DaveSpectre's Assets
I do all kinds of different kitbashes and retextures.
I am currently struggling with burnout and I am learning to live in some healthy balance. That means I will not release models very often, but sometimes I will make some when I feel like it. So I guess you could consider me semi-retired ? Anyway, I am not doing any requests for the moment, until my mind is healed, which might take a long time. So please do not ask any requests of me, no exceptions (Asking for a fix if model is broken is not a problem). But I still want to do at least some models and share them with you. Hopefully you will find some of them useful :)
Stay healthy and don't forget to rest regularly ! :)
Here you can find a list of models I want to make one day (Note that there is no order to this list): Models I want to make
I would also love to continue making story maps that would include my own models (But that's probably only a dream now. I have very little time and energy for that).
And last but not least, I'd really love to do more commander concepts with videos, because people seem to love those, of course those would require additional models and lot of them. You can find the list of potential commander concepts that I currently have in mind here: List of potential Commander Concepts (on the bottom of the page).
Original credits go to Activision Blizzard and their respective authors. Most of my stuff is made from their models, textures and voicelines, which means, don't use my assets for any commercial purposes. Otherwise you are free to use my models as you want including edits. Crediting is not necessary as long as you don't claim the model as your own. For edited models, I'd like to be credited as original author.

I'm quite methodical and precise with details ecc... unlike someone else (coff coff Mass Recall with Artanis Hierarch, Vorazun instead of Raszagal, Aldaris that change portrait without reason, Primal Zergs for Garm Brood, coff coff)
So, have her with that suit don't make sense, I even write to Phill Gonzo to know if Void Rays existed during BW, to try to make something that I had in mind, but he said to me that the technology was created long after BW, so I scrapped that idea.
And Oracles and Corsairs have different pilot suits, so, is unlikely that that suit was a common suit used by pilots.
For Serdath, I had problems I admit, because in campaign they say the unit you use is a Dark Archon, and I ever found lazy call him "Dark Archon Hero", I mean... SERIOUSLY?
Zeratul: Executor, you must escort our Dark Archon Hero to the Crystals
Dark Archon Hero: But I have a name...
Zeratul: SILENCE DARK ARCHON HERO!
And I noted an interesting thing in 04a, the only "unique" units that you have are a Dark Archon, a Dark Templar and an High Templar, and in Co-Op Zeratul have a Dark Archon, a High Templar and a Void Ray (that is piloted by a Dark Templar). So, instead of using 3 heroes with the most generic name possible, we decided to use the 3 Zeratul heroes (even because I discovered Serdath in game files is called DarkArchonHero, and... yhea, don't prove so much since, how I said earlier, is the most generic name possible that you can give to a hero, but still, is interesting XD)
The only thing that I can explain this is that Serdath and others Dark Archon go in statis to not die, I suppose. In LotV we see Dark Archon be summoned, and in HotS in the Ark shuttle we see an Archon in stasis, so, that Serdath after Enslavers 2 go to statis make sense to survive. Archons can go in statis, why not even Dark Archons at this point?
But the true question is. Why Serdath have just one name? Lorewise the Archons and Dark Archons don't have 2 names?
In reply to Zarxiel93:
I get your point, but there needs to be treshold as well, when I did my own campaign I also wanted it to be precise, however when you're working work someone, you have to make a compromise. The Vorazun instead of Raszagal is a one thing, but the thing with Zoraya is something different, the face of normal Zoraya is not that different from my fem Zer'atai DT and furthermore the face of my model is made from Vorazun's head that is much more detailed than Adept one. It's a normal thing that during the development of new expansions the character changes. Look at Artanis in WoL and LOTV, same with Nova in WoL and Covert Ops respectively ... So there is really no reason why you couldn't use that portrait without changes ...
For the suit thing ... Oracles don't use any kind of special suit, they have their normal DT clothing. Corsairs wear a mask that is typical for Human fighter pilots as their Fighters usually don't have life support that generates air in their cockpit, however they make no sense at all for Protoss. That's the reason why I like this fanmade portrait much more than the original:
It has a mask too, but it looks more like armor than the breathing systems ...
Additionally based on the golden color of both portrait and unit, I guess that the corsairs are manufactured by Khalai phase smiths as well as the pilot's equipment.
So Void Ray's suit might be a suit of some Nerazim pilots or just a clothing of a certain Nerazim clan, similarly to Zer'atai having the bones, Lenassa the cloths ... That would make it more acceptable I think. I doubt that anyone playing your campaign would complain about Zoraya in Void Ray pilot armor, they are most likely to say: "Hey that's nice, she has a custom model". So I think that in this case you should listen to Defilerrulez and use it.
For the stasis, well you've got me there, that's probably possible.
About the name, well the Dark Archon Ulrezaj is named after the most powerful Dark Templar it's made of, despite being formed from 7 of them. So maybe the most powerful part makes the name ? Sounds silly, but that's one possibility. Other is that they get a new name, or that it's made up from two names, in Serdath's case something like "Seranos" and "Leradath". In SC1 there is an unused Archon hero named "Tassadar/Zeratul" meaning that maybe they are normally reffered to by their original names and Serdath may have some meaning in Khalani, like "Dark Hero" or something, receiving it after certain action. I guess Archons normally don't have names as they die quickly anyway.
In reply to DaveSpectre122:
Well, I guess you right, but I wanted to have the portrait how much possible similar to the official portrait (but as a Dark Templar XD)
I request primal skins
In reply to FreezingAcidRain:
Those already exist, don't they ?
In reply to DaveSpectre122:
your right, what I realy want is a team color primal spiked behemoth from Starcraft 2: Origins (the one that looks like a whale), a primal devourer, and mabey just primal heads attached to the certian zerg units like infestor/viper to give them that lizard feel rather than that snail/scorpion feel. but mabey just the whale cause primal lacks big air units.
In reply to FreezingAcidRain:
Well maybe some day, because right now I already have plenty of requests.
In reply to FreezingAcidRain:
I can even understand for Infestor, but Viper are Primals, the Swarm "stolen" from Primals.
In reply to Zarxiel93:
Yep
WoWowowowowowo
OwO? Really beautiful skins. :C
In reply to sirdominocz:
Thanks :)
Here is a little album of images of the Nerazim Skin set: https://imgur.com/a/ofnHB9s
If anyone is interested.
In reply to DaveSpectre122:
If I can, I suggest to give to the Stalker a new portrait, even if is only changing the light, just to give a "skin" portrait for him too, just like all the rest of the units :)
In reply to Zarxiel93:
I thought about it, but does the Purifier Disruptor have a custom portrait ? :O
In reply to DaveSpectre122:
yup

is the same image that I have in Deviantart, you even commented it when I put your Executor Golden Age
In reply to Zarxiel93:
Works now, you're right if you haven't changed it yourself xD No point in changing it on the Stalker now anyway.
In reply to DaveSpectre122:
If you don't belive me, just check the editor XD I think the wiki too show the different portraits if you want check there for be sure :)
In reply to Zarxiel93:
it doesn't matter anyway, I'm not changing that post as no one will look at it anymore xD
