Mogolympics: Javelin, Fencing, Freestyle, Equestrian

I'm finally getting this out there, but here is the last of the entries!

Javelin, a look based around the pole-arm Ranseur of Hatred.

Look found here

One of my personal favorites was the Fencing. I plan to create a transmog look very similar for my warrior. I love how the white and gold of the weapon match up perfectly to the armor. P.S. This time around I will choose different boots to wear. Looking back, these boots do not match up as seamlessly as I'd like. :P

Now on to the Freestyle! The idea behind this entry is to build your own NPC. I went with a troll voodoo priest. I've always been a big troll fan and I love their story around voodoo and such. Also, I love the fact that her dagger has a matching off-hand! It's very fitting and I was tickled pink when I found that.

 Lastly, the Equestrian event! Wow, there were SO MANY awesome entries! When putting my entry together I chose to match up with the Human Paladin Charger. If I ever leveled up a Paladin I think I would create a transmog based around the shield and epic sword.

All in all, the Transmogolympics were a success! It was so fun to participate in them and even more fun to see the results! Congrats to all the medal winners and kudos to everyone who participated  :D

Mogolympics: Hammer throw, Discus, Wrestling, Archery

Bah, how did I get behind on Mogolympics? A combination of RL work and sickness has put me under the weather for the past week. 

First up, Hammer Throw! I tend to favor clean, light armor looks if I use an in-your-face weapon. The plate set I used, Mithril Plate, is based around this awesome 2H Mace, Demise.

The Discus Event began week number two. This is one of my favorite sets I put together! And by reading the commentary provided by one of the judges I received a pretty good score! I think I tied for the bronze or something very close (a 5-way tie, probably). They just gave out a gold and three silvers. So far, this even is my favorite. There were a LOT of awesome transmogs that looked brilliant.

Next we have Wrestling! I didn't want to do a normal-looking WWE wrestler. That created the idea of doing a Luchidor! (Nacho Libre may or may not have influenced that thought :P). 

Luchidor!

The most recent event was Archery! I loved looking at all the different sets! It made me want to play on my hunter and get her looking snazzy. I really liked the transmog set I came up with, even though it might be labeled as a "cookie-cutter" look. I would still use it on my hunter.

Mogolympics: Cycling Event

The first event of the Mogolympics has been posted: Cycling! Here was the criteria for this event:
"Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.  It must be either Leather or Mail."

I wanted my biker outfit to be black and red to match the Horde's Chopper. I also used leather.

Overall, I was really pleased with the look. My only critique was the black: are there ANY plain-black pieces in game? To go with the boots? I wanted to use the boots badly but I had a hard time finding anything to match. There were about 50 different shades of black (hehe). I was really determined to include the boots ;)

And for those wondering what the pieces are, I have everything set up on this Transmogger link!

The entries are in!

I did it! I completed 10 transmog sets for the Mogolympics. The deadline was July 31. I have to admit, I might have procrastinated a tiny bit (editing screens/typing out armor pieces), but I made it. I'm so excited to see how everything goes! I'm also looking forward to seeing all the other entries. It is so fun to see what other people come up with in mogging :D

"How the crap do I balance on this thing?"

Playing with Plate

I was looking around on MogIt (big surprise) the other day and put together some incredibly sweet sets! I was on my warrior alt at the time so she is modeling every single one of them.

These first four are the same armor set but I have a hard time choosing a final weapon. What do you think?

Gavel of Qiraji Authority

Nightfall

Warmonger

Dark Iron Sunderer

I am in LOVE with this pink-themed set! I swear, the Bloodforged set was made for these shoulders. AND, even the mace is a 100% match. It's destiny ;)

My warrior has the plans to make these Swiftsteel Shoulders. I have two sets in mind. One is a silver-gold theme and the latter is full gold armor.

Mix and match pieces with Stormrune Edge

Conqueror's set with Cataclysmic Gladiator's Greatsword

 The guards in all the capital cities look great in their armor. Here's my (bad) attempt at a Darnassian Sentinal

This isn't a plate set, but it's a set I love very much! I put it together as part of the Mogolympics (Javelin entry) then decided to go another route at the last minute. It's the Dragonstalker recolored set with a few different pieces mixed in.

Mogolympics!

Yes, you heard that right: Mogolympics!

I was visiting Amateur Azerothian and saw the special mog event he set up to coincide with the Summer 2012 Olympics in London.

Of course, as a transmog addict, how could I not join up?!

Medal even rules are as follows (taken directly from the Mogolympics web page):

• Archery – Build an outfit around your favourite bow.
• Cycling – Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.  It must be either Leather or Mail.
• Discus – Build an outfit around one of the shield skins seen here
• Equestrian – Build an outfit to compliment one of the horse mounts in the game.  (Faction limitations apply, so no Orcs on a Stormwind pony)
• Fencing – Time for some swordplay.  Build your best outfit around the 1h sword of your choice.
• Javelin – Build an outfit around the polearm of your choice.
• Hammer Throw – Build an outfit around your favourite two-handed hammer.
• Wrestling – We’re going to deviate from olympic wrestling and go to the sports entertainment aspect instead.  Using one of the “championship” belts, design your own Azerothian pro wrestler.  Think of the oversized belts, such as the Firemend Cinch seen here.
• Freestyle – Build your own NPC. Could be an innkeeper, could be the Green Orc Lantern.  Doesn’t matter.

 Rules and details are: 

• There is NO limit on the number of participants.
• 9 competition outfits.  At least 5 different races must be used, never repeating the same gender/race combo (if you use Blood Elf Male for Javelin, you can’t make a Blood Elf Male for Discus.  You could however make it female so long as you aren’t submitting a Blood Elf Female in any other event).  Your flagbearer combo may be used in a competition event.
• Your event entry must be able to use the outfit as a proper end-game transmog (so no Gnomes in Shaman gear or Goblin Rogues entering the discus)
• Include the gear you used for each outfit please (the judges can peg many articles from in-game, but can’t always tell what everything is).
• All entries are to be submitted at once.  Send the screenshots to arcanewordsmith@gmail.com
• As per Mog Madness, MogIt and ModelViewer entries are welcome.
• We’ll reveal three events a week for three weeks, beginning August 12th.  Medals will be handed out accordingly.
• I have set no criteria for fellow judges (still confirming who the official judges will be).  They will simply give their rankings based on their own thoughts.  However, they’ll not know who they’re voting on (it will be labelled as Outfit D, rather than “Tome,” for example).
• The winner will have received the most medals in the nine events.

After throwing my name in, my flagbearer will be representing...........

The Consortium!

I am very excited to represent the smugglin' ethereal's faction!

My hubby, who also plays WoW, wanted in on the action so he's signed up, too. His faction is the Wildhammer Clan (an awesome faction to mog IMO).

Flagbearer and medal outfits to come!
