OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Eirwen]

Oh man... Questions?! That's going to be so much fun
I'm not worried about the cosplay. I love the competition extra when there's double ones.

lol that might help. I was panicking all day today. 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

I can't wait for the results to come out! I'll be posting my pictures here for you to all have a laugh at with as each round passes. I think I made some pretty silly ones and hopefully you guys can get some enjoyment out of it just as much as I've had fun making 'em.

I'm really looking forward to feedback (from the judges!) It is really hard constructing Round 2 photos when you're not sure what the judges are looking for or where you can improve Could there be a way to have a grace day so that we can see feedback before the deadline of our final submission for the next round? Like, how the Models get advice from Tyra before their next photoshoot challenge? xD

If we do that, it would involve cutting a day from voting, having it end on Wednesday and leaving the deadline on Thursday. (I'm insistent upon keeping the day between submissions ending and the round going up to allow for problems to arise and be fixed, as well as for my sanity). It's worth noting that round voting is longer than it was in Cycle 2 (I wanted to have the days things happen be consistent week-to-week), but we're still getting votes in today, the final day of voting. So it's a trade-off either way. What's everyone's thoughts on this?

lol we might be all alone here, buddy! Well we can always meet up with one another and say hi, seeing we are both from Hyperion~!

Ahh well, we Hyperions are an elite bunch anyways. *looks around* Well us two anyways. Yes! least we can clamor together and maybe talk and run ideas by each other and what not, if I see you or you see me, send me a tell or a friend request.

Well that would be neat, to be able to hear judges critiques before the next rounds submission, but... if it will cause any more stress upon you and the judges, I'd rather not. I want us to all have fun doing this! (I'm enjoying myself, and I'm not even sure if I'm in the next round yet lol) So do what needs to be done that helps us all, and keeps us all sane ^^

Went through my screenshot folder and made this >_>

I'm fine with it either way, whichever is easier on you and the judges, seeing that y'all are basically doing this on a volunteer basis and still have RL and the game to play~! Don't want to stress y'all out by making it almost like a job, this should be fun for y'all too~!

I usually take the advice given by y'all and the voters, which is greatly appreciated, and try to improve where I can. If I did the best that I could do and I am proud of my work, then even if I get voted out I am still happy~! But honestly the pictures we do and who votes for them come down to personal taste, and I completely respect that.

BTW, Idea!

Y'all should do an all-stars version where you bring back the top 2-4 from each cycle that didn't win, but came close, and have them compete~! That would be exciting to see!

I shall watch for you! :3

This is such a good idea. It'd be gorgeous screenshot thunderdome!

Also I concur with your other sentiments. Just participating in this with all you other talented people that can frame up shots like they are epic movie scenes has been an honor. I've actually learned a good thing or two from the feedback and what I've liked in the other models shots. Even if I'm cut tonight, this whole experience has been a brilliant success for me.

Is there an updated tally somewhere? I'm dying waiting for midnight. Squeeeeeeeeeee Good luck everyone!
