I love the game too! it's very nice and destructive
I personally like both protoss and zerg. I like destructive unhumanly forces

Hehhe same here
I like zergs to some degree too
Ok, I like raptiles + insectoid like creatures and the zergs sometimes have both traits
You should check the Tyranids from the Warhammer 40k They are one hell of a destructive force to deal with

oooo lol, kk
I like zerg coz they are angry, "disgusting", over all built to kill, stuff of that sort. and the leadership progress and things, it's just..interesting o.o
the only true reason I like protoss is the designs o.O I'm not much for their way of life and such, except maybe the dark templar... found that pretty interesting

True, the Dark Templar is one of the more interesting part of the Protoss race ^^
I really like their looks + way of life :3
Actually I started to make a re-design of the protoss armours since (in my opinion) they looks really sluggish :/ Despite the fact that they are a technologically superior race to the humans in this story xD
I only uploaded a WIP of it yet.

Ekuhikaarme In reply to Tanathiel [2009-10-30 20:03:13 +0000 UTC]
it does look sluggish...
though the female armor looks nice, if not rather top heavy o_O

Tanathiel In reply to Ekuhikaarme [2009-10-30 20:40:22 +0000 UTC]
Hm, the only female protoss armour I have seen so far looks pretty decent ^^
It suits them more I think.
Though the version I made so far, is a type of heavier armour, allowing freedom of movement, though not as fast as a zealot would be. They should move as fast as a zealot without the speed upgrade. They are the heavy infantry of the zealots, functions as a sergeant would in the human military. At least thats the basic idea I had in mind ^^ They are equipped with a small photon gun on the left hand while they keep the blade on the other. Other than this, they are heavily armoured. Got helmet, gloves, covered head to toe with armour.
So far it looks like this:

Thank you ^^
I'm planning to do my own Protoss zealot. I redesigned the armour of it, as well as the weapons (partly) so it won't really resemble the original Blizzard version :3
Hehhe, for that matter, this Templar's armour is a bit different than the original too lol :3

Sweet!
Any chance it'll be a Zealot or Archon?

Tanathiel In reply to notsotoasty [2008-08-27 22:14:53 +0000 UTC]
Zealot ^^
In modified armour
Head to toe full armour this time xD
I changed the style a bit (compared to the official Starcraft 2 zealot model at least) and it has some other changes, but overall, it will stay the good old protoss look (I hope)

I have another protoss art in my mind (and some scetch on the papers ) so, I guess sooner or later (that means, after I have finishd with my commissions...
) I will make another one ^^ With even better quality :3
(though, I have a serious deadline at april, so... I guess after that :3)

wow I really like this. The white pencil used for highlighting is great, I've seen this done a few times and really want to try it myself. You really got the surface textures to differ as well - neat job!

Tanathiel In reply to jezviking [2007-12-01 13:30:37 +0000 UTC]
Hehhhe thanks for the compliment
I love to use this technique, and I guess I can handle it better than the time this piece was made I like the way I can make the highlights and the base colour of the picture helps a lot in the process. Well, this is a bit "cheat" in some way becasue I don't need to make a mid-tone
But instead I have to make balance between the use of black and white :3
π: 0 β©: 1
jezviking In reply to Tanathiel [2007-12-01 15:31:43 +0000 UTC]
Yep I guess it's all how the brain sees things. Balance and tonal values is something that I wish I had naturally, but it seems I have to learn it lol

Tanathiel In reply to jezviking [2007-12-01 16:38:31 +0000 UTC]
I had to learn it too XD If you take a moment and take a look at my old pictures ( it is funny, that mostly all of my pictures that I have made so far in my life is uploaded here XD) you can see, that I have "evolved" to my current style as the years passed :3
Though this is my favourit style that I use now, but still, I needed some time and to see other artists same works to start with this one :3
Another thing to keep in mind, that you can be better if you look at better artists works I do the same :3
If you like Warhammer 40k, I highly recommend the Warhammeronline's website. Ok, it is the medival version of the Warhammer universe, but still, I'm shocked about the concept arts... they are amazing...

Yeah I can't decide on a style to focus on and become good at. I think I am best in ink however I really want to paint! argh! lol
Thanks for the link, I love warhammer artists, they have a grim atmosphere in their work which i really love.

Tanathiel In reply to jezviking [2007-12-02 10:09:00 +0000 UTC]
There are a bunch of great Warhammer 40k art here on DA too
Anyway, about the painting... if you would like to paint that much, you only have to do is to improve yourself :3 No one else can do that on your behalf XD Practise and practise... I know it is an old thing, but still works

Sometimes I just completely fed up with the whole thing... and don't draw for a few weeks or month. Eh, everybody got a bad day
