What's the story behind them? Don't appear to be canon, so I'm just curious what the joke or meme is as I haven't been able to find it through Google.

I think I remember this being part of the pitch the artist did when the artworks were created.

Not 100% sure, though


I was wrong :D

@BMAY's creation :) He made them as a satiric response to people whining about character models early on in the game's announcement. At least that's my take on it, but I'm sure he'll get the @ and explain himself here soon.

@Teebling People will whine. It is in our nature. I'm actually quite impressed by the graphics updates and how classic it feels (servers and all - see I said we whine naturally lol). Also, have to say I'm quite impressed with this site. Cheers.

Thanks for the love everyone lol.

TL:DR they're just fun..... But for the full story;

A long time ago when the new D2R graphics were first shown some people thought they strayed too far from the earlier D2 legacy concept art. I tend to agree, but ultimately it's not a big deal. After all we barely see their faces while in-game.

However, I enjoy photoshop and making things, so I made a bunch of edits, and out of curiosity, took votes across various platforms to see what people's favorites were. This was all for fun, and most people thought they were great. A select few trolls however were soured by the fan art I suppose and replied negatively, So... I made a couple more edits to "grin in their face."
Afterwards realized I liked how they looked and thought it was pretty funny, albeit somewhat creepy. So I did it for all of them and then made this image in anticipation for release.
Finally, here we are later and @Teebling has this awesome website going. I'm contributing other stuff and thought, hey what about these? I love seeing them around and think they brighten the place up lol 😅.
So that's the whole story. But all in all, it's all just good fun.

(Un)holy necro, Batman! Man, seeing these smiling pictures remind me of when this forum was first made in anticipation of D2R and all the excited chatter about the Tech Alpha and whatnot, good times. 🥲

I like the art featured in-game (they actually look like seasoned warriors), but the rictus grin edits are definitely a fun little contribution to the fandom.

All trades are Switch only :)
