OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Wings]

11:59 pm on the 7th is a lot less ambiguous than midnights, because...obviously there's the debate on what day that midnight is. <3

Ooo, I like that idea. Makes it so much clearer. I usually use the emailed schedule, since there are just too many posts in this thread to find anything XD Wouldn't have it any other way, though ♥ So many pages of screenshot love!

There are both upsides and downsides to shortening the voting time in order to let people use the critique they get. On the one side, you have a chance to re-shoot, on the other, less time for forum readers to participate...
I'm okay either way, just don't change that deadline day, please X3 *last minute-cat*

Went through my screenshot folder and made this >_>

ROFL! Fitting

RP characters get a voice of their own after a while, and when you displease the beast, you hear about it. Loudly. For days.

How well I know your pain... I don't RP any of my FFXIV chars, but I've done RPing and writing before, and they have a rather insistant voice of their own!


Sienna - Don't be disappointed! I'm not sure if we're allowed to pick what-if-i-could votes as participants, but this IS after the fact and I'd like to tell you that yours was one of my absolute favourites.


Rongi - I'll see if I can squeeze in yet another alt As for Skype, I don't know if I should or not! I'm already having trouble dividing my focuse between making huge forum posts, linkshells, FC- and partychats, and doing overly complicated screenshoots - so I'm not sure how I'd be able to keep up with an outside chat too XD While at the same time... Peeeeopleeeee!


Regarding harshness of critique, I haven't read all of the judges' ones, so what I'm about to say isn't solely based on those:
I think it's a very fine line to walk - you want to give constructive feedback, which isn't always fluffy-nice, without being so harsh you kill off someone's creativity. That's something I dislike about the early seasons of ANTM, and some other shows too, that judges sometimes seemed to say things as brutally as possible for the shock effect and entertaining the audience. Later seasons have been toned down and though there are opinions like "this bores me", they also give the models something to build on, giving the judging segment a lot more depth. So, is the critique for the readers or the screenshotters? Since individual tolerance level is just that, individual, you can't really make a template of this is okay to say an this isn't. But it's a good thing to keep in mind =)

Oh, I wish your friends had showed up for the prime time one. I much prefer that one. I liked your shot but didn't vote for you as I felt it was too dark, especially with your skin tone.

Ah well, that's water under the bridge now I picked the one I did because the sun minion still worked for making us visible, and I still like it very much personally, but I fully understand the critique people had about the lighting and agree with them. Hopefully I can do better next time!
