Wuushu over at Diabloii.net has posted a compilation of the latest theory on the Blizzard splash-screen hidden image, and they are kind enough to share it with us. It seems like a sure bet now that Maticus was in fact right on the Frostmourne rune on day 1.
The three images we have so far shows us something, it could be anything from a serpent to a purple Diablo and some have even suggested a walrus.. Could it be?
What would a walrus have to do with the Diablo franchise?
Michael Dashow, who’s was hired as “Art Director / Designer / Artist” at Blizzard North during the era of Diablo 2 and also responsible for the creation of the famous Diablo 2 image
Seen on his personal portfolio webspace as part of his logo is a Walrus, and as from what we understand he is quite well known for.
Could the puzzle image be a walrus? And why would Blizzard have this one as the hidden image?
Maybe something along the lines of: “If you can figure out who this walrus refers to, you could also figure out what he has previously worked on.. and we’ll leave it at that.”
And here is the kicker: So far we have the letters: D, O and W, perhaps they’re meant to become.. D.A.S.H.O.W
Too far fetched? You decide!
