Things I'm going for at the moment:
Invulnerability: Spear (of Destiny) - hey, it's modelled, and it WON'T look like a 'gat' ingame.. sjeesh.
Regeneration: Chalice (with some reds in the jewelry and whatnot)
Haste: Cross, sure, why not.
Invisibility: Crown
Flight: WWII/Art-Deco style eagle. Perhaps on a rod, perhaps not. Depends on what looks right.

Here's what I sketched up:
Yeah, that's a direct sketching from Heretic, but hey, it's a concept! A more detailed and realistic bird motif would work nicely also. Here's a sketch of a stylized bird motif I did quite a long while back that I've never done anything with. The head is not turned sideways because it was originally going to be part of a sword hilt:
I'm not saying "model this" for either of these, just giving some additional ideas. I really don't think a German eagle with the Nazi wreath, like they had on the flags, is good for a flight artifact. The bird, yes. Swastika, no. The only power of flight the Nazis had was in the Luftwaffe. All their treasures were stolen anyway, so I think a non German design would be more in tune with the treasure idea. Maybe even the Egyptian wings of Ra is a thought?

I'd never put a swastika on a powerup, don't worry about that :] I'm all for making a little fun of 'the nazi', but I'm not in favor of promoting that shite. The Egyptian wings idea sounds good to me. Like I said before, I'm very partial to their art.    Winged scarab.. pretty.  A combination of several of the above, including Phoenix's posted images, should be enough inspiration for now :] A winged sceptre works for me. The wings could be purple-ish, easy enough, for that flight-like effect. |

I can picture the items as wolf3D treasures, no problem. The 'Staff' or whatever Flight will be eventually, will fit in nicely. As long as you can picture nazi's snagging it from a digsite, under ambient evil chanting and with lightning flashes in the background (and more clich?s), it's all good to me.

Don't count on that suit just yet. Although the idea is kind of funny, it would also imply that the player would lose a lot of his/her mobility. Heh, not a serious idea, I just gave it for comical value  Although I might try and make one saying that... |

Well, nothing that'll get your blood curdling in your veins, but still, progress...  ----- Edit: I just noticed the shape looks a little odd from this angle.. To avoid misconception, it still resembles this very much:  |

Certainly not a carpenter's cup, but if anyone knows the story of Joseph of Arimethia you might know of the chalice made to hold the grail. Besides, we're not playing Indiana Jones here. I think it looks like a good "regeneration" cup.

The actual story of the "Holy Grail" might be much more like the DaVinci Code suggests, too. I just picked this one because it both looks like the Wolf3D version, and it can have rubies :]

In a belated response to you, Pho: I think the voob/shell effect would be very nice. Especially a subtle aura-like effect would really make them seem like magic booty. And, just a small update for you:  Nowhere near done yet, ofcourse, but you should be able to see where it's going :] |
