Description This was my entry for Blizzard's Starcraft Propaganda Poster contest. Actually, it's an improved version of the one I actually submitted. Either way, didn't win. /cry

Zerg obviously. I'm a Kerrigan fan.

Knowing the calibur of talented people who usually enter Blizzard's art contests, I figured I'd have been thrilled just to make the top 10, but probably wouldn't even make that. And I didn't, so I was right, though I think I might have had a better shot if Blizzard hadn't completely screwed the voting process to favor the entrants on page 1...

Buuuuuut... Figured I might as well try, either way.

I'd like to have spent more time working on it before I submitted... tweaked a few more things... played with it a little more... maybe moved around some of those zerg in the background... but I wanted to have it submitted before midnight on the deadline, and ultimately time didn't allow for that stuff... so... meh.

I wanted to get it in because their rules said the entries are due "July 8th before 12:00 pm" which is rather unclear... since 12 can be both AM and PM at noon or midnight... technically...

Confusing.

So anyway, I figured better to cover my bases and have it in before midnight the 7th.

I'm happy with it. It didn't win, but I still like it.

Those contest voting bastards! D:

This is amazing!!! then again this just happens to be one of my favorite art styles, but still. it's hard for me to imagine post-human Kerrigan as so bright and colorful, but i like it a lot :f

And even though reading a mix of Cyrillic and Latin letters in the same word is disorienting @.@, i still find it a cute touch in these "American take on Soviet propaganda"...posters.

(btw "backwards-N" makes an "ee" sound in Russian :3)

I think I either did a search on "propaganda poster fonts" or "Russian fonts"

That was about the long and short of the whole process.

Besides, in the Starcraft universe, there is no Russia.

So awesome it hurts. One thousand points for the retro style.

And, oddly, Kerrigan makes a good blond.
