Pictures are broken. I guess SC2Pod doesn't allow hotlinking, so please post some links...

I really like the new spawning pool. A lot darker and more intimidating.

Sorry for the broken pics, fixed now.

Queen looks a lot better too. I hope they do this for all of them. =3

All Zerg units&strucs using the new oily, slippy skins are wayy better and imo the best that could be done about them. Gr8 job by Blizzard there.

Not sure how much I like the orange, but I love the way the Zerg units are looking. Protoss still look gay though @_@

I now see what the queen really looks like. On BW since it was a small shrinked model, i could see a fat flying pig, i didn't see where the head eyes was, it was like a flying blob.

This Queen isn't supposed to be like the one from SC 1. So the Queen in SC 1 does not look like this.

Im happy about the new darker zerg, earlier they looked like a race of mutant shrimp.

I really got mixed feelings.
For one, the new spawning pool is really meh. Modelwise, the old one kicks the new one any day, especially when it comes to the zergy feel. I mean, really, modelwise the new one looks more cartoonish. Look at the damn horns/teeth/whatever it is!

Texturewise, the new texture is of better image quality, but of less overall quality IMO. Its quality is better because it obviously is much more refined. But goddamnit, it's purple! Red is waaaay better for zergs. Also recall how all zergs in SC1 looked really red?

Modelwise, the old spawning pool owns, texturewise, the new one is only better because it's more refined. I'm not really happy.

The queen:
Modelwise, I again feel really strange. What's up with the horns again? I mean, they grow at the weirdest spots and I really think it sucks. Get rid of the horns please.

Texturewise, the purple again. Oh, and the egg sacks look pretty bad. They look way too flat, not 3D enough. Other than that it looks more refined, but again: the basic idea of the texture hasn't improved (at the contrary), only the image quality.
