Protoss Fan Club

Jessindar k'Shelak by ~Ziferonan on deviantART

Fanart from Zeratul (Ziferonan) for my novel-length book "42th Song Of Ascension". He's the main character.
I'm so sorry that it's impossible to translate this book into english for english-speaking Protoss fans. Uhm. I don't have enough money to hire a translator who would be skilled enough... uhm. may be I need a fundraising plan and start collecting donations? =)))

but, russian-speaking readers indeed enjoy te book. it's based on classic Starcraft 1 events.

** I'm starting the new book. Most likely. Very soon. About the Aeon of Strife and rise of Khas and his followers.
*NOT* based on Blizzard's "dark templar saga" and so *not* using their matherials about Khas' character and birth of Khala. It will be my own version. I'm only using manual+SC1+Broodwar as canon.
If anyone is interested about discussing protoss and life on Aiur in the days of Aeon of Strife... then contact me. Any help in brainstorming will be indeed appreciated.

Very nice gallery of starcraft fanart:

also, this site has fanfiction section with lots of poetry (probably worth exploring).

... if someone wants new protoss fan art appearing at DeviantArt, to be delivered in your LJ friends page - you may add to watch list this syndicated feed :)
protoss_deviant

(last updates in the feed are my own deviant submissions - it's not a promotional post, because my protoss fan art already was submitted in protoss_fandom in the past. I just was filling my deviant profile with some old pictures :) But the newsfeed was created to watch pics by other artisis.

And, by the way... this screenshot from Starcraft 2 cinematics (with comments)
http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/147758402/ -- makes me think much... how do we interprete it?
The coming of the Hybrids - or the return of the "Gods"?..
I felt a little scared by this image...

(don't know if anyone will comment? - the community was abandoned for long time.. and it makes me sad... but I believe that fandom is not dead)

upd.:
I started collecting together my favorite protoss fan art at Deviant. Enjoy everyone.

Hello all!
It's good to see a community dedicated to the Protoss, and that it's still active! I have meager pickings of art of my own finished at current, and sadly, I'm horrible at hyper linking...
Here are the direct links to some of my works, please scroll down to the Artists comments for descriptions.
Looking forward to seeing some amazing arts from everyone!

En taro Adun!

What do the Protoss eat? (Where do they get energy and mass?) (starcraftcz.com)
Protoss gain nutrition from sunlight, or at a pinch, moonlight (which is just reflected sunlight anyway) by absorbing through their skins. They can go for extended periods without absorbing sunlight. What little moisture they need is also absorbed through their skin."

So what do you think about it? Did you have your own theories about what do protoss eat? I always was sure in some kind of psi-synthesis they use (like photosynthesis, but using psi-energy). They surely gain carbon through air they breathe (CO2) and probably gain some minerals through water, but anyway there's not enough elements to build a body. May be psi-synthesis includes transmutation of elements?

Beautiful protoss fan art I've found

Today, we present to you three new fan art pieces related to Starcraft Universe.


Tired Judicator Inity and flying Zerglings, by Zera
Ehtamid and Feraidaxan story, by Zera
Sefora, the dark templar of sargas, by Zera

Starcraft Fan Art, Author - Zera:
Today we're glad to present you six new artworks by Zera, related to Starcraft Universe

Ankaya and judicator of Ara
Rite of passage for young judicator. Ankaya is young judicator of Akilae tribe, and older judicator of Ara just gave her the sekhem - judicator's staff, sign of power.

Kassandra & baby protoss
Kassandra on Shakuras, she holds Jessindar' and In-Taier's baby.

Sefora and ghost of Tassadar
Too much of "En taro Tassadar" today for young Sargas templar, Seff! 8)

Tattooed protoss
So many ritual tattoos ...

Dark Templar culture. Ornamental painting
Not a portrait, but element of Dark Templar culture - wall painting, ritual ornament.

Young Jessindar playing music on xilepher
Young shelak judicator plays ethnic music for ya. His name is written on the right side using protoss hieroglyphic language we (group of russian Aiur fans actually developed)
In fact, we, for some time already, work together on language (sendji) and hieroglyphisc. "Jessindar" actually means in Sendji language "A strong psi-dominant mind, whose eyes shine with the light of moons (two moons of Aiur)". Jessindar prefers to translate his name from one of dialects like "One who sees the moonlight in the twilight".

No need to say that Jessindar and Cassandra are central characters of my novel-length story "42nd song of Ascension", and they love one other - as only human and alien can actually love one other.

Jessindar, his son and Cassandra, by Zera

Jessindar holds his baby, hatched from In'Taier's egg, and Cassandra shows her interest in baby protoss. May be she feels sorry that she can't have baby protoss of her own 8) But she can help Jessindar in raising him.

New picture!
