[Shadow Archon]

I'm just wondering. To me, this has always looked like fan-art for a hybrid. Now that I look at it today, it could very well just be a Protoss with a larger head dome. What was intended by the artist?

[Hawki]

I always got the sense of it being a protoss.

[Sarov]

I've always assumed that it's Tassadar, based on the old action figure.

Yeah, I think your right.

His head just screamed Hydralisk/Protoss to me somehow.

[Sarov]

Yeah. I always thought Tassadar looked weird. Not only because he didn't look very young but because his portrait was different.

I remember how I used to jokingly call him 'Panda Man'.

Looks like Grade AAA Standard-Issue Protoss to me.

Not as bad as Aldaris. For years, I thought he had a poorly rendered mouth.

Oh, didn't know who the artist was. Sorry.

@Quirel
I also used to think Zeratul sounded like he was farting whenever he did his "Hrm?" sound. >.>

As for the artwork, I think I have the answer. Found this in the history section of the "About Us" page:

The header artwork, featuring a Protoss High Templar, was created as a commision for SC:L by phungdinhdung.

So I was somewhat right. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if the artist got inspiration from old school Tassadar considering how much it resembles his action figure.
