Zergling's look

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

i dont' like the way it looks in sc2. i can't really see what they look like in sc1 but i dont' remember them having claws sticking out everywhere.

Zerglings have wings now... BANELINGS!! YEAH

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

I like the classic look a little better. The new designs, to me, takes away their mass-ability. It gives them a sense of individuality better than previous models did; which is actually a bad thing. I think they were better when they weren't frilly and big. The classic zergling image was an indistinguishable blanket of writhing organic mass that would tear things apart.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

I like the new zergling actually. The old one was a blob of team color.
I also like it a lot more than the SC Ghost zergling.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

Did you ever look at the pictures in the manual, pages 9 and 57? That's the way they were supposed to look. Or like in that cinematic, "the invasion of Aiur", when they run around in the burning, ruined city.

The new zergling looks vicious, it's evil >, a creature born to fight, always ready for combat with its razor-limb sickles and fangs. Just look at those claws. Ok, it's weak in the damage department, but that's why the come in dozens.

I think zerg warriors should look scary and feral. When you see a screen full of lings, hydras, mutas and ultras storming toward your troops you should think "I'm doomed". This is of course my own opinion, and I'm a long-time zerg-player, so this isn't a neutral oppinion.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

because the game are made at different times, therefore, different application of technology.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

One of those was by samwise I believe (the side view one) and he made a new one for SC2 that looks very similar except for the wings and some other minor changes. I believe that one's in the art trailer.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

Yes, it's the small picture on the bottom of page 9 of the manual. And you can find the new version at 1:15 in the artwork trailer.

In my oppinion, he has allways done great artwork. He did alot of the wallpapers for StarCraft; the firebat, the dark archon, the medic, the infested terran and my personal favorite, the one with Zeratul.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

I love the new look, though I am a bit partial to the feral dog I massed in SC. The new look stresses the massive amounts, the feriocity that Zerglings are famed for. Gotta love em..and the new look just makes me even more impatient for the game...

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

Yeah he's one of my favorite artists.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

I'm not sure how much we have seen from Chris Metzen recenty, but I absolutely love his drawings in the manual for WarCraft 2. Gul'dan, the paladin, the skeleton, all the banners. It was his pictures that made me want to learn to draw all those years ago. I still have an old human farm I drew something like 12 years ago hanging on my wall.

 

Re: Why does the Zergiling always look diferent in every game?

yeah metzen is good too
Have you seen this site? http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/
It has Samwise's, Metzen's and three other Blizzard artist's galleries.

 

Does anyone else think that the zerglings look almost exactly like felhounds from wc3?

 

Yup, i was thinking that exactly when i saw a starcraft ghost cinematic. They should lose the wing things and make Zerglings look more doglike

 

Yup, i liked the look from the SC1 zerglings much better, now they have like hair and wings everywhere :s anyways, first post on the forums jeej!

 

Welcome to the forums owerup:

 

amm.. stop comparing sc2 to w3 maybe?

problem solved :good:

 

Blizzard should stop doing that

 

they look like insects now. like a cloud of insects. i think its cool.

 

I always thought that the Felhounds looked eerily similar to the Zerglings, even from SC1, or at least how I imagined the SC1 Zerglings would look in real life. I do, however, really enjoy the look of the SC2 Zerglings... very.. swarmy?
