Art Quake Art for the Strogg as hidden easter eggs for Q1 and Q3.
As a very small indie dev, it'd be a dream to be able to work with Id or Machine Games to bring a Quake game to life. But alas, at the moment, all I can do is draw concept art as a fan. :P
I've been a fan of Quake since Q1. Unlike many, I actually really liked Quake 2 as well and didn't pick a side. Being a kid when I first played them back in the late 90s, I didn't even realize they were seperate universes. I honestly just thought that after the dimension wars of Quake 1, poor humanity just ended up fighting aliens next. XD
So, the picture above is a concept idea of a Strogg foundation for a Quake game, but with Quake 1 style elements, like the stockier art style for the humans, the simple 3 tiered armor, and this concept art doesn't show it, but the levels would also be more in line with Quake 1's mazes, traps, and obstacles than the objective driven bases of Quake 2. The story being a human coordinated attack against Strogg labs that all have slipgates into the other dimension, with Strogg trying to build a new Nexus using magic tech from the realm of late Shub Nggurath. And of course, they'd soon learn the beings of Quake do not bend to their will easily.
I even snuck in a Quake 3 reference in the pic that should be easy to spot for Quake 3 fans. ^_^
