Title: Diablo versus WoW
Name: Michael Dashow
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

I keep seeing this image popping up all overt CGSociety in banner ads for Blizzard at Siggraph, Blizzard's Art Contest, yadda yadda... So I thought I'd post the whole image for folks to see. It should go without saying that this image is copyright Blizzard Entertainment. I think one of the reasons they're having an art contest is so they can find something better with Diablo on it so they don't have to keep using this! :lol:

This was done a couple of years ago for a promotion at Blizzard. It was some sort of Diablo ladder contest where the winner would get a spot on the WoW beta test. You can find desktop versions of this picture over on Blizzard.com.

Holycow! So it was you, the talented Michael Dashow who made this incredible piece?! I've been admiring the wallpaper for almost more than 3 years and loved it so much. Not to forget even your style and works, I just love them! Yeah, it really is your style on this piece, very nice variations of colors, and well-put characters, there's just so much details on Diablo's body, fantastic work, man. I've been wondering if it was you who did the Diablo christmas wallpaper too? You know the one with Ruldoph having Diablo's soulstone on his red nose? lol. Lastly, awesome job!:thumbsup:

Sorry, I never saw your post until recently, otherwise I would have responded... Or blushed in response to your glowing praise, in actuality. :) Thanks for the kind words... Yes, I did the Diablo christmas wallpaper you're talking about, as well as just about every other Diablo christmas image from Blizzard that doesn't feature characters from any of the other games. (Samwise did the one of Diablo carolling with StarCraft characters, orcs, etc.)

Anyhow, glad you liked it, everyone, thanks for the replies!
