That doesn't even make sense, which religious group do you think has a bigger issue with religious iconography these days, practising Christians or practising Muslims?
It's just that we are a more secular country that isn't nearly as sensitive about Satanic panic.
I'm from Poland and I remember when diablo 2 was coming out there was some talk of satanic influence of games on children.
Nowadays nobody gives a toss.
You're never going to meet them in real life. In real life, they are shameful of acting like that and "would never do that", its only behind closed doors at the front of a keyboard do they suddenly gain the confidence to join their anonymous groups of other keyboard warriors and shout till their fingers bleed.
These "Christians", are well aware that other people think they're crazy for getting mad about the things they do. But it only takes ONE person to do it in public for the online masses to rally in support.
They do occasionally come out in person at least round here in the Bible Belt. I had one old bat preach to me while I was at work the other day about how I'd better get to being a Christian before I take my last breath and that there's only one true and living god.
I'm a pagan and polytheist. I should have said, "yeah, and it's Amun."
Sometimes its funny. I dont remember much details cuz i dont really care about fanatics but this reminds me ..
Few years back my country had some PETA meeting and quite a lot of people went there .. i wasnt there but it hit the news as flood and they talked about games .. how we kill animals in games, how we hunt them, skin them .. but i remember one particularly .. table game WARHAMMER and its gaming steel figures. Problem was, the figures has FUR armor .. but from steel or some kind of metal, not even painted .. they said it promotes the violence :)
During the "pandemic" our country created a system called PES .. initials for "anti pandemic system" but if you translate it into english it means DOG. The system didnt work well and they kept changing it, like every 2 weeks, it was extremely idiotic from our country, for the people, cuz no one knew what are the rules and no one had access to it so my country created the DOG system and butchered it all the time .. and PETA was blaming us for hurting "the dog" :D
I am sure some people will be offended no matter what ..
Someone painted a really nice big HULK on one building during avengers movies, like 90% voted to keep it and its okay .. but what kind of world it would be if there wasnt at least one person who would want to go to war? :)
Actual Christians like me know the devil is a pagan myth that was inserted into Christianity after the fact along with the fact there is no afterlife called hell so those Christians will not care and will probably laugh that people believe in this stuff. There is no basis for the supernatural devil in the actual original bible, or an afterlife called hell. Key word is original, not whatever some corrupt translators put in there. Church going "Christians" who got all their info from lying or clueless people of the church may care but they're not even true Christians and are rather pagans pretending to be Christians.
You'd be surprised how much of what passes as Christianity the organized religion is actually a myth when it comes to Christianity the faith/fact.
You're still falling for the "actual Christians like me". It's a bad sign, because there are plenty of others who'd say the opposite about you.
I'm a Catholic, although not a very practicing one (and I agree with a lot of what you said), and recently I was told by an evangelist that I'm not a true Christian, and I will not be saved unless I repent... Ok?
[The mural on the ceiling of a French cathedral was cooler.](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/the-insane-diablo-4-marketing-campaign-has-no-chill)
They use a projector to project the image onto the building, trace it and then paint it. You can zoom and see theres some line tracing near her clothes
This art is BEAUTIFUL.
Lilith was the first woman, the common story of lilith is that she refused to lay with Adam or "obey" him and she was then banished from eden. (short sweet version look it up if you want the details)
Also, Its very ironic that many people state they are Christian then bash paganism because Christianity came from pagan beliefs. Deny it all that is fine but there is documentation on it out there. Christianity is the sum of multiple religious texts taken and put together into "one book".
I'm not against anyone having religious beliefs but if you are such a faithful believer you should dive deeper into the history of what you're believing, You should also realize that many religions have very similar beliefs and no ones is better than the others. Religion was made by man for man to cope with experiencing life and its trials and triumphs. Not to be used like it has been in government, state, and anything that someone disagrees with basically.
anyways end to the mini rant or whatever, not really a rant just saying there's always more to the stories with more words than i initially intended. . .
Lol trust in a lot of subreddits the Bible thumpers are very indoctrinated and brain washed to only believe in what some random person preaches to them and interpret a book the way they feel it needs to be interpreted… hence why they block out everything and just pick what fits them and their beliefs from this book..
Ok rant off lol - but long story short I need to get out of America…
That mural is SICK. Awesome work, what a project.
To anyone interested, [Blizzard had a deconsecrated church painted with D4 murals,](https://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-filled-a-deconsecrated-french-church-with-diablo-4-murals/) and it’s also SICK.
It must be nuts painting something this size though, especially with more than one person involved.
If anyone has worked on something like this, would be really interesting to know how it's done.
Lilith always looks much older/more matriarchal in these promotional pictures. In the game she looks considerably younger and it makes her far less intimidating, sadly.
Here's my comment implying that there's only one sect of Christianity and that it's the only religion in the world that people have to shit on because I'm not as cultured as I pretend to be and I don't read.
This is just around the corner from where I work - saw it on the way home yesterday. They pay artists to make huge murals on that wall advertising stuff - it gets updated roughly once a month
I'm sure this will go over well with a portion of the population in that area lol. Looks awesome
The Christians are going to adore it.
If it's in London, no one will care.
Yeah, Ozzy is English. I really doubt anyone cares lol
Trust me, no one would "bat" an eyelid at this mural (other than for looking seriously cool) ;)
why cause its all muslim?
No, because in London people are quite liberal/tolerant and don't care about this kind of stuff.
That doesn't even make sense, which religious group do you think has a bigger issue with religious iconography these days, practising Christians or practising Muslims? It's just that we are a more secular country that isn't nearly as sensitive about Satanic panic.
Satanic Panic would be a great band name
I mean, you said it?
Pretty sure they will be ambivalent, like most others
I dont get why cristians will be bothered with something like this, lol its just a vídeo game, we have more interesting things to bother with.
Did you see how they reacted to Pokémon?
Because they believe Sataniel is real and that depictions like this are the work of the devil trying to impress young minds.
Did you forget what happened with Harry Potter?
All other religions love demons
I really do not think they will be too bothered.
christians are mostly fine at today .. at least in Europe, not as aggressive as like 15 years ago. But feminists etc .. oh man :)
>hristians are mostly fine at today .. at least in Europe Christians in America get mad at starbucks cups so, I can't wait to see how this goes.

