Description
Since Heart of the Swarm didn't include a high-detail overlord model, I guess I have to make my own? Right now it's just over 3000 polies.This design is very much based on SC2 concept art. The head is based on Mr. Jack's Just an Overlord , because I was actually never really a fan of the SC2 overlord's portrait head, until his painting came along and blew every previous overlord head design out of the water. The rest of the SC2 look is great, though (having the legs hang down further than the arms, and removing the trunk were both huge improvements over the SCG overlord). I may make the head smaller to make the whole thing look bigger.
The SC2 design also features a few antennae and an extra little pair of legs/tentacles between the main arms and the neck, that I'll probably add. I may also end up remaking the main arms based on my own drawings, just because the way they are now the joints are poorly-defined.
(Here's a look at how this new overlord style will be replacing my older one in the next update of the Starcraft to Scale chart.)

What a trip, the cinematic team did an overlord model actually, and your model is alarmingly similar! The overlord is never seen up close, but in the Heart of the Swarm cinematics there are Overlords, Overseers, and Corruptors sprinkled in the sky!

I'd want to see those models so badly! (I have actually tried zooming way into the background of the ending cinematic, where all the Zerg flyers are rising into the sky, but they were too small to make anything out.)
Anyway though, I'm sure the fact that I had access to this piece of concept art accounts for all the similarities, heh. But it's good to know I'm on the right track!

Good start. A suggestion though, people always underestimate the overlord's size because of the game. Maybe put something next to it for scale?

I never understood the old overlords trunk thing...it mached with how it sounded but didn't work in my eyes
and one thing I was hoping for was a mutation for the lords to allow them to use the claw as as a weapon...I know it defeats the purpose but sounds badass. but I like this model so far cant wait ta see it textured my friend!!
