So i will start to make a mod out of it. I will see if i get the time to make a terran claw icons... Sadly i'm not very good at drawing mechanic stuff at the moment, but i will give it a try.
As i seen my defiler ability icons on some of the Sc2 BW maps i was so happy that i started to remake the old metasynaptic node upgrade for it.
I messed around a lot with my infestation ability and i'm sorry that i'm not done yet but it became very difficult.
At the moment it is and ability on the infestors that can be toggled to auto-cast with and has range of 8. Only terran building with lesser then 1/3 health can be targeted (so they have to burn). After that the infestor will start to channel its ability for 5 seconds (it were 10 seconds on an earlier version but it was too difficult to infest an building before it burns down and scv can still save building by repairing them).
Anyways if the infestation has sucsess the building turn into an infested version of itself controlled by the owner of the infestor.
Actually there are 3 different kinds of infested building and more are going to follow:
Type
Units
Description
Infested Command Structures
Command Center, Orbital Command, Planetary Fortress
These big structures start to produce a varity of different infested creature strains as infested terrans (look at the infested civilians), infested marines and abberation, a true monster.
Infested Production Facilities
Barracks, Factory, Starport
These infested structures have access to civil and militar ressources and are able to spawn infested marines beside the standard infested terrans.
Infested Research Facilities
Machinering Bay, Weaponry, (Refinery)
These infested structures have corrupted everyone inside them and are able to breed big amounts of infested terrans.
Other Infested Structures
Bunker, Turrets, Supply Depots
These structure are taken over by infesting hyper virus of the zerg. There original function are mostly taken out. For example supply depots can't lower anymore. If one of those structures is destroied a small swarm on infested terran pops out.
Infested structure can only hold a limited amount of infested lifeform at a moment and to breed new unit they pay with there own health. An infested building with lesser then 1/2 life won't be able to spawn more infested lifeforms unless it is healed or regenerate it health. A infested building always starts with half of there units prebuilt. (Rounded down)

Please note that non of the infested lifeforms can be controlled by the player directly. They will just swarm around there starting building and try to kill what comes in there way. So they are pretty dump, but useful if you are able to take over one of the enemies building in an harasse. It distracts him and will deal serious damage if it is being ignored.
Sadly the auto-cast for this ability didn't works to well at the moment, but i hope i will be able to make this ability easier to use.
You can post any additional idea or comments here of cause.
Oh and i will add some screenshots soon.
If you want to be informed ievery time i got some updates, please send me a PM or just post in this thread that you want to be added to a PM list. Everytime i update i will send a PM to everyone in that list.
Oh... mmhh... yeah i'm kind a dead at the moment... i guess... there didn't seem to be much of a need for icon arts. Or people asked and then i didn't heard anything from them again. So i got bored after a while...
I'm a silent watcher, deep hidden between the shadow. If you need something tell me.
I'm not sure if i would ever have tried to do some icons for SC2 if they were higher resolution... But yeah... sometimes it's a big lose for some details.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Demonette
are you still considering requests here? Provided they're are Zerg like icons.
Is still "take" requests.
My kind of taking them is a little... different maybe as i can't promise to do them and i'm sometimes limited and time or mood.
But as long as it sounds creative and cool i will do my best =)
Thx for posting
I don't have need of any of these right now, but I felt I should say that these are some of the best looking assets I've seen. Very good job.
Hey Demonette, you still alive??? You haven't updated since May 1st?
Oh... mmhh... yeah i'm kind a dead at the moment... i guess... there didn't seem to be much of a need for icon arts. Or people asked and then i didn't heard anything from them again. So i got bored after a while...

Ditto. Very good work, it's all quite impressive.
Really nice work, I've made a usable dds file of the zerg hero frame:
http://www.sc2mapster.com/assets/zerg-hero-button-frame-border/
I see some really good work here :) Could I make a request for some .dds on a few of these?
Vulture Upgrade, Dark Swarm, Plague, Zerg Parasite, Juggernaut Plating
I'm sorry if I missed them somewhere, but I would love to use a few.
download aorta and convert them yourself :)

@currydevil: Go Sry that i didn't uploaded the dark swarm dds as well as none for plague. I will try to fix this as soon as i can.
I hope i can say that i'm back now! Here is some png progress for the zerg parasite ability. Hope someone likes it... if there is still someone here.
Cheers!
nice one! i realy like the juggernaut plate :D
@Domper: Go Wow! Didn't expected feedback that early =)
Thanks for waiting for me. Added a rouch attack icon ;)
Update:
For Vailreth (IRC)
New Plague Icon
I hope you like it!
Looks disgusting. I like it :)
@Kueken531: Go
Hehe thx XD
Here is some WIP for the Ultralisk Melee!
Seriously, the buttons you call WIP others would describe as totally awesome and much better than they need it :D
These icons make me wish SC2 could use higher quality icons and stuff
@Kueken531: Go
Yeah... i tend to almost finish them in one flow... else it happens that i don't finish them at all...
The only think missing in those WIPs is the missing glow ;)
@jaxter184: Go
I'm not sure if i would ever have tried to do some icons for SC2 if they were higher resolution... But yeah... sometimes it's a big lose for some details.
Update:
Not sure if one can see what it is...
