Thread: Official ENTM-GD thread! 2.0

Love the Dancing Mini! and that Sunset is awesome Eldaena, but the coordination might have been better with your outfits...

Now my outtakes... To herald in Heavensward I REALLY wanted to make a shot that looked like I was flying! But it didn't turn out so well... I also went simple because it looked so much better with my plain yellow Cherry!

Oh no, my panties!

I love the Shrouds, but I ended up feeling they were overused in my shots and I loved my La Noscea shot so much xD.

Updated front page with link to new round, go votes!

Here are my outtakes for this round, I wasn't quite sure in the beginning what I wanted to do, so I tried what everyone else seems to be doing and do NIN things. But it's so hard to time shots perfectly, and even when I did, never turned out the way I liked. Plus we already had fighting with Ifrit I wasn't sure if another fighting shot would be the best route to go...

These last two... I don't even @.@

Finally when I figured out my concept, something beautiful and serene.

Waaah, so many great outtakes. I don't have that many because this was one of my last shots and I was running out of fuel T_T I would like to thank my hidden cameo, Brun Hilda, for consulting me on my final concept and standing in as refugee!

very early concept, didn't really care about weather at this stage. I knew I wanted to stick with my whm barding though. Even switched from raptor blue to dalamud red to match it. ^^

Finalized concept A. This is one the mentors saw. I really liked the symmetry it achieved, but it didn't tell much of a story. Plus, after a FC member commented how it looks like the treant is spitting out a feather, I could not unsee.

Concept B. Not even sure how I got the idea for this, I think I was revisiting some sightseeing log locations for inspiration, when the good samaritan Whitemage duo struck me. This guy is an actual NPC, but Brun commented on how the ceiling cloth created some empty space, so she came over on an alt to get a better location. ._. Our time window was tiny, between 7 am and 8 am, since that's when you see the sun, but before weather change.

I was going to comment how I actually like the treant better than your entry...but once you said the bit about the feathers...I can't unsee it either XD It's still an amazing shot though! With great coloration and composition! However, this could pass as a shot of healing the treant rather than fighting it...after all, they did initially suffer from the wrath of the elementals in the Gridania storyline in 1.0. (Well, rather than suffer, they were more inflicted by the rage and dished out that rage to all trespassers if I remember correctly) And the treant appears more curious of you and your companion rather than angry/threatened.

Yeah ^^ This is a great thread for seeing what else was on the model's minds, outtakes, and discussions of alternate shots.

Usually the reasons behind why they took the screenshots they took...too many to state here. If you're curious, the thread is free to read

I feel like I didn't post the Starry Night shot I had for cycle 3. Hmm.. Maybe.

Anyway, I was late to the Heavensward party cause the game wasn't available till much later for me, and I took a few shots during my adventureeeeeees.

Somewhere in the Western Highlands. I forgot where this was.


The first A rank I bumped into since reaching cap. Stuff of nightmares, yeesh.


I found the most adorable little thing in the Neverreap. He likes to follow me around. I call him Jerry.
