----------

Welcome to another round of Eorzea's Next Top Model!

This week, the models had to venture into Ifrit's Arena and take a picture within. What kind of picture? Maybe they're healing a valiant tank, or blocking ifrit's claw with their shield. Maybe they've got their back to the flames, or staring directly into the eclipse! (ouch!) Gear and color were the model's choice.

Here are the results.

I have 9 Favorites! ;_;

Too bad I can only choose 8 out of these ._.

Mya, here goes~:

Byooki:
I really like this picture since you captured your fight with Ifrit.
Nobody else is to be seen in this picture and it strikes me personally as pretty epic, since you also don't know how this fight will go out^^

Jayzan:
Yaaa, this looks pretty much like you made the killing blow on Ifrit, as you strike him right in the heart. On closer inspection, you seem to have used flash to get this picture and I really didn't noticed that there's actually no weapon in that right hand, which seems to strike the killing blow, but I think that doesn't really matter here :3

Kurri:
Don't look back! Don't look back! Don't look back! Don't look back!, Whatever you do just DON'T look back! Awesome picture in my opinion, also because of that facial expression you used

Mini Ninja:
A badass Lala and an explosion... I'm not sure if Ifrit is getting blown to pieces right now or if he's trying to grab you in despair, but it's still an awesome sight to look at (I mean, who doesn't like badasses and explosions? :3 )

Ronberku:
This picture pretty much conveys something like a beheading to me. Something along the lines of what Jayzan did with the "delivering the killing blow", just a bit more "brutal" and in a way that you really get the feeling as if this actually happened.
Awesome picture^^

S.Q.:
Why dooo I like this picture so much.
I'm interpreting it in a way, that you're trying to protect someone dear to you and that the other person you're seeing in this picture might be that one and he's trying to stop you.
There's so much drama going on here, that I really don't know what to expect next and I really like that~

Vahn:
I guess this is the essence of a badass that leaves an explosion behind him.
Really awesome picture. Nuff said :3

Yunie:
Haha, this is one of the funnier pictures I've seen for this round^^
Looks like you're trying to fix your glasses and that you couldn't care less about Ifrit being behind you.
Guess your looks were more important for this one eh?^^

Oh god, I didn't expect to write this much just for 8 people... ;_;
I just hope that it is too much >-<

[KaiKatzchen]

Here is my top 8 list~!

1. Yunie: Love how you caught it just as he was blowing out the fire, and you've just this look of... I'm bad ass and I know it!
2. Valentina: This is lovely, and the spell you're doing that does the overlaying pattern looks great! Very pretty!
3. Yuni: Love the whole Fire and Ice look! You kinda look like Kan-E-Senna standing there as ice overtakes the mob behind you. Lovely!
4. Arias: This is just amazing, positioning is nice and you can see their face really well, didn't loose it in the image.
5. Vahn: Once again like Mini's... man the explosions with the look of 'psh, I got this handled! Good job!
6. Mini Ninja: It reminds me of that car commercial where they are like 'yeah they got this awesome car EXPLOSIONS DOVES EPIC MUSIC heehee, this is awesome!
7. Tinsley: Love the fire wrapping around you with the fire in the background. Looks like it's coming to just engulf you! Nice positioning too~!
8. Kaelah: Fighting while posing! Good shot, and lovely expression. You know what they say, if ya can't see the face it could be anyone~! Great job!

Hello all!

1. Arias - You kinda looks like a Pirate, and when I first saw your sword, it looks like a rapier kinda... xD The pose looks cool and it looks like your grinning.
2. Ciara - Yay death! xD I like how you captured Ifrit's skill and you're partying with it. Really funny.
3. Kin - It kinda looks like you're summoning the moon thingy in the back but it also looks right near you. Special attack? O:
4. Kurri - Lalafell lunch!
5. Mini Ninja - ...My first thought. #Swag. xDDDD. "Do you like my pet?"
6. Ronberku - I agree with Kuraran, I like the "Finishing blow" look here. cx
7. Vahn - "I got this..." xD The glasses lmao! Haha I like this a lot, nice pose.
8. Yunie - "You got the camera ready for this shot? -Fixes glasses;"

I really like shots that really 'speak' to me.
Good job all!

~Opinion on each contestant Shot~

[pageybear]

Byooki: looks like you are dancing with ifrit

Jayzan: looks like you are about to lay the smack down on ifrit. If your axe were not behind you i would think you were stabbing him in the heart. Do you have a concealed dagger?

Kin: I love your picture, Its got sparklies =^^=

Mini ninja: You look hawt. period. This is my fave pic!

Tia: Your pic reminds me of thor with the lightning coming down behind you.

Yunie: Your picture is cool because it looks like you are oblivious to the danger behind you.

Vahn: looks like he just vanquished Ifrit

Kaelah: Looks like she is ready to go chopsaki Ifrit.
