I'd been thinking about how the Artosis pylon, a single pylon being the sole power-source for a number of Protoss building, makes for a really good image, and for a while had been trying find a way way to paint it that wasn't simply 'here is a Protoss base', when Torte De Lini, legend that he is, gave me the jumping point I needed. So here it is, a quick painting I did fusing LoTR with SC2:
I was thinking of sticking it on a t-shirt or something but since it's mostly exact replicas of building Blizzard probably wouldn't like that. Til next time!

Get your quotes straight before putting it on a t-shirt
I knew I'd make a mistake with the quote, though I thought I'd double checked it! Easy to correct though, least it's not "you got the Tengwar on the ring wrong"

That's a brilliant idea, will try modifying it and see how it looks
you should put a link to the video of the Artosis pylon from Nasl, as well as a video from the gsl in which tasteless refers to the Artosis pylon, as Artosis quietly cries.

haha, I love that idea, Artosis, being secretly the ultimate evil pours all his evil will into an Artosis pylon, which gets destroyed, leaving him as a nice guy with a lot of Starcraft knowledge, so he casts :D

These are the times I hate youtube, this is all I could find that actually showed an Artosis pylon in action:
but... here is Day9 explaining the concept (best Artosis pylon-related video I could find):

Thanks! I have it at a larger resolution, I think A5 size, but as I say I'm not sure Blizzard would be cool with it. Will be trying to redesign it
