It has been over 2 months since the 3rd anniversary of the reveal of Diablo III. During that time I have seen many wallpapers posted and fan artwork made. As well as a few stories and poetry written.
There were so many wallpaper ideas I had, but my drive was low and I decided to take a break. Now that I have that drive again I decided to start off with a better version of the Female Monk.
The first time I made the female monk wallpaper was during it's reveal. I have been wanting to do this for this piece for a while, but other ideas and just life in general kept pushing it back.
So I decided with this wallpaper to just start simple again just like with the original basis of the Fiery Runes Series was about. Yes it is a simple blank black background without anything special. Yes it is a circle of runes with something in or around them. Yes I have used this concept to the point where some think it has been over done.
But what you folks don't understand is this. This IS the way the series is. If I change the layout a little to accommodate the piece I will. There are times I love to add details that improve the piece. Look at the Bestiary sub-series in series III. This one is an example of what I mean.
There are also many versions and changes to the Locations Sub-series as well. I want the images to look just right. Not too crazy and not too hyper boring plain. If the image doesn't lose it's central focus then I have done my job.
Thank you to the fans who have followed me through these past 3 years, and to the haters; you're just gonna hate. Can't help much after that. If you like my wallpapers; awesome. If you hate them; thats fine too.
Expect my delayed 3 year anniversary for the fiery runes series next week. Thanks for reading this wall of text and I'll see you again soon!
tl;dr - Remade the monk wallpaper, talked about the wallpaper series, thank you to the fans and haters gonna hate. See you next week!
