OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

I'm a little shy to spam shouts here and there about the contest x:
I did ask my friends to do it for me though if that's ok! I don't think it'll make a difference, but I tried my best (´；ω；`)!!

*cough cough!* Minus one! I'm showing 0% skin except my face.

But I have to admit that the shoots usually make me hesitate or worry on which part I should focus. I always hesitate between focusing more on the global look and feel of the screenshot. Or focusing it more on my character(aka zoom on the upper body). Because this is technically a modeling event. It also doesn't help that Elezen are tall, so I need to choose between a close-up but hide most of the background. Or a more global view that makes the details of my character less visible.

oh, oops Kaelah, i totally forgot to post after i recounted. <3

@Arias.. please do post the pics you took when those rounds come up :)

nuuuuuuu
/sad

Here is the one I was going to enter for the first round. I'm sorta glad I didn't, too, because I would have gotten totally owned by the competition, lol:

Also, I'll stop flirting with the models..... so long as that's what they want. :P

I got a little bit of time, so I figured I'd re-take my first round shot. The background is still a little lacking due to a friend coming in and re-decorating my room forcefully, but I got a shot of my character I vastly prefer to my first shot.

I struggle with this as well.Maybe its a height thing because I'm probably a tad taller than you. But yes, I'm always torn between focusing on my character and outfit versus the background. For example, to get the shot I made in round 1 I had to zoom in fully and sacrifice nearly all background. Not that my background was much to look at in the first place mind you, but it was a decision point that had to be made. I tend to lean toward close ups though, because it IS modeling afterall and aren't we supposed to be trying to sell clothes here? xD

Rongi? Direction please! ^^;;

I feel the same. I go back and forth with exactly that kind of decision making. i went and googled "modeling shots in <assignment>" and everyone of of them were pretty much the same. no fancy gimmicks, no quirky poses. just the model, with their assignment. complimenting each other.

So, I've decided this is about me, the model, and the assignment is my co star for every shoot. Now.. if i can just pull that off. :)

Oh and SQ, one of your submission shots, the closeup of your face while sitting was stunning. i dont even remember the background because you stole the shot.

A lot of sexy librarians up there, I'm jelly! It's looking good! >:3

I had mine ready before I got eliminated as well, haha.

Models are judged on outfit & pose, background, and overall feeling of the picture. ^^ hope that clears things up.

Like I mentioned, a friend came in, saw my room, and I was met with great disapproval and shame. So he forced me to redecorate or be forever mocked. My room is now much more organized XD

Also, you. Get in game at some point. I need to talk to you!

Haha, Kaelah and Tinsley, I was expecting that kind of reaction of some, since that was the reaction of most my friends when I was getting ready. XD

But sadly, there is no such thing as sexy bums in this game! D:

Awww thatd be awesome!!! ^^ i'll include a cast image photo in their photoshoot email so that it will look the same for all the models. Zoom in all the way, and have a blank as possible background for easy editting, and then i have to assign a gear for them to wear. Maybe theyre noobie gear or maybe a level 1 all classes piece.

That would deffo be easier to work with and probably make a neater looking image. ^-^ I look forward to it~

After about 500 pics.. I re subbed my picture Ronji, hope you got it^^:

Omg I deleted 2000 pictures from my recycle today XD

Hah! I think more than half of you resubmitted!!!!

Actually, for my sanities sake PLEASE do not resubmit any other pictures except for the upcoming round. Keep them until that round. I have people resubmitting photoshoot 5 and 11 and 13 and i just can't keep up! Haha.

Ooooooh, Shiva was a very creative idea. That was great!! :D

I had some other fun ones getting the wolves to try to pose, but I liked the lighting best I managed in my submission.

Hahaha, they almost look like they're howling here.

So that's what I tried to capture. :P

---

So true everyone really did great! As for snow we had a surprise blizzard this morning and im soooo not ready for real snow again! ugh! Can't believe it snowed! The leaves aren't even yellow yet, haha.

Here's mine! Ronberku totally stole my idea. :mad:

The round one shoot was extremely difficult for me; I'm both grateful and glad to be moving on. And, as always, looking forward to seeing what everyone has done with the theme. Loving all the different interpretations for round two!

SOOOO cute! It's like you saved Behemoths baby after they butchered mommy!

Oooo I love the snow round. :3 I need to retake my round 3 now eep.
Now that round 1 is over, I'ma share what I was hoping to tell with it. I did the think pose near piles of books hoping it'd look like I was either thinking of what to read next, or thinking of where to put them. I'm happy the judges think it was better than my previous. Hope I can keep that up.

Sorry for the round 5 resub Rongi. I assume that means you got it though? xD

Hey all, what were the judges scores btw? Or does that not happen every round or it does and we're not suppose to know about it? Lol just curious...
