I found something intresting on Mike Dashow's web site. For those who do not know Mike Dashow was one of the artists/animators for diablo 2 and now apparently is the lead artist for whatever Blizzard is currently on. anyways, he had this to say about his work on the game in devlopment... taken from www.michaeldashow.com

The end of the year is a time to reflect upon the work of the past year. From looking at this site, you would think that I've done very little. I've actually been quite busy, but the bulk of the work that I've done in the last year and a half or so has been concept fpr Blizzard. It will be a long time 'til I'm able to show much of it to anyone. And as I've been so busy with that, the cover art has fallen by the wayside some. However, it recently occurred to me that I do have a lot to show if I weren't so picky about it all being perfect before I display it. I've decided to open up a new section on this site to showcase all of the little unfinished, rough doodles and designs that I've been up to recently. As work has focussed on more realistic proportions and serious characters, my own personal work has taken on a much lighter, more cartoony tone. I hope you like the change of pace (It's been great for me!) You can see all of this new rough work on the Sketches page.
I just thought it was intresting to know that his work made him focus more on realistic work/drawings rather then a tipical cartoony feel which is what blizzard's games usually focuses on. and you should check out his sketches page its got lots of cool drawings.
