Transmog, Purple Monk

When working on my monk's tmog I decided I wanted to use the bare hands and feet

After discovering what I could only describe as a push up bra.

A friend encouraged me to use it in my look.  So Monalise this is for you.

The bare feet look is achieved by the Sandstalker Ankleguards picked up from Zerillis in Zul'Farrak in Tanaris.  He is a rare spawn so run in and check for him here then run out.

Transmog Illidari Shadow Light (Mog Madness 4)

Round 5 of the Mog Madness has an interesting challenge.  Use the Illidari Trophy Tabard to make an outfit.  You cant use a robe/skirt since you have to see the whole thing and green an purple varieties are accepted.

Now I had worked with that tabard in the past so I decided to add a bit of polish to an old love of mine, the Shadow Light Transmog set I made, thus I bring to you;

Illidari Shadow Light!

Transmog: Skylord (Mog Madness 3)

So I received a really unusual email yesterday.  I got a callback.

[Jimmy] "We got the client here, we looked at your tape, and we think we might have a real "Hercules goes bananas" angle on this. So we want you to come back in."
[Kirk] "Come back in?"
[Jimmy] "It's a call-back."
[Kirk] I had always heard about call-backs, but I had never gotten one!
(I <3 Hoodwinked)

Seems one of the other finalists had dropped out and they asked me to come and do an outfit after all.  I have to admit I'm a bit conflicted but I agreed.

So I give you, The Skylord and Skylady!

Mog Madness

I've been participating in this fun thing called Mog Madness.  The first round was to put together something cloth.  I did a variant on the Baby Blue Delight I have on my transmog page.

I ended up getting some nice reviews for it.

Wandering Universes - SWtoR Sexism

I tried out SWtOR (Starwars the Old Republic) with their free weekend deal.  It is probably one of the best multiplayer single player games out there.  I'm probably going to pick it up, play a couple of months to get an Imperial and Republic up and see their story and then quit.  Probably not the best design for an MMO.

But there is one thing that is a huge flaw in the game that would poison my enjoyment enough I'm not sure Id stay if I wanted to.  The Dancer's Outfits.  this sends all kinds of wrong messages to the gamer playing the game and I think its useful to talk about them so hopefully the mistake isn't repeated.

I know some of you will be unhappy this isn't about WoW but its any consolation I do plan to mention Warcraft.

Left Imperial, Right Republic

Transmog, Wyld Druid

The 'Wyld' druid training focuses on shifting between forms and mastering the basics of them all while focusing on none of them.  Talon, Claw, they all have their purpose but the Wild druids have risen to dominance for their sheer flexibility.

Thus I present to you the Wyld Druid.

With a staff that showers leaves and bursts into flowers its an impressive set making the

Transmog, Northrend Hunter

Ok so the last was a bit too flashy.  Apparently hunters are supposed to blend in better.  Who knew?

You know if someone told Elmer he might of done better..ah well.

So something better able to blend in and a gun thats more tech not mystic.  I think I can do that.  I just need to go back to the era of the Wrath of the Lich King for the base.

So I present, the Northrend Hunter!*

Transmog, Flame Hunter

Ive been trying to make an outfit for a net acquaintance.  Its been tough going since he doesnt know what he wants and I dont even know his character's sex.  Hmm.  Well i do know its a dwarf so I started trying to make a Mountaineer outfit.  Sadly that's all leather (Their really rogues?  Who knew!) so I figured Id try something flashy!

Bright and shinny your certain to stand out against those noobs in their tier sets.

Transmog, Horde Assassin 2

A follow up to Transmog, Horde Assassin 1 here we see my Shattered Hand rogue has moved up in the world.

With a full face mask now to hide her identity and a lovely skull motif on her boots and gloves shes moves from deadly scout to killer in appearance.

Transmog, Mage-Priest

One of the mysterious things in Warcraft are the Mage-Priests of the High Elves.  I wont go into it now but there are some curious grey areas left over from older games and even into Wrath of the Lich King.

From that I had the idea for my RP character, a Halfelven Mage-Priest!

