You look so sensuel in that shot really... those eyes.... they look amazing.
I almost ended up doing a shot of yours ( the one posing with the statue of Lyssa) but settled on Summer afterall ;p I just really liked her last shot because of the idea and the extreme it had in it.

Maria The Princess · Jun 10, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

^^ thank you!

its a good thing you didnt do my shot with statue of Lyssa cuz i got horrible comments on this one from the judges, because it was too dark, and didnt really meet the assigment's idea! so you did a good choice by not trying it. Also, if you would choose the same location, you would have a horrible time doing it, because its so hard to get a spot with good lighting there. the spot i chose had the best lighting (with the statue in sight) and still, it was really dark.

Actually i was thinking of doing it in another location by using the pose you have on this screenshot here with another Ele friend of mine behind me synch dancing to get the same pose so it would look a bit like the statue ... an eternal dance lol. And his ele contrasted kinda with mine too in the sense his looks much more natural so it could have been cool to represent the duality too

( a little bit like Arala actually ^_^;

Here are how the scores we're distributed:

Arala Starsong - 06 + 05 + 03 = 14
Bierflesjes Klauw - 03 + 04 + 02 = 09
Lokii Dia - 04 + 03 + 05 = 12
Lunamaria Cruz - 02 + 01 + 01 = 04
Miss Melly - 05 + 06 + 06 = 17
Szei Ren - 01 + 02 + 04 = 07

Which means Miss Melly and Arala Starsong are up for MOTW and Lunamaria Cruz and Szei Ren up for elimination.

Arala Starsong - Your picture was done well, the concept behind your picture was solid, and we felt you took Katina's picture to a different level.

Miss Melly - Your picture was beautifully done, your concept behind the picture was also good, and we felt that you did bring something extra to Jaden Stone's original submission.

After much consideration, we felt that this week's MOTW should be...

Congratulations to our MOTW, for winning MOTW, you may choose one of two special prizes...

1. An in game prize of 07 globs of ectoplasm.

or

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

Please get with me with your decision to your nearest convinience before June 13, 2007, otherwise, you will forfeit your prize.

As for eliminations...

Lunamaria Cruz - We felt that you let your ambitions get the best of you. Although we knew you wanted to go for something over and beyond, we felt you really pushed it and left out what this assignment was all about. There is no connection between you and your muses pictures.

Szei Ren - We felt your picture this week was not as strong as any of your previous submissions. We felt that you picture was bland and lacked any hint of that sparkle you usually bring to your pictures.

The person that will be leaving the competition this week is...

Congratulations to our eliminee for making it this far into the competition, and to everyone who has passed on to the next round of competition!

Your next assignment will be announce shortly!

Welcome to your Eighth Week of competition!!! Alright final five, for your next few assignments, it will be all about Istan, your fashion capital for TNTM Cycle 2. So remember, you will be required to wear istan armor and work within Istan territory!!!

On to the assignment, so what's unique about Istan? The introduction of "Heroes" into Guild Wars, so for this week of competition, we will be asking you guys to strike a pose and work with hero henchmen, particularly, Koss or Dunkoro.

This will be no easy task, and the absolute best way to work with heroes, is to have a friend flag a hero and have them do emotes from far away which the npc will copy from the pc controlling the hero. You can definitely do this on your own as well, but it will be harder! Whatever works best for you!

What you will be trying to achieve is a striking, heroic pose in a strong istan setting with your hero.

Questions for this assignment are as follows:

1. Which one of the hero did you choose and why?

2. What makes this shot suited for the assignment?

This assignment will be due on June 15, 2007.

Good Luck and Have Fun!

As always, feel free to contact me if you have any other questions!

Caleb Kane · Jun 11, 2007, 05:39 AM // 05:39

jeez, the judges are so harsh. the highest score was a 17?

edit: nvm. i just realized they were ranking them lol =/

Oogami · Jun 11, 2007, 05:40 AM // 05:40

Meh.. i dunnou how to react lol .... I'm loosing in a weird manner ....
Last week when i was model of the week I had a dream...just before falling asleep .. i don't recall what i was thinking about ... but sudenly a chat box popped up where people were telling me goodbye because i had lost on the next assignment...and they were happy XD...It litterally woke me up because.. it felt real.. like a premonition ( i know it sounds stupid but oww well...seems like im getting supersticious again lately...and things having come like this don't help it either XD)

Anyway i made it to the middle thats not too bad i guess ^^ i got lots of positive feedback last week too ^^ so its ok i guess.
I wasn't able to build up a tremendous presence but it could have been worse hehe ^^ I'm a bit sad to go but owww well

( at the same time ... timing is perfect.. i just got 2 weeks of exams ahead now XD )

Good Luck to the remaining 5

things are getting really tough now

P.S.Thanks to the few fans and friends out there who cheered me and helped me out

WE CAN BE PSYCHIC BUDDIES!! LAWL!11!!1

For this week's assignment, I wonder what would have happened if an assassin or ritualist was still in the top 5... because they don't have istan armor (hint hint, ANET >.>).

BUT <3 KAMADAN, and go team go!

ahem, double elimination. gurlz you better step it up
