opps...
my bad

Some of you may know, I have been predicting random stuff for some time. My record has been tainted in TMW, hence Mortissia went back to training to get herself more attuned to the cosmic world. Now, Mortissia has returned, with a psychic force greater than ever!

While dreaming, a few images popped up into my head. Ritualists, sunny skies, and exquisite beauty. I don't know how that fits, but the closest picture I had in my GW folder was the shot I put above. I have a strong feeling that something will look like this...

Unlucky Slayer · Oct 09, 2007, 03:24 AM // 03:24

So the Rit alliance is gonna be having fun at the beach? Awesome.

Stalker Haras · Oct 09, 2007, 03:47 AM // 03:47

Well, since everyone turned int heir stuff early (way before due time) everything will be posted early!

This weeks shots where stunning, you guys will enjoy what the 7 contestants brought to the table this week. I'm fully impressed, and judgment this week was really hard, thats all I can really say.

Tasha Darke

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: To be quite honest, your level of shots every week have been so good that this week is truly a little disappointing. The armor is perfectly fine, and I think it really makes Tasha look like a star. However, the background is a little generic and really doesn't seem to emphasize any particular trait of Tasha's. I mean, we've seen such innovative and creative things from you, that this really seems a little safe. The cropping on the right has a little too much space. Not bad not good.

Judge 2: You have been on fire after the first assignment, and you have become the contestant to beat here. But when I saw this, it wasn't like Tasha at all. I was expecting more edge and attitude after what I have seen so far. It is a beautiful picture, I love the soft subtle pose and the view is amazing. And even the cherry blossoms above your head is a nice touch. But it just doesn't represent the Tasha we know, and just looks like you are supporting the Canthan area.

Judge 3: I love Tasha in this shot, if it weren't for the background here, I think that you may have possibly done better. It's distracting, but yet somehow even though distracted, my eyes where always drawn back to you! But then I find my eyes wandering after I've looked at you again! Thats something you should look for, after being top superstar a couple times, it should be in your blood now.

Rosemary Marron

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: My eyes just had an orgasm! Holy Ritualist, this is sensational!! Many contestants and public audiences were complaining that the ritualists would have "glamorous" poses, and I'm glad you proved them wrong. This pose is edgy, spunky, and the background only makes me more focused on your character. The armor choice was GREAT (that little skull dangly thing is sooo cute), and just whoa. You rocked this. You have made all ritualists proud.

Judge 2: I love this shot, and I will tell you why. You are the main focus. You didn't find anything to bring the eye away from you. You picked a wonderful piece of sky that is just gorgeous with those mixtures of oranges and blues that fits well with the armor your wearing. The pose is gorgeous and almost looks model-esque. Its just simply amazing.

Judge 3: Hmm....Very awkward pose but yet, sexy. The rits this week did really well. I'm surprised at that. I love how the armor blends with the orange clouds to your left. The facial expression shows a strong woman here as well. Like she takes her career serious, but isn't always serious about everything. It is seriously going to be hard to choose immunity this week.

Eryn Shadowbane

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: Paragons have sexy undies. But sadly, the undies kinda stole my attention more than the character did. The background is beautiful, but the lighting is really detracting from the overall image. Instead of the focus being on you, the white undies are emphasized because of the dark tree camouflaging with your skin. The pose is simple yet effective, but overall the mistakes on this are just too evident for us to fully enjoy this shot.

Judge 2: I'm surprised that you actually chose a spot that was really too dark for your character. Not that its way to dark but you are on the wrong side of the tree to bring that gorgeous light from the background to bring out the skin of Eryn. I love the place that you picked, very serene...but I'm not a big fan of the pose and the lack of lighting brings it really down.

Judge 3: This reminds me of shots that I saw in TNTM and TMW. Similar poses leaning up against an object to portray a form a sexyness. Which it does, but it isn't exactly glamor. The undies add to the effect more, but not enough to fully show it. I'd have to agree that the lighting in this isn't that great as well, the only thing going here really for you is that Eryn is sexy.

Queen Kitiara

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: This is the best I've ever seen Queen. Give yourself a pat on the back, because this is a HUGE improvement. The armor color brings great focus to Kitiara (but the boots are a little out of place), and the landscape choice was brave and showed your bold personality. The pose reinforces the idea of a strong personality, and just overall, massive improvement. HOWEVER there are things to fix. Cropping is still an issue. For any type of beauty shot, when you place a thin pose right in the middle of the shot, it doesn't work as well as if you cropped it to the sides. However, if you take a look at Sue's, if your pose is MASSIVE and spans the entire shot, than cropping it in the middle will produce the most pleasant effect. You have some expectations to live up to next week, Ms. Kitiara!

Judge 2: I think you were the brave one here, that choose an area that has alot of architecture here. Usually, some models and actors will choose something that is soft and clean to be on their background rather than the hustle and bustle of the curves, and intricate designs of the city. Although you risked it here, it worked quite well. Wasn't the best location of the city, but it works and the main point is you.

