Description And now . . . since the infestor got a new look this is even less relevant . . . well, not really, but it's still not in SC2 so hey.

Still fun though!

Dark Swarm all the way...

Yeesh...yea, that thing looks like it could easily eat a zergling or three when the need arises...

Defiler was one of my favorite Zerg units; you've done him great justice. I like how you didn't buff him up to the level of the previous Zerg redesigns, since he's basically the 'spellcaster' and should be vulnerable.

cheers!

Yep, I didn't want it to look like he could be much use directly in a scrap, but he did have to be pretty fearsome since if he's really pushed he can devour an Ultra for extra energy . . .

Jinshin In reply to ??? [2009-02-23 20:22:32 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Defiler! Always has been one of my favorite units.

I'd always envisaged the Defiler as playing host to numerous bugs and parasites on its body. I like how you added another set of "mouths". It can Devour Zerglings through its neck!

Mr--Jack In reply to Jinshin [2009-02-23 21:43:12 +0000 UTC]

Zerglings? The damn thing can devour Ultralisks if it feels like it . . .

tisinrei In reply to ??? [2009-02-23 19:27:48 +0000 UTC]

the defiler has always been, in my view, the unit Zerg more horrible, malignant and symbol of Zerg infestation. I loved this version.

however he is using dark swarm or plage?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mr--Jack In reply to tisinrei [2009-02-23 21:42:12 +0000 UTC]

Dark swarm; hence the orange and the bugs.

Yeah, I felt I had to give it a pretty nasty feeling...

shadow-link In reply to ??? [2009-02-23 19:21:32 +0000 UTC]

Great work again. I didn't like the defiler before but this version makes me want to see it in 3D. It actually looks threatening now.

A few peeps in a Stacraft forum (with no DA account) want me to ask: are you considering doing any units from the other races after being done with the Zerg?

Great work as always.

Mr--Jack In reply to shadow-link [2009-02-23 21:48:08 +0000 UTC]

It's a definite possibility, yeah

But I've got a long way to go before that.

Danm, this thing is scary! :shiver:

I've always though Defiler is way scarier than Infestor.

XanderPRO In reply to Mr--Jack [2009-02-23 22:07:38 +0000 UTC]

Meh, while I adore new Infestor artwork, the unit itself is way raw still. There's ton of work that needs to be done.

Defiler with its abilities is so well thought through - almost to perfection.

Anyways props for you. Always enjoying your work.

Just out of curiosity: are you planing on doing all SC1 Zerg units? Even Scourge and Broodling?

Andantonius In reply to ??? [2009-02-23 14:41:13 +0000 UTC]

Another spectacular piece! I love the intricate details, and the swarm is awesome!

Though I think it might do it some good if you added some more colors to the defiler itself; maybe some putrid greens or a little of the orange as little glowing sacs or something.

But it's still awesome!

Either way, I enjoy looking at the process an artist goes through when working. I suppose my somewhat interest in da Vinci's works caused this.
