I am ecstatic to share the following submissions to the “Shift Happens” Tree-Shirts contest! As you may remember, the winner will receive a free copy of a shirt featuring his or her design. ALL contest submitters have my heart-felt appreciation. I know how much work went into these gorgeous creations, and I am so pleased to be able to share them (click on the thumbnails to enlarge the images).
How to Vote for Your Favorite
You can vote for your favorite among the four entries by visiting the main page and using the poll included in the sidebar. Voting will remain available until the end of the week!
And here they are, in alphabetical order:
Eggo’s “Wreath of Forms”Our Tree of Life Form looks quite broccoli-esque in this green silhouette, reigning over a beautiful wreath of multi-hued leaves and surrounded by both cat and bear paws. Silhouettes of our other forms, including Moonkin and Travel Forms appear on either side of the design, and pretty swirls give it a lovely symmetry! Thank you, Eggo!

 Leigh Ann’s “A Happy Death”At left is the entry submitted by Leigh Ann, featuring a Tree of Life who is surprisingly happy to have been chopped in half. Maybe she’s looking on the bright side of all the recent nerfs! Featuring a stylized version of our Tree Form with autumnal, geometric leaves, Leigh Ann’s submission is both colorful and cheerful! Now if only we could persuade Blizzard to let us complete our death animations Tree of Life Form instead of being automatically shifted into Night Elf form! Thanks, Leigh Ann! |
Rhoelyn’s “Comic ‘Strip’”Below is the entry submitted by Rhoelyn, author of Points of Convergence. It features a most unfortunate Male Night Elf who, while cheerfully going about the business of appreciating Nature, discovers he’s developed an allergy to purple flowers! The results are … well … revealing! And may I say, RAWR! Azeroth definitely needs more male Night Elves! Much appreciated, Rhoelyn.

Tesh’s “Druid Amalgam”This entry comes from Tesh, author of the blog Tish Tosh Tesh. It features a character illustration that’s an amalgam of almost all of the Druid’s shapeshift forms. With two wings from both Epic Flight Forms, arms from Dire Bear and Night Elf Cat Form, a head from both Night Elf and Tauren Moonkin Forms, a belly and tail from Travel Form, and legs that clearly “stem” (wonka wonka) from both races’ Tree of Life Form, this piece nicely (and beautifully) sums up the many roles that a Druid can perform. Thank you, Tesh! |
Additional Submissions
In addition to the three entries above, there were two submissions that I received but couldn’t include. I’m sharing them both here, though, because I really appreciate the work that went into them! Thank you!
Hiu’s “Shifting Man” |
Riverwish’s “Squished Gnome” |

| Reader Hiu submitted the above image featuring a Resto-inspired figure changing shape and with intricate vines on both sides. Unfortunately, the figure that comprises the center piece of the design wasn’t sampled in such a way that it would print, and I worry that the vines are too intricate for Spreadshirt’s print techniques. Thank you, Hiu! | Riverwish of Skullcrusher (EU) submitted the above image which features an unlucky, green-haired gnome being crushed by the very bear bottom intended to protect her! I had to decline this entry because I’m trying to keep Tree-Shirts somewhat Restoration inspired. After all I wouldn’t want to step on BBB’s paws! Thank you, Riverwish! |