Judge 3: Damn, thats one hot wammo if I do say so myself. Could I get her pho...oh right, I'm supposed to do this judging thing. I love how this shot shows attitude in Kitiara that she has shown us throughout most of this competition. You're shots are improving, and I defiantly see a glamor Diva here, but not completely. The background is very bold compared to your character, maybe something softer would have made you shine more. You did well on this assignment, good job.

Sali Sue

Judge 1: Great armor choice, decent scenery. Apart from that, I think you missed the boat here. The pose is questionable, and the statue in the background actually draws a little more attention than you expected. Most of all, I think the problem is your eyes are closed (which came from the pose) it just makes me lost interest in this entire shot.

Judge 2: Um... I dont get how this is glamour. That is all I can say.

Judge 3: I don't really see glamor here at all. The shot is also way to close to you in my opinion. Theres so much that could have been improved on in this shot. I also feel that the desert isn't a very good choice for a "glamor" shot. Theres nothing much really I can add. Aside from that our MILF is still good looking in her armour.

Ashling Fey

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: Uh? How did you do this? Skills I say, SKILLS! Okay, this is sensational. Again, you proved that you didn't have to use a "glamorous" rit pose to succeed. SO simple, yet brilliant. This background fully emphasizes your character, and you look almost angelic (though rits worship grenth). The ornaments on your hair matches the armor, matches everything, and I don't know what else to say. This is flawless. Except I wouldn't mind if your hair wasn't so blinding!

Judge 2: Orange you glad you picked this spot? Hehe sorry for the bad pun. I love the colors here, and its almost reminiscent of your application picture you submitted. It is just gorgeous down to the simplistic pose that works so well here. It shows you, who you are, and your keeping at that. Love it.

Judge 3: :O..........*drool* Like......*drool*. I'm speechless to be honest. Ashling is hot hot hot here. This is exactly what I was looking for in this assignment. It couldn't have been done better then this. My only slight problem is, you are very bright, but it morely adds to the shot then it does in a negative manner, once again, hot.

Sue Aside

Judges Comments:

Judge 1: Ya know, the first thought that came into my head was The Bride from Kill Bill. The white gown, the samurai sword, you just looked like you came right out of Kill Bill. Awesome action, awesome lighting, makes Sue look like she's popping out from the screen. The background was decent, nothing to write home about. However, glamor isn't here... I TOTALLY see spunk and personality, and that was one part of the assignment, but you're missing the other half. Just as a GW shot, this is STUNNING. But as a glamor shot, this doesn't work nearly as well.

Judge 2: The place is great, I like that you choose some armor that was pretty bright and angelic looking. But I'm kind of confused about the pose. It doesn't scream glamor to me, it was like you took a different route here. Maybe you were experimenting with this shot, I don't know, but it doesn't work for this assignment that well.

Judge 3: Holy Cleavage Batman! That was the first thing I noticed in this shot. It's sexy, but not exactly the glamor shot I was looking for. This would go really well with an action shot, that we had previously in the competition. Like another judge stated, this is more "Kill Bill" then glamor. Although I felt it would be easy for a Mesmer to portray it, because Mesmers are known for being "high classed" her say. Although this shot is hot, it isn't fully what this assignment was asking.

Results to be posted soon!

Geishe · Oct 09, 2007, 03:58 AM // 03:58

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, ASHLING and I are TWINS?!

omgod, I cant believe my impulses were correct! RIT alliance wohoooo

but whoa, this week everyone did SO amazing.

CasterOfShame27 · Oct 09, 2007, 04:16 AM // 04:16

Mother of PEARL those were amazing.

Awesome job girls!

Sali Su and co. · Oct 09, 2007, 06:03 AM // 06:03

oh dear, guess my interpretation of glamour was off the mark.... I had so many poses that were similar to others here, I just felt this one was more sali.

Perynne · Oct 09, 2007, 06:19 AM // 06:19

Hehe, I guess both rits used a sunny sky? My location was in the desert, which is kind of like beaches. Geishe, you are amazing.

Oh, and it was surprisingly hard to get that background with just the right amount of clouds. The buggers move too fast in the sky and I didn't want a completely blue background, since the orange adds nice contrast to it.

Good luck everyone! Wow, the shots this week were just amazing. Can't wait to see the results. :3

Queen Kitiara · Oct 09, 2007, 06:25 AM // 06:25

its okay Sali

my interpretation of glam background stifled me a bit too

hang in there

/crosses fingers for both of us.
<3 Kitiara

Geishe · Oct 09, 2007, 06:27 AM // 06:27

I am so glad everyone is so supportive of one another. I wonder what would happen if the judges did another TNTM cycle 1 Contestant vs Contestant assignment. That'd be harsh.

Stalker Haras · Oct 09, 2007, 06:36 AM // 06:36

Well, this week...I'm going to be honest was a stunning performance in my opinion. I'm sure many would agree with that. You girls rocked your screenshot folders socks off, literally. :P So, you wana know how well you did? Results below!

