thx for the kudos:-)
yeah it was actually kinda difficult finding a decent model of a stalker. there are images on the internet but none of them of the actual model that is also used in the portrait ingame so i had to improvise a bit here and there.
the portrait always kinda fascinated me. the stalker seems like such a fearful warmachine and just very intriguing considering its background as well as the fact that it is piloted by the remains of a dark templar much in the same way as the dragoon was piloted by a half-dead zealot. unlike the dragoon however you have part of the biological remains of the dark templar fitted to the outside of the cybernetic shell, ie the head, which seems to wear some sort of "tiara" on his forehead. it might look weird but this is the actual head of the protoss, what you see potruding from the surrounding collar is mostly its head, not the neck.

didnt even know this was called crosshatching^^just always did this to use shading and contrast to make it look more plastic

@funcmode

yeah i took this as sort of an "inspiration" for my stalker.
fact is its hard to find an image of a stalker that has some semblance to the ingame unit portrait.
this particular drawing you mentioned is fine but it just doest come close to the coldness of the unit, it just looks too cartoonish and less fearsome and machinelike. with the pose id agree they look very similar but then again this was the pose i imagined him to be in from the start even before i looked up this picture. so yeah i had a lot of glances at this picture but woudnt say i ripped anything off^^

hi just finished a drawing of a stalker in sc2 standing over his vanquished foe, a dreadful terran marine. i know i know, people will be scratching their head thinking how the hell a protoss t1 unit could kill a terran t1 unit but please refrain from any balance posts^^

enjoy!

I'd always thought of them as Dragoons and not as something from the Warcraft Universe, but I guess that's more how they look. Drawing is pretty cool though.

Not to take anything away from your drawing but it kind of looks like you ripped off this image;


The posture and angle are almost identical...
