Awesome job as always. The only problem I see is how much smaller the reaper is compared to the marine even though he is at the very front of the scene.

CrabTasterMan In reply to Terrorwing [2007-06-07 15:40:25 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm. yeah... but i though reapers were supposed to be much more light than marines/? but yeah its still way too small.... and the tank is too small compared to the marine. Even if its height is drastically reduced from the crushing, the treads are too small: they are only about the size of the marine's leg. I must FIX!! Thank you pointing those out, man!

does that marine on bottom right have a jet pack? o.O

mhe they need to make some sort of aerial marine :/

btw wasnt their gonna be like this uber Dt' or human-zealot mix going on in sc:ghost? maybe that will be in sc2?

CrabTasterMan In reply to SaDistik2 [2007-06-05 08:23:49 +0000 UTC]

Yes! That marine with a jet pack is called "Reaper" or something. Its in SC2. Official. The bad thing is, they look total ripoffs from Warhammer. Their helmets look completely like Warhammer stuff. Well, blizzard has always loved ripping stuff off of GamesWorkshop, esp in making starcraft...

You mean the black ghost thing in the artwork you see in sc:g? or do you mean Terran Spectres, who are advanced forms of terran ghosts?

I dunno, I doubt they will have that. SC:G is analogous to SC as Command and Conquer Renegade was to Command and Conquer. Its like you get to see some units and structures you saw in the RTS close up in a FPS RPG, but as you go to enemy Tiberium labs and stuff you start seeing off-canon things like mutated human armies enhanced with tiberium and the like. You dont see that in a RTS. I doubt anything cliche dramatic like that will be shown in SC2. Those drama stuff are saved for FPS RPGs.

Whoops - forgot to comment .

I love the perspective on this one - looking through your gallery, it is clear that you're a natural at unusual and visually interesting angles.

About the featureless front bit of your Colossus....I have this suspicion that it should be a giant face. However, even in the High-res gameplay vid, that part of the Colossus is too small to say for certain. What leads me to suspect this is that both the Immortal and the Stalker also have 'faces'. I think that it's part of the Protoss' 'new look'.

I must say, when I first saw the Colossus, I was like: "NO!" UGLY! WHYYYYY? But it's grown soooooo much on me! I love it now.

I like action and i generally try not to draw things in a normal standing, static position, unless its concept art or something. (and even in concept art i rarely draw things doing nothing ) ACtion is FUUUUUNNN!

I think i saw big eyes on the colossus and i drew them on this one... i think the stalker does have a face cuz in the concept art it looks like its a dark templar's head attached to a mechanical spider.

Drat...I had hoped to be the first to make Colossus fanart, but then I noticed this on starcraft.org . It also hurts that I had something drastically similar to this in mind =/.

Oh well...I'm going ahead with it anyway, so after next week, you can expect to see more SC2 fanart on devart .

At the moment though, all I have on my SC credentials is this: [link]

But, seeing this now, i see so many quality issues and places i need improvement. I see in your gallery, with your skillz, you can make a better piece! You have a rival colossus artwork here you can always come to and serve as an example to what you need to beat. In the end, you will finish an even more splendid Colossus fanart!

They say that they are gonna release it on OCTOBER 2007. So says it on their FAQ in their official sc2 site.

They dont have the time cuz they are always wasting time on studying useless detailed crap in every school subject. And extra stuff learnt in cram schools.

They dont have cultural advances.

cuz they are the "elf Race" clean, high, strong, magical... its just like elves of some shitty fantasy world like Warcraft.

And even ppl who dont like magic and high fantasy like this form of psychic alien technology, a crafty disguise by Blizzard....

I dunno, this time, ever since the official announce and the video demo they showed us back in Seoul, a lot of Koreans didnt like the new graphics... and some say it seems the joy of quick hits and quick runs of the first starcraft is ruined in the SC2 demo.

And I dont like the new design for all three races... The protoss became too sophisticated and their new units look too complicated and not aerodynamic and it looks they would break easily.

i hate the gossammer wings for zerglings
i hate the nydus worm. It looks too fleshy and too less insectoid. Its a damn dune worm now!!

Terran Command Center looks like a huge totoise with fatter legs than before and it looks like a tortoise bending down to shit its crapload out.

All in all, theres too much color in the new game... at least for terrans and their spaceplatforms. It looks like a damn StarWars game thing, a friend commented to me.

But woot for the Zelot charge attacks!

NightShadow02 In reply to CrabTasterMan [2007-05-23 05:50:31 +0000 UTC]

I myself wasnt too impressed by the game. It looks like an expansion could have done the same thing.

Im glad that most familiar units are back though. Like that badass marine Tychus Findlay i thinkn in the trailer. When starcraft ghost comes out I expect to see marines as detailed as that ingame.

the cool thing about the structures is that they look a lot like their predecessor. Lots of familiarity retained.

Also, being part of the event was a nice feeling. I wasnt there at the convention, but I was on an IRC channel with a lot of members and we were constantly refreshing the ign site waiting for updates from the nice fellow who updated whenever deemed necessary.

And watching the live video, it was a nice dramatic moment as when the Starcraft II logo faded in amongst cheers of happy south koreans.

I think, it depends on the individual, if you like sc1's gameplay, stick with it, if you prefer the new sc2 gameplay, play that one. I guess this is a sort of variety kind of thing. Im bored of this strat. Lemme just try that new strat that i was working on in that other game. Or something.

CrabTasterMan In reply to NightShadow02 [2007-05-23 16:19:06 +0000 UTC]

In skirmish?
I only played that once and I used Scrin...

I'm trying to clear all the campaigns with Hard Difficulty level... some are just impossible, not cuz the enemies raze my base too quick... its those special commando missions i can barely hold out against.

I 'm amazed by the power of the scrin. Its amazing how 5 squads of disintegrators and 2 elite stormriders can takeout about an attack of 8 predator tanks, coming 3 times. It was On hard difficulty level, the Operation Stilletto mission where i capture gdi and Scrin bases without being able to produce any nod units other than the commando, shadow team, or saboteurs... Yeah that mission. I barely managed the mission... Damn Its either GDI or SCRin keep destroying each other's construction yards/drone ships and my mission fails... yeah missions like that make me lose without losing my base.

NightShadow02 In reply to CrabTasterMan [2007-05-23 16:59:41 +0000 UTC]

hmm, i played it on normal. maybe you werent quick enough in capturing the GDI Cyards.

get the south one first then build up a giant GDI force to pummel the north base then attack the scrin.

im not sure what differences the difficulty levels make, maybe they're merely hitpoint differences or something.

CrabTasterMan In reply to NightShadow02 [2007-05-24 05:01:36 +0000 UTC]

Mmm... not necessarily... in one nod mission where you attack ayer's rock to get killian, youget 4 sabots and 1 avatar. In hard, you get a normal avvy, in normal, you get a fully promoted avvy with all four commandeered upgrades.

When I did the stiletto mission on hard, it was so hard to get past the guards and the gun towers.. they always kill off my sabots and commandos... plus they got apcs pumpin lead all the time... death to infantry...

i can shut down the defense sys with shadow teams, but it takes time to kill 6 or 7 powreplants even if they were vulnerable... i have to wait a long time for the bombs to reload.
