Holster that phaser/lightsaber/blunt object and grab your paintbrush. Blizzard's new Diablo 3 beta contest asks fans to show off their artistic skills for a chance to get into D3's beta. This is an obvious attempt to distract us from the fact we are now looking at a quarter 2 release (possibly quarter 3 with Blizzcon being canceled). Nonetheless, keys are up for grabs and with the current fan art in our Photo Gallery, there is no doubt TBW has a good chance of getting more members into the beta. If you do enter the contest, please post it in the Member Art section of the gallery. If you are in beta, ManOfOne has created a thread HERE where you can post and make the rest of us sad. Hopefully we can start running groups together once a few more of us get keys. Until then, good luck on your drawings.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. If so, then a brush stroke may portend the beginning of a saga; the merest scratch of a pen on parchment can be the seed of a legend. Hone your craft, for the time has come for you to take up your tools… and bring a hero to life.
If you are up to the challenge, then we invite you to join the Diablo III Portrait of a Champion Art Contest. We ask that you use your skills to immortalize a mighty champion of Sanctuary. Perhaps your original artwork will capture a monk, deep in meditation, calmly preparing to face the slavering minions of hell. You could create a thrilling piece capturing the moment a mighty wizard blasts demonic fiends into dust. Whichever of Diablo III’s mighty heroes you choose to depict, and whatever tale your art tells, let the power of your creativity guide you. We will feature the most impressive pieces on the Diablo III community site, and the very best pieces could win some equally impressive prizes.
There is no time like the present to begin forging an image that is sure to sway our hearts, but remember that any images you submit must wholly be comprised of your own, original imagery, cannot exceed a resolution of 1600 x 1200, and may be no larger in size than 5 MB. We will begin accepting contest entries soon so do not delay, for Sanctuary’s darkest hour approaches.
