When we got a chance to speak with Diablo II artist Ben Boos, we also asked him to weigh in on the controversy surrounding Diablo III's art direction. Boos, who was "instrumental in setting the basic tone for many of the environments in D2," had some interesting things to say about how the Blizzard team came up with the environmental tone in D2, and how it's reflected in the third game.
Ben Boos is an artist who, in his time with Blizzard North and Flagship Studios, worked on (among other things) the legendary Diablo II. WarCry Editor John Funk chats with him about what exactly goes into creating the art for a game, his time in the industry, and his upcoming book Swords: An Artist's Devotion.
