<div class="IPBDescription">Had a boring friday evening</div>It's nothing spectacular since well, it was originally intended to be only be a project to kill time to make me my avatar (yay I have one now) and thus the
originality isn't exactly "awesome" since I used one of the screenshots as reference. However, was nice practice and I thought I'd share it with you lot in case you want it.

For the real deal: <a href="http://triggerman.deviantart.com/art/Natural-Selection-2-Skulk-137455271" target="_blank">http://triggerman.deviantart.com/art/Natur...Skulk-137455271</a>

    What are you saying?! That's awesome! And I'm definately sure you will get great feedback from Cory! Unless he's having a bad day and sh!ts all over your painting. Great work man! Now make me a Fade avatar once they reveal the Fade! :D

    Hey, nice job with that painting. Makes a nice wallpaper and an avatar image. I like the background a lot, as well, minimal but cool looking, with the lumpy infestation and glowing orange pods. The claws on the skulk seem like they might be a bit small and thin but not a big deal.

    I love how creative this community is.

    I have this huge smile on my face right now, thanks ;)
    I'll do some more work to it later, so I appreciate the feedback.

    The background was also taken from another NS2 image I'm making but it's not near completion yet, figured it would make itself useful here :p Might come around at some point.

    Oh and to note, I've taken one year in gamedesign and now entering graphics so this site has been HUGE help to me with the game I'm developing. For starters, I wouldn't know what to do without Dropbox.
    Just to like... uhm... voice out my "keep it up" and "thank you".

    We'll see whatever happens, I'm not sure I'll be making follow-ups o_O
    This one took around 4h+ or so I think to create (not exactly good in that aspect yet >_<).
    And even then I will most likely go and study the next creature (Gorge or Lerk?) so I can pose it differently or create some other composition in the image as opposed to the Skulk; which is quite dull.

    Nice work! Impressive, I think the small niggles have been pointed out so I'll leave it at that!

    Also I love the reason that you can't draw nanites is because they're too awesome, lol.
