A lot of artwork has recently come out from Blizzard. Today we got a nice piece of art from Brom of a Tomb Viper. We have seen these Tomb Vipers in a few screen shots such as this one (picture right). Similar to their Diablo II predecessors Tomb Viper, these Tomb Vipers got an upgrade with their sinister looking masks and now wield dual-spiked pikes. While keeping their snake bodies, this versions is more humanistic than the ones we fought in Diablo II. Hopefully Blizzard keeps revealing more of the monsters that fill Sanctuary.
They also resemble the vipers in Diablo 1 with their plated body.
I like ^^.
After I saw that picture.
OT: Although, I still have a problem with that big blue guy and his geometry. He looks so far out of place compared to the Claw Vipers. I think it's his shoulder horns and his arms/hands. Those parts of the model just looks too simplistic in comparison to the skellies and the vipers. Also, he looks almost like he is glowing from the inside out. Perhaps a little more dynamic shadowing on him, and slightly more polygons in the arms and shoulder horns should help. The Wraith also looks like he needs a few more polygons in the hands.
Either way, I can't wait to cut those demons down to size!
I hope they keep doing this kind of stuff !
The hidden were the ones that dissolved into the shadow, with the Illusion Weaver being the most dangerous one. The yellow guy that only appeared when he attacked you.
About the new vipers, i think they should make them thicker... that way they look like creepy snakes i dont know... in d2 they were pretty awesome.
