This is Lt. Jones Palez,
A crew of Battlecruiser - Cerberus V. The ship was assigned to patrol the dark systems of the Koprulu Sector. We passed through ruined and dead planets, no signs of life, and no signs of enemies. We reached a reportedly unstable and shadowy planet, Nexhiuras is its name.
As we came closer, we were suddenly attacked... by Zergs. The hulls were breached by green balls released by the zerg's Mutalisks. One hit the engine room and blew half the ship, and the remains were heading down into Nexhiuras atmosphere. we fled into the escape pods, hoping to live.
I was the eleventh pod to came out from the Cerberus V, before it was completely decimated by the damages plus the burning atmosphere. We were falling down, and down, and down. The planet was dark, all I can see was fire, falling down past my pod. Then I saw the lights of my surviving comrades' pods. It shocked me as one by one of them was shot down by Mutalisks, it appears to be, the planet was infested by zergs.
I did what I can to escape the sights of those creatures. There, I was lucky I crashed, but I was unfortunate to crash at one of their Hives. I reacted quickly, took my gun and came out to escape, fortunately the crash burned the Hive's eggs and guards, giving me way.
I came out of the wrecked ship, yet I was still inside the Hive. These tentacles started to bind me, I started shooting them but they were too many. And that was it.
I woke up in the middle of a dead barren, then it came to my mind - blurry, yet horrifying images. I was contained in a pod, tentacles penetrated my skin, and these continued on what appears to be a body of a Protoss, and a zerg cerebrate controlling these long fleshes. The pain was unbearable, as if my very soul is being stretched, and my mind became dark, slowly.
And then I see images, of an alien-- no.. Protoss, a lot of them fighting against the zergs, and I'm being impaled by them, carried me. Then it became black again.
In my mind, I was, the memories I have, slowly being decimated by the cerebrate trying to control and infest me. Yet these strong feeling, someone was with me, and we were together, and we fought the cerebrate. These images I see, happened.
Now, I look at myself, changed. This new and strong body, yet grotesque, was powerful, and in my mind, the knowledge and wisdom flowing. I was turned into a Hybrid, these words keep going in my mind - "Full of form, and full of essence." I am a zerg, I am a Protoss, yet I'm still also Terran, I am still "full of heart".
I can feel the presence of the zergs coming, looking for their failed experiment. And one, gigantic ultralisk found me, this one was different, it is an imperfect hybrid, and it will try to test my mettle. I shall call it, the Tarrasque.
This is the end of the log of Lt. Jones Palez. Died at the planet of Nexhiuras, his last report, "This planet is infested."
And the one that will continue his will, will be the one they shall call... the Nameless. "Full of form, full of essence, and full of heart."
After I threw my first idea on the Concept Contest, I started looking for a new one, and Starcraft and DOTA came into my mind. Heart of Tarrasque, an item from DOTA/2, Tarrasque, was a familiar name, it was a name of an ultralisk, could be stronger than a Messersmichdt ultralisk. I didn't bother looking at google and rather searched for Ultralisk references, such as
these.
Then I have to think of the one that'll be facing the odds, I'm thinking a hybrid, but different.
I got the idea, and so I started with the first most, rough sketches.
Then gone with the colors of the backround,
Going for the Tarrasque's head, first grayscaled it.
And last WiP, going to color it, then add effects.
