Who are the Concept Artists?

[softshack]

I'm blown away by the concept art for Diablo 3 and it is starting to drive me crazy that I can't seem to figure out who has done some of the paintings.
I've been able to find portfolios of some of them, but some of the artists are still a mystery to me either because their signatures are either not included on their artwork or undecipherable.
I would love to see more of these guy's work.
Does anyone have, or know how I might find out the names of the artists producing all this artwork?
-and please don't say, "google it." I've already been down that road many times. :)
Thanks!

I'd love to help you out with finding the artist but....I'm too lazy. (at least I'm honest right? :D)

One way you can find out is by looking through all the concept arts, and looking somewhere in the picture (usually at corners) for the artist's name. The artist's name can be written lightly or small so it'll be a bit hard to see.

Probably one of these dudes.

Peter Lee, aka Dragoon (from sonsofthestorm.com) was pretty easy to find. His personal site is down right now (http://www.peterconcept.com/)

Brian Huang is another artist I've found.
Other samples of his work can be found here:

Here's some signatures from other artists I've yet to identify:

VIC JAN
example: http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2044&size=big&cat=563
TRENT
example: http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=634&cat=547
VICTOR LEE
example: http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2031&cat=564

Signatures that are a little hard to read (or understand):
Examples:

http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=2050&cat=563
(I'd love to know who this is . . .)

http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=699&cat=564
http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=698&cat=564
(which looks to be the same as this next one)

As you can see, I'm a concept art nut. :)
I've spent a lot of time already looking around for these guys.
Some of them may not even have online portfolios, but for the ones that do, I'd sure like to see more of their work.

As softshack said, peter lee is by far the most represented in the work thus far released. I'm surprised we haven't seen more work by Samwise and Chris Metzen. If you look in the D1 manual, almost every piece of concept art is by those guys, and they contributed quite a bit of early D2 stuff also.

Well, isn't that pretty much because they were the only art guys back then..?

VIC JAN

that's by victor lee. Vic is his shorter signature, and "Jan" is the date. See also:

I wondered about that, thanks. :)

Brian Huang, Chris Metzen, Peter Lee, Trent and Victor Lee.
