Second one is from the collector's ed art book, not sure about the first, but it certainly does look like a concept for kerrigan post-nerf

So that is what happens when you NP a carrier...

Noone has ever seen a carrier in a live SC2 game so it was a complete mystery up till now.

Protoss spearmen? Speaking of, reminds me of that ridiculous Protoss on a hoverboard that gained damage for killing bio units. Man would I kill for that against Terran...

Second pic makes me think of the Behemoth from the books, except it doesn't really look right. http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Behemoth Been ages since I read it but they used them as like giant transports? Would be pretty epic seeing one of those breach the atmosphere!

It looks quite distinct from a baneling to me. It doesn't have the bulging out, cancerous look in its gas sac, and it has a large crest.

Honestly, these are just photos from an art museum so maybe it could just be people's interpretations of a baneling, or infested carriers, Kerrigan and so on. I don't see it much as an inside look into the heart of the swarm. Not this early anyway.

"Art of the Swarm"

lol, but yea, there were tons of artistic interpretations of orig SC1 stuff that didn't look like anything in the game (maybe something designed but eh, we're dealing with actual predictions, not scrapped ideas.)

I'm completely behind Zhou's interpretation. There's a whole hodgepodge of art in there, with concept art from before WoL's release alongside. Spiny Kerrigan in a ghost outfit is neat, and may have been drawn with HotS in mind, but as diehard fans, we always seem to harp on little details and draw out as much uninformed speculation as we can.

The zerg art doesn't mean there's a new baneling-like unit on the way, or that banelings will have an upgrade in HotS. I'd give it overwhelming odds that it means before they settled on a look for the baneling in Starcraft 2, they played around with it a bit and wound up with several conceptual drawings.

I get the feeling thgat instead of having Kerrigan with zerg hair, blizz will just have that whole thing forgotten, and kerrigan is just and always was normal...

OR they just like, kemotherapy the hair.

but that picture now just looks stupid.

Sorry I don't mean to be offensive but it's starcraft art with nice pictures suddenly became "HotS first leak?" I think the thread deserves a better content than that.

because ppl will seriously think it IS "hots first leak" when they see the topic

She originally had dreads. They'll probably just do a dread/hair mix.

Confirmed. It was on a page with other various baneling artwork that all looked different. It's just a baneling design that they didn't choose to roll with.

I think these might be the concept art for Vindicators, a Protoss infantry unit that was going to be in SC:Ghost.

The Kerrigan is made by a fan, can't you tell? Official concept art is a lot more well-made. Notice the huge difference in detail between the first and second picture.

Official concept art they put on the website is alot more well made. The CE art book contains a bunch of "quick" scetches just like that.

I like the new pic of kerrigan, and its mostly what I expect her to look like in the next game. Then again I think chick with dreads are hot so to each his own.

That's the new WhaleCarrier, massive unit, able to carry up to 8 broodlords, and 5 corruptors in its belly, instant heal its flyer cargo after battle. Kerrigan decided to pay a little detour to Earth and incorporated whales into the zerg gene bank.

Yes, whales can fly. It's a commonly known fact.

That kerrigam picture makes me so angry. She is dressed like a Terran, I hope we are not stuck with more Terran next expansion.

LOL, yeah, looks great.

Although I saw it more as a sort of burrowed spine crawler. Wouldn't be surprised if this together with sunken colony is what inspired the spine crawler.

Too bad that would never happen It would be cool if Zerg got some cool units for the expansion, most likely will be scourge and lurker though.

Most of these were available to view on the sc2 site way back when it was still in beta. You can find and download a lot of them in high quality here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/media/artwork

New zerg unit? Looks like a lurker with a gas sac on its back.

Clearly thats a zeppolurk.
It can use its gas sack to go into a zeppelin-ish flying mode ala viking and then shoot spikes! :D

I believe it will be called the OMNOMNOMling

Most of the art posted here is known from before the release of WoL, though I guess they are done with the pre-production on HotS anyway, so there may be some concepts for units that will make their appearance in the expansion. I mean, Terran got like 20? units in SP, so Zerg will probably get similar treatment.

The secound picture looks like a giant flying fish...
I think it´s a new zerg creature and not an infested carrier.

This is a baneling, it was on in my CE artbook with other baneling sketches.




Confirmed. It was on a page with other various baneling artwork that all looked different. It's just a baneling design that they didn't choose to roll with.


... you should be ashamed. :p

Love these pics though INFESTED CARRIER HAS ARRIVED

Spending some time on the SC wiki told me that these are purifiers. They were supposed to be in SC:Ghost and were a canceled unit in SC2. Twilight Councils were supposed to be the tech building required to get them.

Would have been awesome though. Having a short range fighter directly behind the zealots, with stalkers slightly behind that. There's a lot of potential for very heavy damage gateway-only tech.

Man, if that flying orange whale is a new Z unit I will be very happy. Unless it's the devourer.

seems like it's the leviathan.

That said, I'd love it if zerg had a smaller leviathan-style air unit for normal play - an answer to cattlebruisers and carriers. (yes i know corruptors blow those up, not my point!)
