Eorzea's Next Top Model - Round 9

[EorzeasNTM]

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




You guessed it! Another round of Eorzea's Next Top Model (C2)!

Last round, 8 Models posed with their Company Chocobos.
Unfortunately, Kin and hers were caught by poachers and made into Fried Chocobo! (They were delicious.)

Now, only 7 Models remain...

*que Yakety Sax*

This round, the models had to MOUNT UP!
We asked the models to choose their favorite mount and go for a ride, with the goal of coordinating an outfit, the background, and the mount to create a story. The only rule was they had to BE IN MOTION. Aka Running, Walking, or Jumping. Time of day, gear and its color, and all that jazz were the models choice.

Let's see their best shots...

Oooh my God...Kin was in the top in like EVERY round..
Ah well, like they said on Project Runway.
One day you're in, the next you're out.
I'm sad haha...anyways one second with the posts.
EDIT: Votes in!

Maxwell - Very VERY nice interaction with the other...Eyeball things! I love this one! *Fave!*
Yunie - Cute! I like your facial expression! You look like witch here.
Kurri - CHARGE!! XDDD
Ciara - I like the jungle/nature theme you did again.

Reason why I didn't pick the rest.

Basically all of them just looked like they were just on a mount...
Honestly, this seems like one of the tougher shoots anyways.

Maxwell Possibly my fave, I love the army.
Yunie Facial Expression and outfit, plus background, dis witch gonna have some fun
Kurri So much distruction, so much fun
Ciara A part of me thinks Maya from the new KI, maybe a tad Nidalee, the jungle theme worked apart from all the evil.

Super shocked by last round's elimination...this competition is getting brutal. Lol ;___;

Top 4:
Ciara - If I had to dock you some points for "reusing" an outfit, I might do it here...! But the easy-to-read jungle amazon theme of your shot and the well-done coordination therein (as well as nicely managed focus on you) grant you my vote!
Jayzan - I like how you captured this! The setting is an interesting, color-and-thematically-coordinated choice, while your outfit coordination with your mount looks good.
Tinsley - Very nice setting, love how you got another coeurl in the shot, great choice of armor, awesome composition, really dig how you're looking at the camera - overall superb!
Yunie - Love your theme, and your little smirk just delivers it that much better! The setting is an enhancing choice, and the composition is dynamic.

Critiques for the rest:
Kurri - Ahh, Kurri...once again I just get a lack of focus on you! I like your theme and the shot is dynamic, but the composition doesn't work.
Maxwell - Not the weakest, but not on top. If you were facing the camera you would've made this choice a whole lot harder!
Vahn - I appreciate the compositional symmetry - an interesting choice - but the setting doesn't do your theme any favors, and in comparison to what I feel are more dynamic entries, this comes off a little too simple.

[Kosme]

Not my favourite round, but I know it must've been a tough one. I've tried to snap many shots from a moving mount before - definitely not easy to get the best pics! I'm also not surprised that the eyeballs were so popular...



I just liked this one because of the weird angles caused by the sloping hills~

♦ My votes: ♦

Maxwell, Kurri, Yunie: this wasn't a master race bias or anything, I just thought that the lalatarus had more dynamic shots with movement and some action and some life.

Vahn was my pick of the remainder~

[SugarCookie]

Kurri
Maxwell
Ciara
Vahn

[Cho]

Ciarra, Kurri, Maxwell and Yunie.

The choice seemed much easier than usual this round D:
