Tried something new- instead of standard and prevalent photoshopping images, I tried to do it by hand with acrylic paints. Now, I'm not really a painter or much of an artist, but this was my shot:
The real problem with the scan is the bottom-right corner, which got blurred for some stupid reason- the real picture doesn't have that.
Anyway, basically the Tree of Inifuss is in the center (where you find the Scroll of Inifuss, which you use to open the gate to Tristram in Act I), with the Dark Woods to the left and the Black Marsh (which is right next to the Dark Woods) to the right. I tried to do the Tower, as well, but it turned out a wee bit too bright for my taste. The clouds also didn't really turn out as I had hoped. I also made the Tower skinnier than it is in the game because, in my opinion, the in-game version is too large and squat to be a tower.
Anyway, here is what the Tree looks like in-game, if you want a reference:
I added the hole in the Tree just because I have no idea where else the Scroll would come out of. Anyway, there it is, then. Took about a month of on-and-off work, lol.
As the shadow once again crawls across our world...
...the stench of terror drifts on a bitter wind,
The people pray for strength and guidance ..
they should pray for the mercy of a swift death
for I have seen what the darkness hides.
Isn't that tree suppose to be dead. Should be easy for something dead to escape corruption.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
That is complete crap, ugliest thing I have ever seen. You should be ashamed of yourself. Go throw away all your paint and jump in a deep lake you pissant.
Nah, seriously though, fuckin' damn nice work there. Wish I could paint like that.
its cool dude! you should practice more, with practice you could make it a whole lot better, and by that im not saying its not cool, its awesome

"You have already grasped that Sisyphus is the absurd hero. He is, as much through his passions as through his torture. His scorn of the gods, his hatred of death, and his passion for life won him that unspeakable penalty in which the whole being is exerted toward accomplishing nothing. This is the price that must be paid for the passions of this earth. Nothing is told us about Sisyphus in the underworld. Myths are made for the imagination to breathe life into them."
ggr i cant load the image atm for some reason! i must see it after all these rave reviews!

I got three professionally weathered boards to paint on.
I'm going to do the Diablo III logo in three parts.
I might put the final product up in my living room over the fireplace.. I've been wanting something to go there for a while now... and I think that'd work.
I'm no "MAGISTRATE", but I'll give it a shot. lol

Ah, thats awesome! Very nice job with the tree and the shading and whatnot.
How is it that this tree has escaped corruption?

I guess if death can die.. then death can be corrupted as well.
And I think that could be a possibility with the Trees coming to life in this game. o.0

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
Hah it finally loaded. That is awesome Magistrate, especially for a first time user of acrylic paint. Your perception of shading in the color and how well you plent them is exceptional. cool stuff man
