At the Mogolympics with K, et al., week two

August 27, 2012 by kamaliaetalia

The second week of the Mogolympics featured the Discus throw, Wrestling, Archery, and the Javelin toss.
~*~*~

Discus — Build an outfit around one of these relatively small, circular shields.
I chose just about the plainest shield of the whole assortment, so my outfit had to be relatively plain, too. I chose a sleeveless breastplate to accentuate my model’s buff throwing arms. The toss off the back of the hand is a very advanced technique.

Helm of the Siltwater Slayer, Wyrmhunter Spaulders, Warbringer’s Chestguard, Studded Girdle of Virtue, Chitinous Plate Legguards, Reiver Claws, Warbringer’s Sabatons, Northern Shortsword, Ceremonial Buckler

Another impressive field in this event!

~*~*~

Wrestling — We’re going to deviate from olympic wrestling and go to the sports entertainment aspect instead. Using one of the “championship”/oversized belt styles first introduced with T9, design your own Azerothian pro wrestler.
Abandoned as an infant, raised by murlocs, now he’s the fearsome MURLORC!

Arion’s Crown (Normal), Spaulders of the Scarred Lady (Normal), Brackwater Vest, Coil of Ten-Thousand Screams (Normal), Brackwater Leggings, Unyielding Fists, Unyielding Footwraps, Reclaimed Thunderstrike

What a fight! What a fight! You gotta see this mob to believe it!

~*~*~

Archery — Build an outfit around your favorite bow.
Okay, so, for this event I actually built the outfit first and chose the weapon last. I suppose the outfit is just a little too fancy to make my inspiration immediately obvious — she’s a Brave lass.

Pauldrons of the Promise, Hateful Gladiator’s Chain Armor, Veteran’s Linked Girdle, Kilt of Spiritual Reconstruction, Bountiful Gauntlets, Brunnhildar Snowkickers, Formal White Shirt, Stout Oak Longbow

I used a simple bow for my outfit a) because it matched my inspiration and b) because I like that bow model a lot anyway. I was also happy, though, to see my favorite more complex bows represented, with correspondingly elaborate outfits.

~*~*~

Javelin — Build an outfit around the polearm of your choice.
My current favorite polearm is this beauty from the Lost City of the Tol’vir, so I tried to make an outfit that would fit right in at Ramkahen.

Phantasmal Headdress, Passive Resistor Spaulders (Heroic), Peerless Armor, Peerless Belt, Rugged Leather Pants, Inscribed Leather Gloves + Manacles of the Sleeping Beast (Heroic), Gold-Leaf Wildboots, Seliza’s Spear

This was a very tight competition at the top, with 16 competitors landing their throws within ten feet of each other!

Ooh, so these were yours! I love Murlorc, he totally made me LOL. And I really liked your Javelin entry — I thought it matched the polearm very well and also very much suited the Troll model.

  Thanks! That was my intent with the Murlorc — to roll with the unintentional silliness of the Hunter T11 set and make something intentionally goofy out of it. I’m really happy with how my Javelin entry turned out. I think it would work pretty well on the other Druid races too — except for Night Elves. The boots have purple feet that don’t quite go with the rest of the outfit

I absolutely loved your wrestling outfit!

Oh wow, all these entries were great and your murloc still makes me laugh – not to mention your dwarf’s beefy arms

  I think those beefy arms look better on Dwarves than on Humans for sure!

AAAAHHHH! So you were that scary, scary, Murlorc! Now that you tell us, it looks obvious she’s a brave lass! I think I like the reveals after each event as much as the events!

  I thought about compositing the Black Stallion mount into the action shot — that would have made my inspiration even more obvious — but that was too much work
  
  I’m really enjoying finding out who made what outfits, too!

MURLORC is genius! I love the Brave reference too!

  Thank you! Those two outfits were fun to put together

I love your wrestler Kam, he really made me giggle when I saw him! I never did notice how beefy dwarf arms are until now

  TY! I hoped people would get a good chuckle out of the Murlorc
  
  All males have these absurd gigantic arm muscles, but, as I commented to Cymre, I think the Dwarves pull it off better than some of the other races!

I think it’s unanimous. Everyone thought that Murlorc was pure genius. The outfit was awesome, the explanation that goes with it is hilarious. And the pose he strikes in his fearsome roar, I can just about feel the spit spraying from those teethy jowls. Great work Kamalia!

Murlorc! I love it! I wish I had been there to witness it!

Very, very creative.
