The pictures are super awesome and all, but in his effort of trying to inject awesomeness into the zerg I feel Mr Jack has lost track of what the zerg is. They are an alien, insectoid race. What he has drawn are hellspawned helldemons of hellfire, From Hell. They look like they could goddamn kill you, and goddamn kill you well, but they they don't really come off as hive mind insects anymore imo.

It's like someone injected tordenkakkerlakk or whatever that thing was from spiderman into the starcraft universe. Lemme see if I can find a picture... OK here we go

That's one of it's last mutations. Super awesome, but the zerg aren't evil, they are just insects.

Edit: and yes, the current Infestor model has the same problem. Stay good Blizzard, don't lose your way!

Quoted for truth.

I don't get why do people always pick a side and go with it.


MrJack's pictures are FREAKIN AWESOME, I agree, but people who think that Samwise couldn't do the same are a bit naive.
Yes, Samwise's pictures are cartoony, but they are made for the game, not for the purpose of being cool.

It's a lot easier to just tweak the concept by adding sharper objects, more layers, deeper colors and stuff.

To sum up, both artists are great.

That's some insane artwork.
I saw the zergling and went 'daaamnnn.'
I saw the drone and went 'holy crap'
I saw the hydralisk and shat my pants.

Also... comparing is stupid. Just enjoy it.

I, for one, don't like them.

They are overcomplicated and not really believable. Too many teeth, fangs, spikes and thorns in random places.

Also, as someone noted, they are too heavy-built to be fast and agile. The drone also doesn't look like a weak, almost defenseless worker unit like it should.

This.. also I think SamWise Zergling is way better.. at least for me. But really freaking awesome artwork by Mr Jack. Larvas looking naaaasty!

No you aren't free to voice your opinion when you don't understand that pictures have different purpose. And you clearly don't understand that, otherwise you wouldn't bring up these comparisons with such negative tone.


What negative tone? I said I perfer Mr Jacks zergling to samwise's. I am fascinated by biology and Mrjack's attention to anatomic detail is outstanding. You may not feel the same way and thats fine. See thats the funny thing about art. Its all in the eye of the beholder.
You also don't need to defend Blizzards art style. They have numourous blockbuster games to back up there prowess. Most posters in this thread think that blizzard's art is great, myself included. And almost everyone here agrees that MrJack has incredible talent.

Well according to SCLegacy, Blizzard actually did like his work but were unable to hire him due a lack of available positions in the art department. A shame considering he's very talented.

seriously, Samwise is at least 100 times better than this guy. After watching those guy's stuff for more than 5 min my eyes are starting to bleed. Not that he is not talented in some way but I miss the esthetic and the hole idea of art behind it. its too cartoony and too messy for me. but thats just me ofc

This is good, but I think it's a little too scary. Based on the in game artwork, this is what I envision

But I guess a 30x30 sprite or whatever size it is leaves a lot open to interpretation.

the hydralisk looks cool but it looks more like some kind of "hydralisk hero" to me... it's way too massive in my opinion.
