MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino-American artist is part of the team behind hit action role-playing game “Diablo III.”
Richie Marella, a US-based artist who was born in the Philippines, is one of the 3D artists of the computer game.
Marella was featured in a video posted on the official YouTube page of “Diablo 3,” where he and other artists talked about the game.
“You’re going to really need to use your gems and your enchants (enhancements) to really boost up your defense just to survive and not get one-shotted,” he said in the video, which aimed to answer the question “How hard is this game going to be in Nightmare difficulty (and above)?”
“You really got to play as a team in the later difficulties,” he added.
Facebook user Ahyan Serul gave the tip about the Fil-Am artist to ABS-CBNnews.com on Monday, calling Morella “a pure-blooded Filipino we would always be proud of.”
Morella’s website, Sketchlab7, features his 3D artworks and sketches of mostly game characters. It also has links to his other pages on Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt and Blogger.
On his DeviantArt page, where he uses the name “Wreckonning,” Marella said he visited the Philippines last April, a month before “Diablo III” was released.
“In the Philippines for a little vacation. It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve been back. It’s nice to be back home,” he said.
