Progenitor Armor Set - fan redesign

A small thing I have worked on for a couple of weeks with long breaks. Someone on Reddit suggested that mythic sets from Sepulcher of the First Ones could use a small addition of class fantasy to make it look more appealing. Here is my take on the idea, heavily inspired by cosmic forces from Chronicles. Below you may find closeups with additional comments.

Also, I have to credit the creator of the original design, Kelvin Tan.

For priest, I wanted to capture the fantasy of Void and Light being two sides of the same coin. I just looked at how values were distributed on the original artwork and added some magic where I found it fitting.

Shaman has really nice fluffy fur already so I wanted to make it look like clouds. These coin motifs were naturally translated into rocks. Fire and water were slightly less obvious.

Hunter was the most difficult class to make. I had no idea which cosmic force could be attributed to hunters, so I just added some furry parts and blood. Creatures in Zereth Mortis do not really bleed, I am afraid but I think it looks cooler this way.

Death knight uses force of death. I used good old necromancy magic, similar to one in Maldraxxus. The hollow chest, accompanied by chains, is a reference to Jailer, of course.

Warrior is not a class tied to any cosmic force but we know that warriors being angry are capable of doing wonders. This one was so angry that the metal started melting a bit.

Demon hunters are obvious Fel users. I just had to break some symmetry and add some organically rocky corruption and green fire. I based it on style guides from 6.2.

Druid represents the cosmic force of Life. While I could have made the druid glow green, it is more of a warlock thing. Here, I wanted to show balance and harmony, visible in lunar and solar parts of the set. There are also plants.

Mage is a master of Arcane, force of Order. I added iconic magical runes and some still obvious stellar patterns. I like how purple worked with the original colours of the set.

Warlock works just like demon hunter. The only difference was that I had a different set of shapes to corrupt.

Rogue sometimes uses shadow magic, which is tied to the force of Void. I wanted to make rogue a bit similar to voidwalkers, while keeping parts of the old set.

Monk is connected to Spirit, the fifth element, a lesser cosmic force. For me, monk reminds me always of Yu'lon and wind serpents, so I made this set serpent themed with jade colours, just like monk's healing spells.

Paladin is a holy warrior of Light. The light is represented often by alien race of naaru so I wanted to give paladins a couple of references to crystalline naaru.
