I entered in the forum version! Seems like it'll be fun.

Its been fun from my side of the competition for the past 4 cycles, so I am ready to experience it from the other side, even if only for one round! xD

*sees Arias' avatar* Looks like somebody is taking the Crystal Make Over photoshoots today!!! xDDDD Get your audition shots in mister man!

The Cycle 1 Winner video is...epic. I cannot stop watching it. xD And I am addicted to the Cycle 2 Reveal video's music.

Hey all... checking on the upcoming cycle

I was considering entering, but idk. Did I read somewhere that this cycle will be much shorter than the last?

Shorter than usual, yes. Mainly because of how close Heavensward release is from right now. It was either forego Cycle 4 till after Heavensward or, host it anyway before the release but have a shorter lifespan.

Cycle 4 is still up if you are interested. You can attempt to join that instead! And you still have a chance!

[starLivitation]

yes but i am not sure if i am to try again , i just lost and dont know what i did wrong. maybe if someone can help me out, did i do my scrreens in a bad way or something. is it worth it to try again? i dont know it seems i am doing something wrong.

I addressed one of your pictures that you submitted - in particular, this one;

From what I can tell, your submission was incomplete. Rules state that you are not allowed to use screenshots taken from cutscenes. As the loss sequence for the Steps of Faith is considered a cutscene, you are not allowed to use that. Again, no idea if that specific rule was changed, but it was present in Forum Cycle 3 and YouTube Cycle 1.

oh crap i didnt know about that o well. good luck to the others contestants who made it thru

[EorzeasNTM]

Everyone's pictures were great. Unfortunately I could only take 14 Models + Koriander. If you really want to be involved in ENTM you should audition for Cycle 4!

(Note: I also commented that it was okay you used a cut scene for your close up since this was just auditions. In the real contest cutscenes are not allowed.)

I'll try to give some constructive critique for you Levi...

battleshot: ( while lvling ! was durring the dungen, not the best view of my char but its me, i promise ! there is some battle effects! )

The action of this shot is nice, but some elements that make it a weaker shot are the framing and the heavy helmet on your head leaving your form lacking even the expression of hair from the backshot. If you had locked onto the target (Numpad 5 on the keyboard) you could have had an off-center shot at least.

scene shot: ( out side my house, i like hill view! )

Even though it's a "Scenic" shot, that doesn't mean you should be de-emphasized! Front and center like you are with most of you out of the picture is very underwhelming. You want to OWN the scene and add to the beauty of it using outfit choice and pose! Some scenics can have benefit from getting a friend to take the picture for you in first person mode so you can have an off-center shot.
