This is going to be endlessly fun.

Same here, I love editing. I'm just a complete noob at it and self-teaching myself everything >< And yes it's gonna be rough with no edits. We got this though! (hopefully ._. )

Really? :o
That would be such a relief.

Models from YT Cycle are more than welcome to vote in Cycle 3 as Tinsley said. ^^ Judges who are not on one of the panels of either Boys or Girls side can also vote. ^^

I'm still waiting on two models to acknowledged their casting. If any one knows Raquelle or Koriander and could pass along the message..that'd be great! I'll be making alts on their servers and hunting them down tomorrow haha. If we don't get them, Gangly and Aether (and Keelah if I don't hear from Aether) will step into their place. If I don't hear from Aether or Keelah either, I will be getting emails from Tyriont to find 2 other replacements. ; ;

Also check out all those Roes that applied! xD Guess they just needed their own special thread to come out of hiding. They all look soooo good!! xD If anyone drops out of Cycle 3's girls, hopefully one of them can squeeze in? *loves Roe* xD

Oh, definitely! I think I might need to send a follow-up email to clarify but yes, ONLY the first round is due Thursday. You can submit the rest any time you wish up until the deadline for that round. In fact...hold on. I'll write up a schedule!

Thank you. :D

A bit late (I tried out Fantasy Life and got hooked up) but thanks a bunch to Nariko and Kurique for the critiques! I take a lot of screenshots for fun but I've never heard any in-depth comments on them so they were interesting to listen to c:

Really looking foward to Cycle 3! It sounds like it'll be super fun. Thanks a bunch for letting me be part of this >w<

Server distribution
Balmung: 11 entrants for 19.64%
Excalibur: 6 entrants for 10.71%
Hyperion: 6 entrants for 10.71%

Evidently Balmung is a model factory! Let's see how many of them made it in...

O.O
What is it about legacy servers? Seems folks like to think outside the grind... I mean box... there.

Schedule edited into my earlier post.

Thank you very much for clarifying this. I wasn't too sure about it, but worked ahead anyway :p

Mine's going pretty nice. Only have the first week done, or sort of done anyways. I spent about 3 hours waiting for the weather to turn to what I wanted, and ended up falling asleep. I took a bunch of screenshots while waiting though, since I know 2.4 will probably kill my drive to take screenshot for a couple of days.

I found what seems like two perfect shots that I just cant seem to fully decide between. But one I have to reshoot due to physics malfunction. (aka, not standing on anything T.T) soooo yup...after that it boils down to deciding.

My eyes went O_O when I saw your email. Anyway I replied your email!(sorta)

Great!! I've now heard from all 8 models! I'll be sending out photshoot list tonight when i get to work. ^^

Hi gang!

*groans* I am a little sore and groggy, as I've just had my tonsils cut out! But I am home from the hospital and recovering really well.
I did a big photoshoot before the patch (on the weekend) for round 1 - but with the new hairstyles, new gear and wonderful things from the patch - I am torn! I might have to do some updating today!! Hehe.

I hope everyone is doing well <3

Internet is down at work so i cant take the example pictures i want before sending tou guys a list. >< if it comes back up i'll get to it.

About a day and a half left for round 1 submissions and let me say, I am -very- impressed with what I've been seeing so far!

There's also a model or two who I've still had no contact with whatsoever, so I hope those of you who weren't in the original cast are still taking the shot for this round! There's a chance I may be calling on you yet if I've not heard anything by the deadline...

I know I haven't sent in mine yet, but have no fear I am working on it this very moment. :D

I'm still fumbling with which pictures to pick. Sadly, 2.4 is messing up with the time to take the pictures. So much content to go through! :)

Is anyone else working on Round 2? I'm really struggling with trying to make something work. I have so many "almosts", but FF always seems to be lacking that one item that can really bring the outfit together >.<

I don't evny you guys with doing this right on top of 2.4~ props to ya'll! I can't wait to see your shots. :3

I have a few ideas, just finding the perfect scenery to match the scene for the character is a little tricky. It's also sucky trying to perfect the outfit. I really hope people get who and where I'm referencing ><

I have an idea, but the character is such an obvious choice I'm afraid many others will pick it too. So I'm mulling it over, trying to see what else I can come up with.

I have this issue and Adeline's issue as well D= I have two ideas, one which is more obvious so I'm afraid others will do it too, and the other isn't as obvious but I'm afraid people won't catch it >.< It doesn't help that my outfits are more like "It's almost right" instead of spot on. This one is making me struggle more than I anticipated.

I just realized, are we allowed to talk about this stuff in public? o.o; Too late I guess lol.

I've just uploaded my first picture. Tyriont, could you let me know if everything is as it should be? I've never used dropbox before so I'm worried that I didn't do it right.

Oh good question, I'll shush for now just in case. xD

If my character were still a midlander I would of had a awesome idea ;-; /dramaticfalltothegroundcry

I'm gonna throw this out there and say try not to give away the theme of the rounds you are discussing. Of course, you are free to lament and commiserate here all you want.

I will also say about round 2, don't get discouraged. It can be done. :)

Ok lol now that the spoiler is fixed, yeah I had a really difficult time trying to figure out what I was going to do for round 2's theme, then I looked at a vanity set I already use on my WAR and it struck inspiration! I think I found the perfect setting, and "theme" as well for what I wana do for it, the only issue I have is one item for the over all look. It doesn't exist in Eorzea lol, so I'm hoping with what I have to work with it will transition ok enough everyone will know what it is. GL to you though, it was a challenge trying to figure out what to do for round 2 @.@ even considering I make it into round 2 lol

YT News:

Our Roe lady has been chosen! Photoshoot lists have been sent out! Woooo!

I'm sending emails to those I have, but I am still missing Round 1 shots from the following people:

Adeline Urusa
Itaru Karin
Miki Hoshi
Rhaya Relenah
Ronin Woofcub

You still have 12 hours before the deadline, but I still wanted to post a reminder!

Ronin, I still haven't ever received an e-mail from you, so -please- get in touch with me! If I haven't heard from you by the deadline, an 'understudy' will be offered that place. The address once more is EorzeasNTMTyriont@gmail.com

Tehe this time 1000x! :D

Finishing up mine soon, will be sure to finish before deadline :D

Gosh, I am just going to stick with the shot I have uploaded... This is so much harder being a contestant and coming up with ideas! Can we link to "alternate pictures" in this thread once voting starts to share other images which didn't quite cut it, and bloopers, for fun?

I have a great idea for Round 2... Let's see if I can pull it off...

Absolutely! Some of the most fun last time came from seeing the blooper shots that didn't work for whatever reason, and eliminated models posting the shots that would have gone up too.

And people who didn't enter! Consider it the "ENTM Home Version" :D The more shots we get to drool over, the better!

Ugh I'm deciding between 2 shots. They're different and have both strengths and weaknesses :( this is so hard

I'm already working on round 2, and I have to say my skin-tone is not being a friend to me that round. XD Jinx has always prided himself for his healthy, bronze tan....and now he's like '...DAMN IT!' because there's so few things he can pull off, 'cause that skin tone just ruins it.
