BroodLord / Ling Concept & Theorycraft

[The_Blade]

The broodlore having its two wingmates seems unzergish to me. Make it more zergy by making broodlings fly around like a carriers interseptors but within a smaller range.

I'll see if I can sketch a few of them out, an put them up for some more opinions & then I'll run with the designs from there.

This is what I'm currently working on actually.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it up online tonight.

I'm gonna put up my latest drawing shortly.

True statement is true. :P (Also, I was in Washington State, not DC) I ended up having to charge the camera (since I don't have a scanner) & got distracted afterwards.

*fingers crossed for getting it up around 8PM MST today*

Final Stretch?

[The_Blade]

I'm waiting... ^^ JK

Looking forward to it.

Ugh. I'm still shredding things apart looking for the USB Cable. I've found FOUR that can charge my PS3 controllers AKA ones that are a fraction too large for the camera.

I bet thats the same problem Blizzard is having with Battlenet 2.0...

Na they found out an inovative way of powering their servers, though there's no current technology that can build pylons.

Sooooo.. Now that I finally managed to get this ancient thing online. I'll go into details. There's a few things that I like, but I'm still torn on the general design, so I didn't elaborate much.




The three claw arms around the face are opened up, one as a fused spike, and the two other along the front. The rest of the facial area's still rough, cause I'm not quite sure what I wanted to do with it.

The various sacs on the top each connect to a tube that follows inside a tentacle, and comes out of the body, grouping to either side, allowing it to throw out the little 'Lings through holes in the tips with a whipping motion. The back section had spines coming up at the intersections, leading slowly back where it's more lobster-tailed (possibility to have it crawl through the air more like the SG). Underneath, it has more buoyancy sacs, giving a slightly down facing tilt to give it a more AtG appearance.

Not really sure what I think of it overall, but I was using it as a jumping off point. I originally had the tentacles all over, which gave it a more behemoth-like appearance, but made it a little more Overlordish.

Hopefully I'll get some more drawings done, but the other angles were bothering me, because it seems like something's missing that I can't quite place. Also - the recent BroodLord's wing flapping animation today has me thinking about more possibilities for it, and if there's a more unique design that I can come up with.



I was possibly if I can make it a bit more Scorpion-like and using all of the front claw-arms as the throwing tubes for the Broodlings, and doing something else entirely with the body.

Anyhows, feedback on the general design, and now that I'm back at home & know where all the camera stuff is, I should be back to a more normal (less Blizzard-y) upload/response time. Cheers.
