Eorzea's Next Top Model - Cycle 3 Round 2

Welcome back, ENTM fans! We're off to a brilliant start, with some amazin' work comin' out of our models in th'first round. Sadly someone had t'leave, an' Ferah has been pressed int'continued service with th'Maelstrom. Adam would be joinin' her...but alas, it appears BOTH Rho an' Sera must've gotten eaten by a Goobbue or somethin', since they've both fallen right off th'face of th'world an' didn't get an entry in for round two...meanin' Adam gets another chance! So, let's move on t'round two!

Now, introducin' a brand new feature t'Eorzea's Next Top Model. We're to sit down with one o' the survivin' models each week an' get to know 'em a little better. Startin' off is th'one who came up with th'idea in th'first place - th'wonderfully talented Sangriah! I'd recorded our interview on a linkpearl, so let's hear what she had t'say...

=============================================================

Tyriont: Welcome, Sangriah! Thanks for givin' me some o' your time. First off, is there any particularly interestin' story as t'how you came t'be named th'way you are?

Sangriah: I have no idea of the origins of my name. I am unsure of what my full surname is. I was born into a family that maintained the old nomadic ways but this unfortunately lead us too close to the Garleans who spared me on the pretense that my young mind was still malleable enough to be corrected to their way of thinking.

OOC: Sangriah is the name I gave my character in FFXI. I started as a Red Mage and wanted a name that reflected my affection for the color. All the names I thought of were taken so I went with my favorite red wine: Sangria and added an “h” on the end to make it more of a name and not just an item. In 1.0 her name was Sang Riah. It’s a weird thing be bothered by but I didn’t like all the NPC’s being so informal and calling her Sang like they all knew her. When ARR launched I added the V’ to commemorate an old nickname from FFXI: Lady V.

Tyriont: An' a beautiful name it is, regardless! Now, when you ain't modelin', how d'you prefer t'spend your days around Eorzea?

Sangriah V': I wander. My affinity to Oschon is very strong and the wanderlust cannot be denied. I do get called back often by the Atecedent. Minfilia’s a linkpearl abuser >.< She slipped me a venture after my last errand.

OOC: I’m pretty slow to clear content. Mostly I just hang out and play dress up. Sang is the Barbi I didn’t play with as a child.

Tyriont: Aye, have t'wonder why she doesn't just talk to someone over th'pearl rather'n callin' 'em back jus' t'talk at 'em anyways. So what made you choose t'enter the ENTM contest?

Sangriah V': Wandering aimlessly has a way of putting you on a path even if you don’t know it. I am always right where I’m supposed to be. I saw a flyer for ENMT up at Baderon’s and thought by Thal’s balls, why not!? I’m also hoping that if I manage to win, someone out there just may recognize me…maybe a relative. Someone who can tell me more about the people I came from.

OOC: I stumbled across Xev’s tumblr account: http://whm-sical.tumblr.com/ while looking at a new follower of my own http://m1-sange.tumblr.com/ Coincidentally she had just made a post about her entry into the contest. I was a fan of the show during its first few years and since I love to take screenshots, I figured I’d give it a try.

Tyriont: Got a fittin' question for a wanderin' soul like yourself up next. Where's your favourite place in all o'Eorzea?

Sangriah V': My favorite place in all of Eorzea is at Eirwen Mackenzie’s side. Eorzea has many wonders to behold but they are best witnessed with a partner. Our special place is Oschon’s Torch.

OOC: The Howling Eye. Either hard or extreme. I love the music in there and the tank coordination. I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t implement a lower ilvl cap on the hard mode since so much of the fight mechanics are being lost due to OP players burning through everything.

Tyriont: Ain't that sweet? Going t'bring a tear to this sea dog's eye. Now then, a bit o' a challenge for you...what's your story, in th'form of a haiku?

Sangriah V': Wildwood to the core.
Free to roam Eorzea.
Wisdom must be earned.

