Sayle made a comment sometime during the last few rounds of the TLS2(iirc) to the effect of "someone build some zerglings and kill my casting". I wanted to draw the mental image from that in my mind ever since then but due to a lack of time and sometimes motivation I never got around to it until recently. I think this depicts Sayle's worst nightmare - another ZvZ Grand Finals. =P

Thank you Mr. Sayle for giving so much of your time casting for us! Thanks to Elegant for casting too, all the players in the TLS's and of course much gratitude to the staff and writers of the Teamliquid Legacy Starleague for 3 great seasons so far(get hyped for TLS4!).

I drew this on Photoshop CS5 with a Wacom Intous 4 tablet. Special shout out to my mom for all the advice she's given me on drawing this and for encouraging me to draw and be creative all my life.

[image loading]

I'm pretty happy with this one except for Sayle's face... I've re-drawn his face nearly a dozen times and this is (imo) the best I've done so gg no more re's. MinscandBoo 0-11 vs Sayle's Face. The zerglings are a hybrid between BW in game sprites, SC2 zerglings and some fan art I used for reference(linked below). Pictures of the zerglings by their onesies available on request.

Likey? I sometimes stream myself drawing on my justin tv account(http://justin.tv/minsc_andboo2) and although my main focus at the moment is finishing my current piece "Fate of Norns" I am open to suggestions on Starcraft related drawings to do. Looking for players/subjects that have alot of personality to make coming up with an idea easier.

Shout out to Nemu and andreyyy(DREDREDREDREDREDREDRE) for being a hoot to watch. I hope
both of you are in TLS4 so I can draw something to honor you!

So, I was like "uh..." earlier, since I couldn't come up with a comment, but I enjoyed the artwork, so 5 stars for arts + broodwar + sayle's face looking hilariously accurate. I came back later, still no comments, but still 5 stars, based on 8 ratings.

Then.

NeThZOR: "Superb drawing!"

Suddenly 4.44 stars.

Maybe he didn't 5 star it because the Twitch logo isn't shoehorned in somewhere. I mean, Razer suddenly has some kick ass looking shoes for no reason. Where's the Twitch love? I'm going to have to 4 star it myself just for that! Also no Colossus walking around in the background, Sayle isn't shooting second and no Ursadons pointlessly rearing in the background. Should make a prequel to this picture next.

One thing about the picture is really bugging me, and it's the translucent grass.

you mean around the shoes? After I did it, it felt a little weird because it didn't really fit with the rest of the grass but there was that a million other little things that bugged me personally and before I added the grass in front of the shoes it felt weird because it was like he wasn't actually touching the ground/grass.
