Believe it or not, the Transmogolympics contest has come to an end!

I don’t think the host, JD Kenada, or the judges knew what they were getting themselves into a few months ago.  What started as a few WOW bloggers competing against each other’s transmogs ended up being 47 contestants and over 450 outfits.

The winners can be seen here.  Even more awesome is that JD has made a website just as an archive of this event (still in progress)!

Ok so here are pictures of my outfits from the last three categories that were featured:

FENCING (1h sword)

Pally set…or is it?!

This was the most frustrating outfit I had to make, mainly because my husband’s toon not only had full bags but also a full bank and full void storage.  I think I spent two hours sorting gear sets and deleting/DEing/selling anything possible. (he ended up having duplicates of several items)

I was really proud of myself with the finished result- this outfit looks like a matched set, but it is actually about 1/2 level 70 gear and 1/2 level 85 gear.  I finished it off with a weapon enchant and a shield off the auction house that matched.

The criteria for this category was “best use of a 1h sword,” but I did notice that all three medalists used a fencing-type-sword, not just any sword.

Items used for this paladin outfit: Brighthelm of Justice, Overlord’s Spaulders, Pillager’s Cloak, Breastplate of Fierce Survival, Gloves of Radiant Glory, Dragonfracture Belt, Legguards of Radiant Glory, Pillarfoot Greaves, Brutality Blade, and Stonewrought Shield.

FREESTYLE (Make up an NPC)

For Gnomeregan!

I got the idea in my head from the beginning that my NPC needed to be a musketeer.  Then I ended up only having a male gnome left as far as gender/race combinations that I had at a “decent” level (I actually had to level this toon to equip the crafted musket). I came up with this description, which I sent the judges:

A musketeer was an early modern type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket.  Musketeers were an important part of early modern armies. They sometimes could fight on horseback, like a dragoon or a cavalryman. The musketeer was a precursor to the rifleman.  The Gnomeregan musketeers are steeped in tradition. While technology for the gnomes and types of military fighting have both progressed, the musketeers prefer to guard their home in the old ways of gun and sword. Being a Gnomeregan Musketeer requires a code of honor and loyal service to their race.

This was the hardest outfit to put together gear-wise because I had almost no gear saved on this toon, and the toon was not even level 70 yet.  At one point I even got Model Viewer out just to figure out what gear I needed to go get.

I was a little bummed because I was not able to use the Gnomeregan tabard as part of my outfit since I was Gilneas faction (one of the rules).  I did find, however, a purple chest to represent one of the Gnomeregan colors.

This leather outfit included: Cabalist Helm, Stormshroud Shoulders, Cloak of Healing Rays, Vest of Vengeance, Wicked Leather Bracers, Mighty Gauntlets, Wanderer’s Belt, Bard’s Trousers, Sure-Step Boots, Dazzling Mithril Rapier, Fel Iron Musket, and White Tuxedo Shirt.

EQUESTRIAN (outfit matching a mount)

Kossuth with Tyrael’s Charger

This may have been my favorite outfit entered.  This was one of my lowest level toons used, but for some reason it came together really well.

The mail outfit uses the same gold, white, and blue/purple on the Tyrael mount.  I used: Bonelink Helmet, Crusader’s Pauldrons, Durable Cape, Lord’ Breastplate, Ornate Gaunlets, Lord’s Girdle, Myrmidon’s leggings, Lord’s Boots, Ebonclaw Reaver, and Bone Slicing hatchet.

Thanks for the contest guys!  It was really fun and gave me a reason to make more outfits for my blog!

The results of Transmogolympics are flying in very quickly lately.  I looked tonight and realized I needed to do a blog update because I had missed so many results postings.

Some of the awards have been given without naming the scores for everyone, so I don’t know my scores in some cases.  No medals so far though, and I have been scoring pretty low when it has been listed.  A lot of competition out there though!

So here are my pictures from the new categories posted- hope you like them!

DISCUS (shield)

Cassie in Loch Modan

I was going for a black and gold look.  The items used were: Mugthol’s Helm, Field Plate Pauldrons, Hydralick Armor, Glorious Bindings, Stonegrip Gauntlets, Alabaster Plate Girdle, Golem Shard Leggings, Obsidian Greaves, Serpent Slicer, and Blackskull Shield.

WRESTLING (Use of an Oversized Belt)

Magdakine Flexes For You

This is the first outfit I did.  I put it together really quickly, and I love how it turned out.  I wish I had made the screenshot somewhere different… Here are the pieces: Renouncer’s Cowl, Burden of Lost Humanity, Defender Tunic, Southfury Gauntlets, Belt of Shattered Elementium, Sundered Legguards, Tsunami Boots, Hammer of Sparks, and Goblet of Anger (not shown).

