Ahhh! It's killing me to watch this and to now participate. When this contest is over will there be another one? Gooood Luck!

Disclaimer: Firstly, the following information is just SPECULATION! Thing's are subject to change.

Ok, a lot of people have expressed their interest for a Tyria's Next Top Model, Cycle 2 and I can't keep quiet on the matter anymore...so I'm going to give a little ***possible*** taste of what to expect for TNTM Cycle 2. And of course I'm excited for another run myself...so here we go...

Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 2 Promotional Teaser:

lol, it was Charlie's Angels inspired...I know the colors are probably off, and not every profession is shown...but I think it came out pretty good! Yes, this will be my official promotional...thing...for Cycle 2...if there is even one...lol

Date:
Yes, there is a Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 2 in the works...meaning, yes we are willing and working on a second run, but a second cycle will not happen any time soon! The set date for TNTM Cycle 2 is in Late March 2007! Of course this will only happen if there is enough people still interested in the competition! I'm trying to keep up with Anet's decision to release new campaigns every six months...with new characters models/armor/areas open...that would leave alot more variety for this competition.

But remember, a second run will only happen if people are still interested in it! I'm getting mixed signals on this...people have expressed that the time frame of the competition is too wide thus making it boring to keep up with...while others are constantly excited about it...so we'll find out at the end of Cycle One...which is still a long way since we're only on Week 4 of competition!

My only concern with doing a second cycle is the budget/prizes... All the prizes and stuff come directly from me, Gema, and Setsuna...everything that we got from drops and junk, we immediately put into our budget for TNTM. With us trying to match anet's release dates...the budget and quality of prizes might fall quite a bit...but we are working hard in trying to keep everything at more than decent level.

Applications/Preliminaries:
This time round, things will be much...MUCH, more in depth and more involved. I'm still kinda upset that we had someone dropping the contest, so I'm definitely going to screen the application process much more! What you might expect are....

1. An email questionaire. (Kinda like what we did with Cycle 1, but more in depth of course)
2. Specific screenshots. (I want a taste of what you're capable of)
3. In game interview with me.

I want to see if you're really committed to doing this competition, so if you can put up with the tedious application process, you might just put up with the whole competition...lol

Previous Contestants For Cycle 2?
It's definitely a possibility...I know some of you have came to me about this, but I really want everyone to have a shot...I will definitely consider new entries before old ones, but old ones are definitely welcome to try out again. I guess...?

Judge Position Opening
One of our judges is really involved with another online game...so that judge might drop, so we ***MIGHT***hold an additional application for a judging position. Right now, that person is still very committed to helping with our deliberations and is still very active in our affairs...but we'll have to see where everything will go before deciding on that.

If we do recast a judge, let me just say, this will be even more horrendous. When I came up with the idea of Tyria's Next Top Model...I really wanted judges that would be unbiased and fair. So there were no other perfect choice than two of the first people I met when playing Guild Wars! My beloved guildies who shared my interest for Sailor Moon also cared for the Top Model shows, so...here we are lol, so if another person were to take a position, we will expect a lot!

Male Version!?
We are still on the fence about that...I know some have expressed their interest in doing a male version, but I don't know if enough male characters would be interested in doing it...

I think that's the gist of it...for now anyways...

Hope everyone enjoyed this little TNTM Cycle 2 teaser...Please, please pleaseeeee continue to email/pm/post some feedback! This shows me that people are continually interested in this, and having constructive feedback is never a bad thing!

Alright guys, thanks a bunch!!!

Grats Jaden ^_^

Judge 3: It's a good shot, but the animations coming from the hands are a bit much

To be fair, shouldn't the aura be ignored in this? It's not like you can turn it on and off...

And YAY, another chance to enter! I missed the first time...

Katina · Jan 01, 2007, 03:05 PM // 15:05

I submitted a shot, I loved the one I took and I hope you guys will as well! I went through so many Screenshots and got many opinions, it was tough. But silly me didn't read the "movement!" so I have all this glam shots and no movement! But I think I found "the shot".

I didn't take the last challenge too seriously, immunity ftw! It was fun though! =]!

Here is a sample shot, I found it more...riskay, more Maxim magazine like

-Katina
Xo Xo!