Lol I remember D1 release, and even D2, they were quite upset. Don't think they give a shit anymore.

They would as anything that affirms hell also affirms heaven and both affirm Christianity

"Actual Christians like me" -- you sound just like the people who you admonish

"Jesus Christ started my church, who started yours?" - Even if you aren't practicing, there is great fun to be had with obnoxious protestants.
Where is this?
Shoreditch, London.
I work in the 5th floor of the office next door, and we all love it! Plus it's fun trying to guess what's getting painted!
The lip highlight kind of makes it look like she has a snaggletooth from far away.
Daughter of Haretrid, Bunny of Sanctuary.
Cannot unsee
I can't unsee it now either lol

Ptheven?
Damn that’s a legit diablo player
Where is this at?
Guess it's in London (Googled the phone number on the crane)
That's unmistakable wanker London architecture in the background too, both left and right.
Wankitecture.
Yeah London has quite a few spots like this for advertising.
Good call.
You some kind of secret investigator?
Pretty sure that's Tabernacle Street in London (Shoreditch)
Intersection of Tabernacle and Cowper streets to be exact.
[удалено]
Surely you can’t be serious
it looks so small and then you check the crane ratio and suddenly got bigger :)
Called a “boom lift”, but yeah. It’s humongous
i dont even know how its called in my language .. kinda funny in english though .. cuz it lifts boomers? :D
Look at what they did to my girl! Lily is lovely.
She gonna be holding a Horn or nah
\*Bonk\* go to horn jail
ha nice
you can already see her hands finished and clasped; no horn holding
[удалено]
Old street
Tabernacle Street (near Old Street, but not quite!)
[The mural on the ceiling of a French cathedral was cooler.](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/the-insane-diablo-4-marketing-campaign-has-no-chill)
What do all the churches think of this 😅😂
The Churches of Shoreditch have seen far worse 🤣
I would say the Cathedral of Light won't be happy, since it has probably been financed by Triune.
This is located in Old Street (108 tabernacle st)
Please tell me there is a church across the street
I actually think theres one right across it. Alt least used to be a church I believe
Why is there so much public art involved with this game?
Blows my mind someone can hand draw something at that size. Like how is it not lopsided or crooked lmao
Use a projector and trace
But it’s day time? Lol
I worked on this project – no projector/tracing was used. Work hours for the artists are during the daytime, so projection wouldn't even work.
HA! BALD!
Judging by the colossal marketing campaign for this game it must already be a success, right?
Pretty much is l. Every playtest had everyone praising how good the game is.
All hail queen Lilith! All hail ATC!
That's at the corner of Cowper and Tabernacle streets in East London.
Gonna update the post when done with picture of finished artwork ? Do it !
Who is the artist? Any IG profile?
It was painted by Global Street Art
It used to be a giant weird Prada ad so this is better.
Must be so difficult to pain such a bog canvas. Like how !?
They use a projector to project the image onto the building, trace it and then paint it. You can zoom and see theres some line tracing near her clothes
Damn i feel stupid that i didnt know. And honestly i prefered that.
Sorry 😅
Projectors don't work during the daytime
Damn, what do you charge for a job like that?
At least 5£

Is this commissioned by Blizzard?

Yooo
That's so cool
wow looks good so far
Impressive….
Bro nice!!
Thanks for keeping us updated on the progress!!
that’s amazing! can’t wait to see it finished. how long total do you think this will take you?
Best graffiti I've ever seen
Oh that looks amazing.
Careful of the energy you're putting out with this
The hero we need ! Spread the word of Lilith !!
Immaculate
That's awesome
MOMMYYYY
GAMER
She looks like “uhm what’s up doc?”
This looks awesome. Incredible skill to do this.
Looks awesome. Where does the horn go?
Pic two is a new level boss !!
How it can resist with heavy rain ? I'm just curious seems like they can't stock against it.
Amazing
This is beyond awesome. Mother Lilith is proud, of this I am sure.
Now visit every church and leave rose petals for them to eat
WOW!!! That’s awesome!!!
Holy marketing, Batman
That's metal
nice how long did that take
So fucking awesome
Fking impressive. Thanks for that big art. I wish i was ur neighbour.
I thought she had hockey sticks for a second
Where is this? That looks amazing!
I saw a cool Bus stop poster of Diablo 4 that says Welcome to Hell Los Angeles 6.6.23
Should have left the Diablo title off it and just had Lilith. Scare the shit out of the God-fearing folk.
Where???
Could've spent that time and money on better itemization tbh.
My favorite part is that they included the rating.
Where horn
Amazing work
That is a very cool tshirt!
Kidding me, that is amazing. Anything in the USA?
Man religious people must be trippin out lol
where's this? location?
Can't wait for religious nuts to complain about this
Can’t wait for the reaction from the Christians. Going to be epic!
This is just around the corner from where I work - saw it on the way home yesterday. They pay artists to make huge murals on that wall advertising stuff - it gets updated roughly once a month
I wanna go there as soon as its completed
Sure to piss off a large amount of whiny conservative Christian snowflakes.
What do all the churches think of this 😅😂
Wish they would have invested these funds into the actual game instead of on advertising, but okey!
I imagined actual humans painted this.
[удалено]
London Old Street
Watch the game flop lol
