#DNTM5 Last week's photo shoot was something I put a ton of work into and so this week I wanted to keep it a bit simpler, while still delivering a clean photo result. I think this one just had the best coloring and balance to it. Below are a few others from my film I liked but wasn't as confident in:

in an endurance arena? NO THANKS. Lets go back to no repeat comps please. Or MAX 2 times per game.

Where are my designers at?

#DNTM5 I want to start by saying I knew when I submitted this photo not everyone would get it, and the judges may not appreciate the risk I took here especially if they don't see the metaphor, but I told myself if I played all stars I wanted to take risks and deliver AI art that I was proud of, that told better stories, and that pushed the boundaries of the game. This is still my favorite ever concept I have done. I shouldn't need to explain, but the photo is not a literal interpretation as most editorials are not literal. The theme asked us to tell a story of the morning after a big party, so instead of going the solo cup/confetti route which to me doesn't read like a luxury party, I decided to tell the story of the true consequences of the wild night. The model wakes up, heads to the bathroom remembering all the mistakes he made the night before. As the sun comes into the room and he goes to get ready for the day, he looks into the mirror but all he sees is the inner monster he feels like. Vampires often symbolize addiction given the whole 'can't control their thirst/impulses' which is something I have had to deal with with a lot of folks in my life. So he looks into the mirror and sees this monster who can't control his impulses and regrets the sex/drinking/indulging he did last night, but life must go on and he has to go get ready for the day. Also, part of the metaphor is that he is stripped down to his basic self with just basic white under clothes, no glitz and glam, and that's part of the "back to reality" story to enhance the narrative. It is not a literal reflection. And if you notice there is no actual blood outside of the reflection. The reflection is the metaphor and everything outside of that is the 'real life' part of the shot. Top model had a lot of these types of photos where the models would have to pose for two or more separate shots that were then cut together in production to make the photo. We haven't really done that in DNTM so I wanted to push the boundary. No matter what the judges think of the photo I am proud of it because I worked hard on it, and I think the story is pretty compelling.

Does anyone know what happens in Outcaster here if two people get votes both both have idols played on them? Is it just rocks and a random person goes?

to winning any Bingo rewards. When someone got 8 I had like 4 at most on any cards, didn't even have a line on any card until after someone had 2 lines and corners called. And I was 4 away from black out with only like 12 numbers yet to be called. ROUGH

https://kovaze.com/arena/21322 I won a relics arena. I am now done with this being the comp every round, but it is a cute remake of this comp I was hoping would come back! I do also miss the old version still!

Standard arena first vote in for lucky drop. 2750 and I lost. Last Arena 3600 lucky drop score..... I LOST. Screw LUCKY DROP

10 out of my last 13 Arenas I have finished runner up.

2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd I'm sort of over it. Getting so unlucky with the final comps. Goodnight

Well I FINALLY did it. Couldn't have done it without Guib and DailyIcon. Thank you so much! I still do not enjoy that game but at least now I can finally say I won and only play it to help others win. Goodnight!

I set a goal this year to read 24 books (average 2 per month). I started on pace making my way through a large detective series that has like 20 books. Recently I took a break from that to read the Game Changer books (the books Heated Rivalry is based on) for something a bit lighter and happy and GAY. They are super cute and easy to read so I have read 5 of them this month already! I am ahead now of my goal with 17 completed books so far in 2026! Proud of myself. :)

FINALLY https://kovaze.com/arena/20702 I was stuck in the 190s FOREVER and then got to 199 with a streak of 4 wins in a row and then made the finals like 12 times before I finally got my 200th Thanks for all the help and comp tips I have gotten from some folks to make this happen!

#GoomyGiftGiveAway Week 17! I have taken a few weeks off just because I haven't been playing as much and also I bought all the pride flames (love is love you know) so I wanted to let my koins cook in the bank again. BUT IM BACK. This week, tell me who you think is the hottest male tennis player currently active. And I will gift the first person to name my favorite! Feel free to include (appropriate) photos. :)

Sin you have done really well with these updates lately. I know things have been rough at home, but if you keep bringing these types of amazing updates, you will continue to build a great community on this site and that is something pretty powerful!

