Description
I never really liked the reimagined Zerg Lurker as it appeared in StarCraft II. I took elements from the original design, the SCII iteration, the modern Hydralisk and Anub'Arak's Lurker skin from Heroes of the Storm, and assimilated them together. I also incorporated some elements from the Lurker Den to round it out.I much prefer this version to the Lurker's modern design.
Maybe I'll finish it one day.

Awesome job! That is a really really cool head carapace design.

Thanks!
The SC Field Manual seems to imply the Lurker's spines erupt from beneath or from within the headpiece, so I added some spines directly beneath it.
As for the head proper, I've always been a fan of the Xenomorph Queen design, who possesses a large crown and a distinct head segment. From studies I've done on the range of motion of a Hydralisk's head, I've determined there's probably a similar layout beneath a semi-flexible carapace, and tried to capture that underlying structure here. This layout is somewhat reinforced by the Lurker's remastered portrait, where there is a distinct line along the coronal plane between its head and carapace plate, located just posterior to the sagittal spines.
