Eorzea's Next Top Model - Round 10v2 (New Round 10...hehehe ^^;)

This round is over! Please do not post in this thread!




Now for another totally biased round of Eorzea's Next Top Model (C2)!

Last round, 7 Models mounted up.
Unfortunately Vahn's Ahriman took him to a far away magic kingdom where models and judges don't fight and no one ever gets eliminated.

Now, 6 models remain.

*que fog horn*

This round, we finished a dungeon and it's time to fight the bosssssss!
Our models were tasked with a free style battle shot against any boss in the game (including dungeons, FATEs, and Hunts). Everything was up to the model.

Let's see their best shots.

Fan and Model Bulletin
After 2 incredibly successful cycles here on the Official Forums, I want to try this contest in a different media. While I focus on the new Youtube version, I am incredibly excited to announce Eorzea's Next Top Model's Next Top Host!

Tyriont will be taking over for me as Host beginning in Cycle 3 (Both the girls and boys version)! He has some incredible photoshoot ideas and plans on bringing a new breath of life into the series. I can't wait to see what pictures are produced next Cycle!

I will finish out my hosting duties with Cycle 2, and youll still see me on the Girl's Judging Panel for Cycle 3, as well as in the Discussion Thread and Casting Call thread as I look for models to compete in the YT Cycle.

After Cycle 3 and Cycle YT, I am hoping to have enough interested models to hold an All-Stars version for all past models, so past models, look forward to that! ^^ (My goal is to have at least one All stars competition before I graduate University in May and officially end my "contract" with ENTM, so make my dreams come true models!! :D)

Casting Calls for Cycle 3 and Cycle YT will begin soon, so please be on the look out for Tyriont's thread! There will be information on Cycle YT as well, so if you are interested in experimenting in a new media with me please write in your audition post that you are applying for both Cycle 3 AND Cycle YT! ((This will be an all girls Cycle just like Cycle 1 was. Sorry boys.))

Keep the chat and clutter to a minimum by talking about the competition in this thread

1. Kurri - Jesus christ, lady, you scared me with your picture. Just love it, the pose, the expression...it kinda looks like you shocked Ramuh to death. "Haha, you think you can control Thunder? Watch this."
2. Ciara - Love the expression and the caught pose, like you're spanking a little dog off your shoulder. In this case, it's quite a big dog you managed to push away.
3. Jayzan - I'm not sure if you intended it or not, but I love the double meaning at going up against a tree with an Axe. The fact that the tree is staring at you makes it even better.

Why I didn't pick the other 3
Tinsley - Great action pic, love the pose. Could have made it instead of Jayzan....if I could actually see the mob facing you. Instead, it kinda looks like you're posing with a chocobo against the side of a giant coral formation (I know its the Crab).
Maxwell - The lighting is a bit dim, and both you as well as the mob were both quite...camouflaged that it took my eyes a bit to focus on the two of you. Otherwise, nice pose and background as well.
Yunie - Kinda a bit disappointing, I was expecting an actual battle shot rather than a pose. I get what you're going for, but I expected something a bit more impactful, after all it was meant to be a battle shot, and you don't look at all battle-ready.

long time follower first time voter :D

1. Maxwell: super back-flip type of dodge is super cool. too bad the Naul wasn't flame throwing...to show you really dodged something.
2. Jayzan: it's really the battle not just posting (like old 007 all hair well groomed after super fights) and that tree grabing thing is cool timing (woot go big Roe you are picking it up) (but...your char is too small like last lightning one I can't see your red pirate hat! if you move your camera a bit then you will be #1 for me last lightning shot I am very tempted to do my first vote just for you... background is important but it's a modeling contest :O )
3. Ciara: enough special effect and didn't make your "model" blur


for other models, ya it's not a boss "battle" or the special effect are too strong that I can't see anything.

edit... hmm... Tinsey, I finally see the boss's location... not on the left side... I keep thinking which boss is that... then I found out it's your chocobo's ass... 1/3 and most important position (front) in the shot is your chocobo :O

^^Hello again!
I hope everyone is doing well!
Here are my top three!

Ciara
Kurri
Yunie

Keep up the good work you guys! ^_^
Your pictures keep getting harder and harder to vote for!>_<

Ciara
Maxwell
Tinsley

Ciara
Jayzan
Kurri

Ciara: That angle is perfect! The sharpness and amount of detail including the blue background and red theme going on with your gear is just too good!! oyes the animation too xD
Jayzen: Dat close up, dat angle, dat intensity o.o
Kurri: Feels like you're the one finishing him off with that attack/spell!
perfect angle + perfect animation~

Maxwell: Needs a little lighting/color contrast somewhere! Anywhere!
Tinsely: I think you were going at some crab but from that angle it seemed like you were going after the armor mount :P
if the mount was facing you- it would've made much more sense.. love your animation!
Yunie: Cute! But I don't get the choice of gear? The background or theme? Also, not much going on compared to every other submission... I don't sense epicness x:


Edit: Great pix everyone love this round, much better ~
xoxo

Now, finally I'm able to vote again...
First you raised the post-count to 10 so I got those 10 then to 15 and when I had those 15 to 20, I was almost expecting that this round it would be 25 xD
I'm the type to lurk in forums and not write many posts D:

Ciara: great action shot, the gear, pose, background and effect fit perfectly together.
Maxwell: It looks like you're trying to avoid his attack by jumping out of the way, I like that! Nice action and timing.
Jayzan: Yours hasn't got the "dark" feeling like most others. It's more like "I went into the shroud to cut some wood and it decided to hit back". I just wish that you had shown more of your character and not just the back.

The other 3:
Kurri: The effects are great but why are you facing the camera and soooo far away from the boss? It feels like you're trying to fight the one taking the picture and not Ramuh.
Yunie: It's a too bland in my opinion.
Tinsley: That chocobo! It's distracting and takes the focus from you and the boss.
