In the spirit of the first wallpaper of 2014: A Request I thought it would look good for the mobile. The nameplate I thought about alternated colors but just went with the grayed out nameplate for less distraction.

Hope you guys like, and I think it compliments Wei's Barbarian Art in the middle.

See you all for the next desktop wallpaper later in the week.

Greetings all this is my latest wallpaper to celebrate Diablo 3's 2nd anniversary. On May 15th 2012 this game came out, bugs, issues and drama later and an expansion to save the game; here we stand on the second year. Here's to that possible 2nd expansion in the near future.

What can I say though about the wallpaper. I was starting to use last years style wallpaper and tweak it for this years, and brought over the nice lighting effect I used for the No one Can Stop Death wallpaper for RoS's release day. So I reused that and grabbed some other elements and had some fun. The artwork used is by the artist Phroilan Gardner. With his piece I wanted to give the effect that Malthael was walking through the rune-circle like it was a portal or of similar effect. So I had the scythe on the right side overlay to help with that effect. I hope you guys like and I decided to keep the logo off this time and just use the circle to add the text and my name.

Thanks for reading and happy 2nd Anniversary Diablo III Team & Community. Here's to many more.

This week I thought it was nice to go back to some concept art by Victor Lee. I made this piece early on but saved it for later as at the time it just didn't seem like it would work as a wallpaper. But! when you leave things be for a time you don't think about it too much and the piece just looks good all over again. So with that I wanted to give Vic's piece some justice and here it is. Sadly the right side of the concept art is cut off but its just a structure on the side.

Lastly I wanted to let you all know that I will be posting wallpapers that will be revealing the plot of Reaper of Souls. I think it has been long enough and I was also using reddits spoiler tag timer as a benchmark for that. So next week The Acts V Part II will start off with the opening cinematic for the crusader and then the quests after that and then to finish off the series the ending cinematic. In sheer volume of wallpaper count The Acts Series rivals the fiery runes series as my biggest continuing series over these past 6 years with 105 wallpapers in total. (Fiery Runes 1, 2, iPhone, Mobile & the Extras Series all combined to 135 wallpapers.)

Alright friends that is all and I will see you all next week.

(PS: I have updated my gallery menu and added the acts series to that menu and also made the menu more updated and less plain white text. Hopefully not to hard to read for any colorblind fans.)

Hello all,

This wallpaper was delayed by a day but here it is. The Wallpaper celebrating the release of the expansion Reaper of Souls! I thought of one way to have this wallpaper come about and that was similar in style to this wallpaper. But with the style of how I had the effect of the des systema used in The Act's V series at the bottom. I hope you guys like, and are enjoying the expansion so far. I'm just now entering the past the midway point of the act so far. (won't say for spoiler sake)

With that let me know what you think of this wallpaper and I will see you next week.

Greetings all,

With the public reveal of the blood marsh i thought it was time to make a locations wallpaper using some of the new artwork. I used one specifically for the desktop and also for the mobile. I hope you guys like and I will be posting more of the acts 5, later next week.

Lol i realized i skipped over that, but that's what the extra wallpapers for this series are going to be for. I have a few scenes i wanted to post but didn't want to over abundant a particular scene too many times.

Greetings all,

This was a sudden and unexpected as many thought the beta would last a little longer. So i threw together a wallpaper to commemorate the beta, This beta was just a blast I spent over 100 hrs on it mostly on the crusader. The bias on the wallpaper was clear here sorry lol. That was my crusader's look at the end of the beta.

I hope you all like, and that is a hell bovine "Lord of Bells" that i got as a rift guardian once, and only once. I couldn't resist adding him there. But with this we the beta a fond farewell as we wait for the expansion to come out in one months time.

See you guys a little later in the week for more wallpaper art.

PS: The original D3 Beta wallpaper can be seen here if anyone wants to see it. Nothing special but still commemorative of the old beta.

Quote from Jamoose

Long time no see HK. Good to see you back and posting quality wallpapers as always.

thanks Jamoose,

I have posted many wallpapers elsewhere but time and a few years I was so far behind in content repostings that I just couldn't keep up until recently.

And because of that I also came to a realization there weren't as many fans sites as there were back when i posted on like 7 website forums. Now im just posting them on diablo.incgamers here on dfans, d3.com, and finally started to use twitter and reddit. I tried to do facebook but I just didn't want to really try there as much.

As always I'll keep making wallpapers if there is enough content. And even then I'll just draw something as well. I've done it in the past for the monk's runes and tyrael twice.

Check back weekly, that is my plan on average to keep making and posting wallpapers every friday unless I either cant get on the web, or trying to take a break due to burnout. I've planned a little better ahead this time. Maybe now I'll always have a steady wallpaper influx unless like my Soulfyre Kal; that which was created on the spot a few days after the previous wallpaper was posted. Inspiration, and drive can do that for some. I'm also glad to finally have the mobile wallpapers again. Ive thought about making that return when the first Fiery Runes II Series started but time and things got away. So its now in soulfyre. I'm rambling on sorry.

See you guys next friday with I believe I will have two wallpapers and a mobile posted. Can't guarantee it but something will be posted as usual.

Greetings all I have a special start to the sequel to the fiery runes series today. With permission and help from a fellow fan artist; Softshack. We have the final version of the first locations wallpaper. This is the original file as it is intended. It;s not blown up.

With diablo coming exactly two weeks from today I thought it was a great time to reboot the wallpaper series as a whole. I hope you like the outcome as we trudge on into the future.

Just to add that the runes are all new and all built from scratch. I used artwork from the book of cain pages: 8, 39, and 69. As well as the now over D3 Beta, and blizzard's final incarnation of the runes (Which incidentally are fiery in the game).

I hope you all enjoy this wallpaper, and thanks so much to Softshack for helping make this starting wallpaper a reality. I couldn't have done it without him.

Now that I am done here's some comments from Softshack himself:

-----------------------------------

"It's been a long wait since the announcement of DIII back in 2008. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I first read that announcement. Since that time, it has inspired me to create many fan creations -many more than I would have expected!

One of my very first fan creations actually led me to become a part of diablo.incgamers. Since that time, it's been great to follow this site and enjoy the pretty much daily updates on Diablo-related subjects. Thanks everyone, for making this site what it is. I look forward to the 15th!"

See you all soon for the next wallpaper!

Are you trying to suggest that Diablo 3 should take the form of that game they used to have at the video arcade where you beat those groundhogs on the head with a paddle as they poke out of their holes??? BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No just kidding, that's a pretty choice graphic you made there!!!

That one is awesome! New background indeed.

BA! That is officially my background!

That is NICE!
Great job!!!
