Yes, I will recast it with resin and paint it. You can buy parts or the whole statue in the end, if you can afford it | ||

thanks a lot. @Bio0rMech: This is my third attempt actually, as you can read in the blog. so it took quite a while to that point... but i´m getting better at it and work a lot faster now @Termit: I built a Protoss zealot costume for a new years party  and then decided that I could at least make the head of my ever beloved Hydralisk.And soon I wondered what such a creature would look like in reality... have you ever figured out how HUGE it is?? So I went for it | ||

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS actually it´s just my first hydralisk head I made 3 :D The first one was made out of paperclay, like the protoss´ head. But it takes forever and i can´t cast it with resin, so i switched to my styrofoam, gypsum, clay model. The Protoss was a costume for a new years party I will upload pictures of that one on my blog in near future.You can also check out other things I built (on my blog). Some Insects for instance They are pretty convincing. | ||

I saw on your blog that the hydralisk is going to be 4m high and almost 6m long, that will be pretty sick! | ||

You say "real-life" so I'm guessing pretty big, don't most hydras stand a few feet taller than humans? (judging by the cinematics in SC) | ||

And just even taller compared to a man (raynor here) | ||

I think Blizzard should replace their WoW themed Orc statue outside with a Starcraft one. A Marine riding a Hydralisk sounds good to me... ![[image loading]](http://www.blogcdn.com/wow.joystiq.com/media/2009/06/blizzfullstatuemain.jpg) | ||

If he does plan on selling it, he will probably be asked by Blizzard to not do that. There's nothing wrong with making statues, I can even imagine Blizzard wanting to show off their awesome artwork. However, you are not allowed to sell those things, rights belong to Blizzard. Seem to remember another artist showing of some awesome work, offering to sell some pieces and then being asked by Blizzard to stop.

I don´t like to build the plates on top of it. It´s difficult, and I don´t know if it looks very realistic not to have space in between each of them. Do you people want to see new pictures or do you want to wait till it´s finished? | ||

I moved to Berlin to study digital film design, so this project is on ice somehow, until I got more money and more time, but I definately want to keep working on it, because this creature has an awesome design! All credits to Blizzard If you want to stay tuned on future projects, watch my blog or my youtube channel. I´ll post some animation work soon This is the latest state: Youtube - Hydralisk part II ![[image loading]](http://i3.ytimg.com/vi/rnywXzxvUzs/default.jpg) Stay tuned and spread all of this, if you please kaleblechowski.tumblr.com kaleblechowski.deviantart.com | ||
