Phoenix Trial #4
Contest Theme: Weapon and Armor Upgrade Sequences

Your aim is to create two sequences (each consisting of three or more icons), one representing the upgrade sequence for your favourite weapon and another one for somekind of matching armor.
Use your imagination, a weapon is everything what can cause damage in any form.
An armor is everything what may protect just against these.
Come up with an original idea and create your both own upgrade sequences.

  • All icons must adhere to the established icon rules.
  • Active and disabled versions of all icons are required.
  • No plain screenshots (or shallowly modified) icons are permitted.

I'm stating that I'm entering this contest aswell.
I will bring you a weapon and an armor with 2 upgrades, a total of 6 icons.
Also, as I was reading all posts i got confused, do I have to have something that belongs to Humans, Night Elfs, Blood Elf's, Orcs, Pandaren etc ?
Or can I just make a weapon and an armor and their upgrades as I want?
That is atleast what I believed when I read the contest rules, can anyone understand that I got the impression that it needs to belong to something in warcraft?
If so I can just do my kind of weapon and armor in my mind and just call it a weapon of the Magnataurs or Murlocs or something. :p

man people are going faaast! I mean 1 month peeps, work slow :D hehe
Anachron, you weapons looks cool I guess but in my opinion I would like to see more details then just flashy lightnings :)<3 (A)

Elenai
I don't think they look warcraft either, but they were really cool tho ;)

EDIT
Here is a picture of my wip.

what is to be done to my current wip tier 1 weapon is.
shadow, color and detail. So it's just the shape hehe.

oh it's suppose to look like a staff, i have a picture in my head ;P would be really cool to see this loong crazy staff on a model, tho in this icon you can see only a pieace of the whole staff and of course it's somewhere on the top of the staff where the main details are.

WIP:pal:
