Just testing things out. Need my growler out for it.

Robin here! Back with another set of Unwanted Critiques for #DNTM5! Last episode, the models were put in a Botanical Garden. Some grew and thrived while some wilted. Luckily, it was a non-elimination round to get things started with the special All-Stars format, but this Episode someone will be going home, but we are not focusing on that right now. Before we get onto Episode 2, let’s compare my rankings with the official ones! Plus I have a lovely surprise (or maybe not depending on how you feel). 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Episode 1 Rankings: https://kovaze.com/group_thread/371 Listed below are the official rankings from last episode, and next to it is my prediction. If I was off, I will include how far I was because I love data 1st: Manyo (Correct) ✅ 2nd: Medusa (Incorrect: My Placement: 5th) ❌ (Off by 3 Placements) 3rd: Guilty (Incorrect: My Placement: 15th) ❌ (Off by 12 Placements) 4th: Seong (Incorrect: My Placement: 2nd) ❌ (Off by 2 Placements) 5th: Maris (Incorrect: My Placement: 6th) ❌ (Off by 1 Placement) 6th: Fancy (Incorrect: My Placement: 3rd) ❌ (Off by 3 Placements) 7th: Angie (Incorrect: My Placement: 12th) ❌ (Off by 5 Placements) 8th: Goomy (Incorrect: My Placement: 11th) ❌ (Off by 3 Placements) 9th: Cupid (Incorrect: My Placement: 13th) ❌ (Off by 4 Placements) 10th: Gabs (Incorrect: My Placement: 4th) ❌ (Off by 6 Placements) 11th: Lewis (Incorrect: My Placement: 8th) ❌ (Off by 3 Placements) 12th: Thiii (Incorrect: My Placement: 10th) ❌ (Off by 2 Placements) 13th: ohEMgee (Incorrect: My Placement: 9th) ❌ (Off by 4 Placements) 14th: Jordie (Incorrect: My Placement: 7th) ❌ (Off by 7 Placements) 15th: Kali (Incorrect: My Placement: 14th) ❌ (Off by 1 Placement) 16th: Honey (Incorrect: My Placement: 17th) ❌ (Off by 1 Placement) 17th: Marquis (Incorrect: My Placement: 16th) ❌ Off by 1 Placement) Total Correct: 1/17 So, kind of a bit scattered, especially in the middle spots, but at least I got 1st place right! Now onto the surprise! Since I have been giving feedback, I think it is only fair if I submit something for those to provide their input. Now I probably didn’t put in the full 1000% effort as the players do, but enough that I feel comfortable posting if I were a contestant on the Spin Spin Off "DNTM Meh Stars". Those who aren’t All-Stars but are there for a good time. Attached is my submission plus the reference model that I will use! My vision was to go with Cherry Blossoms and an illuminating atmosphere. Maybe a bit fantasy, but I really love the color and look of Cherry Blossoms (it was the plan, but I think blowing them up to make them large loses their blossom vibe, though they still have an origin there) and wanted to incorporate the flower and colors in my look. Initially, I wanted to make it a night scene to balance the brightness, but when I got an illuminated result, I really liked it and went with that route. I also wanted the background to be similar to the Metal Gear Solid 3 (or Delta) scenery from the final boss battle in the game. It is such a beautiful but sad moment, and the flowers in it (not cherry blossoms, but similar in color) help sell the imagery/mood of the entire game (for those who played it). Unfortunately, after trying it out, the execution didn’t fully work out, so I went with the final version that we see here, but it was a nice thought. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 In this episode, the models celebrated surviving the first All-Stars photoshoot and partied a bit too hard; now we are seeing the aftermath. This photoshoot was called 🥂 The Morning After 🥂 ℹ️ Models had to create a high-fashion editorial inspired by the morning after a wild night out. The image should capture the glamorous aftermath of the celebration while still feeling luxurious, stylish, and magazine-worthy. The photoshoot must take place IN or AROUND a house, villa, apartment, or any other residential property. Models were free to use any indoor or outdoor area of the home. Since the party took place at the house, the home should reflect the atmosphere of the following morning.ℹ️ What I’m Looking For: 🟢 High-fashion photo that showcases the morning after a wild night out. 🟢Should show a glamorous aftermath (which for me would be no sloppy drunk on the floor covered in puke...something you would typically see in a comedy movie about a party)\ 🟢Still look luxurious, stylish, and something appropriate for a magazine (Which for me would be quick to get yourself together for a magazine shoot later that day) 🟢Photo is located at a home, either inside or outside, and is some part of the home. 🟢Photo should reflect the atmosphere of the following morning (Which for me would be giving me an idea of what happened at the party, so the story in that context) Just like last episode, I will go through the photos per season and give out stars. This episode will have 5! No graphics for it because of time purposes, but I will have Star Emojis. Finally again, this is just my opinion. It doesn’t affect the game. Remember, have fun, and I just enjoy seeing the stuff. Episode 2 Photos: https://kovaze.com/group_thread/379 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 First Up Season 1 Gabs I like the setup of this photo. One thing that really stood out to me is your overall pose. It is giving exhausted but still beautiful. Looking at your face, I can sense you are drained from the events, but you are still giving your full energy. I love the upper part of your outfit, but a bit confused about the bottom part. I can’t tell if the skirt is the actual skirt or if you are just covered in party streamers or not. I think a skirt is a nice choice, but I am not a fan of the material. I like the atmosphere of the aftermath; it gives me the sense of something interesting happened, especially with the bottle on the floor, but some