OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[EorzeasNTM]

As far as Yunie's two pics I posted goes, I thought the later was well done, maybe it didn't seem like it came off that way.

Oh no, it did! ^^ I was just using her picture as part of the adorable is bad conversation. Even if it is adorable, it's a very well thought out picture!

And yes, we all know opinions are like booty holes! xD
In my opinion, and since so many voted for her in PR1 in their opinion too, it was a strong photo. Nice background, nice outfit, and the overall feel to it was very nice.

Yunie has constantly taken great pictures. She has fallen in the ranks lately though, but this picture is shooting her back to the top. Kurri hasn't aimed for adorable-ness at all. Ghost Pirate? Upside down Katniss? She isn't aiming for adorable. She is a RISK TAKER. Maxwell even submitted a sexy picture for the rainstorm make over shot.

I don't see where the 24/7 adorable comment is coming from honestly. <-- that face is the : o face without a space. Not a sarcastic emoticon like the forum is making it. xD

Male against female sounds like a nice idea. I think the current voting system you have works just fine. If you move to holding onto points from other rounds it gets more hectic and finger pointing tbh. I'm not sure what you mean by the youtube?Videos? Collection of SS? But take into consideration that this limits it to PC users only if its Video unless someone plans on making a char on all servers to video them/ work with them.

No no it'll be exactly the same as the forum version but without voters. I'll make a vid showing all the pictures, with the judges comments, and then there will be a call out order, and a bottom two, and an elimination. Hehe.

We're allowed a buddy to take our photos~!
Also, using lock-on on a target in the distance helps off center your character too!

I particularly like using the sun minion because I can position it in a particular spot, lock-on, and get in position since it's stationary. It's great fun.

Thanks for the tips, guys~

I usually take tons of screenshots myself, and end up having to crop 'em in photoshop to give a more dynamic look. I tried using lock-on a long time ago, but it didn't work well for screens because I kept trying to move my character, which automatically turns you around.

Now I just tried it again moving only the camera, and sure enough with a little extra planning and positioning, it works nicely. Only problem is, emotes still turn the character to face the locked on object. Drat!

This would become the "omg so bias" debate. But its an interesting concept. You could pick 6 form the voted off members in a cycle and either ask for ?? shots/ or use their strongest shot form the cycle... use them as a pit against eachother and name it something like Honorable mention Model .. idk everything that comes to mind has a pro and con sadly lol

I've seen cases of mismatch between judges and voters scores and tbh it's not necessarily a bad thing, i trust that they have standards :P
I'm gonna be honest, everyone who has gotten out of the competition so far kinda deserved it for all the slacking unlike the remaining ones.

Maxwell had a good shot this round, he wasn't going for a tryhard-over9000-cuteness-asdfsdgfh-sexy-hot mode and it worked! for me at least~
but i do agree on some races going tryhard with being cute/sexy most of the time. Anyway, for now being cute works, but that's the only thing i see happening for some lalas n-n

[PureEclipse]

Think ive figured out the final 3-5 models, however...I wouldn't mind being surprised either...

This would become the "omg so bias" debate.

haha this is why I said it'd be the Coil of bahamut version! only the strongest skinned models would apply, and all comments about bias-ness and stuff would just be ignored. It'd be just like the TV show. xD (Pre-cycle 20 and 21 where they gave voters a say. >_>

Anyone from Cycle 1 and 2 can apply, as well as new people. But ill only be choosing 6 models for the first Mini-Cycle.

Not that hardly any of you believe me, thats how I feel anyway, but I am completely unbiased. I feel like a den mother. I want all of you to win. The judges also seem unbiased, but then again I see their scores independently, not all added together, so only I can say none have been giving the same model 3s every round regardless of picture or anything like that.

Also, judges for both Cycle 3 and this Mini-Cycle are gonna hopefully all be models from previous two cycles. ^^ So there are your qualifications since people worry so much about judges. Lol

I had such mixed feelings about my submission for this round, I feel a need to share images I almost used and didn't. Please pardon the conversation interruption!



This image I took back in beta was my inspiration. In retrospect, I almost wish I used a pose with a feel more similar to this...



Came so close to submitting this one instead; didn't for a variety of reasons. I'm quite fond of the sun though, so!

And because I just recalled someone asked, these were taken in Brayflox's Longstop. /end interruption

[Kyri]

Vahn! Help! come save me im lost!



(thought of this pic as soon as i saw yours XD)
