HoTS Portaits and Wireframes

[TheProgramer]

Here are the portaits and wireframes for the new units. Sorry for some of the inconsitanties (red or yellow, or green wireframe, mouse command card instead of keyboard command card, etc.).



Protoss








Zerg








Terran

I get the sense that the Oracle pilot is female.

I get the sense that the Oracle pilot is female.

She's ABSOLUTLEY 100% a girl. And even cooler she's a Dark Templar. Reminds me of Razagal.

When I first saw the Carrier Portait I thought it was a girl hehe. Would of been cool if they made the Carrier Pilot a girl.

[Cotcan]

Cool, but shouldn't this be under the HoTS section?

[Aldrius]

Not really feeling the Zerg portraits, but the Oracle's portrait is REALLY cool.

...still really not sure what's up with the Mothership's portrait... why is she just a bunch of crystals? =|

Tempests looks okay.

Not really feeling the Zerg portraits

I second this opinion. They look pretty generic in that they look like every Zerg portrait out there. Meanwhile, the Tempest reminds me or Artanis for some reason.

What I'm more interested in is the voice acting and unit quotes. Will Blizzard finally inject some personality into the Protoss units much like they have with Terrans or will the only stereotype portrayed by the Protoss continue to be Scary Dogmatic Aliens?


P.S.: I want the Oracle to have a Gypsy fortuneteller voice with lots of crystal ball related jokes.

Better idea:

"Know Thyself."
"With silver spears, you shall conquer the world."
"I count the grains of sand on the beach and measure the sea."
"I understand the speech of the dumb and hear the voiceless."
*Unit Portrait animation of the pilot shaking a magic 8 ball.*
"*Sound of a fortune cookie cracking open* A thrilling time is in your future... well, that's ominous."
"Do not mistake temptation for opportunity... in bed."

Widow mine still has the Shredder's WF, so that probably wont stick

Nice references to the Oracle of Delphi. However, it doesn't bring much diversity to Protoss personalities - it still carrying the heavy religious overtones that just about every Protoss unit already has.
