Jason Manley Leaves Black Isle Studios

Jason Manley, the man responsible for portraits and other artwork in Icewind Dale, has announced that he has left Black Isle Studios on their official message boards. Here's a rip from the post:

    hey all...

    thanks for all the compliments...I very very much appreciate them. Many of the things said on these boards about the IWD art have made us all feel good about what we have done for Black Isle.

    Seeing that little orc painting was a surprise to me..hehehe...I didnt think that was released yet!

    On a different note...I have finally decided to leave the warm nest of Black Isle. I have learned a lot from the people here. It has been the best job I ever had.

    I know you all really enjoy our latest projects. I hope they announce them soon.

    for now...get Dark Alliance...it is absolutely amazing!! That should tide you over for a bit...
