2560x1600 - 1920x1200 - 1600x1200

Greetings everyone, this week I decided to continue the locations series with The Stinging Winds. This time I chose to make sure that I had some variations in the walls like in the past; maybe subtle but still small changes. This time I found another stock texture off Deviant art again. This one was a Sandpaper Stock by Enchanted Gal. See her stock page here.

With that texture I was able to get a sandy feel to the background. I thought that adding some of the dusty scenes from in-game shots of the location itself along with the world map was a cool change. With that I will see you next week for another wallpaper.

See you next time!

It has been a few weeks hasn’t everyone. Sorry I have been away from wallpapers as much as I have. I’ve also been helping diii.net with their Diablowiki with the Fan fiction section, and life as usual pulling me away too. Well enough with my ramblings!


This wallpaper was in my mind for a few months after people weren’t so well received with the last locations wallpaper. This time I broke down my standards for this sub series and made the runes as graphical bars like I should have done in the first place. I also have changed the runes. You should notice they aren’t so bright anymore. I tried an effect with the original rebuilt fiery runes that I made back on the 4th locations wallpaper for Tristram. For me those runes look so much sharper and much less distracting.

Also as usual I added the world map in the background and no alchemy again in the background too. I also used a stock texture image from deviant art by Wojtar. See the original texture here: Paper texture 4 Please let me know what you think guys. I personally think I finally got it right for this wallpaper series.


See you next time!

long time lurker here

Not sure if this technically falls into Diablo Fan-Art, but certainly Diablo related. I'm a metalworker and armourer, and I've made numerous Greek inspired Muscle Breastplates (examples of my other pieces at flickr here ). I've always liked the Amazon's armour and I have been wanting to make a female version of the muscle breastplates, so though this piece isn't meant to be direct representation of Diablo II's amazon, it is certainly related to and inspired by D2's amazon.

When the project began, the intent was to make the piece as a wearable breastplate with the neckholes and arm holes cut similarly to my other breastplates. however, after I began the project, I really liked the challenge of sculpting the collar bones and neck, so in the end what began as a breastplate turned into pure sculpture.

The piece is life size and modeled after the proportions of a couple of well known models (a penny if you can guess which ones :P ). The material is 22 gauge mild carbon steel. That's pretty thin compared to the steel I typically use for armour. The piece was cold formed using roughly a dozen different hammers over and anvil and several other forms. The steel was annealed (softened with the appropriate temperature torch) periodically to prevent the steel from work-hardening and cracking.

Overall, I am content with my work on this piece. There are several places that I know aren't properly formed. The joint at the collarbone and shoulder muscle is kinda off, and It was difficult achieving the proper balance in the ribcage area...Too smooth and it made the torso look too muscular and masculine...too boney and the piece started to look emaciated and unhealthy. The breasts while large are (I feel, others may disagree) still within the realm of possibility (they were based on proportions of a real model afterall). One area that I'm definitely going to improve when I make the next one will be the transition from the top chest area to the neck. Right now, the chest is still very vertical and changes almost 90 degrees when it goes past the collarbone, and I think if the upper chest had sloped back more this area would be more realistic. Also, the torso ended up being very long, and though this is based off the proportions of the model I was using, the piece just looks too tall...it looks to me like there's too much space between the breasts and the collar bone...

About 20-22 hours were spent on the forming, and though I still have a few adjustments and tweaking to do...smoothing out some bumpy areas, I consider the piece mostly finished. But i'll take what i've learned from this one and try to make the next one that much better.

Hope you guys like it. Comments and criticism are welcome (though lets keep the comments mature).

One Size: 1920x1200

This is a revamp and tweak of the original 1920x1200 wallpaper. I reused the 2650x1600 wallpaper made the size back to a 2560x1600 and then scaled the image down to 1920x1200 and centered it. and then imposed the old nameplate back on top to make a better version of this wallpaper.

I revamped this when i posted it on deviant art. i saw that the errors of my wallpaper still hounded me and i was glad to see a few sizes had not shown the red line glitch.

Please enjoy.

2560x1600 - 1920x1200 - 1600x1200

Hello everyone, sorry I haven’t been active in recent weeks. Dealing with a cold, and a smashed left toe are things that tend to pull me away. I have also been trying to see if someone could help me with the Radiant Visage but to no avail. So I thought it was time to just use what I have and bring out the rune symbol in a cool way. Better this than letting a nice piece of art rot for a few more weeks.

This rune I build much like the Inner Sanctuary. I literally reused the same graphic space with the blue boxes centering the image. What I did was impose in the background, the symbol from in-game screenshots. The best I could see showing the rune at its best. Since the game is at a certain angle I had to naturally tweak the angles and do my best within a margin of error; straiten out the design so I could rebuild it.

When I rebuilt this rune I used extremely large ellipses and tried to make them match on one side so I could in essence flip one quarter of the image to the left then merge the two and mirror down. This made the image match better and look more even. I also drew an ellipse small enough for me to round out but make the center line of the eye design. With this I also flipped and mirrored the small area to give me a faint rounded slash through the eye in the middle just like the main symbol.

I hope everyone will enjoy this as much as I have making it and sorry the delays were bad; it’s been a rough few weeks for me. See you next week.
