ROYGBiV Tmog Contest - February's Winner

Weland brings Lil' Ragnaros to visit his old home one last time.


Going into this I never imagined how difficult it would be to choose a winner. I have been in a few transmogrification contests and have watched many more from the side lines...but judging one? Holy cow!!!

There were nine contestants with a wide array of outfits. While some may not have jumped out and screamed, "I AM YOUR WINNER", they all had little nuances to them. Ones that I appreciated and could understand why they were chosen to be combined into one outfit.

Enough blabbering from me. You are here to see who has won for the month of February. So, without further ado, I present to you PlaidElf and his red hunter!



I hemmed and hawed quite some time over my choices...almost to the point of flipping a coin between the last two outfits it came down to. But, something kept pulling me back to PlaidElf's outfit.

Congratulations PlaidElf! Your Lil' Ragnaros redemption code is on the way!

Thank you to everyone who submitted an outfit!!! You all did an outstanding job! I can't wait to see what March brings.

Below you can see images of all the contestants and their wonderful outfits.




















P.S. - I am sorry for cutting it so close and getting this out so late. I'll do better next month.

P.S.S. - If you would like to know what a certain piece is in any of the outfits, just ask in the comments and I'll reply with a name and link to it.

  1. Oh wow! I can't believe I won. Especially against so many other awesome outfits. They're all gorgeous. I don't know how you picked! :)
    Thanks for hosting such an awesome contest. :D

    1. It was much harder to choose than I ever would have imagined. I think what's so hard is that I really haven't set any guidelines...I just said, "Here's your color for the month. Have at it!". So, I really have nothing to "score" the outfits based upon, other than the fact that they include the color of the month.

      Congratz on winning and I'm glad you like the contest. Check your email for your prize from the Blizz store as well as an email from me with a small .jpg image for your site showing you're a winner...if you want to post it that is. :o)

    1. It was tough. I didn't see an entry for you though. Glad to see you posted one for March though!

    2. This was mine for February. It was more for fun than anything else.

  4. Every time I try to comment on your blog my comment refuses to go through. Will this one be denied as well? I don't know. The Wordpress authentication never works, nor does the name and website option. Arrgh! Maybe I'll try anonymous? :(

    If this does go through then yay! Congrats to the winner! All the outfits look really quite lovely. I always enjoy seeing what other people come up with, because everyone always has their own unique spin on a challenge.

    One small request: Could you put the name of the blogger/individual next to their entry? I think it would be nice to know who submitted what. (Mine is the Pally at the top of the also-ran images, for anyone who might be curious.)

    Thanks! (Assuming this went through and didn't get eaten by the internet again.)

    1. I didn't put names next to photos because I wasn't sure if all contestants would want that. If everyone is okay with it, I'll add them/edit this post and will make sure to add them in the future contests.

      And sorry about it taking you a few times to get your comment to go through. I understand that Blogger and WordPress don't play well together. Not sure why the name/website option doesn't work though.

    2. The name and website option finally worked, so I don't know what was wrong earlier. It felt kinda weird entering your contest by email when I'd never been able to comment before, like you were going to be, "Who is THIS person?!" LOL

  5. Not sure if I can find a transmog I like for orange to keep participating, but just want to make sure you've gotten the e-mails I sent in. I did send in a Feb entry, must've been late, and another e-mail asking if I was sending it to the right place. It is molar(dot)jstmel at gmail?

    1. Hiya Doc...and sorry, I've not received any emails. The address is momar . jstmel @ gmail . com (minus the spaces)

      If you want to re-send your Feb entry I will post it with March's entries at the end of the month so everyone can see it. I have another entry from Feb I missed that I'll be doing that for.

  6. Grats Plaidelf! Gosh glad I'm not judging this one, it's too tough!

    1. If at some point and time I do another tmog contest I'll be enlisting help. Seeing as how this is my first one I figured it'd be best to put all the burden on me. Not next time. It is/was tough to decide.
