StarCraft II Artwork Thread

[drakolobo]

Jonathan Berube has uploaded a ton of great images and videos showing the development of the Zealot and Probe cinematic models for LotV, as well as for updating the Ultralisk from the HotS intro.

Some of it is stuff we already knew about before, since some of the artists working on it posted their bits of it, but there's just a ton there. And he's uploaded videos showing turntables of the models and lighting on their surfaces and all that.

That Ultralisk never stops to amaze me

Yoo, the artist who modeled the Viking for the HotS intro posted pics of it (9 months ago, but I only just saw).



This is the best view we've ever had of the fighter mode. Though if I were to make my own version I would still scale down the cartoonishly large gatling guns / autocannons. Realllly not aerodynamic.

And mech mode:



Interestingly, it looks like a 2-seater in fighter mode. The second person gets covered up when it transforms!

I really like that. It's like a protective vehicle for an important prisoner or someone they have to keep safe.

Oh hey and the in-engine cutscene one from Covert Ops is also on artstation, so we can see the underside. It's wayyy simplified. Here there's less of a division between the 'two' cockpits. Also compare the way the wings are supposed to be collapsible, I don't believe for a second that the pistons with this one would work.

I like the new version more, more details, it's similar to the in-game model and makes sense as a precursor of the sc2 hydra... Am i the only that doesn't give a heck about this remaster? "Re-enjoy 19 years old techincal limitations... but with prettier graphics"... No thanks Blizzard, i know that multiplayer is better and the story is more consistant, but no, i already own scbw.

I don't like the new art, its too "SC2 chubby with rounded kid-safe spikes" and overly designed for me.

and I already hate SC2s art to begin with.

Something was always a bit off about the original Hydralisk. The design is improved and the tone of the artwork is still fairly gritty. I approve.
