Fashion Contest [Completed]
I suppose these would be my main three. Although the Guardian is the main. Not my best work, but lets face it I am better at games them I am at Photo shopping stuff
This is a genius idea….

I just discovered this thread at the 11th hour! I could really use a couple more “dream” pieces of armor! Here are my submissions:
- Heavy Armor Charr Warrior in Honor of the Waves
- Medium Armor Sylvari Ranger in Twilight Arbor
- Light Armor Human Elementalist in Ascalon Catacombs
Mine aren’t the fanciest, rarest, or most expensive fashions. Instead, I’m making creative use of mix ‘n’ match armor pieces to create “setting appropriate” looks.
Here are the combos for anybody who wants to know what the individual pieces are (from head to toes):
Charr Warrior: Clawfford leaps into battle with his Devil Horns, Gladiator Pauldrons, Primeval Warplate, Fire God’s Heavy Vambraces, Heritage Legplates, and Heritage Warboots.
Sylvari Ranger: Breanna Banana sports a “Legend of Zelda”-like look for her first foray into Twilight Arbor. She has on a Vigil’s Honor Headguard, Studded Shoulders, Viper’s Jerkin, Heritage Armguards, Inquest Leggings, and Outlaw Boots. Nana is wearing a simple bearskin.
Human Elementalist: Bubbles Powderpuff took a wrong turn while chasing her stray kittycat into the Ascalon Catacombs. She is wearing a Diviner Helm (concealed), Devout Mantle, Country Coat, Primitive Handwraps, Country Pants, and Vigil’s Honor Footwear (offscreen – but they really make the outfit!)
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

Y’all are making it super freaking hard for me.
Sigh.
Bring on the fashion.
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?

Hooray! I’m excited to see everyone’s screens. And although I will not be biased…. I hope to see some Asura fashion!
This one is not for the contest (since it’s not in a Dungeon), but I posted it on another thread and thought it was fun. Since you asked, I thought you’d like it anyway.
My character Hamfast Hornswoggle is a youngster who loves superheroes. In picture number one, he poses as “Hadron Hornswoggle”; average, ordinary, everyday gazillionaire banker and his ward “Rockford”. In picture number two, we see him in his alternate identity, the Incredible “Supercollider” and his trusty sidekick “Particle Boy”.
I hope it gives you a great big smile!
(He definitely supports the initiative for Guild capes!)

A++ for particle physics references
Man. Who would have thought that the dungeon forum regulars would be outnumbered by outsiders? Thanks all you new folks! They needed some competition. Some of your posts are spectacular.
I don’t do Dungeons much (tiny Guild, and I’m not generally comfortable in PUGs), but some of my most desired skins come from there. With the Wardrobe, I was finally able to use a few pieces that I had earned through the PvP Achievement Chests that used to come inside of the “normal” Achievement Chests. Unfortunately, those have now been removed from the Achievement Chests, and I am once again at a loss as to how I will get any of the pieces I really crave.
So I have my fingers crossed and am trying to submit some attractive scenes for ya. (You’ll notice my pics are from the entrance of the various Dungeons. I only had to solo a couple of spiders at Twilight Arbor. But regardless, the start is also the safest place to take screenshots and not get bushwhacked in the process )

Oh well, I might aswell enter. Tried to mix the races a bit. ( also asura fashion^^)
The first picture shows my self proclaimed Reaper Souvrii in Ascalon Catacombs(Can’t wait for that title^^). I usually use Tormented Scepter and Bloodseeker, but that picture looked crappy. Shes wearing Heritage Armor, Karka Backpiece and starter eyes.
Second my hazardous mushroom Velothi in Twilight Arbor Aetherpath. I have tried to run this path with another class, but the team always fails till I switch to her. Armor is just Tier 2 plus the rose backpiece.
And for the last one Elora Shadowleaf my first character in Fractals of the Mist. I finally perfected her look, but I may want to get the Phoenix Longbow. Mostly its T2, but I needed shoulderparts to cover more, than the ones from the set. Also I have used other gloves, that I found in the wardrobe.

Yep. I approve of any and all physics references with darling Asura.
Meet my Squaark. She had a nasty accident testing trans_dimensional travel and now her body is an intergalactic portal. She saved her head though and contained it properly. She’s okay. She itches sometimes in places she can’t scratch but all in all she’s happy.