items confused me, especially since there are no additional clues to help with the story. Those would be the mask, the watch, and maybe the fur coat/boat on the stairs. Was it a masquerade-type party or a Mardi Gras style? Those little details confused me a bit, but overall you did well in the presentation; they just threw me off. Total ⭐’s: 4/5 AngieKStan This is a good photo, and I really love the butterfly aesthetic from the outfit to them being placed on you. From a quick glance of the photo and how the focus is on you, I don’t get “The Morning After” from it. I see the glass and bottle on the ground, but if you look at the table, it looks neatly fine as if something will be happening instead of something already having happened. That said, I really enjoy the pose. I love the fantasy that it brings and I get lost in your eyes with that gaze you provide. The photo gives something you see for a garden party vibes. I think the photo is very good but a small miss on the prompt, though. Maybe if you were on the table doing that I think that would be a bit better to fit what the prompt was asking. Total ⭐’s: 3.5/5 OhEMgee I see the vision that you were going with in this image, but I think the execution was a miss. I like the background of the cups spilled on the table, the broken window, and I think some article of clothing on the light fixture, but the way the picture is angled, it gets lost. Your pose is fine, but it gives me the impression that you arrived at the party and told the photographer hey I like this; let’s take a photo and then left the party instead of staying there for the entire night. The mascara dripping from your eyes is a nice touch, but there needs to be more. I do love the outfit, and it’s very appealing on you. Part of me thinks if you were sitting at the table (as if you passed out with your head lying down and you woke up) and doing a pose similar to what you did, I think that would be better. It will better showcase the whole “Morning After Vibes” and show more that you were there for the entire time at the party. Add more to the story, I guess. Total ⭐’s: 3.5/5 Jordie I like this! I love most of the setup around you. There are some details that I would change, but that is just me being picky (the flamingo being deflated or something on it, and the lighting being more crack-of-dawn vibes). These details aren’t bad where I’m like WORST PHOTO EVER, but would add more to the story, and I feel like your pose is great, but I picture it being a nighttime pose; since the prompt wasn’t that, then crack of dawn would be a nice balance to meet the prompt and fit the vibes it gives me. Maybe a cute detail would be the shoes you had been in the pool too, but I do love that you had no shoes in this shot (even though I am not a fan of feet, I understand the appropriate time when it should be used). I don’t know if the judges will say anything about part of your foot being cropped but that could just be the posting, but it is just a couple of toes...either way, I love the pose that you did and the outfit looks great. It probably looked amazing prior to and during the party, and honestly, after a nice clean, it will be ready for the next party. Total ⭐’s: 5/5 Next Up: Season 2! KaliMinaj This is an interesting photo. I do like it, but it took me a while to get it. I’m not going to fault you for it being upside down; I can just flip my whole computer upside down to see it the image right side up (there is a better way to handle this, but that was the first solution for me and I can’t go back). The photo gives fun vibes and makes me want to know more about what happened. I do think the lighting should have been a bit better to get a better understanding of the stuff around, but maybe you had it like that to help showcase the pinks and yellows. I don’t know if “Morning After” would be the first thing that comes to my mind seeing this. Things that come to my mind are “Party Explosion”, “Drug Trip,” “Listening to Confessions II”. Overall, I like it. Total ⭐’s: 3.5/5 Medusaluh This shot gives movie film vibes, and I really like the lighting, especially the slits of light on your body. I think the addition of the butler cleaning up is a nice touch just because the aftermath isn’t that messy, BUT it is because he spent so much cleaning up and stuff. The pose is fine, and it is giving stay focused on me even though I'm surrounded by a mess. The one thing that I would critique is your look in general. You look fine, but it does not give me “Morning After”. I wish you gave a little bit of Messy Glamor. Maybe some streamers on you or something that makes you not look so clean. I think with the prompt, it was about you just waking up; now let’s take a picture, and I don’t get that. You look great but too great for the prompt. But besides that, I like this! Total ⭐’s: 4/5 Manyomash I like the Alice in Wonderland-inspired theme that you have going on. I do wish that if you were going with that theme, maybe the pose OR the angle of the photo could have gone with it. Maybe something that fit with the perspective of how we see you (like Alice getting bigger and smaller). Similar to what Thiii did in their photo last round, but that might be a me thing though. I just wish you opened up a bit more, since the pose feels a bit closed off and you look a bit bored in your facial reaction. I do like the addition of the other models in the background, but I wish they were exaggerated a bit more. They are giving me a bit of amateur theatre acting of “sleeping or passed out”. I’m being a bit critical on this because when I think of Alice in Wonderland, I think of an overall dramatic atmosphere, so I expect that in a photo that references that. I might be alone in this mindset, and that is okay, but please don’t think that I believe your photo is bad; I just wanted more because I see this as an out-of-the-box route for this theme. I am looking