The series debuted with the video game StarCraft in 1998. The series, set in the beginning of the 26th century, centers on a galactic struggle for dominance among four species-the adaptable and mobile Terrans, the ever-evolving insectoid Zerg, the powerful and enigmatic Protoss, and the godlike Xel'Naga creator race-in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector.

I’m glad we have ducks incoming.StarCraft is a military science fiction media franchise created by Chris Metzen and James Phinney and owned by Blizzard Entertainment. It is of course one of my favorite games, so I’m glad you seem to be enjoying it. It shares a bit of the somewhat cartoony style that artists like McFarlane and Joe Madureira made popular (albeit in different ways) without just looking like McFarlane hitched brain slugs up to everyone else involved. Good for him.Ĭonsidering the game came out in 2012, I feel like it’s art style and the artistic decisions made by the team hold up surprisingly well. McFarlane must’ve grown as a person since 1992. And apparently there was no bad drama (besides Curt Schilling’s bad decisions).

I see influences of his art style, but it’s not everywhere. Maybe in certain spots, but not all over the game.īut he did it. So I also expected Amalur to look like McFarlane art to a T, which I don’t think would have been a good thing. He wanted complete control over what he was doing. His ego regarding his working relationship with Marvel is well-known. When I first heard he was art director of Amalur, my initial impression was, “ there’s gonna be some serious drama.”

So I’m impressed also with legendary comic book creator Todd McFarlane apparently letting his art team have the freedom to do whatever they wanted to do on the game.
