In honor of the Star Craft 2 announcment. This is a recreation of a Mutalisk, a flying Zerg unit in Star Craft. Thanks to Blizzard for the inspiration.
This is just a work in progress, I still have alot to do on it! Any advise would be great. Thanks!
Wings, and bottom were made in Maya using Nurbs.
UPDATE
Added horns to the bottom, added the 2nd wing.
Future Plans - Teeth, Eyes, fixing up the wings, ribs, details with projection master, color map, etc…
Also, how do you make it so these images appear on the recently uploaded thumbnails at the top of the fourms? I’m a newbie to fourms…
A small update, I know I’m taking forever on this…any feedback would be much appreciated!
For those unfamiliar with StarCraft, I based the mutalisk on these images…

To get on that second row of images:
Upload and attach your image via the buttons below the editor’s textbox. If your image is hosted offsite, it gets skipped over.
To get on the top row of images:
Practice, practice, practice.
Ok, I’m soooo sick of working on this thing. I’ve had “writers block” for the longest time on it not knowing what I wanted exactly. I would change something on it, and play it with, then suddenly decide I hated it and reloaded the model. Anyone ever go through that?
I worked on it a bit tonight, test some color concepts out, and some different featueres. But I’ve lost the will to continue work on it. So here is my mutalisk in one of its final states (hopefully not its final)…
It still needs color, teeth, a few other fixes but whatever!!! I’m done for now, time for a new model!!!
I know it doesnt look that great, but I’m pretty new to all this. Self taught and this is my 3rd or 4th model I’ve ever made. Started learning on Maya and then ended up in Zbrush. I find that I can always come up with concepts for the basic parts of the mesh. But when it gets down to the fine details I start to struggle and get “writers block”. Any suggestions?
Space Used: 35.0 KBGreat stuff, I like where this is going.
Blizzard owns and so do you for making models based on their stuff.
(I’m currectly working on one myself, a Fungal Giant from Burning Crusade)
Hah thanks!
Fungal Giant is a great idea! I was going to model one!!! Good luck on it, I want to see your progress!
