Sigh no one is listening,

The point was that you can not say omg this picture is dark give it a 0 and the very next picture be pretty must identical for color/brightness concerns and give it a 2.....

This has absolutely nothing to do with any specific model, this is a judging issue. One I thought I clearly pointed out 4 pages ago that somehow has gone over every ones heads. Due to misreading or something I dunno at this point.

As I stated I know people arent professionals at this, it was merely originally stated that if you are judging to be extra careful on how you judge. Since we are capable of seeing the actual feedback from the judges themselves, they have to make sure, that all i's are dotted and t's crossed. I was bringing this issue up now so it wouldn't be an issue 6 shoots in. I don't want us to go into a fiasco of going wait are we counting people with 10 posts or 20 posts, are we 80% crystals or not type of thing again, cause quite frankly I still think all of those issues threw the last cycle for a big loop of crazy, id rather us not have that kind of thing again.

Oh my heavens, round 2 simply takes my breath away. You all serious killed it. I want to write like a 5 page essay on why each and every one of you is wonderful. The colors, the angles, the creativity! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!



This is one time I'm glad not to be a voter cause I don't there's no way I could only choose 4.

Yay it's out! And can I just say that my first thought looking through all of them was "Oh my god, I am so f'ed." Seriously, awesome round and costumes this week! Good luck to everyone!

So many good shots :O I'm scared, /waits for axe to drop

I kinda wish I had picked a different shot now ;;

[PureEclipse]

I wont lie but this was a tough round to go through, I felt overall that everyone had some cool ideas and some less showcased cosplays going on than normal, I think from a overall standpoint everyone hit the mark, just some were a bit heavier on the hitting, which is really good cause some of those heavier hitters were imo a bit weak on the first round, meaning they took notes and want to push it hard now.


Kudos to everyone this round regardless of win/loss

Time to reveal some of my adventures and misadventures throughout this round!

My first attempt was at Inuyasha, but at the end of the day I just did not like the costume.

I tried many different tops and bottoms, but nothing just really clicked for me. I think it was mostly the top that bothered me. I realized that anything anime or fantasy based that I wanted to do wasn't really going to satisfy me since I knew I would not be happy with the costumes.

My sister told me I should cosplay as Lucille Ball for a con, and then it struck me. I needed to cosplay something a bit sillier, and thus Tina was born!

And if there is one thing Tina likes, it's butts, so I needed to objectify Eorzea, and turn butts into props!

I had some gracious help from my Free Company, who dealt with my abuse for the sake of art. I got some awesome shots, but unfortunately they were at night (which seemed a tad out of place), and the angle I needed to use kind of left the right side a little boring

After a bit of trying to touch his butt, another FC mate showed up to help me with another idea. This time, I wanted to try a more confident Tina

But it just ended up being kind of silly to look at. A thumbs up while trying to have her normal "Uhhhhhhh" face going on? Clashed a little too much, and just didn't make a whole lot of sense.

I got tired of abusing Free Company butts, so I moved on to NPCs! I traveled around a little, and found that NPC butts are generally at TERRIBLE heights, or way too clothed. Luckily, the Ala Mighans are tall, and generally wear tighter clothing. But that wasn't quite enough. I also had to use the Mini-Sun to aim my emotes!

Poke!

Slap!

Whoa there Tina, too forceful!

What? Who are you!? Stop filming!

After about 20 more attempts of slapping and poking, I had some interesting shots, but at the same time the setting just didn't sit with me right. The Belchers live on the sea dernit! back to my original spot!

Once again I pestered some FC mates, and got some new test subjects, and thus the entry was born! These two were particularly excited to help, and judged me FAR less than my first two FC mates xD


Finally, a chatlog screenshot that really examplifies the ridiculousness of it all

[KaiKatzchen]

lol so everything didn't always go perfect on my photo shoot, seems I was in the way of a poor person leveling (sorry!!! XD) ! So I had some fun with it... and did a bit of panicking and laughing! XD



Guess she wanted to be in my shot as well~! Maybe a contestant next round?! :3


lol so we ended up stopping, my lala friend healed her while she fought and we waited for her to finish.

Sigh no one is listening,

I assure you, Rongi and I are both paying close attention to the feedback and we'll use it to further improve the contest.

I assure you at least 2 people are listening.

Guys congratulations on making Round 2 one of the best rounds in ENTM History!!!!!! Seriously, these are awesome!
