Not sure I understand your question? Where did i get the images? Or are you asking something else?

Yes, I'm about the characters of SCII - the references with all details.

These are some great redesign and modelwork! I wish thatΒ Starcraft 2 : Brood War got some more patches and got these wonderful units back for zerg, these are so iconic for Sc1.Β Β

Did that Queen make it into the game files? I never saw it in HotS!

She's in the files, she didn't make it into HotS though.

You know? I like more these new designs!!!!!Β
I never understood the designs of those Zerg in SC1 because looked blurred and pixelated, These new designs are more detailed and awesome!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!

You know, I always admired the low-res "pixel-art" of the original SC. It really let my imagination do the drawing, and so I thought of it as being more realistic than it really was at the time. Probably a reason why pixel art is popular these days, especially in indie games.

I miss the Guardian, it is my favorite flying zerg unit

Oh man, I was way off on those original units. I thought the giant color streaks on the Devourer were eyes at first, then I thought they were antenna. As for the Queen...I just don't know. First time I ever made one my first thought was, "What?" I eventually settled on the thought they were the result of a plastic bag and a spider fused together.

Heehee, this happens to me too, the sprites are easy to interpret differently!Β

It's a real shame the Devourer didn't make it into the final game - I mean, sure, I never made much use of them myself, but artistically what you have here is not only brilliant in and of itself, but conceptually, as a "next gen" Mutalisk, it is absolutely perfect.

I agree, there is a missed opportunity here, BUT, we still have an expansion left and who knows what could happen.Β

Oh wow! I mean, the devourer weren't looking like anything solid in BroodWar...

I kind of notice that at the Starcraft 1 remake campaign, hell yeah! 
But one thing that bugs me is that if only the person should model the Guardian when HotS already provided the model from Zerus itself. I hope I'm wrong on this one.

I may be reading into your comment wrong, but these models aren't for the Starcraft 1 remake campaign, they were built for SC2: Heart of the Swarm.Β
The Queen was never used, the Devourer only appears as a background unit, and the Guardian was retextured for Zerus.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, interesting. 
I I mean I said the people who make the remake shouldn't re-model the Guardian when the Zerus campaign already provided it for them.
So anyway, I'll look into those remakes, this could be fun!

Those are some really neat models. Did you get a hold of them, or are you one of those working on that StarCraft + Brood War remake for StarCraft II?
π: 0 β©: 1
I made them for SC: Heart of the Swarm!
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, really? Thats really nice!
π: 0 β©: 0
While the Guardian made its way to HotS as Primal Zergs, why we can't use them as Swarm Zerg? why not re-introduce them to the swarm?
What happened to the Devourer and the Old Queen? Discarded like the rest?
π: 0 β©: 1
The Devourer and the Old Queen were overlooked, which is unfortunate that they weren't included in the Zerg Campaign.Β

Maxx!!! I didn't know you were on DA! I peed a little.
Trevor pushes us to the "MaxxMarshall" all the time when we make Zerg, standards must be upheld!

You guys have done an amazing job!!!

Happy thoughts indeed!

Yes! Till you remember all the zerg rushes and asian beat downs I took. Ah but still those were good times.

wow i had completely forgotten how shitty and pixelated those guys looked LOL. all the glorious memories from my broodwar years clouded my mind
π: 0 β©: 1
It's understandable! The constant criticism we received while making Wings of Liberty was the new high definition art wasn't gritty like Starcraft 1. Starcraft 1 wasn't gritty, it was low resolution and pixelated!!!

I don't know. I'm not really seeing much of a difference
π: 0 β©: 1
The old guardian is way cooler than that new "primal guardian".
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, not quite the same nostalgia factor.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, I thought that since they are primal, thats what guardians looked like before starcraft 1.