Tyriont: Nicely done! One last question 'fore I let you go. If you could choose one person t'be grand ruler of all o' Eorzea, who would it be?

Sangriah V': Those who wish to rule only seem to crave destruction; Van Darnus and Ultima, the coming whispers of Omega. We are constantly seeking revolution from those who rule over us. We should all seek to rule over our own hearts and be responsible for our own piece of Eorzea. She belongs to us all.

Tyriont: Now there's a hell of an answer! Thanks for your time lass, an' good luck with th'rest o' the contest.

=============================================================

Hopefully the lot o' you enjoyed that lil' interlude! Come back next week when we get t'know another o' our wonderful models. But enough o' my blatherin' on...you're here for round two!

Rules are th'same as before. I need each o' you to go through an' pick our your favourite Four models from each o' the lists. That's four men, an' four women. No pickin' the same person twice, that doesn't count! T'round closes at midnight (EST) on Wednesday, November 12th, at which point votin' scores will be combined with judges scores t'determine who goes home! Th'same ten post minimum is still in effect.

Now then, as I mentioned at th'beginnin'...we're in th'unfortunate situation of havin' already lost two male contestants. After some discussion, it's been decided that in order to bring things back in line, this week there will be -no- contestant eliminated from th'male side, havin' already lost our second contestant by default. However, I should still like t'ask everyone t'vote for th'men anyways so as they get a better idea of how t'improve an' see how they're all doin'!

ENTM Cycle 3 Round 2

Here's what th'round description this time was...

"Cosplay. From anything! Game, movie, TV show, book, anime, whatever you wish. We should be able to tell who you are just by looking though!"

Men's Contest Round 1

Remember, choose 4 from the men's contest and 4 from the women's contest, then post your choice! An' given th' theme of this round, please remember not to jus' vote on a character you like bein' portrayed - we're not just lookin' for accurate renditions, we're lookin' for the best overall shots!

An' models, no, you can't vote in th'contest unless you get eliminated!

Only votin' in this thread, if you'd be so kind! Come join us over at th' Official Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion thread t'talk about th'round an' share your own shots!

Male:
Epsil Ion

ppl's names are so hard to type...

Please note, the character name and source are captioned on each entry! Remember, view the shot as a whole, not just which character you like/recognize.

Women:
Iris Dawnshade
Sakuraya Kai
Miki Hoshi
Rhaya Relenah

Men:
Epsil Ion
Fate Lhas
Marik Destiel
Adam Fylrmyn

Holy crazy this was a tough round to choose, each were great tbh, just some of course stood out higher than others.

Here is my top 4 female models

Eirwen Mackenzie - I was a super fan of Xena back in the day, and to see someone do Gabrielle is kinda rare, this was a really good shot and good use of items/props. Simple flowing meadow but you added to it, good job.

Overlord Rikkustrife - The super amazing thing about this is, if you died your hair white you could have easily said Pirotess from Records of Lodoss War as well. I was a lil confused on the choice of scenery but then thought maybe its suppose to be the weapon x facility, so if that's the case, good work, if not, pay extra attention to backgrounds for future rounds ^_^

Rhayah Relenah - this was superb, I am actually a bit flabbergasted on how you created the depth/sizing in this shot on an overall whole. 3 stars, 1 extra for a throwback Saturday cartoon!

Sakuraya Kai - pure gold, Yda is such a fun character in the story to follow, and the attention to detail in this photo pays off (was a close call with Miki Hoshi) what put this one on top was having the extra lil help of a certain lalafell :cool: Well done overall.

Top 4 Male models

Epsil Ion - this was truly marvelous, I really don't see how you could get any closer with the items available in game, I especially enjoyed the background of the stained glass window, it added some major class to this photo, well done sir!

Flare Raulbel - once again, a fun shot making the most use of current releases of the game, this simply would not have worked without the tea set being available, I am sorta on the fence about the background not expressing more madness! But good choice overall.

