OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Tyriont]

Private critiques would actually be -less- work for me, since I could just copy/paste them into an e-mail My issue with doing so is that more public, detailed critiques from judges was something specifically requested after previous Cycles, so it's something we're trying out this time around. Additionally, I have a fear that by giving critiques in private, we're opening ourselves to accusations of providing better 'coaching' to a particular model. I can foresee the debates over favouritism now!

It is a tricky line to walk, as was mentioned above. Our judges are all learning this process too, so it's expected to see a few hiccups early on. I assure you, Rongi and I are both paying close attention to the feedback and we'll use it to further improve the contest.

As to the comment regarding darker shots...well, it's all subjective, really. One of my favourite movies of all time - The Blues Brothers - got a fairly cold reception from critics when it launched and is now often considered a classic! And as I'd mentioned before, I'm watching the feedback and will be using it to better help guide the judges in providing their reviews in future rounds.

Also, I agree. Preschools are TERRIFYING.

Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS to Rhaya! You rock girl. Your shot and even the ones you didn’t submit are fantastic. Looking forward to the stuff you do in coming rounds.

Also I wanted to thank the judges for taking the time to write out their insight for us. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses can only help us create stronger pictures in the coming rounds.

Lastly, I am totally looking forward to the next round’s theme. It’s probably my favorite of them all and I can’t wait to see all the fun and different things people come up with. So excited for tomorrow!

Please wait until voting starts, so as not to give away the theme. After that, by all means! I -love- your Round 2 shot and really want everyone to get to see it.
