OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Minorinz]

ye no, this is a screenshot competition with lotsa emphasis on the modeling aspect which is why i think the judges have a list of criteria or maybe an on the fly moment to evaluate, their evaluation is never consistent, which sometimes works for certain competitors. The one thing that I don't seem to understand is how come hyurs, miqote Elezen etc.. shouldn't be aiming to be sexy 24/7 but then lalas can be cute 24/7 lol
that logic is flawed on many different levels....

It's not about sexiness/cuteness but sometimes repetition gets it boring and makes it very predictable, aka no expressions most of the time, random blank background, clothing/gear not even matching the theme, same repetitive movement/pose/focus/angle... ^^"
I'm quite sure this wouldn't apply to most voters but that's just my opinion~~~
Model X, for example doesn't seem to be coming out to me as sexy or cute all the time but most of her/his shots are just like wow! wtffff that's something i never thought about!! and even when they r being cute and sexy, it's just when its needed. Also, i was in this competition for a while and i kind of understand the mindset of a "model" but now as a voter it does make me notice things i haven't as a model o:

one more thinggggggg, i've noticed that more voters in this round are actually noting down comments/reasons for their votes which is quite exciting c: !
Models need to get motivated about those reviews!!

I hope I am not lumped into that not consistent comment. >_> I've been very clear what I look for in a screen shot. Also, the judges scores have rarely been THAT out of sync with the Voters scores. Everyone basically agrees on how strong/weak a picture is.

As for part 2, You can't see all the judges scores independently, only added together, but I will tell you that 2 of us haven't rated a Lalafel very high in the past couple of rounds, and there is talk of how boring being cute is getting.

It's fun for Lalafel models I bet, because they get "Lalafels cant be models because they are ONLY CUTE!" and at the same time they get "Its really unfair its okay for them to be cute in every picture. they should change it up!" and then if they put on a bikini they get called "disgusting." LOLOL.

As for Hyurs, Miqotes, Elezens, they also have the ability to take cute photos, but keep choosing sexy.

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
