OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

I get that you're really excited for the competition, trust me I was bursting at the seams when I was auditioning for Cycle 3. But you're "criticisms" could be taken out of context, for example.

"PLUS maybe with my opinions others will try to step up their game on their shots!" Seems rather insult-ish towards me. So you feel you're already above everyone else, that only your opinion can make the rest of us "improve" better? Who are you to say exactly what needs to be improved, again only in auditions at the moment. The judges and Rongi would clearly have more insight, since they've already been through this process for much longer than most, if any of us (especially Rongi, since he created it.)

Everyone always has room for improvement, no one comes out being 100% best all the time. I would have plenty of down moments when I was trying for a perfect shot, plus most shots can be very subjective, because everyone will always have a difference in opinions. I've already been in a cycle once, and I always feel like I have much more room to grow and for improvement, I never think I'm "above" anyone else. I know coming into this I don't have 100% chance of even making the casting list for YT2. But I'm willing to give it my all, and show what I have learned from my past.

Already trying to give out "critics" when you haven't even participated yet, just feels a little too much at the moment. Maybe it's just me, and this is purely my opinion. I'm certainly not trying to I guess condone you or hate you. More of, I feel some things you said might lack some respect towards the other entries? I don't know...

On a much lighter note:

First 4 photos...

This excites me very much!! I can't wait to get started (I hope I get in, so I can have the opportunity to show off my shots!)

Who all has a say from the auditions?

That'd be me! *poses like he does in the Youtube Videos*

The fade out segment, introduction segment, etc. will all have different rules and such for Cycle 2, so please do not start working on those yet! ((Ive already written 75% of the Cast emails, but I have not finished the part for this section yet!))

I've also upped the Fan Voting Rounds from Rounds 1-6 to Rounds 1-7, so even more of the models images will be seen regardless of elimination status! ^^

Now I feel awful ;-;

Don't feel bad! Here on ENTM we try to be extremely positive at all times! Even in our critiques we aim to provide constructive criticism at all times. None of us are getting paid, so this is all on a volunteer system, so we try really hard to all get along and keep every one's spirits high. I've never been eliminated before, but I cant wait to be in Cycle 4 and experience it! xD But it's really hard, so we try to provide a positive environment for everyone.

Don't worry about it!
