Dwarf Warrior
Nothing particularly complicated involved in transmogging my dwarf warrior Kharun. I wanted to build a set around the shield, which just happened to match warrior Tier 10 very well -- with the inscribed runes and earth browns and oranges, the set looks very dwarven. Even better, everything matches the Ironforge Tabard, and I love me some faction tabards. One matching orange/red cloak later, and you have a stalwart defender of Ironforge.

Blood Elf Warlock
Nothing says blood elf like the Sunwell armor sets, so it was obvious that I'd want to go there for my Sunreaver warlock Arienthas. Most everything worked out immediately, except that since I wanted to display the Sunreaver tabard, and tabards and robes mix terribly, I'd need to (a) find a non-robe chest, and (b) find matching boots. Point (a) was no trouble, since the tabard covers up most all of the chest anyway, so this chest piece and the black shirt work perfectly. Point (b) was a real problem, though, since the matching boots are mage-only. Ultimately I settled on the Runecloth Boots you see to the right -- I actually think the gold/yellow main with red accent balances the shoulders nicely, and really ties everything together. Similarly for the belt. The result is a distinct and striking blood elf look usually reserved for mages, for a Sunreaver warlock.

Worgen Priest
I had a hard time deciding on a race for my Alliance priest -- while plenty of races have the "disciple of the Light" thing down, I could see very few as shadow priests, which is what I wanted. Eventually I decided that a worgen would be most appropriate as a shadow priest, playing to the obvious werewolf style and mythology. With this in mind, Walstaf's transmog followed fairly quickly -- the Tier 10 Dark Coven look-alike gear, with a different (not enormous) belt, and a matching weapon. I went ahead and got the matching shoes, as well, even though they don't appear in worgen form. I like that the final result is dark and mysterious, rather than evil and sinister, which I think is appropriate for a worgen shadow priest.

Troll Rogue
I wanted my (recently race changed) troll rogue Tazashi to be a Darkspear shadow hunter. While there's a lot of really cool troll equipment for transmog, I much prefer to use newer models whenever possible, because of the higher visual quality. This set really started with the shoulders, which I thought looked very troll-appropriate, and everything else sort of came together after that. I actually really like how much skin this set shows -- while that's also very troll appropriate, it also showcases the new troll models, which I think are overall the most-improved.

Draenei Shaman
While Tier 6 is perfect for draenei shaman such as Zelaros here, appearing both a little sci-fi and a little elemental, I decided not to use it for a couple of reasons. First, I try to avoid using pure Tier gear when possible, and second, Skyshatter is just so blue -- I like some more chromatic diversity in my outfits. Fortunately, there's the blue-and-gold recolor of Skyshatter, but unfortunately, it's only a partial set. But partial sets are an opportunity for creativity, so after a lot of looking for gloves and belts and mix-and-matching, I assembled the outfit you see here, which I'm very happy with. Eventually I'll look for a matching shield and 1H weapon, but for right now I'm very happy with the staff -- it's crystalline but somewhat primitive looking, which I think is very appropriate for a draenei shaman.

Human Paladin
Brevan is my Alliance main, at least as of Warlords. I imagined him as the iconic Alliance paladin, and with full Tier 13 armor and the Stormwind Tabard, he sure looks the part. The sword and shield were only a little tricky to match (and a little trickier to obtain). Of course, what is a paladin without his trusty mounts, and as an added bonus this mog matches the human Charger and Grand Armored Gryphon perfectly. He's just dripping with Alliance pride and style.

Orc Death Knight
Gorehl is one of my current mains in Warlords, and my oldest active main. I imagine that after the war in Northrend, he committed himself fully to the Horde, serving them now as a commander and champion. His transmog reflects both his death knight nature and his Horde allegiance. The red versions of the iconic death knight gear matches the Hellscream's Reach Tabard perfectly, and the Tier 10 chest/legs add some variety. The Tier 9 sword obviously has a strong Horde aesthetic, but also appears to be a runeblade. The result is a very striking death knight of the Horde.

World of Mogcraft: Introduction and Mission Statement
My name is Silverblade, and I'm a mogoholic. And an altoholic. It's a dangerous (but fun!) combination. After spending quite some time just building my transmog sets for (essentially) my own enjoyment, I've decided to create a blog showcasing my work. In that regard, it's similar to many other transmog-themed blogs and sites!
What I think might distinguish my transmog creations, however, are the following things:
1) I'm a roleplayer at heart, so most/all of my mogs are rooted in the actual setting, lore, culture, etc. of the World of Warcraft. I don't just mog outfits that look nice, my creations have to really belong to the World of Warcraft (and look nice).
2) All of my characters are male, and all of my mogs will similarly be shown on male characters. In my experience, most transmog blogs/sites tend to heavily favor female characters and models, which is totally fine, but on my site it's going to be all dudes, all the time. Obviously most mogs will still work for either gender, I'll just be using male characters to show them off.
3) I have characters of literally every race, so you're going to see a lot of different races featured here, with all the lore and style that go along with them. (My WoW "winning condition" would be having a max-level character of every race/class combination, with a perfect transmog set.)
So with those things said, my intent for this blog is pretty simple; post my transmog creations. I'll probably post a bunch of creations in the next few weeks, just to help generate some content and fill out the site, but my goal is to eventually settle into a pace of roughly two transmog posts per week (one Alliance, one Horde). If I keep this up and decide I want more frequent posts, I might do so, or I might start taking fan submissions, transmog workshops, etc. For now, though, on with the mogs!
