No one likes ffix it seems :'( or my shot. Oh well I do appreciate who's voted for me so far <3

I LOVE your shot personally! I know how you feel though, I'm none too loved at the moment either it seems haha. I chose something that doesn't really coincide with the FF fanbase though, so probably mostly my own fault!

Thanks! I really liked your shot too, and when I saw Bob's burgers I immediately recognized who you were.

Man... I only got four votes at the time of that tally?! It felt like there were more...

[AmalahRose]

Well I would definately love to come for a meetup on the 30th.

[Dawnshade]

I'd love to come too! Still trying to make an alt on Balmung though XD; I'm sure I'll manage to make one by then lol.

Edit: Manage to make an alt! X3 Same name, same look.

Server is just as populated as Odin, but your markets! OMG THEY ARE SO CHEAP! <3

Suggestion: When listing the model's pictures at the beginning of each round, mix them up. Listing them in alphabetical order can place unfair disadvantages or advantages on people who get the first or last spot on the list each week. Example: If you've already seen 4 that you want to vote on, anybody that is after those 4 will need to be considerably better to knock one of those four off your list. If the list is randomized each week, this disadvantage won't be placed on one person each time so it makes it a little more fair overall.

Hi everyone ;3,



Everyone's shots are so creative this week. I think Rongi said it himself, but this was probably one of the best rounds of ENTM ever @~@. There were two though this week which were my personal favorites! Lowena's Poison Ivy is near perfect, imo, with her character looking sexy and evil with a setting and atmosphere that matches perfectly :O. The other was L'yhan's, your shot was very creative using the water to your advantage to mask your legs and the shot just makes me smile ;3.

After seeing all of these I wish I had been able to spend more time on the creative side of my shot and coming up with another idea. I ended up picking based only what I liked as opposed to what would be more recognizable ^^;. Anyhow I'd like to show some of the behind the scenes and thought process behind my shot.

My initial idea was to do Katarina with Ninja now available. I had a difficult time finding an outfit that would match her original look, so I ended up picking her Bilgewater skin. This created some problems as I wasn't able to use any of the games Tricorne yet. So I was rushing to level NIN to 44 and ended up getting it there Tuesday night leaving me only Wednesday and Thursday to take the shots /panic. It was also very jarring for me to use the Aesthetician as I had never changed my characters appearance since the start of 2.0. My hair style had never changed since 1.0 alpha as well ><.



I wanted to emulate the splash art closely as possible initially, but I ended up running into issues with the two boats available to us. The LL one had too many NPCs and the Wolves Den one had a lot of clutter on it. I ended up picking the Wolves Den one because I thought he NPCs would be too distracting and it had a little more beat up / worn down feel to it.



Initially I took placeholder shots to figure out how I wanted to frame it. Once I found the spot I wanted, I got a few friends to help set up the lightning and adding smoke to the picture using Ninja's Hide.



When we started adding in a lot of smoke it became difficult to see me in the picture.




I wanted to make sure I was clear even with the smoke, so we ended up using about 4 Sun minions to light me up @~@.



I originally wanted the weather to be foggy, but it felt very unappealing to me with all the clouds and smoke created.



So I ended up mixing the clear skies with some smoke for what I thought was a little bit more appealing ;3

I can't wait for the round this week, I'm a lot less worried about this coming shot then my cosplay one ('-'*)

I went to log my Balmung alt on.. and.. um... server's full. lol
