Thread: Official ENTM-GD thread! 2.0

Everyone did a fantastic job - I can see why casting was so tough. I'm also glad to see a mix of new and familiar faces.

Sort of off topic, but a few months ago Pudgy Puk of Tumblr came up with "30 Days of Glamour." It wasn't a contest, just an exercise in putting yourself in cool outfits and sets based on poses, much like ENTM. For my fellow competitors, and those who were passed over this round, I *highly* recommend working your way through all 30 suggestions as practice. It really upped my screenshot skills - and since it was not a competition it was no pressure, just fun. You can see all the great stuff people came up with under the hashtag #30daysofglamour on Tumblr.

Also, for funsies, an outtake of one of my entrance shots:

How many other minions needed a pep talk before the shoot?

Oh yeah, front page updated too!

It's time everyone - Round 1 of Eorzea's Next Top Model: Cycle 5 is here!

"But Ty, you dashingly handsome and incredible man", I hear you cry! "Why are you posting here instead of in a new thread for voting?!"

Well, that reason is simple. In an effort to appeal to a wider audience, we have moved the voting away from the forums. As a result, we will no longer be creating individual threads for each round as there is little point and only serves to clutter the forums and make people mad at us. Instead we will keep voting in a single location, making it much easier for everyone all around. Discussion can still happen in this thread as usual!

So, without further ado: HERE WE GO!

Eorzea's Next Top Model Cycle 5: Round 1

Week 1: Freestyle non-elimination
As stated, the first week is a freestyle. No one will be going home this week - this is here so you (as models) can see how the judges will be handing their job and they can get used to you and see what you got. But don’t think you can play it safe, because there is a stipulation to this! Heavenward is the future, but we can't forget our pasts! Therefore an homage to our past is requested - yep that's right - the freestyle image cannot be taken in any 3.0 (or beyond) area! So watch the angles, play with that light to make you shine and show 2.0 some love!

As with Cycle 4, this round is non-elimination in order to get models used to the system and let them have the benefit of at least one week of judge feedback before the slaughter begins.

For voting, please sort the models in order of your most loved shot, from 1 to 12!

The model shots can be found here

The voting link is here. It's a Google Form and does require you to log in with a google account to vote - a restriction yes, but much less of one than an active FFXIV forum account. We'll be monitoring how this new voting method goes and may make adjustments in future as needed. We will, of course, be publishing the numbers once voting closes.

So, have at!
