Woo so many nice shots!

i completely love the Sarah Eleanore's shot, it really does look like she is a half fish, the only thing i would change there is make her waer the 15k druids top which looks like little mermaids "ahem" armor

and Mango, i love your shot, its so pretty.

Judge 3: It's a very pretty shot, but your poses are very safe, first, it was sit, and now its dead, you really need to take a step up. There are plenty of ways to be sleepy and not be dead.

in her last shot the emote used was /beg (which btw wasnt used in TNTM yet in last cycle), not /sit (which is indeed a very boring pose and should be banned from TNTM.... lol im kidding).

I think going with being dead was a risky choice, far from safe, because you only get 1 pose to chose from, not many different poses that flash during most emotes. and well, the princess was sleeping, so anything with action in the shot would loose the Sleeping Beauty idea of it, unless its the prince killing the dragon, but that would go in Tntmm.....

I have to agree. No one else had to play games with forced perspective just to fit the assignment, above and beyond the usual challenge of looking good. I was really impressed by her pictures.

You can get more than one pose from being dead, depending on what weapon you are sporting. We had to make it so she did the bow-weilder's death, and disguise it so the bow wouldn't show. I think mango did a good job on that, cause I didn't even notice the bow from simply looking at the pic, and I even knew it was there

EDIT: whoops, just noticed she didnt use the bow-weilder death, me bad ^___^;

Geishe · May 06, 2007, 12:32 AM // 00:32

I'm very impressed by everybody!

Indeed, Geisha did have a hard, HARD assignment, I thought it was a very creative job. However, I must agree with the judges that it's not very "fashion-y" only because I can't even see her >.<

I enjoyed Arala's very much, same with Lunamaria's. I was a little disappointed with Bierflesjes only because I already saw it in the TNTM feedback thread and wasn't very surprised with it. It's still a nice shot, just lost the suspense.

The more I look at Beyoncee's character, the more I fall in love with her... she's absolutely gorgeous, that armour fits her PERFECTLY.

Mila has a good eye for radiant shots, and her energy is always SO dominant in the shots so far, i'm VERY impressed. You always manage to look the most slender as well.

/Dance can make or break you, and so far, it's working beautifully.

Oogami · May 06, 2007, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Thanks allot everyone for the compliments and the feedback !
Its really encouraging ! I'm a bit nervous for everyone this time .. i feel like no one should loose on this assignment.. somehow...

Sentao Nugra · May 06, 2007, 05:12 AM // 05:12

Long weekend, I'll post my comments here when I am alive in the morning (weekend of prom so sleep is precious right now....)...

Ember010 · May 06, 2007, 11:39 AM // 11:39

/dance has been working well for me, but I'm trying not 2 depend too heavily on it! lol.

Everyone did brilliantly in this assignment, and it was a fun one to work on! I didnt realise that we were supposed 2 send in Male Model names so for my own guildies recognition; Thankyou to Tifa Shadowheart! I had a great time shooting with him! lol

LadyNilene · May 06, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

Here are the scores given by the judges, plus the previous MOTW points and the deductions from not naming your male partners.

Arala Starsong - 08, 06, 07 = 21 - 2 (partial deduction) = 19
Beyoncee Knowlez - 02, 04, 03 = 09 -5 = 04
Bierflesjes Klauw - 05, 03, 04 = 12 - 5 = 07
Geisha Nugra - 01, 02, 01 = 4 - 5 = -01
Lokii Dia - 03, 01, 02 = 6 - 2 (partial deduction) = 04
Lunamaria Cruz - 04, 07, 08 = 19 - 5 = 14
Mila Fox - 07, 11, 10 = 28 - 5 + 3 (MOTW bonus) = 26
Miss Melly - 10, 08, 11 = 29 - 5 = 24
Mojave Mango Juice - 09, 09, 06 = 24
Sarah Eleanore - 06, 10, 05 = 21
Szei Ren - 11, 05, 09 = 25

I applaud those who actually read, understood, and remembered our rules. I do take this competition seriously, and the fact that some of you applied and totally brushed off that whole section in the front really agitated me.

After the deductions, the two top scores belongs to Mila Fox and Szei Ren.

Mila Fox - Your picture was absolutely amazing, the romance between the two characters are portrayed beautifully. However, the fact that you talked badly about your picture, made us question your picture as well.

Szei Ren - The wishful hopes and ambitions that your character displayed truly captured Anastasia's character. However, the divine aura was a mess, and before this competition even began, we talked to you about that and this week-we feel you didn't care to do anything about it.

And the winner of MOTW for Week 2 is...

Congratulations! For winning MOTW for Week 2, you may pick one of two special prizes...

1. An in game prize of two globs of Ectoplasm.

or

2. A contest prize of three additional points added to your score for the next photoshoot assignment.

Please get with me with your decision to your nearest convinience.

As for eliminations, our two lowest scores are a three way tie with Geisha Nugra, Beyoncee Knowlez, and Lokii Dia.

Geisha Nugra - Again, you did not shine in your shot. Your ambitions got the best of you once again. Although we commend you for such a creative shot, there is no way this would make for a good fashion shot.

Beyoncee Knowlez - This picture was absolute chaos. So many imperfections, so much confusion. There was so much potential for a good shot, the judges and I easily did beautiful shots with the stone gargoyle statues found all over Tyria, and we even went as far as taking pictures with live mobs in the game that look like gargoyles, the stone rain. For you to say that you had no idea what to do really makes us question your creativity.

