Next, then.

I was a bit worried about the pose on this one, since it was looking a little odd, but once I got the shadow on the BG in it seemed to sort itself out pretty nicely; I suppose it's just a little odd looking at something with 5 legs.

So yeah, this is sort of in-between the old lurker and the new model; I don't exactly know what the original one looked like, really—the in game model was a lot bulkier and cooler looking I think than this render which came out at the time BW was released, which imo looks too much like a hydra with a couple of extra legs. Not entirely a fan of the current model either, so! This is then a bit more original on my part than most of these. I like to think it's still recognisable, though, so I 'spose that's up to you :D

Quicker than the Hydra, maybe 5 hours.

Man, what's just your source of inspiration... xD

I can imagine... you have a subject from some game or movie you like and wanna draw a fanart. You think of a proper position you wanna paint the object in, and then it starts. You have to work out details, that aren't visible in original pictures, yourself because now, in the composition you chose, they have to be there (apart from own thoughts and ideas about details).

This looks really really great (as almost xD)! Awesome job! I also like very much, how you have made it to keep the colors of the drawn zerg units (you have made yet), very "uniform" (dunno if that is the word that expresses what I mean oO) - all the muscles and flesh peak out in that sharp violett tone blending over into the brown of the ossified shell parts. Awesome!

btw now that you've mentioned... I took a look at the SC2 - lurkers @ google. and... I expected something different."

You're relaxed. You're sublime. You're amazing.
:iconmr--jack:

You can't fight in here,
this is the war room!
:iconutharas:
Coolest (maybe not by appearance) zerg unit in the game. I would like to see some terrain or protoss later.

Another awesome illustration! I love how you do the mix of hard carapace and soft underbody, gives them a very tough, but not invincible look.

You did a really cool job with the design too; though, in BW's defense, the lurker technically is just an evolved Hydralisk, so it would make sense that it looks similar to one with a few extra legs. But yours still looks cooler, even if it's technically less correct, so you win. xD

Though I guess yours could be correct; because the mutalisk to guardian metamorphosis is pretty big, too.

Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?".

Man these Starcraft pieces are brilliant. Great work.
:iconfirebatboy:
It's amazing!! very good details...and colors!Great Job!!
:iconraamiz:
Brilliant! Lurker is my Fave SC:BW unit :) i really liked how you colored him, so we actually can see that he evolved from Hydralisk :) and btw that Horn on his head is Great addition! :D 11/10
Waiting for Ultralisk and Flayers :)
:iconeduardosouza:
I think yours is better. That render looks like it's a hydralisk with a bunch of legs :O
Great work... again!

Would you pay me a visit?
:iconnogarkhaz:
Your work is so awesome yet again.

One little critique, though, is that to me his face doesn't look evil enough. He looks.. happy? But still it is awesome work!