Jinx Fireboot - There is a lot to be said about anyone wanting to cosplay as Edward Wang Hwe Pepel Cybulski the 4th, and I think that says it :P What made this shot work was A the pup and B the lighting, it gave it that more Mars feel with the red sky, so good thinking !

Marik Destiel - Yes, its not a crossbow, but its fine really ^_^, this was a cool idea, a few things that would really have amped this up was having it be a bit darker (for mood) and maybe a corpse on the ground, but still this works and I enjoyed it, what is really cool is I will see if I can get Norman Reedus to sign this photo instead of one of his in the next couple weeks at my wizardworld, if that is ok with you? And if I do of course I will upload a photo of it :D

Females:

Lowena Fae
Overlord Rikkustrife
Iris Dawnshade
Sakuraya Kai

Males:

Epsil Ion
Flare Raubel
Fate Lhas
L'yhan Nunh

Women:
Iris Dawnshade
Sakuraya Kai
Miki Hoshi
Rhaya Relenah

Men:
Epsil Ion
Fate Lhas

First off thank you soooo much for this! I appreciate the feedback greatly. Yes, I tried so many times to get corpses or fighting actual undead but those shots did not want to work with me >.<, anyways I would not be insulted in the least bit if you could get Norman Reedus (I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!) to sign my screenshot, and yes! You better post it :D

Wow this round so creative. I'm gonna say- L'yhan Nunh YOU ARE AMAZING lol, got some balls putting that on but I lurv it!

Women:
Eirwen Mackenzie
Kaiyoko Star
Lowena Fae
Rhaya Relenah

Men:
Adam Fylrmyn
L'yhan Nunh
Flare Raulbel
Jinx Fireboot

Male
1. L'yhan Nunh: Great posing, great lighting, great angles, great expression, and we can see who the character is?! Great picture.
2. Epsilon Ion: Very nice posing and lighting. Teleporting always looks pretty. My only critique is that I wish you were doing something a little more Irvine-y.
3. Flare Raulbel: Very nice expression. My only critique is that you have a picture quality problem, it looks very pixely. D:
4. Fate Lhas: Very nice use of skin color and your race's sitting pose (I always hated that I couldn't sit on the ground). The atmosphere is also very nice. My only critique is that if the name wasn't at the bottom, I would have had a hard time figuring out who you were. I think the clothing is a bit too loose for Nightcrawler (I've only ever seen him in more form fitting clothing, minus the live-action movie).

Female
1. Xev Bellwyn: Very nice posing, angles, lighting, scenery, and use of an extra. Your costume is very spot on.
2. Rhaya Relenah: Great use of your skin color and of forced perspective! A very cute idea.
3. Kaiyoko Star: Nice body angle, posing, lighting, and scenery. I've never played LoL, so I have to go by what I can google, and I think your costume is very good.
4. Lowena Fae: Great posing and I like the sick-ish green lighting. I can also tell instantly who you were. My only critique is that I wish you were a smidge to the right, you're too centered and being able to see more of the Morbol behind you would have added to the shot, I think.

Edit: I change one person out. I hope no one noticed. >w>()

Critiques for the remaining (I'm gonna try and not be too critical this time >x> )

Female
5. Adeline Urusa: Very nice costume and use of extras. It's an overall cute picture and idea. However, if the name below didn't say you were Garnet, I would have thought you were the Lala playing Eiko, she is outshining you! D:
6. Sakuraya Kai': Nice costume, scenery, pose, and us of extra. My only critiques is that compared to the 5 above you, this one is a little dull. Maybe a little more interaction with your extra? (Not too much though).
7. Miki Hoshi: Nice pose and expression. And I can tell who you're dress as. However, for a more dynamic picture, I think you shouldn't have been so centered and straight-forward with the camera. Also, I know the judges love the extra lighting from the Sun minion but I think it's a little too harsh in this picture.
8. Sangriah V': I haven't seen that many episodes of Star Trek to know this character but judging by the pictures I found on google, your costume seems sound (maybe you could have gone for a more honey-colored hair, but that's nit-picking). Your pose and expression are interesting but the picture is kind of boring... >x>()
9. Overlord Rikkuustrife: Great cosplay and use of skin, However, you aren't doing anything! D: The outfit is wearing you when you should be wearing the outfit.
10. Eirwen Mackenzie: I'm sorry Eirwen but were outshined by Xev here. If I didn't see the name at the bottom, I would have thought you were Laura Craft. D: Still, nice body angles.
11. Iris Dawnshard: A very cute cosplay (although I see it a lot on Lalas). I only wish we were closer to you and that you weren't so centered in this picture. As it is, it looks like just a screenshot to me. D:

