Background[edit | edit source]
Holyknight3000, also known as "HK" made him self known a few days after the Diablo 3 announcement on July 1st 2008 with his first wallpaper posted on Diii.net's gallery, which was a screenshot of what we now know was Diablo.
He went on to make the Fiery Runes Series wallpapers, a popular series that had four sub-series. This series didn't really take off until he spent 5 hrs making the Female Witch Doctor wall art which he only used screenshots from the WWI 2008 Concept Art Trailer.
The initiative by HK to make these wallpapers is one of the main reasons that the prominent Diablo 3 fansite Diii.net started weekly fan wallpaper reports, posted by long time community front figure Flux and called the Diablo III Weekly Wallpaper, a feature much appreciated by the fans.
On 28 May, 2009 HK was recognized for his work and help with the community and became the forum moderator for the Fan Creations Forum and on 3 June, 2009 HK took over the Fan Art Watch from Flux.
In early November of 2009 HK gave himself a second name; a title to be called by, and it was The Runeweaver. The reason behind it was since he made mostly rune based artwork over the first few years of his time making wallpapers for the community.
On November 10th 2009 with the help of Leord and Flux HK restarted the long lost The Dark Library as a watch for fan fiction. After talking about adding a section for Fan fiction in the wiki.
On April 16th 2010, HK began work on his fan class The Untainted. A class that was a combination of a healer, caster and monk style melee with a chance to briefly tank.
On February 20th 2011, HK began work on his companion fan fiction to The Dark Library world called the Chronicles of the Dark Library. A world where Curator and Head Librarian Kristof A. Williams embarks on a journey to find out what happened to his adopted father and his past. This also added greater depth to HK's fan class The Untainted.
On December 23rd 2011, HK posted an image of himself[1] on his deviantART account[2] showing himself in a rune-covered hoodie/cloak while looking over his monitor showing his symbol the fiery Kal.
On April 1st 2012, HK had posted an April Fools message about ending the first Fiery Runes Series. Though it was during April fools day; he had planned to and ended the series on March 29th 2012.
On April 2nd 2012, HK posted that he was not done with the Fiery Runes Series and announced that he was working on the sequel to the series. This new series would have new runes altogether, and the 38 Runes from Fiery Runes I had been retired.
On May 1st 2012, HK collaborated with fellow fan artist Softshack and created the first new wallpaper in the Fiery Runes II Series. This piece would feature Softshack's Caldeum fan art and would help set the stage for the Locations II sub-series' beginning.
On November 15th 2013, The second series in the fiery runes II series entitled as "Soulfyre" began. This series had the fiery runes now as smokey wispy and "souly" dark teal and grey runes. It still had the red runes for stuff from classic D3.
Works[edit | edit source]
Below are the various works, and series Holyknight3000 has posted on diii.net's D3 Wallpaper Gallery.
HK also used nameplates for most of his work up untol early 2011, and the variety of different ones has their own wiki article. He only used them for the fiery runes series after that.
