Okay, so this is not a drawing of mine, not not not - original drawing/lineart belongs to :iconwslafleur: who said I could colour this. So that's what I did to it. See the original piece here: [link]

It's been a while since I used photoshop. I've forgotten a lot, but if felt good to get back into it... And, as always, it took forever.

In addition to the lineart not being mine, the background is actually an official piece of Blizzard Starcraft art, it's the background to the Zerg victory screen, but edited by me to get the other hydralisk out of the way.

Anyway, yeah, I've never been all that good at colouring things, but this turned out... Decently. Not well, but decently. Lemme know what you thinketh.

Is that the colour it is normally?
I am impressed, you should colour more. I guess the only thing is I think the edges should be blended in a bit more.
I like how you shaded the pointy things :) Not those pointy things, the pointy things on the bottom of the thingy. See them? Yup, those.

These are official pictures of the hydralisk from SC2:

So no, it's usually entirely dark and brown, with a tad of purple for the muscles. I decided to play around with that a little bit, though.

And hmm, how do you mean 'blended in a bit more'? Do you mean that I should make it a part of the background? Cause I purposefully didn't do that, hehe

And thank you, those pointy things were fun to shade. Then again, so were those pointy things...

Ugly beasties, ain't they? They are not very colourful, I can see why you changed it some.

I just meant the picsal... picksul, no, that's not right, picsel? Arg >_< I CAN'T SPELL. WHATEVER THAT WORD IS, around the edge at the top of the hydralisk, where it's not very smooth around the edge.

Pixel. And yeah, that was smooth and then I changed it and it got less-smooth-ful, but I didn't bother about changing it back, hehe

They're pretty awesomeful beasties, though, and really effective in-game O_o