Male
5. Ronin Woofcub: Nice use of class skills and expression. My only critique is that I wish we had better lighting on you, you're kind of fading into the background a little, and that you weren't so centered.
6. Sienna Moonlux: Nice angles and use of class skills. Your costume is a smidge off with hair color though. Also, I think this is a lost opportunity, not using a Blizzard spell. Blizzard II and Freeze can both be used freely, without the need of a target.
7. Marik Destiel: Your posing is nice and your outfit is as IRL as we can get in this game but I can't help but feel that this was a wasted opportunity for a more bleaker and/or darker setting. Maybe a more darker place in the forest would have been better?
8. Adam Fylrmyn: You're outfit is okay but your hair doesn't do the character justice (pun intended). The lighting is nice and you are doing the character iconic pose, however, this picture is a bit boring compared to the others above it. Some humor from the series this is from might have helped it.
9. Aiden Weaver: I'm sorry but I can't tell what is going on here and I love Bob's Burgers. D: I guess your costume is as good as it could get, without being able to get a shorter skirt. And your lighting is antiquity... >A>()
10. Jinx Fireboot: I'm sorry but you're blending way too much into the background in this picture. D:

I know I say that people are "too centered" in pictures a lot but asymmetry is always a great way to make a picture more dynamic and to make the eye dance.

in order of accuracy

Women:

• Sakyraya Kai (Yda): Most accurate IMO...except for the ears
• Lowena Fae (Posion Ivy): Ears again, but 100% accurate otherwise
• Miki Hoshi (Tifa Lockheart): Accurate except the ears
• Overlord Riitsuke (Mystyque): As she is a shapeshifter the ears actually could make sense

Men:

• Epsil Ion (Irvine Kress): Most accuarate IMO, and unlike Lightning or Snow the outfit was made from scratch!
• Fate Lahs (Nightcrawer): Elezen would had been better for the ears but I digress
• Aiden Weaver (Tina Belcher): Having limited knowedge of Bob's Burfurs, i still find this hilarious
• Marik Desteel (Daryl Dixon): I have no comment other then... it's accurate

Inaccuracies I noticed that lead to me not picking the following:

• Adam: OBJECTION! Phoenix isn't Blonde!
• Adeline: On the one hand, I haven't played IX so I don;t know how tall the characters are. On the other hand I know enought to point out that the hair and height is closer to Eiko's
• Sangriah: You do know Silver dye exists right? (not that like the above poster I haven't seen Star Trek that often)

Honorable mentions would be Iris, Rhaya, L'yahn, Eirwen, Jynx, Adeline and Flare. And yes I'm aware that my votes went mostly to Mi'quotes

I know, but at the time I thought we couldn't use the Aesthetician (nor Fantasias) unless specified otherwise as it was mentioned somewhere in the previous cycles. In which case, by the time I remembered to ask, it was too late to change my submission. xD

Do you mean Adeline's hair and height are closer to Eikos? um... I don't see that. Eiko is short. Adeline is the Miqo'te. The Lalafel is indeed meant to be Eiko.

Men:

Yeah, this is really tough.

Women's

Eirwen Mackenzie

Men's
Aiden Weaver

Flare Raulbel
Marik Destiel

Edit: While I voted for Adeline Urusa I later realised she is not the Lalafell in the picture, my vote's therefore changed to Xev Bellwyn.

