[RaquelleAvarosa]

Still waiting on the Judge's to send in their photos, and I can't put up Cycle 3 winner and runner up photos until January...but here is the last preview of the official opening for the YT Version!

You made me look so tall <3

*snicker* I'm glad that Rongi shrunk me down. I'm pretty sure it would have looked weird to have everyone but Sylvie at waist-height and lower!

o.o Hello all~
So, I just wanted to pop in and say thanks to all of the models. You guys have been awesome and really creative with your screen shots.
Also I wanna say thanks to Tyriont for organizing/managing this event (Cycle 3 at least lol).
^_^ really thanks! I enjoy checking the forums for the new screenies!
-feeds everyone cookies-
Keep up the good work!

I-I'm not a L-lalafel anymore...



Introducing Hopelle Losstoam! ^^

Edit: I made Rongi Pongi on a different server, but if I switch characters I can't post on the forum so I gotta wait til he is a bit higher level. xD

O.O ...Rongi! I have a certain fondness for Lalas, but you make a gorgeous (Tyra-)Elezen! XD ♥

And that YouTube preview! Oooo, I can hardly wait! *excited* I admit I squealed a bit when I saw the Ariel-picture scroll by


Here are my alternate shots and outtakes for this round!

At first I had a different concept in mind, the first of these two being my placeholder while I worked on it a bit more:

However, I wanted an alternative concept to choose between, so I played around with battle-effects, and found this:

It was sooo tricky catching the effect at the right time, however, and most were too dark...

Or too bright...

I had a lot of favourites:

Picking one was more scary than the theme for this round! x_x

5. Rhaya Relanah: Another picturesque picture versus storytelling. I love the effect you're using and the shadows it's casting on you and I love the movement in your skirt. If only it wasn't for that floating, monster head... >A>()

Floating? But... The whole body is there... T_T

Rhaya Relanah - I'd like to submit this to SE. You need to be a boss in Haukke Manor Extreme Mode. You look like you are summoning and controlling Valefor himself.

Bwahaha, I'm game for that! >:3

Hi guys, great job in this round. This was a round I was looking forward to!

If you have a shot or want to do one, post it in the discussion-thread! Show us what we missed out on when we lost having you in the running! ;3


I've been writing critiques privately lately - it's super difficult, especially since I've been trying to do it with my own submissions as well, but it helps me think about all shots in more depth and I notice what things I value higher than others, how it either coincides or differs with the way other people look at the pictures. I love reading critiques, voters' and judges' both, regardless if I agree with them or not. There's always something to take away from it, a learning process that never ends - and it's fun!

[MissBrunHilda]

Aaaaaagh, I love that one, but it's not scary... X3 Well, not as scary as the 3D demon rushing the screen every time I look at the submissions! *makes everyone a drink this round* *shake shake shake*

I don't have a shot for this particular round - however, my notes and discussions with my friends were this:
To keep with my style, it would be slightly comical/whimsical
3 of my friends would come Ninja and wear the ghost costume from Halloween, but use hide to be semi-transparent
Pose in various places in the music room
I would be sitting at the piano preparing to serenade the spirits!

Something along those lines. Hehe!

I got bored.

Was in the area.

Decided to take a shot.

pleasedontkillme ;n;

Outtakes! It didn't take me long to figure out what I wanted to do, so apologies for the lak of screenshots! Anyway, here were some strong contenders for my top pick!

I liked this one, but the theme was to be creepy. Fighting back doesn't bring that sense of creepiness, so I scrapped this one.


Decided to try something else at this point. I liked this one in particular because of the way the succubus was posed. Sent it into oblivion because of the negative space on my right.


And this one is where I found out that the succubus has glowing eyes during her Sweet Steel attack.


This one had less, but it didn't stand out to me so I burned it.


This one HAD potential, but the succubus didn't look threatening.

AND SO. I WENT TO TAKE ANOTHER PICTURE TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE LACK OF VARIED OUTTAKES. pleasedonthurtme *sob*

Bonus pictures of babysitter Adam!
