OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

Oh noooo!!! That typo is so embarassing!!!! Hahahaha!!

I was helping an older couple with directions to the San antonio River Walk from Austin and it took longer than expected so i didn't reread my post 100% haha. Oopsie! Maybe itll draw in more voters (the grammar nazi ones! XDDDD)

Tyriont's photo is so funny!!! I think my reply when i recoeved it was haha x100.
Really nice shot Ronberku! And yes, The lalafels are KILLING it! Sooo glad. They have a lot to prove after Aila in Cycle 1.

I don't know how any of you can choose who to vote for in ANY of the categories, but especially those Female Roes! Yikes those are some beautiful shots!!!

Awesome job everyone! They all look wonderful!! ^^/

weee i get to post the 1st outtake of mine!!... i so loved this pose but i couldnt redo it where it looked the same without her arm in the face lol

Dammit how do I compete with that otherworldly glow that Kin has going on? Nuuuuuu lol. Lovely pics all.

Oh my gosh, everyone pictures are so good ._. Competition is fierce, yo. Poor Lala's can't compete with abs!

I think I'm gonna end up retaking my third pic just in case I make it through. I keep getting Ifrit as my Trial: Roulette and I feel like it's a sign it's not good enough ughhhh.

you're not alone, I'm losing cat fur. ;-; haha. very good pics I'm fighting against! nya ;;

Hi guys, sorry I am not on the forums much, I would like to say that everybody's photos are great.
Looking forward to the rest of the competition. I never thought I'd get this far, I'm going to have to up my game.

Thank you all and be lucky,
Jayzan

Oh gosh, I feel like I've made a horrible mistake. I wanted a shot that focused on scenery and didn't another mid shot but now I feel I completely missed the mark after seeing all the rest ;-;

I felt the same way Rho after i saw how people reacted initially to my photo. I hope you have better luck than i did. :D

Yeah, that's how I felt when I saw the pics from round one. I learned from it though and I'll be back for cycle 3. ^^

I really like your picture Rho. You can't under estimate the power of different. Plus I like that it conveys a message of how small and insignificant we are in comparison to nature. You're getting some votes too, so I wouldn't put on my worry pants on just yet.

Almost had 3 in the same place. Glad I changed to Gridania.

I'd show my previous submission and outtakes, but I might give the male elezen competition some ideas. So for now I'll keep them until I'm eliminated or if I'm really lucky, the only male elezen left.

---

Is anyone else extremely confused right now?

Are Soothing Ruby and Ronberku the same person?

I thought I was the only one experiencing confusion. :x

In any case, loving everyone's pictures! I can't wait for later rounds to start so I can see those too...

Will there be a tally at midnight? This is so exciting. *squeeeeee* :D

Sure, I can do unofficial tallies again!

Last time Male Roes had the best shot imo, and this time its Female Lalafell. Although my ultimate favorite across the board is of a male elezen :)

I actually voted for yours, it was different in a good way. Showed the scenery and you blended in well with it!

No we aren't but she is my cousin who I often hang out with during the weekend. And I let her use my pc to check on the forums. Seems like I failed to notice that I wasn't logged on my own account. Sorry for the confusion lol

I'll have to ask her later to remove that post.

I hope what you say is true... I'd hate to find out later you entered twice as different people. :\

Why don't you and your cousin play on the same server? -eyes you suspiciously-

I just got back Judge #3's scores and OUCH!!! She is the simon of this judging panel. Good luck everyone.

I did a /lookout so I could see if I actually had competition. Still looking :3c

=O I'm doin kinda good.

The First is personally one of my fav's that took for prelims. The second is my blooper contributions lol.

Things seemed to have progressed nicely in the past couple days. :) Glad to see round 2 is up and running! I wish I didn't have to withdraw, especially after the countless hours I put into shot 2 and 3, but hey the show must go on!

If there is one bright side it's that even though my membership ended and I can't take anymore shots...I believe I may be able to vote now since my access to the forums doesn't get cut off for another few weeks >:3 I'll leave that up to Rongi to decide though haha.

Congrats to everyone that made it to round 2 though, I wish you all the best! s( ^ _ ^)b

Of course you can vote!

And yeouch byooki! I know this isn't Eorzea's Next Best Friend but ouch!! Haha

How I feel when entering in the judge scores :3

I totally forgot I could technically be part of the bloopers section. xD

http://i.imgur.com/SYXYijU.png

While not so much of a blooper I got this while I was just clicking random emotes trying to find something that might fit nicely with the scenery, although I didn't end up choosing it for this round, it may or may not have inspired the pic I would have used for round 3 lol, gotta love that light bulb going off in your head feeling when you see something interesting and it gives you an idea. :o

Edit* Psssst Epsil one rule for this pic was that you couldn't be "in" the water, get out of the water before Rongi sees you! <.< >.> <.< >.> I'll keep a /lookout while you dry your boots, he'll never know!

Eek! *ninja edits*

Yeouch, I'm taking a beating.

I need find a way to summon all the primals at once and thin out the competition...

Youll learn real fast in this competition a top photo one week doesnt mean your safe the next. :( we all saw Kara go home after two top photos in cycle 1.

Ooooh will we ever find out what the judges say about the pictures?

/popcorn

I'm not too worried yet. We have a few days of voting to go.

I did manage to finish my initial round of photos for all the rounds of the contest last night though. (Well finished until I send in the inevitable resubmission..) Some of them are really striking. The "Whoa I took that? Wow." kind of striking.

After the official rounds start i will let the judges say their opinions. I don't want anyone quitting because "the judges are mean" or anything, so these first few rounds are just scores. ^^,,,

Oh wow it's that harsh? Now I'm even more intrigued...
Everybody loves drama when they aren't in it lol.

if you watched the show, some judges were hitting it at some candidates and made them cry. haha. It has to be FIERCE.

Oh no!! The comments arent that harsh!!! Haha. I just don't know what everyone's offense level is. Did you see that person flip out in the chocobo dye thread because someone said they should turn their choco into nuggets instead of pink? LOL. So, i just worry that if a judge says "its boring." Someone might get upset and quit.

They still can, but at least i'll have all the pics! xD

I think the worse comment so far has been "what were they thinking?!" So nothing too bad.

When my new laptop arrives i'll be recording a practice judging panel and if it goes well i will start doing it for the official rounds! ^^ though epsil said he couldn't do it, so itll just be me and the ither two judges and maybe a guest judge. If he sends in comments fast enough i can read em for him. We'll see how it goes. ^^

Any other models stressing over round 3 prelim? URGH!!! lol.

I'm second guessing every pic at this point. I get stuck between trying to take a modelling type shot, finding the perfect background and working with these limited emotes that dont make me look like i smell something bad. All i gotta say is there are far too many mad/frustrated, sad, crying, meanface emotes :p
