I've always been a fan of the monochrome art style of the icons, however for me it is really hard to tell what is depicted on some of them. Look at the pictures and write down what you see and let's find out what everyone else sees :D

Tiefling form scill icon Image reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow with a bottle of rum in both hands.

Also, Fortress scill icon Image looks like the Dark Wanderer in front of a gate (Monastery gate maybe?).

This was too funny! xD

I actually have a pic I can post here that has all the icons I ever made and sent to Marco. 90% are soo bad especially the ones I made from like 4 years ago. xD

EDIT: btw most of my icons used pics I found on Google. Tiefling Form is an example of that, but I started drawing figures in newer icons I made.

lool

I misunderstood a lot of the skill icons, until I started carefully looking at them.

Sin: QoB - looked to me like a girl with hair covered with a thick cloth, like the muslim women.
Sorc: Bladestorm - looks like the back of a Quill Rat or some crystals, eg. from Starcraft
Pal: Plague - reminds me of the Tentacle guy from the Day of the Tentacle
Pal: Scourge - is obviously a skull over some church, with 2 crossed lightnings that are like the bones from "Skull and Bones"
Barb: Stormblast... no idea. A Hill/tower and lighting around it?
