Demon Armor Upgrade

Demon Armor Upgrade
Remade it to be more lore-friendly and goes along with Blizzard designs
As you can see my original plan was to only use Green glow for my DemonArmor Icons but using it on the 3rd tier kinda makes it weak looking or less flamboyant(Maybe because that's how we see 3rd tier to fit well).

new version:

old version:

I've made the alternatives either way and put them on scratch. I'll see what you guys say.

Useful and decent without a doubt. Don't stop your updating here though, we would like to see more of them.

This first version isnt very detailed like the other 2 please define it more with shading and highlights like in the other 2 upgrades please, its also very flat, so defining it a little more may make it pop more

Also, instead of uploading each icon seperate you can add icons towards one icon so it isnt sperated.

Ok Sir, I'll enhance the shading on the first tier, also adding more details for the third tier and combine them in one download.

OMG
This

is really better than this

(concept)

It's sort of like a Skin Hardening with Tattoos. I thought of the Idea from the Undead's Unholy Strength

But if you really don't like it, I just update soon :)

A hand is not the same as a chest, human and nelves armour research has armour at all levels and i cant understand how a more aggresive race as Demons will not.

What about it? it's scratch when i'm still thinking of designs.
first one is a Fel Orc Armor.
second Infernal Armor.
third Felguard Armor.
and last was a Felguard recolored(It almost done until i change my mind)
I really think that these models are easier to understand than the current ones.

Differences between those ones are too much.

Diffenrences between those ones are: Recolor + zoom

In this case this is very different, each design has differences between each one.

Showing a part of the arm also helps even more to understand what the icon is about.

The design, shadings, aura etc of Tier 2 seems more superior than Tier 3 imo, not to mention their similarity.
I suggest you to make a bigger change to the third one;
e.g.
1.Applying green/gold runes to the dark plate
2.Cover the dark spaces with more gold then give it unique engravings (the gold skull for example, is a good touch, but is also a waste since you placed it on the corner instead of the other empty blackness)
3.Change the thorns to gold too, it already has too many blackness.
4.Give the aura a different color
An example for 3&4:

Nice, now weapons, magic (this could be something related with a skull) , skins,

You make me go back and still editing my custom races melee map :D

Glad you like it. I too remembered making custom races on melee maps. shame i did not finish it since it lacks mod resources back then, -aand i lost it from my old PC.

The Demon Weapon is still on sketch and Every week i ended up remaking them. it might take a while cause coloring Metal is not my forte.

That will also take a while, sorry for the late reply. I've been busy moving things lately. and getting a new PC, so i got to make sure I transfer my files every last bit.

Here is my first rejected idea:
dd7myuf-d2ba9f2d-f77f-4345-89e7-16c050467f24.jpg
it was a bad idea cause its not easy to understand it as a weapon. i needed to simplify it like this
dd7mzcz-73a00d28-4745-4020-8cf0-cac00b3869aa.jpg

Then this are my plan:
Tier 1
637197_broken_shore_plate_recolor_by_artisticbang09_dd7myut-150.jpg

Tier 2
6intro_by_artisticbang09_dd7myvu-150.jpg

Tier 3
461990_kagrazs_burning_blade_mythic_by_artisticbang09_dd7mywr-150.jpg

For now, i don't have time to draw and i still need an idea on which part of the blade i draw as an icon.
