Huntress of the Golden Wood

“Elvish singing is not a thing to miss, in June under the stars, not if you care for such things.” 
 The base inspiration behind this outfit is the golds, greens, and white-greys of Lorien. The golden leaves of the trees inspire the gold laced throughout the outfit. The green grass draws out the hints of green in the boots and cape, and the white-grey tree stumps inspire the general color of the outfit.

 I have seemingly become lazy about my outfit - I have started skipping weeks to post, and I have not taken the time to take screenshots. But I am hoping I can put that behind me, and give everyone some new inspiration and such.

For quite some time, I have loved the Elvin styled outfits - those with tops that flow into leggings, with go into softly curved boots, which go into soft shoulder-guards. The cape is an elvish touch indeed, but in the past few days that I have been obsessively wearing this outfit, I have actually omitted the cape because I adore Makaia's hairstyle and the back of the chest piece is absolutely gorgeous.

my first ever combat shot which wasn't messed up... YES!

    Adhering to a posting schedule isn't easy, I can tell you. Sometimes you'll feel rushed, like you have to throw together an outfit for the sake of throwing one together. Been there. I've found it easiest to post when I get around to it, especially after finding the inspiration for an outfit. :)

    This is definitely a great outfit for blending into the Lothlorien scenery. I'll admit I had trouble seeing it in some of your pictures. Did you know that the sunlight comes from the south, despite rising in the east and setting in the west? You might not get the backgrounds you'd like, but it'll be much easier to see your outfits. I recently discovered where the light comes from myself :)

    And as for the Cuirass of Barahir, I've seen it before. It's a generic world drop. But, it does share the skin with some T5 crafted medium armor based on what I see in your screenies.

      Definitely. For a while, I tried to keep a weekly posting schedule, but as you said, it leads to rushing, and lower quality outfits.

      Thank you for that tip! I need to go back, and re-take these screenshots. Argh, lighting!

      Thank you! I will put that in the post :)

      Hi Nathrien, thanks for the honesty about the screenshots.

      I added another picture of just the outfit, so you can hopefully see the colors and such of the outfit in better lighting!

      Thanks,
      -Mak

      You're welcome :) And yes, that chest piece has the same skin as the T5 medium tailor recipe, Elven Campaigner's Armour. I actually am using that in an upcoming outfit.

Bleak as Winter - Region Series Part V

Image
When I was posting on this blog on a consistent basis, the  Region Series  was my favorite series I've ever worked on. I also had two other series' on this blog,  Crafted Sets with Cosmetic Value  and  Matching A Steed , but the region series was truly my favorite. There's something so magical about taking a region, an entire region, and trying to form an outfit inspired by that region. It is truly a difficult task. Every single region is so unique and diverse, and while it may maintain the same general feel, every single village or homestead within that region each has its own flair. It's odd that I chose Wildermore as the region to bring back this series with. All in all, it is one of my least favorite regions in the game. It is beautiful, yes, but it is incredibly desolate and forlorn. Even Forochel, just as snowy and bleak, has more activity and homeliness to it than Wildermore does.  I began this outfit with the shoulders; I was oh so close ...

Dragon Scale

It's been such a joy as of late to working on outfits again. Nowadays, whether I'm running dailies or doing quests or really doing anything in game, I'm constantly thinking about what sort of outfits I could do inspired by the region I'm in, or what sort of screenshots I could take. When I took my blog hiatus I focused so much on getting a character to cap (which I was able to do.. twice), and then gearing said characters for end game content. Even though both characters aren't tier 2 ready yet, it's been very fun having different things to work on in game, not just leveling and gearing.  This outfit is fully based around the absolutely beautiful Draigoch cloak my friend and fellow cosmetic blogger Nathrien so kindly gifted me.  In comparison to the cloak, I wanted everything else to be simple, or at least I tried. I got really distracted by how amazing the Doom-hunter's shoulders are and just had to include them in the outfit, and I think they...

Spring in the Sutcrofts

 Being below level cap definitely has its drawbacks, not being able to actually feel safe in higher level areas, not having access to all cosmetic pieces, and many more, but I have found that even being in the mid-60's level wise, I can get access to almost all of the things I could get at level cap, including journeying into Rohan... and almost western Rohan. I started looking around Middle-earth for a proper place for this outfit, one that would compliment the outfit with overpowering it, but nothing seemed to work. The Shire had too many flowers, and all places that were white had snow. So, I was about to give up on this outfit. But, Mak's adopted mother (and part-time travel agent and pilot), brought me down to Rohan, and right there, in Rohan, was the perfect scenery. It's been two days since I took these screenshots, and I haven't left Snowbourn. All's well.  As it is coming into summer time, this season also means wedding time, and the thought of...
