I wonder why the Kerrigan in this art is infested?

So do we think that the leaked HotS storyboard cinematics from a few years ago is the actual storyline?

*sigh*

Why does "fan art" always automatically equate to "men = guns women = bums"??!? They're freaking brutal psionic secret agents, one of whom has been infested by a race of space aliens. Can't we have more pew-pew and less cat outfits???

Give the artists some credit. Sometimes they overemphasize the chest instead of the rear!

Kerrigan vs. Zeratul is my kind of SC2 art.

Why does all the conflict in the current story revolve around TvZ? The whole hybrid story feels forced.

if the first thing that really sticks out in that pic is the asses, does that make me a perv? or does anyone else notice how much it just sticks out like that?

Lol at thoose pictures.
Notice btw, how at the top picture wich is the "normal" one there is one person whos but is shown, and off course its the only women.
Guess its just the way it is, it doesnt bother me that much

Oops first part of post fell away,

Like the artwork but i dont like the new style of drawing to much tbh.
Can see this new style also used when starting up wol in a picture of nova, have not seen this style used by sc2 before, think its a new artist.
Agree that there a bit to much emphasises on the but , but i dont care to much.

I have to say, this picture is pretty cool:

We saw glimpses of this cinematic in some of the trailers, and I'm really excited to see the full version when the game comes out. It should blow everything out of the water.

I think it seems very likely that Kerrigan gets re-zerg'd in the next game unfortunately. (I think the ending to WoL should've been the ending to SC2 entirely, sigh)

NOTE: I do not have confirmation, I have avoided spoilers but it seems kind of logical unfortunately, please don't post if you've confirmed via the dodgy leak 6 months ago.

My guess is she gets re-zerg'd shit goes down, ending of SC2 Void she's killed entirely but rescues the universe as predicted in WoL - Blizzard won't give the happy ending, they blew that wad in WoL.

I can't wait for the cinematic when the Ultra is rampaging all over the place. That unit is just so damn monstrous.

the part where the womens ass(dont know her name) in the original sticks out but is completly negligiable in the 2nd pick is hilarious.

There is no advantage I can think of to Nova jumping like a cheerleader, holding a rifle that size in one hand.

Yeah...don't know if I'm a fan of this type of art. It has that typical exaggerated western comic book feel where characters have that extreme exaggerated look and are always in the midst of of some conflict. I find that annoying.

Wish Blizzard would use more of Peter Lee (Drawgoon) for HOTS...easily their best concept artist. Example artwork: http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/gallery.php?artist=drawgoon#spryregion7 He understand subtlety and elegance.

Some of the early artwork from HOTS...I hate to say it...seems to have come from Blizzard's b-team. Wouldn't be surprised if they had their best talent work on world of pandas instead of HOTS.

Isn't it obvious? It's a joke about how women in such pictures usually have their asses showing, and how silly it'd look if the situation were reversed.

notice how the thing under kerrigan is "similar" to the nydus thing in the korhal one... in the background behind the ultra you see one.

Rofl.

I wonder why the Kerrigan in this art is infested?


Probably some skill she gets in the campain allowing her to switch to infested kerrigan at will, like the level 6 skill of the wc3 demonhunter, knowing how original blizzard usually is with these things
