Request #1, Protoss Scout... Desc. Pic

Protoss aircraft eludes us all... since its setting involves fictional technology and what parts that are even possible even eludes understanding for most of us... perhaps these reasons have made us all the more reluctant to do any Toss vehicles, namely the aircraft. (remember the arbiter thread? It got nearly nowhere with the stasis field talk and things... but that was a spellcaster airunit with crazy technology) Even if we can get clues from the upgrade names for aircraft units, (gravitic drive, for example) who knows how it looks like?

That's where the illustrator can add his own little twist and have that fun taste of artistic liberty

Frankly, I dun really enjoy doing protoss airships (all the xenodynamic curves that require precision... ugh). I enjoy doing Zergies the most... but there hasnt been a protoss illustrator who really loves doing it (right?) until NOW.

U know who you are...

But if more than one person decides to do something, why not talk between the two or three of you and negotiate, or do 2 independent illustrations of them... the more illustrations and takes we have, the better Or you guys can negotiate to do more closeup studies on certain parts of the vehicle (like the phase disruptor cannon on the arbiter if ppl volunteer for arbiter).

But I really wanted to request one particular unit today.
The SCOUT.
Really, I have never ever seen a decent illustration of a scout. Not even the SCG renders of the scout could do any justice to these rampaging Raptors of the Protoss Fleet.

LOCUS Acknowledged.

PS: btw, I think the person on my mind who was the best fit and available for the job right now, happened to have one of the scout's quote for his signature

I'll get to work on the scout...in the mean time let us discuss the arbiter:

The stasis field: this is one of the most coolest abilities of the Arbiter ( besides the recall) . in my vision, the stasis field is this: the Judicator piloting the Arbiter concentrates on a segment of space and bends the very fabric of reality, thus the affected area is isolated from the existing fabric of space, and is immune to all sorts of contact from the outside zone the effects for this isolation are limited to a number of minutes until the warp field between the two zones becomes stable, and the fabric reunites forming the whole once more. The Judicator himself does not need to focus concentration on the area after the bending has been done, because of what i explained above

anyone who agrees raise your hand

Yar, its been so long since I've been to the Arbiter thread, I've forgotten if anyone came up with something good like that for the explanation of the arb's pwrs. The thread is here: http://z9.invisionfree.com/Starcraftopedia...hp?showtopic=67

Go and post any of your ideas in the project discussions thread!

The problem with the scout is
1. The in-game toon is too grainy to make out any detail.
2. There has been no significant use of the Scout in any cinema or Blizzard illustration.

I'm 95% sure that this picture was made by blizzard; and it matches the instruction manual render and stuff. But I think the sprite had a new model because the cockpit on the sprite seems to be farther back and the sprite has little things sticking sideways off of the nose. But still; it is a reference picture.

Ok, so how do we account for the discrepency between the two models? Is this one here an older model than the sprite? Cuz we all know the sprites were made long after the books were produced.