Lokii Dia - From being one of the top to one of the bottom, just shows how quickly this contest can change. Your picture made for a beautiful scene remade, but lacked the fashion appeal that is needed in this competition.

For two of you, the chance for redemption is there, as for one, the competition ends now...

Congratulations to our eliminated contestant for making it this far!

This week, a lot of you really disappointed us, I suggest everyone ask for and review the rules. We are not going to hold your hands through this competition, you need to be on top of your game at all times.

Your next assignment will be assigned shortly, so good luck to everyone, and congrats to our MOTW and to our eliminee.

Nilene and co.

Tea Girl · May 06, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Aww I thought Geisha's shot was pretty cute and creative :T

Roguish Seraph · May 06, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Congratz again Mila.

Ang Geisha I'm really gonna miss you! You shot I thought was really creative and very Tinkerball. Please please go to the request forum and still send in your pictures.

About the deductions....what are they from exactly? I understand if it was because some of the girls didnt put down the guys names that were in the shots. But I wondering if that isnt, because I did and I got a deduction.

Sarah Eleanore · May 06, 2007, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Geisha Nugra I still think your creativity was amazing

.. I'm not sure I agree with everything the judges do, I think your creativity can be used to improve yourself. Still as Oogami said, everyone was so great, it was really hard to pick someone probably.

And congrats to both Mila Fox and Szei Ren for being the best (this round)!
I can't wait for the next assignment.. now let's hope school's not going to go hard on me ;p (tomorrow school starts again)

Sentao Nugra · May 06, 2007, 05:46 PM // 17:46

:/ Don't know what to say...

Just have one question: When you assigned a character to model after a 4-inch tall fairy that wears a plain as day green slip, what did you expect? There was nothing I felt I could do to keep true to the Tinkerbell assignment and still pull off a "fashiony" shot. I went with my gut and performed the best Tink impression that was possible. Again, I am at a loss for words and would like to hear what you would have done with the shot that was still in the Tink spirit.

And I guess it's too late to say it, but I sent in the actual person playing the male character's name, and not the PC's name. It was really creative too

, Peter Pan Model :/

P.S. Thanks for the support everybody. If I feel motivated I'll still post my pictures in the other thread. Keep up the great work everyone and good luck!

mojave mango juice · May 06, 2007, 05:52 PM // 17:52

Mila : Grats on the MOTW, your picture was gorgeous

Geisha : I loved your picture, I feel you portrayed your character very well. You had a tough assignment. Your picture was definitely one of my favourites from this week. I'm happy we became friends through this competition, and I hope our friendship will grow stronger still. I am and shall always be one of your biggest fans

(PS: I agree with Lokii, you need to keep posting pictures

)

Alex : Yeah, I discarded the bow-death because the bow wouldnt hide well enough. Thanks for being my wammo, I appreciated the help

The Last Anthem · May 06, 2007, 05:53 PM // 17:53

congrats to Mila again I think you definitely have a good chance to win this at this rate xD
good luck geisha, I thought your shot was awesome you have really neat ideas

I really need to try to stay to the assignment more..I'm going to try even harder this assignment to actually DO the ASSIGNMENT..

In your shot, you have two male models, the ritualist in front and the ranger in the back, you only named the ritualist if we're correct.

Last week, your had problems with showing yourself, this week, you should've really took to that to heart. Besides, look in the "Post your TNTM pictures" in the screenshot request thread, and there were some good Tinkerbell shots without being the literal size. Your picture was good, but it just wouldn't work for this competition.

Roguish Seraph · May 06, 2007, 05:58 PM // 17:58

I don't think I would be losing my head that much. I just want to make sure. Is it at all possible that you can resend what I sent to the rep e-mail to mine? Because for some reason my hotmail doesnt like to put my sent e-mails to the sent folder x.x

sorry if being a nuisance x.x

Oogami · May 06, 2007, 05:59 PM // 17:59

Ummm i got a question .. maybe a bit silly but ... here i go lol .. whats the -5 points on the scores ?

And To Geisha Nugra... I am a bit Sad to see you go tbh ... i really feel like your assignment wasn't the easiest and your idea was so original and true to Tinkerbell.. even though the judges points are kinda valid .. but still ...Like some suggested already... please continue to post some shots in the feedback thread.

Good Luck.

Roguish Seraph · May 06, 2007, 06:03 PM // 18:03

For not naming that guy in the picture, I believe.

This is week 03 of competition, and for this week, its all about action posing. As seen in the banner, the girls from ANTM Cycle 5 we're transformed into Super Heroines and delivered dynamic poses. And all of your are the super heroes in the world of Tyria.

So for this photoshoot assignment, I will require that you all must take your next shoot in some form of attacking motion (hacking someone with a sword, casting a spell, wanding someone to death, etc).

You can attack anything and everything. Whether its those dumbies in the training area, or an actual enemy mob, or another person. And the object youre attacking does not need to be included in the shot, but it can be. You are also not confined to your primary jobs method of attacking and may use anything. (I.E. if you're a ranger, you do not have to use a bow)

If there are any questions and or concens, please forward them to me and I will be glad to help.

We will be looking for dynamic, strong action poses, so take that into consideration while deciding on a screen to submit.

This assignment will be due on Friday - May 11, 2007.

After deciding on a shot you are happy with, please send it in with the following question(s) answered:

1. What mode of action are you using in your shot?

2. Why do you think this is a compelling, dynamic shot?

Good luck to everyone and have fun!
