OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Wings]

Another tough round! Here's the shot I had in the folder until half an hour before deadline:

I died so many times during this shoot. But I got some amusing outtakes too - I don't think everyone realizes what kind of people the Sahagin truly are. They seem pretty cuddly at first:

But then... "Whoa, buddy! Give me some space here!"

"Ow!!! Claws! CLAWS!"

"Eyes up here - and watch where you're grabbing."

"I said watch it."

They's terribly grabby, regardless of size:

"Uhh... Where are you going?"

I have a few more outtakes in this folder, if anyone wants to browse them. If I come across any more from this round, I'll add them in there. Come to think of it, I had such a fun time with these outtakes, I'd like to invite others to write captions for them too if you're in the mood. Either one of these, or the ones in the folder XD

Here are my outtakes/potential shots I wanted to use :

My initial concept...but I found to be...very boring -_-;

I then decided to get a little risky and learn the ways of the Sahagin (IE getting as Piratey/Fishy/Levi tempered as possible and blowing 2 mil on the Ares Chest piece -_- xD)

Attempting to block an attack:

This image actually imspired my submission, but I felt it was too dark and I wasn't really targeting anything or focusing my attention:

I uh...attempted to get...really close to one of the enemies <_<; star crossed Green Lovers anyone?:

This shot I actually wanted to submit REALLY bad, for I loved it, but idk half my face is a bit covered so :3:

More muffled frustration with the 'enemy':

Trying to figure out some angles between my 'bruhs':

"Stop fightin' ya bloody heathens!"

My attempt at being sexy~ hue...almost turned this one in too @_@

"Come at me bruh..."

"OH? You came at me? Well take this...!"

Sakuraya: Lovely background, you look too peaceful and I think that's your weakness.. no expression? Good job on the location though!

lol well I'm actually glad you say it looks peaceful, considering I was getting beaten up and my ass handed to me. had to have people in the background killing mobs to keep them off me, while my friend tried to take shots in the middle of the mob sitting there an beating on me. XD

It was like Ok go kill that *being beaten on* ok take the shot in the middle *being beaten on* Hold on gotta cure myself *being beaten on* Ok go for the shot again *being beaten on* lol It was NOT an easy shot to take, took us 3 hours. Not to mention people running into the shot because they were working on books, so they would kill the mob we were using for the shot. Or standing in the shot because they were waiting for them to re-pop and trying to get them before we grabbed it lol. XD

So the fact that it came out peaceful makes me very happy! I was going for what an Ambassador is, a diplomat sent to a foreign country (in in this case the Corrupted sylphs) and I am holding out my hand in peace, to show them I mean no ill will and wish to work with them to gain trust. :3

So what time and where is the Balmung meet-up tomorrow Rongi?

I don't want to miss it!

[EorzeasNTM]

@Santherelle <3333333 The party starts at 7pm Central USA time! I'll be online proly an hour or two earlier then that so anyone who needs an invite to the LS and stuff, just send me a tell in game!

@Tinsley If the judges save was actually used, I'd propose we do what we did in Cycle 2, which was have a Final 3 instead of Final 2! And when mentoring, the mentor only picks which of the images they like the best, but it doesn't have to be the one they submit to the judges. So hopefully that would also stop the problem of "its your fault i'm eliminateddddd" shouts. ><;

@Adeline we will keep you posted on that mentor position than ne? :P Cycle 3 models are also eligible for Judging positions too so its great to hear you want to be involved!! ^^ I leave in May, so I'll be leaving ENTM except to vote, so I hope everyone who stays involved keeps the contest going forever and ever. Haha.

Another fun discussion, are you guys liking the Boys vs Girls this cycle? Cycle 1 was all girls. Cycle 2 was a Tournament Prelim than Mixed Cycle, and now Cycle 3 is Boys vs Girls. Obviously we wont do a repeat of Cycle 1 (except the first YT Cycle) so for Cycle 4 should we follow Cycle 2, Cycle 3, or are there any new formulas we would like to try? Personally, I've enjoyed Cycle 3 the best in terms of Formula (Other then the boys dropping out! ><;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I am a fan of the Girls Only/Boys only, and then mixing them at the end is exciting to me as well, so this has been great! Hehe.

Indeed I do hope you and Tyriont invite me again to be involved! I love ENTM! Also I think this way we have going is cool, it's just sucky that boys keep dropping, and well...they get freeby weeks ;; it can't be helped...I don't really know of many other ways other than just making it a free for all both sides ;x

Since I got to experience Rongi's mentoring firsthand, I've gotta say that I really enjoyed it. It was nice to get some solid constructive criticism on the initial submissions, so that I could redirect and adjust the focus as needed. I think it made my resubmissions that much better. It never hurts to get someone else's eyes on your photo to check for composition, story, attitude... Especially when this someone knows what they're talking about!

[Santherelle]

I will happily do that.

I think that I somehow don't have you as a friend yet..

I think we have just been missing each other online.

[Norna]

I have a question: Can anyone vote? Or is there a set list of voters? Because I'm interested in voting.

For ENTM anyone can vote as long as you have 10 or more posts, which ya do~!

For the Youtube one, not 100% sure someone could answer that better than me XD
