Description
This entry was inspired from the Zerg race in StarCraft. I definately enjoyed creating all the slimy organic flesh, shells, and tentacles. This piece was modelled in 3dsmax, normal maps were created from sculpting through ZBrush, textured in Photoshop and it was rendered in Maya’s Mental Ray.

The Zerg Overmind has returned, and he's ready to kick the butts of anyone at Blizzard who decided SC2 didn't need him anymore! 
Seriously, I thought this was a real resin-cast sculpture or something until I read the description and saw it was all 3D CG modeling. He really looks fantastic, and even though there were obvious zerg elements in his design, he looks like there's also a bit of Protoss in him as well--as though the zerg finally found a way to incorporate protoss genetic material into their swarm. I can easily see this fellow being used as a unique Zerg villain in StarCraft 3, like a renegade cerebrate that decided to evolve itself into that form to gain mobility and the ability to fight his enemies firsthand instead of merely sitting back and directing his troops.
That is an awesome job,
and now I wish he were an actual figure so I could save up and buy one. He'd look delightfully creepy on my desk! "Excellent work" just doesn't seem to express how I feel about that ugly son of a you-know-what. Man, I'd hate to have to fight him in a videogame, that's for sure!