Nice Katina! Congrats to Jaden!
I <3-ed the rits and Maria of course. Haha

G'luck w/ the next competition!

Geishe · Jan 01, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

I like the idea of a second cycle of TNTM, LadyNilene. If you have problems with prizes... maybe, fans and contestants can do a donation thingy, or give presents to winners of MOTW?? I would love to see this continue with success.

P.S Nice Shot Katina!

Jaden Stone · Jan 02, 2007, 01:57 AM // 01:57

This assignment is killing me! I am really having trouble getting anything worth while. Must have done over 1000 screens of crap. So frustrating! Why couldn't the prize have been immunity

Here's one that turned out ok... but really didn't fit in the "movement" that the assignment was asking for.

Geishe · Jan 02, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

well, it sure is a dynamic pose (the other requirement from what lady said.)

very very pretty... like usual, Jaden.

broodijzer · Jan 02, 2007, 02:23 PM // 14:23

yeah it's tough. I have the perfect shot, but it's at like a splitsecond of an emote, it hasn't been on a screenshot properly yet

xxSilhouette · Jan 02, 2007, 10:37 PM // 22:37

ohh a cycle two!!! fun stuff!! =) I'll have to go for that one too

Brandon1107 · Jan 02, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

oooh Cycle 2, that means i have another chance eh? also will Cycle 1 contestants get to participate? if there is a Cycle 2, when is it?????

Ember010 · Jan 02, 2007, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Cycle twooo!!! =]=]=]=]!!! Yaaaayy!! im gonna prepare ! im gonna practise heeh@ aahh so many emotiosncant type them all!

**cosyfiep** · Jan 03, 2007, 01:07 AM // 01:07

love to try again, but after the last snafuu doubt that I would make it in, yet again......
but would still love to see what others think of as 'top model' material......

Roguish Seraph · Jan 03, 2007, 02:27 AM // 02:27

I really can't believe that I missed this before, even since I love going through all the threads in The Outer Circle section. I absoluely love ANTM and watched every season ('cept the recent one). I'm actually watching the marathon right now. I know I'm a little crazy but I love taking photographs and the assignment each week they give the models are spectacularly executed giving more of a range of each model.

I'm so bummed that I missed this contest, but I'm excited that there is possibility of another cycle. I will apply definatly next time, but March is stretching it, even if your guys are waiting for a new campaign. We haven't even heard word of anything, not even a rumor. But I understand for it being stressful enough.

I wouldn't mind trying to apply for the other judge position

? I will provide some items,cash,winterdays gifts,etc. for prizes for this cycle or the next if I'm not accepted either. I wish to see more of this and hope it doesn't die because of budget issues.

Anyway good luck to all the Tyria models.

Also..I will help with a male version if any one is interested

Daenara · Jan 03, 2007, 06:07 AM // 06:07

I'd love to participate in another cycle! I've been checking this thread every day or so just to see what's been happening.

That is a beautiful shot Jaden.

I love the contrast of her soft angel wings with her spiky hair!

Geishe · Jan 03, 2007, 06:25 AM // 06:25

LOL, Jaden and her short hair just reminded me of Jaeda and her short hair makeover >.< Sorry, just had to point out the coincidence.

I think I got my shot, this time I actually like it quite a lot. Hope the judges will like it too.

Jaden Stone · Jan 03, 2007, 07:00 AM // 07:00

Submitted mine today. I'm not entirely happy with it, but it works with the assignment. This was by far the hardest and most frustrating assignment for me so far. That +3 better come in handy!

Ember010 · Jan 03, 2007, 11:46 AM // 11:46

Its a shame your not happy about it =[ but if it fits! Wait til you see, in a few days il be sayin "Your not happy with this??!! Why not!?!" lol, id love to take part in cycle two. In any way possible lol.

Perynne · Jan 03, 2007, 04:40 PM // 16:40

Finally submitted mine. Hopefully it works with the assignment, I had too much fun playing with the organic aspect of Melandru.

And also noticed for the first time that ranger arms go all funny during the /jump emote. It looks like they have no shoulders.

Maria The Princess · Jan 03, 2007, 05:58 PM // 17:58

*sigh* i wish eles had their OWN god, so hard to choose lol
