Well, you have voted, and the votes have been counted. (Note to Michigan and Florida residents: Your votes have not been counted because you tried to move your primary up too early. Sorry.) This blood elf with an undead face, courtesy of Rhodarr of <no way out> on Nera'thor-EU, is the winner of the first Glitchstravaganza. Rhodarr barely squeaked by Gnatt of <Vanquished> on Dath'Remar's glitched graphics card, winning by a plurality of 27.1% to 26.4%. Sorry, Gnatt -- there'll be no recount here. A pat on the back goes to Guydebord of <Suicidal Tendencies> on Gnomeregan, who somehow managed to place below "None" in the voting.
Welcome to the gallery, Rhodarr, and proudly proclaim yourself the victor!

I wish I had seen this contest earlier (saw it when voting came up). I have a picture of me flying underwater on my mount in terrokar forest.

I agree thats bull. No way a "graphical glitch" would replace a texture with another one not related. I have glitches before like that and it doesn't do that. It would be color related not texture.

It's definitely not Photoshopped. I've experienced this bug.

What your seeing is someone who replaced the default blood elf facial texture with one from an undead, yet kept the original player models. This isnt a glitch in my opinion being as this was self caused, and the game is correctly rendering the texture, it just doesnt look right on that model.

This is forsure a glitch. It happens to my frequently with my nvidia card. I generally get my troll shaman's face mixed with a tauren.
I think that is a troll face on that bloodelf too.

no its definitly an undead one. look near the bottom where it goes from white to green. thats just like on e of the male UD faces

This glitch happens to me a lot but it's usually an orc looking face never an undead one wish I knew what was causing it. I think the screen shot i took of this happening is a lot better than the one you have shown here
