Well-dressed Exile Competition (submission thread)

I saw someone post in the parent thread that nobody wearing a Bringer of Rain would win this competition. So here I am, to prove 'that guy' wrong.

What you will see below are the fruits from a team of dedicated individuals, bringing forth work of artistic beauty and immense talent. This five-strong team includes two photographers (in the highly likely event of shift-work, ed. this turned out to be crucial), a make-up artist, location scout, project leader, and of course the subject, Manny 'Fists of Fury' Marauder.

The team greeted Manny at the airport, and early the next day sailed to Wraeclast, as they wanted that 'authentic' feel when they arrived. Their first observation was that Manny was massive, and secondly looked undeterrably angry. But he assured them that this was his usual demeanour, and not to worry. When they arrived on shore, they decided it would be best to eat, and in particular feed the beast (ed. this became the teams pet name for Manny, but they never told him). They were desperate to avoid a repeat of the 'Pot Noodle' calamity at the airport. To be fair to the make-up artist (it should be noted that all of the team shall remain nameless, due to legal reasons), she did at least try. But to hear a man so massive laugh so hard is genuinely frightening. Manny looked as if he wanted to go and punch a buffalo, and then eat it, but in a good way.

After dinner, the team decided to scout for a set location and try some test shots. It took a fair while to find a location everyone agreed on (ed. by everyone we mean Manny), but shortly after reaching the Sarn region we found an old ruins which looked suitable. It appeared to have some rather ancient decorative features, which for some reason Manny appreciated. The team started unpacking equipment ready for some test shots.

Then things got a little awkward. Several props and items of clothing were missing (ed. actually they weren't packed, whoops!). Obviously nobody wanted to take responsibility, especially when considering a swift uppercut or apocalyptic right hook. Manny was livid. He loved wearing those oversized red boxing gloves. Completely useless to fight in, but fun and comforting all the same, he explained. All they had packed were some Facebreaker brand sparring mitts. Manny became apoplectic with rage. He tried to keep his temper and ask why they couldn't just add an affect to his gloves, or paint them red (ed. nice subtle way of telling Grinding Gear Games to make a Facebreaker microtransaction, I approve) but they had no resources to do so. They also were without any boxing gowns, the type boxers enter the ring with (ed. another microtransaction for GGG to add), but they declined to tell Manny who at this point was rearranging some of the rock-like formations on the floor into dust-like formations. The rest of the team decided not to comment.

They decided to stop the shoot early, and thought about how to calm Manny. To the relief of the team, the scout mentioned that while trekking he found a cavernous region in the fields a few miles back. He saw what he delicately described as 'massive bear shits', and suggested Manny go and relax by sparring with some bears. He duly accepted, donning his mitts with a wry smile. The team walked a fair few paces behind him, it would have been more but they did ultimately need to keep their subject safe for the shoot. More than an hour passed, so the team decided very reluctantly to find Manny. The make-up artist commented that she was unaware bears could whistle. The rest of the team decided not to comment. There were various unusual low-pitched groans and odd shuffling sounds, which culminated in a very merry Manny sitting on a rock wiping sweat from his brow with moss, whistling away. In the distance they could just decipher what looked like a giant white beast. 'Jolly good' Manny exclaimed, with an unprecedented massive smile on his face, before deciding to run back to the bear and try to give it another beating. The entire team had to physically restrain Manny, but on reflection he was just playing with us. (ed. no animals were irreparably damaged in the making of this photoshoot.)

The next day, with everyone (Manny) in fine mood, we returned to the ruins and took some test shots.

Manny was particularly pleased with this photo, as he really enjoyed wearing the slippers. The team had found him a cloak hood, and it was all going smoothly. Then he flipped, and said that his hair wasn't right. The rest of the team decided not to comment. After much deliberation, the team took some photographs even Manny was happy with.

The word 'brooding' was used extensively during the discussion of this photo. Manny loved how big his shoulders looked, and was grateful they caught the 'clenched fist' pose he had been practising. The decorative feature to the right was also requested by him. He even grew to like the lining of his hood.

This is the first of two photo's that even the team considered to be 'highly self-indulgent'. One of the photographers, being a retired electrical-engineer, managed to make a halo-esque feature from spare lighting parts. (ed. we never knew if Manny actually liked it, but he wore it without discontent so we can only assume he loved it).

Now, nobody knows exactly how the guy actually pulled this lighing trick off. Suffice to say all we heard were words such as 'pyrotechnics', 'extremely hot', and 'highly inadvisable'. Manny absolutely loved it, the team had found something that actually made him smile. That and bear punching. (ed. we assumed that he would also have loved dragons, lots of dragons, but we couldn't find any).

The team concluded a job well done, and nobody important got hurt.

The Bringer of Rain was re-skinned with a simple silken hood agility helm.
The Lioneye's Remorse shield was re-skinned with a spiked bundle shield. Personally, I hate how big all the shields look and would prefer to make it completely invisible when playing, but this is the best I could come up with.
The boots are re-skinned with satin slippers skin.
