Walks with Trees


I had an idea for an outfit that was brown and woody, but gave off the feel of being fit for a lore-master, someone who loves the trees and nature in general.

I had also been having an itch to use the cape for sometime now, but I couldn't find pieces and an outfit to pair it with.

It turns out the outfit idea, one with trees, and the cape, went well together.

I started off the with the robe. I wanted to work with it, even with the intricacy of the design inlaid into the fabric, it was also simple enough.

I finally realized the cape would work well with the robe, as they were both flowy, had blues and yellows, and both had some runes and inscriptions on them.

The circlet worked perfectly, as it had leaves in it, and gave the impression it was made out of woven twigs. I want to thank Nathrien over at Material Middle-earth for gifting it to me! I finished off with the shoulder guards, and even though they are of a larger, more structured look, they seem to have straw or dried grass woven in.


Head: Harvest Brew Circlet (walnut brown dye)
Shoulders; Pathfinder's Shoulders (walnut brown dye)*
Back: Supple Eastemnet Cloak of Vitality (walnut brown dye)
Chest: Robe of the Stone-student (walnut brown dye)*

*both items are available in a cosmetic version from the Cosmetic Skirmish camp barterer.

    Wonderful combination of the robe and cloak, clearly something I never considered in the four years I've been playing. This outfit does make me think not only of trees, but of mountains and stone. You could even travel the depths of Moria by disabling the circlet and blend in perfectly. And when you emerge from the long and dark deeps of the dwarven realm, you can re-enable it. Well done!

      I apologize for the incredibly delayed reply :)

      Thank you! I adore the cloak, and the robe has a unique skin, and they went well together, I think.

      Now that you mention it, it does have a very dwarvish feel to it!

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...

Winds of Frost

It has been quite sometime, two and a half months to be exact, since I last posted. There have been a lot of contributing factors as to why I haven't posted, but the main reasons why were 1. I mentally needed a break. 2. I haven't had much inspiration lately. I feel like I should only be posting outfits that are worthy of recognition, and if I kept cranking out weekly outfits, they wouldn't be the high quality that I expect from myself. In the month of December, I decided to do something I had never done before: purchase a quest pack. You might be curious why I never purchased one before, but it was mainly a money and commitment issue. With the purchase of the Quad Expansion pack, the amount of gorgeous cosmetic pieces I gain access to is immense. I am very happy with the pieces I have been able to add to my cosmetic library. As for the outfit, it was inspired by Frostbluff. Frostbluff is the home of my absolute favorite festival in-game, and I wanted to do ...
