Unit Pictures

I love the little writing that says 'Rushes' and then numbers showing the amount it's presumably survived on that SCV.

[Robear]

SCV, medic, and reaper added. According to some sources the SCV should be bigger (think goliath size), but I'm trying to balance that with fitting inside a bunker and stuff. It wouldn't be very plausible for banelings to be such a huge threat to SCVs if they were nearly as big as siege tanks.

The reaper came out pretty cool imo.

Are you thinking about including some Buildings too, then? It might be neat to see a few of them at least to give an idea to scale.

Also, is that a little rocket at the Reaper's ankle? It'd make sense for stability reasons. Good detail if so.

Yeah, it's in this Samwise concept art, so I threw it in there. I'm not sure where it gets fuel from, but at least it's not coming right out of his feet like Iron Man.

I won't be including any buildings. Which doesn't mean I might not draw them for fun some time, but this is a project I want to actually finish. I want to finish the 80-or-so units I've decided to draw, and have them printed out on a poster on my wall, and I want this in a couple of months at most. Buildings would be speculative, take up too much space, and take too much time, so, not for this project.

[Turalyon]

Hey Robear, the line-up of all the units are starting to look a little squished. I'm glad you separated the Reaper on it's own but I wanted to see the Medic, too! Otherwise we can't fully appreciate the detail and effort you've clearly put into each drawing.

Take up too much space? Tell that to the carrier, battlecruiser and other behemoth sized units.

Yeah, the medic drawing doesn't actually look sogood; I drew it on the couch eating and watching American football. :P



My 'overlay' method of coloring doesn't work so well when the unit's white, because it just lightens my outlines. So, I'll have to work on this one a bit more, but I'm happy that now I have the SC1, SCG and SC2 marine suits in there.

Heh, tell me about it. Here's another battlecruiser-prep sketch I did (the battlecruiser's actually a bit small in it, and the wings are too long, but, whatever, I'm ready to draw it from the side).



So big. Q_Q
I plan to lay out the poster with the ground units and small ships shown big enough to see in a section on the bottom, and then have the top show the larger ships with a little tiny scaled down version of the ground units. It's the best way I can think of to get everything in one image, but the infantry are still going to be tiny. :/



I have no idea how big the corruptor and brood lord should be. :/
Any guesses?

[The_Blade]

I'd say Overlord size for the Corruptor and the Brood Lord being a bit larger. The Zerg have numbers, aside from the Leviatan, I don't think they need massive air units.

[Alex06]

Corruptor: About the size of the Scout, if not, then around the same size as SC2 Dropship, at least.
Brood Lord: Same size, if perhaps not slightly larger than the Guardian.

I would also make that Science Vessel smaller. Perhaps half or 2/3rds of its own size, so it becomes at least a bit smaller than the Battlecruiser.

[Visions of Khas]

The Mothership could be tricky. We've got canon art for it with Mutalisks, but they're too far away from it to provide any scale. You might go by the first StarCraft intro cinematic, but that might not even be an actuall Mothership. We should have some reference for it by the time Legacy of the Void comes out.

And the Science Vessel should be a bit smaller. From the Battle of the Amerigo cinematic, we have a shuttle docking with the vessel. Those shuttles are comparable to Wraiths. I think Alex's estimation of 2/3rds its current size is about spot on.

[Jconant]

I think its safe to say though that the mothership is much larger than a carrier and we have cinematic info from SC1 which shows us how small mutalisks are in comparison to the Garinthor.
