Lyv The Hallowed

Being the skilled seamstress and fashionista that she is, Anou accepted the daunting task of putting together an outfit for Lyv, the Undead priest.

Now, Lyv has something of a reputation, being that she is a priest but can't get her head around saving people. Up until now, she has gone most of her life as a shadow, or skulking around graveyards and crypts, caring little about her appearance, or the creepy-crawlies always falling out of her robes. Even in the dusty, sweltering heat of Orgrimmar, Lyv was able to find suitable enough lodgings.

Anou wanted to bring out that contrast in her new acquaintance. Lyv, the Undead. The anti-healer. Shadow and fiendlings. She wanted to stray from the "rotten flesh and cockroaches" look that Lyv had nurtured up until then.

This is what she came up with.

Featured above: Halo of Transcendence, Valorous Shoulderpads of Faith, Arcanoweave Robe, Durable Belt (Tentacular Belt is in the works to complete the set Anou had designed), Mana-Etched Gloves, Slippers of Moving Waters, Ordo Mace, Tome of the Dawn.

Lyv was so pleasantly surprised that she stays out of shadow form now when she's not out and about in the world, so people can admire the light shining from her.

FYI: The mace is what Lyv had equipped she t'mogged all her stuff. It unintentionally matches, but different weapons are also currently in the works. I was just so proud of what it all looked like that I couldn't wait to show it off.

Passion for Fashion

So, this was funny. I obviously have a Facebook account, and happened to see one of my "friends" post that they were playing a game called Fashland. It sounded promising. Like.. Paper Dolls, only with pixels! Anyway, so I went and gave it a try and now I'm hooked.

I realize this is not WoW-related, but I felt that it still needed to be posted here.

LOL.

Incidentally, if you also play, message me and I will connect you to my FB! ;)

Bank Alts

So, my first post of the new year (Happy New Year, by the way), bank alts.

Everyone who's anyone has a bank alt, whether it be a guild bank with old-world mats inside or simply a regular bank to horde a few odds and ends...

My bank alt is a level 84 hunter, so she can wear anything made of cloth, leather and mail. For this site however, I am sticking to cloth. This is her holiday outfit for this year, but she's always picking and choosing items in my guild bank's overflowing grey-quality gear tab.

The Bank Posse

Featured above: Red Winter Clothes, Lookout's Shoes, Wine Glass.

In the above screencap, Frost is posed with Auctioneer Sowata in Orgrimmar's Valley of Wisdom. It's her main haunt as the bank and mailbox are both within a mere few seconds of walking distance. Frost and Sowata have developed quite a haggling relationship over the years.

Octavien

Octavien is not a warlock. He is not a cloth wearer. But I absolutely had to show him off here at least once, so let's call this a Cameo Appearance.

Octavien is Anou's true love. He started as her devoted admirer, besotted by her demonic allure and now he has grown ten times more powerful and it is she who harbors that unilateral crush. (Learn more about Octavien.) Unfortunately, Anou must admire him from afar, as they can only communicate through mail and the written word. They will never be together. Poor Anou (/sadface)

Tee hee. ;)

Without further ado, here is Octavien in his Pandaren splendor:

Octavien and his loyal pup, Hound.

Featured above: Blood-Stained Pauldrons, Breastplate of the Witness, Renowned Guild Tabard, Fingers of Light, Goldtalon Clasp, Palewind Legguard, Stillheart Warboots, Massacre Sword.

I love the red and gold combination, and there is a hint of purple in the shoulders which carries into the pants and belt (which are a matching set). Lucky for Octavien, the Guild Tabard carries similar colors. Finally, the boots have a silvery-purple gradient in them that compliments the other items, making the look work. I did have a lot of trouble finding something to put on his feet, but I find the end result is pretty good. When I first found these shoulders, all I could think of was Chinese Dragons, so I stashed them in my bank. When MoP hit, I just knew I'd find a use for them!
