Holyknight3000
Holyknight3000, or HK is a well known Diablo 3 community wallpaper artist.
Contents
Background
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 which is currently in its third 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.
