When I sat down with lead “Diablo III” designer Jay Wilson last week to talk about the team’s design choices and his thoughts on fan-altered screenshots, he told me that Morrisroe was the one who spearheaded the franchise’s design changes. Specifically, I asked who we should blame for the rainbows. Wilson said:
“If you want to blame anyone for the rainbows, you’d blame our art director Brian [Morrisroe]. Because Brian is more the person who drove the art style into where it is. But it didn’t really come directly from him. What he brought to the art team was concepts and ideas — the idea of contrast, the idea of using color more, the idea of going for a more stylized look. Because what we were looking at before was more photo-realistic. Really trying to get something that looks like a painting — that was his goal. But the actual result of that came from the art team. And a lot of the environment guys, and some of the texture artists, they’ve all kind of chipped in to try and get the feel of something that was very unique.”
When I read this I thought It's good that he Quit, or as I believe got sacked and was told to say he leave on his own account. Blizzard doesn't like to show weakness, they wanna look firm in their decisions without getting swayed by the fans outcry.
Who in his right mind leaves Blizz in the middle of such major project to build his own company with the state of the market today. Couldn't he wait some more? who knows, They should interview him and not Blizz about it, maybe he'll spill the beans.
And If he leaves in the middle it's not going to help his resume :rolleyes:
Anyway ppl Ignore to what he "contribute" to the art as stated above. It can't be bad to get new perspective to stuff after all his good doings /sarcastic off
Why not elevate someone within Blizzard to the job if it's not a major role still? If the art direction is completely done with why not to...? The answer I vote for that it's not over & done with, expect some changes.

To the ones who said - what's the problem you can change it easy in the options - No, you can't fully change it there.
Most, If not all, of the edits you saw in this thread used special filters in photoshop which can't be found normally in every game options.
And If you may change the options some features will be ruined, take the fire spells/fire lamps in some of the pictures they are very blurry and not looking bright like the original.
I can only see it as perfect if they make some special feature which give us the choice to change the coloring to more Gothic like in the "gameplay" tab or something.
That's what you get when you don't have special unique team for every project in itself. *cough*BlizzardNorth*cough*

Yea. I feel we really won't get anything out of the "spoilers" on the site.
They want the real boom to come in the convention and not before.

I repost :
Hi, It's my first post here.
I've been lurking for some quite time now and didn't see the possibility mentioned that -
What if the penguin, which lives in the north, referring to blizzard north.
Which state it big - Blizzard north is not dead.