Am I the only person who thinks this comp was better before whatever was done to 'fix' it? The ball still lags behind my finger or key taps so often that I cant move it any faster than I do. And I barely break 3K on a good run..... I dont get how I would physically ever be able to go fast enough to get 8K or whatever insane scores some ppl post. Am I missing something here or is there still a big imbalance based on processing speed of your device?

We are getting late in the season now, and even though I know the scores probably seem imbalanced, anyone can make the final if they just avoid being bottom 2. In order to do that, you have to pay attention to the fine details. This week overall I was not nearly as inspired as last week's shoot. We had some super high fashion looking photos last week and then this week we kinda reverted back to some pretty basic stuff overall.... With that said #DNTM4 Marilise Pose: 5 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 5 This pose is becoming your signature pose it seems, and it shouldn’t be…. This one leg up open crotch look is like the 3rd or 4th time we have seen it from you and it has been OK at times (never going to be my favorite) but its really not working here. The face is good and you are doing better with the hair. The addition of the hat is great and I love how it matches the shoes because otherwise I think it would have wanted to be a different color. The rest of the photo is also just not giving us much and the way the purse is just sitting carelessly on the driver’s seat with the strap being wonky seems a bit of an oversight which I wouldn’t expect from you. Total: 6.25 Marquis Pose: 6 Face: 8 Styling: 4 Composition: 5 Not the most exciting pose, but you fill the frame well and it makes your arms look lanky and long but in a good way. The neck and angle you chose to have your face at is also good. The styling itself is like…. Fine…. But this is now the 4th?! Time you have gone with all white? Lets get some inspiration from some other colors please please please. If you had used the royal green in some aspects of this look you could have elevated the design a lot with a little. The composition score is lower because I don’t exactly understand where you are in the photo. It looks like the car is in a pool? It could have actually worked if it was a bit more clear what was going on. Total: 5.75 LeQuishaQ Pose: 6 Face: 7 Styling: 8 Composition: 7 A good entry for you, but not your best shot of the season by any means. Having played a season I know it is hard to find inspiration every single week to deliver something that is better than the last, so I don’t fault you for that. I do like the color combinations, the red on the tan is a smart choice. I may have gone with a black heal since you went black gloves (or the reverse) but that is a minor personal preference. The story is cute even though I really hate the cigar as this has been really overused in DNTM across the seasons (especially season 2). Overall good, but not as great as you can be this time. Total: 7.0 GuiltyAsSin Pose: 7 Face: 8 Styling: 6 Composition: 6 I enjoy this photo, but a few things hold it back for me. The pose is cute, but I do think wearing the shoes would have helped. Your face is giving here, and it aids in the story telling. Now the rest of the details don’t exactly add up to the story like the old school TV and then a playboy mag? Also the car front is a bit off proportionally. Otherwise this is a good photo and you as a model stand out, just some of the fine details lower the overall photo score. Total: 6.75 CupidStunt Pose: 7 Face: 6 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 The pose is a bit commercial, but for me somehow it does work for this shot. You did hide the neck with the scarf which doesn’t help. Try bunching it up a bit more there so it doesn’t cover the neck or just have it cross that part of the body a bit lower. I do like the dress and the overall look, and the coloring of the photo is great. The money is cheesy and contributes to the commercial nature to this photo. Total: 6.5 Antog Pose: 6 Face: 5 Styling: 6 Composition: 5 This is one of your first misses for me. The pose is alright, but does make your legs look pretty short. I like the movement of the hair and scarf. When you zoom in on the face it is pretty blah…. I know with blue hair you have a bit more limited colors for your styling to avoid clashing, but you seem to lean into just blues every week and there are some better options that could make you really stand out and actually leverage the hair. The cigarette again? I really hate it. Also, you let the image get very overprocessed. Smooth it out at the end before submitting. Total: 5.5 Fancy Pose: 7 Face: 7 Styling: 7 Composition: 6 This was almost my favorite photo of the week. I like the lighting, the face, the outfit and the pose. Nothing is like 10/10 impressive, but it all does work well. My only thing that holds the photo back is the car set up looks way off (the wheel coming diagonally and the windshield being a bit odd…) If not for those details I think this would get my top photo but now unfortunately I have to give it to Ann... I mean Quisha….. again…. Total: 6.75 Ranks Quisha 7.0 Fancy: 6.75 Guilty: 6.75 Cupid: 6.5 Marilise: 6.25 Marquis: 5.75 Antog: 5.5
