Of Sparks and Color - Anniversary Special


I want to start off this post by inviting you to join the kinship Rangers of the West on the Gladden server for the first official Spring Celebration! Details are here!
Like usual, for me, this outfit started off in my mind inspired completely by one piece of the outfit I picked up: the shoulder guards. I found a pair of super awesome shoulder guards in the Auction Hall, and I couldn't resist purchasing them. They boasted a unique shape and style, with reds, oranges, and yellows striped throughout, and all in all, they were a total eye-catcher. The shoulders reminded me of the Anniversary festival, which is taking place right now ingame, and the fireworks that are a large part of the festival.
 The second piece that I chose was the backpack, which is red, and has tons of fireworks sticking out of it. It is something that Makaia doesn't really enjoy very much, though, because she's worried the backpack will catch her hair on fire.

Keeping in mind that no one likes fireworks blowing up in their face, a mask was much needed.

The new cosmetic robe dyed VERY nicely, and with the yellows and oranges in it, I thought it was a good chest piece. I finished the outfit up with a very simple pair of gloves and shoes, as to not detract from the different main pieces of the 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...
