Some fans have been getting ready for today's launch of Diablo III for over a decade, and their preparations in the days leading up to the event have varied, but they have generally been along the lines of "I'm going to eat/drink a lot and keep playing even if I die."

Not so with artist Waies, who has spent the past three months drawing a new bit of Diablo art every day. Most of the pieces are about the many, many ways to die in the franchise's fictional realm of Khanduras, but the 98 images Waies has produced since February 8 also contain some requests, fantasy match-ups, and all-out wackiness.

Hit the break for some samples.

15 April: Exploded by a Suicide Minion

14 April: Cut Down by a Ratman

29 March (Request): Altaïr and Ezio defeated by Mephisto

5 May: Drunk to death by Ghom, Lord of Gluttony

8 Feb: A villager gets ambushed by Fallen

May 15: The End of Days