Lowena - That expression is simply priceless, the lighting, the pose and the outfit is stunning!! My favorite submission this round x10
Overlord - I love it, very simple yet very very creative, although knowing mystique.... I think you should've aimed to look sassy, kind of...
Rhaya - Haha so cute, this is just a masterpiece. It is my 2nd favorite!
Kaiyoko - The stage setting is lovely!

Flare - Creative and funny, I just don't like the color tones or the sharpness, it's weird..
L'yhan - I bought this.. I hope prince-senpai notices you!
Ronin - OMG haha good one!
Sienna - You have a very cute character, also, I think gray would've taken off his pants...... you know? =P


My top 3 are underlined!

Sorry it was late at night and I thought the lala was Aeline. I didn't get a chance to see the contestants outside the imgur links so I had trouble telling who was who in that picture

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET LALAS TO HELP, THEY STEAL THE SHOW :<

Jk, but yeah Garnet (who I'm trying to portray) is a 16 year old girl, while Eiko is the little 6 year old girl with purple hair. Saddens me though you don't know much about FFIX. It's an awesome game and actually got me into the FF series. I guess what I was trying to portray in my pic was the ideal of a happy family, as that was the vibe I got when Zidane/Garnet/Eiko/Vivi were together C:

Anyways let us not have my rambling interrupt the votes.

IT'S AMAZUHHHHHH, I can't wait for it to come out on steam so I can replay it :3

I wanted to choose everyone's >.>; but I'll say what I liked about the ones I chose :D

Females:
Lowena Fae - Oh my... that malboro seriously adds that dangerous touch to the picture!
Overlord Rikkustrife - The place you chose for your background fits your character very well!
Rhaya Relenah - I didn't see the hand on the right side of the picture at first, but it scared me when I did! Really like how you set that up to show the "size difference".
Sangriah V' - The pose and facial expression match very well with the picture as a whole!

Males:
Aiden Weaver - I was not expecting something from Bob's Burgers! You really caught the weirdness of Tina! X'D
Epsil Ion - This SERIOUSLY brings back memories of Final Fantasy VIII. Your picture is indescribable to me. *^*
Fate Lhas - The foggy, ominous weather gives the picture a very nice effect!
Marik Destiel - Really like the outfit choice and markings on the face! Gives off a survival feeling. :O

Women:
Iris Dawnshade
Lowena Fae
Overlord Rikkustrife
Miki Hoshi

Men:
Fate Lhas
Flare Raulbel
Marik Destiel

On the whole, a job well done this week. I would've preferred it if we had reference pics to look at next to these. v.v; It was a bit inconvenient googling reference pics and I ended up mostly voting for cosplays that I'm familiar with.

Sadly I'm going to have to agree I wish there were references posted, looking everyone up because I didn't know who the character was didn't really help.

Great costumes but this time around a lot of the pictures the only interesting thing in them was the character.


My votes:

Males:

Fate Lhas - great atmosphere, I really like the lighting and the setting. Awesome screenshot.

Jinx Fireboot - I think you captured the character really well. Picture was really dynamic and interesting to look at too.

Epsil Ion - Kudos for the lighting/costume. Spot on. Only problem was your background really confused me are you..laying on a glass window?

Sienna Moonlux - Lovely shot/idea. I would've preferred you turned to the other side though because you're missing the character's tattoo and that's pretty obvious.


Womens:

Rhaya Relenah - This entire picture is just awesome. You've made me a believer and a smurf fan.

Lowena Fae - Instantly knew who you were. Love everything and that look on your face is perfect.

Overlord Rikkustrife - I like the cosplay a lot, good job. Need a little more light on you next time though.

Iris Dawnshade - Cute! Easily recognizable and the entire picture is interesting!

