Default The Inspiration behind Skill Icons

I always liked many of the skill icons in GW, some however look like they had a little inspiration.

Heres and example:

[card]Nature's Renewal[/card] and [IMG][/IMG]

or a little more obvious one


[card]Glimmer of Light[/card] and [IMG][/IMG]

and my favorite because it is so different from the icon

[card]Resurrect[/card] and [IMG][/IMG]

So what do you guys have???

"Cant touch this" has the icon with the guy wearing what seems like pipes for pants, as MC hammer did in his Can't touch this video.

Well, the Luxon skill icons for the Factions PVE skills were obviously designed by some guy who took a look at alpha-edition MTG cards and thought, "Man, that's the best art ever?!" Especially in comparison to the moderately-competant (and fairly stylish, at least) Photoshop hues used for the Kurzicks. Why the Kurzicks always gotta look better?! >_<

I don't believe it's forum appropriate.
