Greetings friends and followers.

I couldn't help it but be disappointing after DA revealed the top 20 entries in the Diablo 3:Reaper of Souls contest, well no not because I wasn't among them :P  but disappointed with the illustrations they chose to be in the top 20. (link to the semi-final: moonbeam13.deviantart.com/jour… )
I have been viewing all the entries till the closing day and I made a list of whom I think should've been in the short list. now you may disagree with me but I would still like to read your thoughts on the list I will provide and the list DA presented, quality, ideas and technicality. so lets start: (entries are not placed in order)

1- 0bo.deviantart.com/art/Monk-44…
2- kuzinskiy.deviantart.com/art/N…
3- shenfeic.deviantart.com/art/Cr…

22- dlrpaqud.deviantart.com/art/Di…

and so many others that I couldn't relocate.
So let me know what do you think, and maybe your thoughts behind their choices to the final 20.

Good list bro. What i've been saying is that , a contest so big is bound to be unfair. There was such a huge amount of incredible stuff that it was impossible to have 20 semi-finalists. I think even 50 semi-finalists would still leave out some wonderful pieces.  Overall i prefer your list over the official one. I think your list has more spirit and as a gallery represents more styles and imagery than that of the actual semi-finalists. Also i would like to add that , even though every one you presented is awesome , this guy :tamplierpainter: has done a shit ton of blizzard fanarts and is incredible. I think the fact that he is not hired by blizzard already is just a shame. Not even for a damn card illustration -_- 

As for the semifinalists , im cheering for this one 0bo.deviantart.com/art/Monk-44… . Its epic , the lighting is awesome and its monk , monk is the best , monk must win.
