Eorzea's Next Top Model (C2) - Round 4

[EorzeasNTM]

This round is over! Please do not post in this thread!!!!





Welcome to Round 4 of Eorzea’s Next Top Model C2!!!

Last round, 13 models were stranded on Hullbreaker Isle!
Unfortunately, Valentina got lost in a cave and was eaten by a monster, never to be seen again…

Now, only 12 models remain!

*que theme song*

This round, the models had to find a NPC partner to coordinate an outfit with!
The models were told that coordinate doesn’t mean they should have the exact same outfit, but instead the two outfits should complement each other. Please do NOT judge the backgrounds, as not all NPCs are positioned in the best spot! Only judge the models pose, outfit, and overall feel of coordination!

Let’s see their best shots…

1. Yunie, you always manage to get such a cute expression on your little, Lala face.
2. Kin, radiant as always, literally. You are glowing. >w>
3. Kurri, this is my favorite picture of you to date, it's playful and I can see your full face.
4. Ronberku, very nice, I almost couldn't tell who was the NPC!
5. Vahn, a very nice use of height difference and I like the angle you took the picture in.
6. Jayzan, you made a very nice scene here and used your NPCs well.
7. Ciara, I like the juxtaposition of Yda's chillaxing and your fierceness.
8. Yuni, I like your outfit and the use of the color red.

Woohoo coordinating!!

Kin - Definitely my favorite this round. You totally nailed the posing and camera positioning to match the mood of your NPC.
Kurri - Both you and your NPC look adorable together!!! I love this one ^^ Good job balancing yourself with your subject.
Ronberku - You both match really well while setting each other off very nicely. Awesome posing!
Yunie - Very cute photo concept, you fit right in with your NPC!
Jayzan - I feel like you could've matched your "crew" a bit better, but you look totally natural posing with them and the layout is nicely done!
Kaelah - I enjoy the aesthetically pleasing, near-symmetry of your coordination with the NPCs.
S.Q. - You look awesome posing with the old Holyfist! Nice coordinating, too.
Vahn - While I think the posing/composition could be improved, you get my vote for your well-done outfit coordination. c:

EDIT: Adding constructive criticism! Didn't do it last night since I was going to bed xD
Ciara - Your submission almost made my top 8! I really liked the attitude your pose was serving with Yda. But in the end I just thought the composition of the photo could've been improved, and I chose Vahn's instead because his outfit coordination was a little less matchy-matchy. It was a tough choice.
Maxwell - I enjoyed your effort and the band of characters you chose, as well as the addition of the airship minion. But in my opinion the posing and composition made you feel a little more disjointed from your NPCs than other entries. I think you could've chosen a pose that looked like you were interacting with them a little more.
Tinsley - I really love the quality of the photo you shot, but since that isn't a criteria to judge by this round, I had to go with my gut on other choices! I get the mood you were going for, but I'm just not sure it delivered as smoothly. (I did however bust out laughing at your outtakes in the discussion thread!)
Yuni - Same NPCs as Vahn! Which made it difficult to choose. With so many other great entries I felt I had to pick just one of you. I really love the shot you captured, but again, unfortunately that's not a criteria I can judge on for this round :c So in the end I just thought your coordination didn't blend seamlessly enough with your NPCs. Lovely shot, though!
