And Then There Was Art- Monk Art, That Is

The last few days have seen their share of fresh concepts and livid illustrations, as well as a return to the beginning of Diablo II. Let's take a quick trip back through the week to wrap-up any artistic ends you may have missed.

Last week, Blizzard put up a note on their Twitter site to see what fans dreamed of for the unreleased female version of the DiabloWiki.com - Monk Monk (see Blizzard Launches Monk Art Challenge). It was greeted with no small response, some more serious than others (see right, by El-pistolero).

The list that Bashiok kept on the Battle.net forum board was extensive, including over thirty-five submissions:

Overall, it was a great response to a light-hearted challenge. Great work, guys and gals! Here's to hoping that we will see the true female Monk before BlizzCon 2010, after Blizzard makes a few changes seeing all this awesome work, of course.


Today, that mysterious Twitter guy showed us some shots of a face most of us can recognize. An old Diablo II boxart was shown from the olden days of yore by a fellow named Brom (see left).