Male:

Epsil Ion: Recognized immediately. Good job.
Flare Raulbel: That is too awesome. So cute. :D
Marik Destiel: Good choice. Go Daryl!!
L'yhan Nunh: I'm a sucker for crossdressers! JK nice job :D


Female:

Iris Dawnshade: Awesome Job!

Lowena Fae: I am not a big comic fan but this is a very good interpretation. Well Done.

Sakuraya Kai: Nice job!! If I wasn't told, I could believe these were the npcs. :)

Miki Hoshi: Good job! I knew who you were suppose to be without looking at caption.

Agreed, However had to choose, make the shot I wanted using Minfilia as Alice or make it brighter with the sun minion. I took the risk, just hope it pays off in the long run. :)

So excited to be able to vote now~
First of all I want to say everyone's cosplay choices were amazing! Wish I could pick more than 4 of each! ;____; And also in no way do I know what I'm talking about with lighting and such, I'm just talking about how I see the picture as appealing~

First the women: (not in any particular order!)
1. Lowena Fae: This was a beautiful shot ^-^ The flower on the wrist was a nice touch and the setting gave an extra umph to who the character is~
2. Rhaya Relenah: The way you angled the shot was perfect~ I really like how you put the other person so close to the camera to make your character look so small. The mushrooms were also a nice touch :3
3. Miki Hoshi: I really love how your fist is the focus of the shot, it draws the attention right to you
4. Xev Bellwyn: Although you're not the only character in the picture, my eyes immediately draw to you (I'm not quiet sure why this is, the contrast of colors maybe?) but I love it~

Guys turn~: (again not in any specific order)
1. L'yhan Nunh: I really loved the setting for this shot, it was the perfect time of day with great colors :3 I also liked the ship in the background, it also covered the sun a bit, which i liked as well (My eyes normally focus on bright colors so I'm glad I wasn't distracted XD).
2. Marik Destiel: This is a wonderful shot! I love how the lighting reflects off of your skin in a way that makes it look kind of dirty (kind of like the face paint). I like how the shadows also give a dark feel to the shot, but the light on the grass helps contrast that a bit.
3. Fate Lhas: I'm a fan of night shots, and I really think this atmosphere works for the character you went with. It's hard working with this area at night, because of the purple and blue haze it gives, but I think that you worked that to your benefit :3
4. Sienna Moonlux: I like the environment you picked for this shot, I also like that you used umbrel ice to contribute to the theme :3 although the lighting is a little low, I think it works well for the look you were going for ^-^


I wish everyone the best of luck! :3

HOLY SHIT BATMAN~POOWW! WHOA TO MANY AWSOME SS COSPLAY
I VOTE ALL OF THEM TO PASS ROUND 3 ;D I WISH!

just 4 onry
4 DA LADIES:
Lowena Fae-JUST DON'T POISON MY HEART! OPS TO LATE.
Miki Hoshi-FIGHT CLUB! first rule, DON'T MAKE TIFA ANGRY.
Sakaraya Kai-THIS IS THE CUTIEST COUPLE IN FFXIV, THEY NEED TO GET MARRIED SOON.
Xev Bellywn-FFXIV THE ADVENTURE OF XENA AND GABRIELLE REBORN!

4 DA PIMPS:
Fate Lhas-How did you up there??? OHH NVM!
Flare Raulbel-TEA PARTY AND MAKE LOVE ANYONE?
Marik Destiel-REMEMBER TO THIS DAYZ, CAN'T TRUST ANYONE!
Ronin woofcub-ACE BURN THEM ALL, THE GOVERNMENT LA NOSCEA DOWN!!!

Your lighting was fine.
By the quality, I meant that it looks like there are hard, pixel edges on your face. Did you crop the picture? That could have messed with your picture quality a little. Cropping is good for get the positioning you want and to get rid of excess space but next time, you might want to have a picture that is zoomed in a bit more, so then there is more data for the crop to work with.

Nope, took the picture on my laptop. At the time it was what I had to play the game. Runs on lower quality than my PC.
