Holyknight3000, or HK is a well known Diablo 3 community wallpaper artist and prominent figure in the Diablo fan art community.


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.


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.