EXTRA CREDIT! (I didn’t see anything against that…)
Here is little Miss Alyssa (named for my real-life Niece) in her finest Mesmer colors, presenting her best friend “Dolly” to the fine Lords and Ladies at Caudecus’s Manor.
She is wearing (from head to toes) Priory’s Historical Cowl (concealed), Apostle Epaulets (thank you, PvP Achievement Chest! It works perfect with the blouse!), Phoenix Vest, Stately Gloves, Adept Leggings, and Exalted Boots. Dolly is wearing a Princess Outfit.

OOOOPS, posted in the wrong thread lol.
Here’s my vampire themed Mesmer and my fiend-themed (?) Guardian.
I’m loving what I’m seeing!
Just a reminder that 3 screens/characters/dungeons are absolutely mandatory for entrance into judging. Certain exceptions (like the Coe photoshop) ARE acceptable but there will be points off in my judging for it not having 3 dungeons. But there absolutely must be 3 fashionable characters of the different weights
Just curious though, do you need to have characters in all 3 armor weights? Or cna you just enter with 1 character?
Also, does FotM hub count as a dungeon?

Yes and yes.
Is that a yes to you can enter with only 1 character or a yes to you have to have all 3 weights?
I don’t have a medium-armor character you see
EDIT: Oh dang.

Katia Firesong- my beta warrior and elementalist in her tank set and zerk set^^

Chuck Thunderstruck – Lv 80 Ele 30/10/10/10/10
Winners Announced
This contest was unbelievably tough to judge. There were amazing screens all around, and everyone seems to understand fashion pretty freaking well.
So what it ended up coming down to was screen quality and my personal biases given dyes, background, all of that jazz.
I must first congratulate the TRUE Lilith’s choice. The first screen is below. This, however, was not entered as an entry. So therefore it could not win. I post it because I just love it. I would love to see more amazing fashion/dye/background combos like this. Plus Howler. Win.
Lilith’s Choice:
Mr Finesse’s Norn Guardian. This screen is phenomenal, so phenomenal that I forgive the use of staff. Message me or post here and let me know which armor set you wish to own.
Medium Category:
Alvarez Azel’s Lisa Novella. Wonderful Asura. Message me or post here and let me know which armor set you wish to own.
Light Category:
XSquared. It was a toughy. All of you appear really bad at light armor fashion, you basically just handed it to him. Ah well. Message me or post here and let me know which armor set you wish to own. Disclaimer This isn’t true, many of you made lovely light armored characters, but xsquared’s Mesmer is a wonderful example of making it look good.
”Cat”egory:
DeSade’s kitty thief. I love her. I want to snuggle her. She is in a world of her own and I love it. Message me or post here and let me know which armor set you wish to own.
Honorable Mentions:
Iris’s Elementalist: I love her. And what you did in the screen. She’s awesome, but I guess I would have liked to see all of her armor, it was just a little blurry and tough to see.
Laar’s Guardian: Holy crap. You did some amazing things with that Charr. Props to you!
Kirin’s warrior was winning until I saw Finesse’s Guardian. I love her look, she’s exceptionally badkitty.
Thank you all for participating. Next week we will see another contest. I love you all!

Congratulate to all the winners!

Grats everyone, good to see such a turnout!
Again, thank you Lilith for running these!
Congrats!
~Sincerely, Scissors
Congratulations everyone
Time to return to lurking and closet Lilithism.
Grats to all of the winners! Here’s to the next awesome contest.
Wow I actually won something O_o
Thanks Lilith!
Also some great entries to be seen.
For my gift id like the “incarnate light armour” skin please, my mesmer and ele would make great use of this
Again thanks! what a great thing to hear after a rather depressing day.

Congrats, all! Strong competition! I guess I’ll have to live without my dream armor pieces for awhile longer. I knew I was doomed the moment I saw on another thread that you despise the term “mix ‘n’ match”, Lilith. I seriously considered editing that out of my entry. I’ll know better next time. (I hope there is a next time! I love making creative screen caps!)
If you’re still doing it, I noticed that you are part of something called “Dungeon Mentors”. I may have to avail myself of your services someday, as Dungeons are the only way I’ll get a few of the pieces I crave for the Mix ‘n’… uh, Mexican look I’m shooting for next. (Whew! Saved that one!)
Set a man on fire, and he’ll be warm the rest of his life.

Hahaha mix and match didn’t hurt your chances. I’m a big fan of your RP and story work. These screens just blew me away. Hope to see you in noob and in the next contest!

Anyway thank you very much for your sincere appreciation! And thank you for giving us these opportunities!
I’ll try to give my best next time!
Congratulations to all the winners! 2 winners requested the incarnate armor, and one the Magitech. Interesting choices!