Sali Su - 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 (UP FOR ELIMINATION)
Sue Aside - 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 (UP FOR ELIMINATION)

Eryn Shadowbane - 3 + 2 + 3 = 8 (Tied for elimination but holds immunity)
Tasha Darke - 4 + 3 + 4 = 11
Queen Kitiara - 5 + 4 + 5 = 14

Rosemary Marron - 6 + 7 + 6 = 19(UP FOR IMMUNITY)
Ashling Fey - 7 + 6 + 7 = 20(UP FOR IMMUNITY)

Currently Immunity: Eryn, you have lost immunity to the new immunity holder. Your performance this week wasn't as great as we had expected, immunity kept you out of a tie for the elimination spot.

Eliminatees:

Sali Su - We've felt that you haven't done as strong as some in this competition as you could have. We got a lot of energy from your application, and some in a couple assignments. But that flare disappeared way to often, and we would like to see more of it!

Sue Aside - This was surely unexpected. You've help immunity a couple times, got perfect scores on assignment one, and floored us on some others. Maybe it's time for you to step back up to that plate and floor us some more. Your shots are starting to become more "safe" and less "risque" per say. We want that Sue back!

Elimination: We all know someone has to go, and the decisions get harder and harder as weeks go by. But here is this weeks eliminatee.

Click Here

Immunity:

Rosemary Marron: Your shot this week was stunning, we got a lot of glamor coming from your corner, and it was hawt! We hope to see more of this from You in the future!

Ashling Fey: Your shot this week was absolutely stunning. With your performance last week, which floored us as well as this week, only deserves fro you to be running for immunity again!.

Without further adieu, here is the new glamorous immunity holder!

Congratulations girls, 6 of you remain, but only 1 of you can win. From here on out, this gets harder.

Geishe · Oct 09, 2007, 06:58 AM // 06:58

omgod!! I predicted the ritualists! WHOA, rit alliance go go go!

Congrats Ashling, honest to goodness, fabulous performance. And of course Perynne, you've kinda always been amazing, so let the young 'uns have the fun, eh? hahaha.

And Sali, you should be real proud for making halfway, honestly, this competition was no piece of cake. Think of this as freedom and no more assignments, haha.

EDIT: and stalker, you spelled confident wrong. Some things never change, tsk tsk.

Sali Su and co. · Oct 09, 2007, 07:00 AM // 07:00

Farewell my friends ^_^

and good luck!!

Love Sali Su ..... .... and co.

Queen Kitiara · Oct 09, 2007, 07:11 AM // 07:11

Awe Sali we will miss u!!!!!!! Stay on the thread ok??? Geishe is right - i do relish the fact to still amongst such great company. That had included u!
Good Luck to all for the next assignment!

....nachsten....what the heck is ...???/runs to google

/edit (wishes i didn't ask that question above)

"nachsten" = next :P

can we all just pretend I didn't ask that :P

Julius K Foxglove · Oct 09, 2007, 07:43 AM // 07:43

Sad to see Sali go... I was quietly rooting for her as an ANZAC.

Sue, don't be too disenchanted by you poor results this week, I thought your shot was one of the best this week. I hope you are proud of it because you don't always have to agree with the judges

Congrats Kitiara, that's definitely your best shot so far, great to see an improvement... keep it up.

Eryn, your shot on my work computer was so dark I could hardly see Eryn, but at home it looks great. Lighting is so important, especially to consider what it might look like on other people's computers too I guess... I personally learnt that one the hard way.

Congrats to everyone anyway, esp Ash ftw, this competition is starting to heat up!

Rosa Vixen · Oct 09, 2007, 12:34 PM // 12:34

woah..Ashling..woah
you have inpirered me to buy 15k luxon.....once i become rich that is

tidus yumemiru · Oct 09, 2007, 04:26 PM // 16:26

grats Ashling

simple yet stunning shot

Torikae · Oct 09, 2007, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Omigoodness, thank you so much! I'm bowled over. Totally wasn't expecting that xD
So glad I went with my instincts on this one. Discovered that spot farming Asuran points, and only did one shoot - early, too - very unlike me!

Geishe, I couldn't believe your prediction! I was thinking; 'Dude, that's exactly what I went for' xD
Great shots, everyone, too! Rosemary, I LOVE yours, and Eryn, I love your choice of location.
Sali Su, please keep posting on the outtakes thread - I love watching out for your shots, and hate to see you go ;;

Morag D · Oct 09, 2007, 06:57 PM // 18:57

congrats Ash on winning this one, it's a really beautiful shot.

well, I think I'll have to go back to 'safe' things, cuz every time I try something kinda different, the judges don't like it

but honestly, I felt like experimenting a bit because of the immunity issue, and I would have never dared using undies otherwise

thx to Jules for your support

We'll miss you, Sali! it's incredible how fast the weeks speed by, we're already reduced to half our original size! I find it a little scary...
