Transmog Adventures, the Trial Concludes

Trial of Style edition -

Elemental Shaman

My main, an Elemental Shaman, was my first character to participate in the Trial of Style and actually had the most difficult time getting a win, as she mostly placed second, but she finally got first place.  I had a difficult time with weapons for this because the Elemental artifact weapon is the Fist of Ra-den.  I have a very small number of fist weapons, and they can't be mogged over with daggers, axes, or maces, which I have in much greater number and selection.  I really feel like Blizzard should have allowed you to mog any weapon in your collection (while in the Trial of Style instance only) and/or allowed access to all unlocked tints for the artifact weapons while in the Trial of Style instance.  I was able to get around the problem by switching specs to have access to other weapons (for instance, I used Doomhammer for the Faction Pride category) but none of the Shaman specs use a staff for the artifact, so I had to get Nibelung out of my void storage and use that when I needed a staff.  I included a picture of my regular transmog, that I call my Lava Burst outfit, and I used it when I got the Freestyle category.

Continuing Adventures in Transmog

Trial of Style edition -

Frost Death Knight

This is my Death Knight.  I named her Ezrianosh, which means Heart of Ezria in Orcish...yadda, yadda.  
I had fairly good luck with plate, and although I didn't place the first time around (I think it was Freestyle?), I won my second Trial with the Winter Wear outfit.

More Adventures in Transmog

Trial of Style edition -

Fire Mage


Cloth was a lot easier for me to make outfits with, and it helped that I already had several made (Elsa, Zelda, Wonder Woman) that I was able to use to fit the themes.  Unfortunately I waited until after the Trial of Style week was over before I took pictures, so I wasn't able to change hair styles for free at the Barber Shop anymore, and some of these outfits had particular hair styles that matched the theme better.

Trial of Style edition -

Feral Druid

*emphatically* "I WANT to participate in the Trial of Style RIGHT NOW!"
(screenshot via the Storyline addon). 
I participated in the Trial of Style on one character of each armor type (goblin shaman for mail, blood elf mage for cloth, orc death knight for plate, and night elf druid for leather).  Despite my Druid being my oldest Warcraft character, her leather transmog collection was sadly lacking, but I actually had the best luck with her.  She won two out of the two Trials she competed in.  Here are some more of her outfits for the contest themes:
