So I've been meaning to make fan art of diablo as depicted in d3. but i'm stumped as to how to make his body look.
simply placing his head over the diablo 2's body would just look silly.
so i was wondering how you guys envisioned the rest of his body to look like.
i take it it will have a more humanoid shape as opposed to the dragon/dinosaur shape we see in diablo2.
it'll probably resemble diablo 1's body more.
ya i've been wondering if he'd be on all fours or bypedal...
but I find his head would look awkward on a cerebus like body.
i know at times we see diablo 2's diablo on all fours (especially when he moves/chases you).. but for the most part... like in diablo 1 he's standing up on his hind legs.
thats kind of like how i pictured him too. but like you said not as scrawny.
all i know is .. rewatching the teaser and replaying the scene where he yells... i'm amazed at how well they made him look. Whatever look they were going for.. they really pull it off. i'm really curious to see how they'll the rest of him will come together.
edit: And in regards to the unfinished 3D model's look I have a feeling that was a conceptual body or very unfinished in terms of being beefed up. Blizzard never showcases things they don't want folks to see so I was really confused as to why they showed that off on the Blizzcon livestream. /shrug. Time will tell how similar the final product is.
wow thanks.
and yuck! he looks anorexic. i like the concept art but not the 3d rendition.
looks as if he has mephisto's body.
Yeah it certainly isn't a finalized model. Even the details are on like half of it where the rest is still smooth and such. The thing that does hold over though from the Model to the large illustration on the Blizzcast 16 intro is his top arms and their extensions on the top. You can see them starting to branch off in the image just before the screen cuts them off.
edit: I have even tweeted the model pic to @Diablo but of course didn't get a reply. I wonder if that little shot of the model wasn't really something they want to elaborate on as it seemingly gives away major plot points if talked about. The sooner this game is out the sooner we can all be sane human being again. lol

Definitely female though, just look at the hips for instance. I don't think this can be Diablo. He has been this bad ass "male" demon in all previous games. Makes me wonder who it actually is then....

It's Diablo. Confirmed on numerous occasions. Besides, that's generic pose we see in those pics, we don't know his posture and how he moves and everything else.
I haven't seen any confirmations that that is actually Diablo. Everyone suggests it though. Might be wrong

I refuse to believe that's Diablo himself! I'm going with it's his wife or daughter! Yep, mhmm...makes the most sense despite any lore. *goes back to his happy place*

Don't see why Blizzard would have anyone BUT Big D as their poster-boy for the Diablo franchise. Would they really show some random demon as the face of Diablo 3? Wouldn't make sense, and it's been confirmed by Jay Wilson that Diablo is in the game. So if he's in game then why would anyone else represent Diablo 3 other than him(Baal was an exception from LOD since Diablo was "dead")
Edit: For the OP, I think you should build on what they have as the render and add on to the art. Example: adding more spikes, putting some scales to beef Diablo's look up, make him stand in a pose similar to what he would look like in D2(1 hand on the ground ready to do his charge slash thingy or readying his lightning hose would be sick-looking with the new model)

No, that is Diablo, however not a finished model as you can see.
They build it up slowly so there are chanses we see a big ass Diablo in the endgame. These pictures are so old that I have thought over it a long time and Im positive Diablo will kick-ass once again. Taking over a female-human might be the case perhaps in D3...
Theory:
It can altso be a Diablo form before he shapes to the ultimate body, like being a spirituel demon when possessing the final body etc etc.
After I saw the video from the Blizzcon 09 stream with the unfinished, highly feminine model I wondered if he takes over the body of Leah. Crazy speculation is fun. We don't have much else to do.

This is exactly what I was thinking. She was in the cathedral when the "harbringer" fell into it. It would make since that if that awoke diablo in the same way he was in diablo 1 that she would be corrupted.
That is a pathetic diablo body =/ sorry, I dont know if I can take that seriously, do I kill it? or ask it out on a date -.- and maybe feed it something to eat.

It needs to be beefier I think ( but not chubby )
haha. i agree. I really hope that whoever came up with that concept crunched it up into a paper ball and threw it into a waste basket along with all the other bad ideas that will never see the day of light.

put a paper bag over the head and i'd hit that.

i'm uploading a slow motion video of diablo 3's cinematic teaser scene so we can get a good look at him.
