As promised, this is the final post on Egotistical Priest.

Two years of advice, opinions, theorycraft, and hilarity has come to an end.

Bloggers

Many, many thanks to my guest bloggers and regular contributors.

A tauren druid bookmark for Jerran and the poor, shortsighted dwarf hunter. Click to embiggen.

That is the last of the contest winners who have contacted me or responded to my emails.

Methras, if you’re watching, you still have a little time left to claim your sketch prize!

A dragon sketch for Honorable Mention for Copra, with the retirement package. As a side note, I TRIED to draw a “serious” dragon, and just didn’t have the room. I keep wanting to draw BIG wings. Result? A semi-chibi Onyxia.

UPDATE : Thank you for the screenshot! My question has been answered.

Is there anyone out there with a tauren druid who would be willing to take a screenshot for me?

I’m working on Jerran’s bookmark prize and I drew the tauren kitty from the side before realizing that the side-view of the new tauren druid cat form is apparently top secret and not to be leaked via google image searches.

Fourth Ego contest prize is done! An Honorable Mention sketch for Jess, of her faithful wolf.

The third Ego contest prize art is complete! Ann’s Undaunted Tallstrider. I wasn’t able to get the colors quite where I wanted on this one, but I like it anyway. It was also supposed to be a bookmark, but I spoke with Ann and she agreed that I could send the fully colored picture and she would decide if she wanted to trim it down for a bookmark when it reached her.

The second Ego contest prize art is complete! Iris’ hearbroken bear. I don’t know why, but when I sprayed the fixative on the art, the bottom part of the tree got a less-than-lovely silver sheen over it. I am not pleased.

The first contest prize is complete. Plastic Rat’s trusty, crazy boar.

I am officially closing the doors on The Egotistical Priest.

I’m sure this won’t come as much of a shock after the past few months of inactivity, but even I still held a glimmer of hope that the game would be revitalized after a period of time off.

It did not. I haven’t logged into WoW since the post where I mentioned I was taking a break.

It does no good for a blogger who no longer plays a game to continue and offer articles regarding it. More and more, I’d become that old biddy sitting on her front porch, sipping lemonade and cackling to herself about the good old days (and yelling at the neighbors kids to get off my lawn).

I will post the contest prizes here, and then have one final capstone post to indicate that the blog is truly dead. If you’d like to stick around long enough to see the prizes, you’re more than welcome, but there will be no further World of Warcraft theorycraft or gaming posts.

The contest has been judged. Thanks to all the judges for helping, and a huge, HUGE thanks to everyone who entered. You guys did NOT make this easy, and there are some really incredible entries that didn’t win, but still rocked the contest back on its heels.

Without further ado : The winners!
