Comment on Artanis old school style by powerhouse-bg
As much as I do not like the first StarCraft's designs (like... any of them), this is pretty fucking epic! 
I would have settled happily for such a style in the games.

Thanks! To be honest, I would love it if they didn't change the style between the games so much, but rather only built upon it. SC1 stuff looks more massive and war-like to me.
That's true. Although I think we can agree that the Terran designs remained pretty much the same, and the zerg... well, they turned even more disgusting and therefore terrifying in my eyes.
I think what I best admire in the "new" protoss is perhaps the fact that they kick ass and be all war-like while being "faaaaaaabulous" in their designs. I don't know it, really appeals to me. 
The old protoss structures and vehicles reminded me more of Lego block buildings and crude toys, than actual works of art and purpose.

For me, I've grown up with SC1 and the things there are a bit *too* canon for me. SC2 is different and awesome in its own way, but it's lost a bit of grittiness, maybe. However, if you think about it, it represents a newer era and thus everything is less "savage" - it's like SC1 takes place during WWII, and SC2 is in the modern era.

I've never thought about it this way. It's awesome! Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for the idea!
