Description

Something i've wanted to draw for awhile but never got around to doing.
A suggestion from :iconregreme: finally made me get around to doing it! :D So thanks Reg!

So here's James Raynor from Starcraft, as the King of Blades.

Jim: Well, looks like i'm the Swarm now...yippee ki-yay...

No bone wings for him, went with spiky tail instead.

Warning: Tons of text. Intriguing idea, but what if Zeratul was in his place?
Perhaps manipulate the tail to work like the Collector (Mass Effect) head and/or some fan-concept art of the Primordial (Precursor)'s head.
(Collector head without eyes, add visor in place of eyes, creates biological helmet, the back of which can morph into a thicker, cape-like, tail, which could spread out like a Broodlord as wings to allow a sort of glide to help with run-jump actions).
What to use as reference. The basic shape, when closed, would look like a kite from the back (the thickest bit being the helmet start, where it links into the body). When open, it would look like the previous, but with two \ / diagonally flipped right-angle triangles, which will act as a glider.

And he should probably have his armour over most of his carapace (not including head or back, so it's a modified armor for his 'altered form').
In combat, he could probably wield a set of assault rifles and probably have a psi-blade embedded into his right gauntlet (courtesy of Zeratul, since he is the guy preparing them both for the Fallen One's return). He might also be able to cloak, via a cloaking module embedded into the same gauntlet.
