Build an Amateur - The Amazing Transmog Survivor Contest

Round three of JD's Amazing Transmog Survivor Contest was a little different. Here is what he asked us to do: "In order to make the final two you’re going to pretend your part of the Blizzard development team.  You’re going to design an NPC of me.  Any race you want, however you see fit.  All I’m going to ask is you include a brief description of the character so that I know what you were aiming to achieve."

I probably went through about 20 different outfits for this particular round, and I had the hardest time landing on a race. By the time I finally decided what I was going to submit I ended up with a brief description of the character looking something like this:

"I figured goblin suited you because they seem a little shifty to me (something shifty only seemed to fit given the evil nature of this round). So anyway I figured being pretty much the king of transmog contests that your npc should be dressed good, so I totally pimped him out. This goblin is stylin’ and ready to judge some outfits! Oh, and to add a little bit of badassness to the look (cause we all know your a little badass) I threw in some brass knuckles so nobody would mess with ya!"

For anyone in the dark, JD of Amateur Azerothian is hosting a fun transmog contest called the Transmogolympics. The first two competition event results are in, and the entrants are now free to post their outfits if they choose. (I represented Undercity in this competition. My flagbearer can be seen on my other blog here: Mogolympics, Representin' Undercity.)

The first competition was the Cycling event. The rules: Build a biker outfit to compliment the Chopper.  It must be either Leather or Mail.

Results of this competition can be seen on Tome of the Ancients' blog here: Mogolympics Results Round One - Cycling. There were some great outfits that people put together, and quite a few of them! I don't envy the judges one bit.
