Rob McNaughton

[s]starcraft[/s]I have been digging through Starcraft history and found this small set of jewels. It is perhaps one of the earliest images of a proto-goliath. It was made by a high school kid from Irvine, California who ended up working for Blizzard as a graphic arts designer.

He name is Rob McNaughton and you can find him in the credits of Starcraft. The art piece is dated 7.19.96!! and it's titled Rob’s Mech.