The gear is a light pastel blue and looks vert priestly while retaining a bit of magic to it.

Sadly Dalaran got dark as I was setting up so I climbed up the spires to a roof to catch a bit of sunlight.

Transmog, Hero of the Light

For the most part I try and make transmog sets something that isnt too difficult to work on.  For this set though your going to have to work.

So I bring you the Hero of the Light!

That just screams paladin doesnt it?  Now lets look at how you get it.

Transmog, Argent Defender

Paladins have many very fine outfits to chose from.  Ill soon be touching on the Conquest gear from Northrend but I wanted to bring up the Savage gear first - mostly because I gathered it up because I thought it looked that awesome.  In fact I wore it into Cataclysm leveling :)

So I present to you the Argent Defender!

The forgotten armor - Druid (Aspirants of Icecrown)

Northrend had a couple of very nice druid sets.  So here is Malfurion's Conquest!

Sold by Aspirant Forudir at the Argent Tournament grounds originally its also found on Rafael Langrom in Dalaran.  At 2729 JP for the 5 peices (2138 if you skip the helm) its quite reasonably priced.  In fact druids get a better deal since robes hide the legings you can ignore them too making it a mere 1547 JP.

The forgotten armor - Death Knight (Aspirants of Icecrown)

I was wandering around Orgrimmar pondering a transmog for the Death Knight and I noticed something interested about the transmogs.  I went to Stormwind and observed for a bit and took a casual poll of a few friends and it seemed to conform my observations.  Virtually no one was wearing the Northrend gear.

Not really surprising I mean we were stuck wearing it for what felt like forever and it didnt have the best visual aesthetic most of the time.  Bit there are some easy to pick up sets that have a very cool and unique feel to them.  So I figured Id touch on each of the classes they sell for.  Factions too since the looks were another example of a bit of faction specific artwork.

Starting at the top we have the Horde Death Knight - Koltira's Conquest!

Transmog, The Ranger

This set is aimed more at a hunter feel though Shamans could wear it as well.

The Coercive Pauldrons come from a quest in the Badlands.  Also the Pauldrons of Darrowshire from a quest in the Eastern Plague Lands is the same graphic

Transmog, Azure Shadow

A friend of mine had a wonderful idea to use the Clefthoof set but she, quite rightly, didnt like the hood and shoulders.  So I've done a bit of work and here is my suggestion.

The Cowl of the Guiltless drops from the last boss in the Black Morass.

Transmog, Blood Hunter

I ran into a delightful hunter on Steamwheedle Cartel named Cilah.  This wonderful gal introduced me to her transmog set.  She was so wonderful as to allow me to post her set and in return Ill post what staffs, pole arms, and ranged weapons might fit.

Drakesfire Epaulets a BoE item best found off the AH.

For the chest Demon-Forged Beastplate which is not avalible to players but is a blacksmith pattern so if you know someone who learned it before Cata they will still have it.

Main Combat Gauntlets are a nice BoE for the hands.

The belt is the Scarlet Belt random drop from the scarlet monastery.

Transmog, Violet shaman (And Hunter)

I'm having huge fun working on different looks yet so far I've overlooked the mail wearers.  Time to fix that.  This creation is open to both hunters and shamans though it does have a very shamanistic look with that helm and the kilt.  If you roleplay it could fit in with certain character concepts very well - like an orc shaman who had his powers severed by Gul'dan and turned to hunting after abandoning warlock magics.

Transmog, Horde Assassin 1

This is my rogue's outfit and is one of the rare ones where bracers actually add to the effect.  They have a red color and rise to a point that project beyond the gloves.

With the tabard virtually any chest will do so long as the color isn't too outlandish (pun intended).

The helm is the Scout's Hood from Zangarmarsh quests.

Shoulders are Furious Gladiator's Leather Spaulders for just a little bit of honor.

Tabbard is the Stone Guard's Herald from honor.

The belt is the Burning Blade Devotee's Cinch from Nagrand quests.  Quite bright with its bold red!
