Description
Starcraft 2: Zerg Infested MarineModel by Allen Dilling & Phill Gonzales, final textures by Ted Park!
Concept by Mr - - Jack!: [link]
Animated by Jay Hathaway
The Infested Terran Marine was one of the last models to be updated for Starcraft 2. When the Zerg race was finally premiered the Infested Marine was hastily made by modifying the Terran Marine with additional Zerg features. Afterward the Infested Marine was juggled around frequently as the design team searched for the correct gameplay role for this unit. The appreciation for the Infested Marine was always very high and the development team intended for this unit to return to Starcraft 2 somehow.
Near the end of the Zerg unification pass the Marine was finally brought back for a final artwork rendition. Modifying the Marine model done by Allen Dilling, the Infested Marine’s Zerg appendages were added on, based off a concept done by Mr. - - Jack! The Concept was actually done prior to Mr. - - Jack’s employment at Blizzard, but Samwise requested that it be used for the updated model.

i love the design but is weird that the the suit is infected too xD or is just that the infested terran mass is spreading over the suit?

The idea is that the infested flesh is spilling out of the suit.

is it just me, or does it look like they severed his arm and jammed the gun there, and used some zerg stuff as sticky glue to keep it there.

It looks more like the flesh of his arm grew around the stock of his rifle as he mutated to me. Kinda like how a drone will burst out of its cocoon into a mass of tentacles and stuff before changing into the completed structure when it transforms into a building.
