artists :P

Can they not think of cool units anymore?

It's an infested bunker, just so you know.

Clearly you have not seen the spawn animation of that thing yet.

No Equilari, Wankey is just impossible to impress. I'm pretty sure he should just go back to BW.

+1 on this.

Also, I really liked that Infested Bunker idea! :D

Re: SCII Art Panel Zerg Unit

That was hilariously awesome! I love the quality of the animation, like that poor Marine falling out and being sucked sicking and screaming into its writhing mass. Classic.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED BLIZZCON THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!

Re: SCII Art Panel Zerg Unit

If this is any indication of what they are thinking storywise for HotS then I believe that they really are gonna make Kerrigan joins Raynor and be among the good guys which is why they would fuse their tech together or something. Could be interesting. Then again, why would it kill a marine? Unless it's a dominion marine (even though he's not red).

Is that true? Looks more like an infested Goliath from the looks of it. Note the clawed feet.

The zerg has got to be the race that's the most fun to design for. Just add random claws and teeth and anything will look like it's a natural fit. Can't wait to see what they have in store for HoTS. Hopefully it's something new and innovative.

No, it really is an infested bunker. The link that Equiliari posted shows the animation of it.

It would be pretty cool just to have an infestation mechanic for different buildings (kind of like the Zerg reveal with the infestors) - barracks for infested marines, bunkers for...bunker monsters...

Yeah well I like units that actually look like they're aimed for war:

But we get plastic units like this:

I actually liked the more metallic look they had before:

Dunno who spoke out against that.

I think the concept art for that new yellow'ish with black stripes unit is very cool

To each his own. I actually feel pity for all the folks whose present can never equal or surpass their past. Nostagia is a disease. The songwriter William Joel said it quite adequately. "The good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."

Re: SCII Art Panel Zerg Unit

Do mind, SC 2 is very good in it's own way (and especially where gameplay is concerned). However, when it comes to the artistic side the only thing that really has any connexion the original StarCraft is the music. The rest, well, it all starts with such basic design choices as colour palette and ends with writing and specific choices in ingame art and design, but the spirit of it all is very different. But all this really merits a discussion of it's own.
