Looks like someone is winning three Diablo shirts, xD

Nope, if one person wins 3 first place prizes, the second places of the others will get the first place prize. Only 1 first place prize per user.

ART

My Vote: Iris
This guy is fantastic. This concept is better then all official creature concept, except the Mistress of Pain. If i would creat a game i would surely call this dude...

Other nice arts: Ogre Jailer, Pelekys, Kish'va, Sonneillon, Xiansai Wraith, Gukuuji
Great job everyone ! I really loved all those arts, you guys are great!


LORE
My Vote:The Guardian
Actually the lore of the creature itself is cool, but what really caught my attention was the background... The idea of a secret archieve in hell is a EXCELENT dungeon suggestion.

Others nice lore: Kish'va
I liked the way you used many diablo's elements. Also i liked the fact that the monster had birth in a tragedy.

Skyshell
I just love this kind of weirdness ! A whole act could be builded based on this creature. Some people would complain since Diablo is a very ortodox kind of dark fantasy.

Iris
It's a very good lore, except the fact that it's completly out of place in Diablo's background. The necromantic art is mentioned w/o any refenrece to the Cult of Rathman, the whole that necromancers take and the fact that necromancy is not a corruptive dark magic like demonic magic. I'm very sure that this guy don't really know the diablo lore.
Still the lore itself is really, really good.

MECHANICS

My Vote: The Grand Vessel
I really love this kind of strategy. Run from the main vessel while trying to kill the others sounds like a very fun gameplay twist and gameplay twists is what Diablo series need most.

Other nice mechanics: Ogre Jailer
This could be a very interesting boss. But i think you should have some ways to scape from his body prision or else a fragile character would suffer to much.

Wheel of Pain
A very simple but extremely nice idea ! This kind of monster GOTTA make into the game ! It brings a huge gameplay twist.. Just imagine yourself fightning 3 or 4 of those monsters... Freaking epic idea.

Envy Demon
I really loved your zelda-like aproach. As i said before, gameplay twists is what diablo 3 need most. And i think slowdown the pace now and then with this kind of implementation would only adds another level of quality to the game.
When you said "it's not diabloish" I automatically though "Yeah.. but D3 needs ALOT of non diabloish things".

Iris
A more classical approach to a monster boss. Still i think it's very cool one: get rid of summons, run away from the corpse, etc.. Sounds like a good fight.

Why does Iris have to be naked? I can see why she failed at necromancy...

Because masses of fused demonic zombies probably don't care to dress their 'soul food,' I imagine. She's only a part of that abomination so it can use her mana, remember.

So the undead don't care to dress her? Fine. But why the lack of clothing? You see either the zombies undressed her (pervert zombies O_O) or she just likes to be that way when summoning the dead, which I find kinda weird. Maybe this was done just so the art could be more... eye catching.

Maybe the undead mass absorbs her mana through some "osmotic" process. So he needs direct contact with her skin, this is why he undressed her.

Pftt...isn't the explanation obvious?

The zombies/corpses want to fondle her. And look how happy she is. So everyone wins.

I agree with Gulliver- what a failure of a necro.

Great drawing though. :thumbsup:

what are the criteria or categories you guys, staff, will be using to evaluate the entrants work?

i hope you go for originality and mechanics more than just flashy art and 'appropriate style'

There are categories for each one, separate, Apples.

ArtofTy to get a job at Blizzard imo

So when will we know who you guys(staff) choose?

*taps on foot*

We're getting there, don't you worry :D.
edit: And where the hell have you been?! Never see you on SC anymore.

I feel like you guys must be having epic arguments about who to give prizes to.

You are getting marked down each time you post in this thread.

Sixen made that a rule- it's in the OP.

lol
