Up Close and Personal with Every Starcraft 2 Unit
When playing a real time strategy game like Starcraft 2, your vision is often that of God, looking down from on high, deciding who lives and dies from above. But what would you find if you got down among your armies and enemies?
The graphics in the game have their limits when it comes to showing the detail in the individual units in the game, but concept and fan art can show us these characters how they were meant to be seen, and how they might look if Starcraft ever moved out of the RTS genre.
I did my best to find an up close rendering of every unit from the game, but I’m missing a few even after extensive research. Feel free to help me out to find a Probe, Warp Prism, Raven, Medevac or Brood Lord. Could use a better Void Ray and Sentry as well. But I think I pretty much covered everything else well, and much thanks to all the artists behind these, who unfortunately I couldn’t always place. Check the image for their signature on many of them.
Alright, take a look at the gallery below, and pray with me we might get to see these rendered in an actual title some day.

Thanks to Mr. Jack for most of these Zerg ones.
That…is totally not an Observer. I think that’s concept art for Zeratul’s look. Other than that pretty good gallery, you can see how some of the units abilities have changed since they were announced like the Phoenix.
The Archon looks wicked!
Pretty awesome gallery, but isn’t the marauder a firebat?
I don’t think marauders have cannons on both hands 🙂