ARCHERY (bow)

Natural Woman (erm elf)

On this outfit I was going for a natural look.  Some of these pieces are no longer available in game…. The pieces are:  Cormorant Helm, Blessed Pauldrons of Undead Slaying, Myrmidon’s Breastplate, Eradicator’s Bracers, Thornsnarl Gauntlets, Southfury Belt, Blessed Greaves of Undead Slaying, Amberpine Greaves, Massive Battle Axe, and Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth.

JAVELIN (Polearm)

Deathknight Outfit

This is a red and black outfit for plate wearer on a nightelf DK.  It includes- Greathelm of the Titan Protectorate, Rescuers Shoulderguards, Illidari Cloak…, Demon Forged Breastplate, Warlord’s Iron-Gauntlets, Forgemaster’s Shattered Shackle, Legguards of the Shattered Hand, Warlord’s Sabatons, and Hellreaver.

This month I am hosting a contest between three WOW bloggers who discuss RP or fashion in the game.  It is up to me AND YOU to decide who wins!

Here are the contest specs that were sent out to the contestants:

Enter a transmog outfit you think looks the coolest.  Pretty simple right?
The contest will be judged on:
Items Used- mixing tier with non-tier, colors mixed together, over all look- 50%
Screenshot submission- creativity, location, etc- 50%
My vote will count for 50% and the readers’ votes will count for the other half.

The contestant prize is a WOW item donated from etsy.com shop, DaintyCreations!
Custom WOW Coasters with their character- Value $20

Custom WOW Coasters

__________________________________________________________________

I will also be rolling a random number in WOW for a reader comment prize, which will be a rare WOW Loot Card called Grim Campfire!  (value $15-20) Yes, you can win too!

SO… the blogger nominees are:
1) KIRINA’S CLOSET

Swamp Thang

Kirina Used:
Big Voodoo Mask
Ymirjar’s Physician’s Robe
Mantle of Autumn
Overcast Boots, Gloves, and Belt

Kirina says: The Physician’s Robe immediately made me think of a female “creature from the Black Lagoon”, and so I focused on a outfit primarily green and brown to go along with that “swampy” theme. I found that the Mantle of Autumn really accents the colors in the robe – while they aren’t green like the druid-only Cenarion Spaulders, the golden leaves of the Autumn mantle bring out the darker brown/tan colors in the robe. The Big Voodoo Mask  was added just to be “scarier”…and, it was really the only leather helm I could find that was obtainable for Kirina while still matching the spirit of the outfit.

2. KAMALIA ET ALIA

Newsies Look

Kamalia used:
Hood of Lost Solitude
Murkblood Shoulderguards
Raptor-Hide Harness
Rigid Belt
Expedition Pants
Runic Leather Gauntlets
Mosshide Boots
Tuxedo Shirt

Kamalia Says: I’d been intending to put together an outfit based around the Hood of Lost Solitude, a leather quest reward item from Twilight Highlands that reminds me of a military-style cap, for some time now. In contemplating what sorts of outfits I might make, it occurred to me that this hat might make a good newsboy cap.

Also: Like the Dress Shoes, these boots disappear on races that don’t wear shoes and look like plain black shoes on races with human-like feet.
I also considered using the Runic Leather Vest/Cow King’s Hide as an alternate chestpiece.

3. Effraeti’s RP

Shammy Power

Effi Used:
Crown of Destruction
Merciless Gladiator’s Ringmail Spaulders
Brutal Gladiator’s Ringmail Armor
Brutal Gladiator’s Ringmail Gauntlets
Guardian’s Ringmail Girdle
Feltooth Eviscerator
Triptych Shield of the Ancients 

Effraeti says:  Somewhat inspired by the Firelands (T12), but mainly built around the Cataclysm (T5) set shoulders (which I bought the PvP replica of).  Shamans are elemental based, and I thought the look of fire was most impressive (and I love that helm).  My preference would be the Earthshatter (T3) set, but alas, I did not play in Vanilla.

TO COMMENT: Please only vote for ONE contestant… comment with two numbers- one number between 1-10 for the overall look and another number between 1-10 for the screenshot.  (10 being the highest)

Example Comment: I like Kirina the best because…xyz.  I give her a score of 8/7.

DEADLINE TO COMMENT ON THIS POST FOR ENTRY: DECEMBER 15, 2011!

JUDGING, ROLL, AND PRIZE NOTIFICATION WILL TAKE PLACE BY: DECEMBER 20, 2011… winners will be announced on this blog as well.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY
VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW
MUST BE 18+ TO COMMENT/ENTER
IF ANY PRIZE IS UNCLAIMED, THERE WILL NOT BE A 2nd DRAWING
