Unlock 90% – Class Wallpapers

Posted 5 May 2012 by Rushster

We have finally hit to 90% unlock and Yay we got wallpaper, featuring original artwork by DiabloWikiBrom. Thats right folks only 10% more until the Diablo III: Wrath video.

90% — Class Wallpapers
Congratulations! Your actions yield for you new treasures of true artistry. Choose any of the desktop wallpapers here to champion your favorite hero.

Head on over to the Reveal Page for the wallpapers in a wide variety of sizes and dimensions.

Bashiok replied to a fan asking about the Brom art a few days ago, as it’s been featured on the reveal pages for the past month.

His stuff is decidedly not “Blizzard art”, which is what makes it so great to me (aside from him just being an incredible artist). I always think it’s intensely awesome to see characters rendered through a different artist’s lens, and not only appreciate their unique take on something, but broaden my own imagination of what these characters or locations could be. We can sometimes get caught up in the thought that these worlds are complete and realized realities with little variation, but they’re really interpretations on a theme. Diablo III speaks to that more than anything else we’ve done I think, as it’s very clearly and intentionally a moving painting in its aesthetic. It isn’t intended to be a literal 1:1 explanation of Sanctuary. In any case, exploring the types of interpretations artists make, like Brom, is wildly enjoyable for me.

Plus he did the original Diablo II box art, so it’s kind of a homecoming of sorts. Which makes me tear up a little.

  • They all suck, if you ask me. Was expecting much better art.
     

  • Meh. Where are the opposite gender counterparts and the 2560×1600 resolutions ones?

  • hmm not really a fan of any of these wallpapers.

  • wallpapers?! for the 90% unlock?! This should have been for the 10-20% unlock or not at all. lol

  • This looks like fan-art and not something the artists at Blizzard would make….

  • not so good.

  • Lol, do they still want us to believe these unlocks depend on us liking their facebook page and what not? Because 2 PM my time, the % was 86%, now it’s nearly 5 30 PM and it’s 90%.
     
    You’re not fooling anybody Blizzard, except retarded people.

    • Of course it’s not :) Wanna bet 100% will appear on Tuesday, exactly one week before the release? :D

    • No dude, Blizzard PR and web team are so talented they were able to accuratly predict the flow of likes, shares etc over the internet and make a formula so that everything will unlock exactly 1 week before release and every items at almost equal intervals. Geniuses.

  • lol at the slanted eyes of the wizard…Asians do not have slanted eyes!

  • They chose the worst artwork out there, didn’t they?

  • funny how the one time that a real fantasy artist does illustrations for diablo 3, nobody likes it. ****ing n00bs.

    • f…g noob who made it! This artist need learn to art.

      • Say what you will about these wallpapers – you’re entitled to your opinion on them, and taste in art is somewhat subjective – but to call Brom a “noob” makes you come across as fairly ignorant (even if you were just trying to mock Nauthiz).

    • What is a “real fantasy artist”?

      • Someone who professionally does classical fantasy artwork (classical painting / sketching training, rendering in distinct fantasy style, stuff you see in old Conan comics / DnD cards). Most modern video game industry artists never get that kind of experience and in turn have much more stylized rendering and affinity toward digital art as opposed to paint on a canvas.
