hey guys, wanted to get in on this with ya! I created a unique weapon set to go with my character class, though I suppose to round out the gameplay mechanics it could be applied to at least one other character class. Anyways, its basically a flail like weapon, a more lethal hook shot from Legend of Zelda or something like Ivy's weapon if you are familiar with Soul Caliber (the chick with the huge gazongas). Kind of a small blade on a chain, mid range/multiple enemy strike capability. I've got a little sketch of it going through a Khazra. Went off of the concept art, I don't really dig the in game render from D3 so much
Flail!
But yeah, that's the weapon class. more on my character in a bit.
Uh, can we do more than one drawing of a single class idea? Does the character have to be in a setting, or can we do a turn-around of a character (show from all different angles) in addition to a piece like your example?
I would hope we can do a sort of portfolio on our single character. I think they want a single character drawing (w/setting?) as the full entry, but extra informative drawings probably couldn't hurt. I dont know actually, I'm just postulating

Read the rules. They really do cover everything.

I did read the rules, thoroughly. Didn't think they really covered it.
The things you mentioned would not really be "dont do's"
Of course you can submit more than 1 image of your character. You can even submit different characters.
If the setting wasn't mentioned in the rules why would there be a secret rule that they wanted you to break?
In other words, if they didn't say you couldn't do it it probably means you can do it.

I finished my first piece to be submitted for this contest, The Binder, as I started as a post in this thread here, or if you only wish to see the completed concept here.
I may write out a skill tree or lore for the class if I have time... or make some doodles for another:P
Long before the advent of the Three Brothers, Xian, Lord of Dreams and Desire, reigned uncontested within the Burning Nightmare. But, with long millineums, new gods would arise, and ursup his realm with their combined might. Banished now, in a plane far removed from the Heavens and Sanctuary, he bides his time, bestowing his blessings upon a select few champions, for when the time of reckoning comes, they shall ride forth into the world and shatter the walls of his prison. And upon that day, he shall reclaim that which was once his.
A brand new and innovative class, that goes beyond retreading the same-old same-old, we are proud to announce....
The Crazy Cat Lady
Also: The Crazy Cat Man (Not pictured)
The Crazy Cat Lady is a master of Cat Archery - the art of archery with cats. Instead of flinging rather benign arrows at her prey, The Crazy Cat Lady uses vicious crazed wild animals as her ammunition. At the beginning of her training, she is only adept at tossing small fluffy kittens. However, with experience her strength and technique will improve, and she will attain the power to throw full sized house cats, super-fat Garfield-sized cats, bobcats, and, when she finally attains demi-god levels of power, full-grown tigers and lions.
Skill Trees
Cat Archery
The most prized class of skills of any Crazy Cat Lady.
Shaken Kitty - The Crazy Cat Lady vigorously shakes her weapon, causing it to pee and or vomit on contact with its target, causing small additional splash damage.
Tornado Kitty - Throw a cat in a vicious, incredibly fast spiral, that hits a large swath of monsters with its dangling, flailing claws.
Cat Mysticism
The spirtual path of The Crazy Cat Lady, which uses her living weapons as a conduit to access the dark powers of Dark Lord Xian.
Cat of Doom - The Crazy Cat Lady uses a Cursed Black Cat, harbinger of the death of all living things, to fire dark bolts of accursed lightning.
Happy Tabby - The Crazy Cat Lady uses a Happy (albeit mildly abused) Tabby to radiate feelings of bliss to her foes, lowering their defenses.
Catfu
In the most desperate of times, not even an unending hail of cats can be assured of destroying all enemies before they come within melee range. It is for these dire emergencies, that many a Crazy Cat Lady (or Man) feels compelled to train in hand to cat combat.
Blessed Claws - Harden your cat's claws so that they do more damage when impacting a foe.
Cat Cough - Have one of your sick cats cough on a foe, giving them a nasty respiratory infection.
Hey guys, I just moved those questions you had to the questions thread. That way its easier for others to see all the questions asked without having to find them amongst the entries.
Hi. a made a thread to show my fan art i made. i was running cows looking for socketed items.... and then became bored and started reading my diablo books. then i got bored of that and remembered nephilim from
the the sin wars. in the sin wars it said rathma looked like a perfect being. looking too perfect almost as if skulpted. well my intention was not to make rathma but a nephilim. so maybe suvivors may have survived as he did and come back to d3? well here it is.
i make a new 1 because it said they needed to be posted seprately... so hereAnd here is my other. i just made this. i think they should still have an type of protect the balance necro feel. but as they said the only character theyre bringing back would be the barbarian. but this is my other one. ladies and gentlmen i present to you the NazGoul. Discarded from hells ranks by Azmodan and then banished by Diablo after a retaliation the Nazgoul were found by Trang'Oul. they were taught the teaching of the rathma and now serve to protect the balance
Damn, it's gonna be hard meeting that deadline. Mine is taking FOREVER!
Know that it will be dope. Probably won't submit it until about the last day lol

I decided to take do a creative reimagining of scarcoke's Nomad class he posted. I think the idea is original for this contest while fitting very well into the lore of the games. I will post the work in progress as I did with the Binder, my first entry earlier in this thread.
Right now I only have the pencils scanned and I'm doing some tablet work to get the lines clean. Expect the updates over the next several days.
I hope you like it scarcoke.
Thanks!

edit 1 : added line art
edit 2 : added fleshtones
edit 3: finished art and put picture in post
Its is a rumored that the powdered knights were once a small civilization of Miners who in their digging discovered the recipe for Ignition powder, it was through this discovery that some terrible,tragic secret occured known only to them.
Now they walk the earth with the secret of the ignition powder trying to make up for their past mistakes by doing good where ever they are able.
starting with only a pistol then gaining two and eventually ending with a shot gun for short range attacks
with limited shots before reload. The Powder knights are also able to use their weapons for melee utilizing a special martial created by them. (fairly weak compared to others melee attacks)
For ranged attacks the Powder knights use their rifles and various ammos, the rifles never use more than 3 shots before a reload.
shots for the rifle include enchanted ammos for sniping, a mortar shot for attacking a group and a healing shot.
"Sure bullets arent so great against armor, but when you can put one through the eye hole of a knights helm, whats it matter?"
Flail!

I thought it would be a good class since they alrealy have an encampment.
