A bunch of art from the Diablo 2 character artists

Couldn’t believe they were actually about to do a Druid Bird Form with real flying lol. That would have been something if it was fast enough to compete with teleport.

On the whole, I would really liked to have seen what the original team could have done with the higher res and computing power of today’s hardware.

There’s a cup art menu selection at the top. The cups sell for quite a bit if you’re lucky enough to have an original and he was in an Ad campaign by Sharpie:

It always amazes me how many people put forth their artistic vision and talent in one project.

I never would have guessed that many inputs gave us the atmosphere of Diablo.

Nice work. I seen these on their twitter though. They also posted some original CGI model animation, like of the Werewolf or the Tainted.

While those guys were doing Diablo 2, Victor Lee was
apparently doing Throne of Darkness (before joining Blizzard):

Keep them coming.

I read in the forum level description that you can create a wiki posts.
Maybe that would be a better suited format for your content posts.

Or am i expecting too much from such a “wiki”?

The Wiki feature is pretty awesome. The down side is that updating a wiki here does not bump the thread. So it is best suited to guides that have been pinned to the top of the forum list.

Somebody pin it then. There is more than enough space for pinned threads in this sub forum.

I vote Ay for pinning this thread.

Fun fact: That sketching of Cthulhu looming towards the lighthouse may have you spooked, but just remember, he’s still an hour’s walk away.
