So time for  a new project. I have always been a huge fan of anything  Blizzard especially Starcraft. In fact Starcraft was one of the major  influences that made me want to make video games in the first place.  When I started in college many years ago, my end goal was to work for  Blizzard and even today I still would love to work there, even though  they are a huge mega developer now.
None the less I figured it  was time that I started doing some blizzard style pieces. The reference  image is a screen shot from the the new Starcraft 2. The Nexus,  like the terran command center, is the most important building for the  faction. Its kind of like the king in chess, lose the nexus and its game  over. So I figured, since protoss was always my favorite race to play,  that it was a good piece to start with.
I plan on making 2-3  buildings, the protoss probes and the protoss carrier ship, which I will  eventually put into the unreal game engine and make a small game scene.  The idea here is not to design my own style but rather to mimic the  Blizzard style as exact as possible. Although once in the unreal engine  they may look slightly different but the goal is to make them as close  to the actual thing as possible.
At this point I am just trying to get proportions as close as possible before cutting in all the details. If anyone thinks any of it looks off at all please let point it out.
Anyway. more to come...
