Description
The Extractor from Starcraft. Drawn on an 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. I don't currently plan to do the rest of the buildings, though a Hatchery, Command Center, and Nexus can be found in my other submissions.Related content

I still have one idea for building scale drawing. What do you think about drawing Zerg Overmind? Maybe even in two versions - the original Overmind and the second one from Broodwar, which consisted of a few cerebrates together.

I was actually planning to do at least one of them! And a hive. The size would be a pretty big guess, I'm not really sure there's enough information to come up with two different sizes for them, but I actually get the feeling the one shown in Brood War was bigger than the original. Maybe the original had slimmed itself down into a smaller form for its trip from Zerus to Aiur.

The two skin flap-tube things (are there technical terms for Zerg structural morphology?) on the left gas sac above the protrusion comes off looking a lot more like a horizontally-stretched hydralisk face than I think was intended, but it works really well. The buildings are already organic, so having traits of other creatures in the gene pool unintentionally pop up here and there isn't too out of the question.
Fantastic coloring work and line work as always, of course. I don't know if you used the same green as the game's palette to go off of, but it works really well - the right sac in particular looks suitably murky and translucent.