forward to seeing what the judges say on this one (in a positive way). Besides all of that, I still think the photo is fine. Total ⭐’s: 3.5/5 Maris This is interesting. The atmosphere fits the vibe of the theme, but the pose is an interesting choice. I personally think it would be better if you did it the other way around, where you were on the couch. It would do the outfit more justice by showcasing it that way. Maybe on the couch kind of tired, holding a drink would help, plus with the atmosphere of the photo doesn’t give “The Morning After” Prompt. It gives more of a fight happened and I’m having a hard time seeing if the floor is covered with sparkles or glass which, if it is glass, then maybe lying on the floor isn’t the best choice. Overall, not a bad photo. Total ⭐’s: 2.5/5 Next is Season 3: Seong This is good. One thing I want to note is the background models. They are more in tune with the situation, which is something I mentioned for Manyo. I am not a fan of the pose. Something about it makes it seem that you were pushed onto the table instead of maybe waking up from it. Maybe having one of your arms up on your head could have helped. I also wished your outfit stood out a bit more. It kind of blends in with the table, especially with the white centerpiece. I am not saying something too flashy but a better pop of color like red (if you remove the red thing underneath you. OR you could have put like a wine stain on you. You are on a table, and you look clean. Seems sus. Now it is giving me is everyone around you was murdered and you were the killer and this is you acting like you were attacked so you didn’t look like the killer, but guess what, I’ve seen Scream a lot of times, I know the killer...once they reveal it. Not a bad photo; it is just the details for me. I think you can be dirty/messy but still look good. (Dimitra, can the next photoshoot be a Mud Wrestling Photoshoot?) Total ⭐’s: 4/5 Thiii How did you get a picture of me??? This is literally me after like two drinks (I’m not a lightweight, I’m just a quick fun time). First with the outfit, it is almost a full hit with me. The detail of one glove on with the other off was nice; I just wished you did the same with the shoes. The dress is very nice, especially with the contrast of the couch. The environment is nice, and I love the morning dawn setting. It gives me the impression that maybe you were up all night and you are barely surviving, which is shown on your face. 🔥HOT TAKE ALERT🔥 I like your face like that. Is it model-worthy???? I don’t think so but also I’m not traditional judge...I’m not even a judge at all. It gives realism and shows the raw beauty of what actual happens. I don’t want that fake shit, thinking I will look all pretty and nothing fazes me after 15 tequila shots and 1 diet vodka. I do wish more things happened in the scenery, though, but overall I do like this photo. I just hope this isn’t a Glitter situation. If it does. I will not bully the judges because they will bully back and win, but in my fan fiction I will def win. Total ⭐’s: 4/5 honey Much better than last round. I want to get out the negative stuff first. I think the quality could have been touched up a bit and part of me wished you had some legware on (nice black stocking) to match with the lovely red dress you had on. Now the story I”m getting is that is this after your wedding? I’m asking cause in the background I see something white in the back, and it looks like a dress. That is where my mind went and I know brides tend to change out of their dresses to something more comfortable/don’t want to ruin their dress, but I don’t recall if it is another white dress or whatever they want OR is it an award show because I see an award on the floor (I think that is). Either way, I am intrigued, especially with the drit or whatever is smeared in the room (or that is the marble design). That is why I wish there was some clarity, because I think my questions could be answered from that. I like the pose because it gives a whole I woke up from a night, and you could be feeling the effects from the party, but maybe not, but the eating of whatever food item (either a piece of chocolate cake or blackberry) is giving you are talking to whoever you hooked up with, and it's like sooooo, are you going to leave bitch? I have to go do a photoshoot at 11 AM and then film When Kate Killed Jack at 4. Also, excellent job on the mirror part because those little details matter, and it looks identical as if it were real. Total ⭐’s: 4.5/5 Goomybear I’m mixed on this because I think this is a powerful image and normally with things like mirrors and such, you need to be consistent, but clearly this is more of a piece of showcasing imagery of telling the story that you cheated on your spouse (or maybe your spouse is there and the other person was there for fun and you felt bad but you liked it, which I think the multiple interpretations of it makes the piece fascinating), or something that symbolizes the vampire. Like you crave the blood or lust of others. I’m not doing a literary analysis of this. Here is my issue, though. Some parts seem a bit off in the choices. The undershirt on the ceiling fan...a bit off. It’s giving underwear there and I see that more of a comical thing in a movie (in my opinion) I don’t know if that is your clothes or one of the lovers in the bed. If you wanted to showcase their clothes, maybe in the champagne bucket because the vibes give hot and intense, and somehow the bucket and champagne seem fine. The arms on the vampire you are both clean with no tattoos (plus the butterfly one right), while the present world has the sleeve. I know mirrors flip the image (I think, science hurts my brain), but it is clear that both arms are clean from ink). Finally, the tear on the present you’s face. It doesn’t look real...like yes, we see the vampire thing, but still. Besides all of that, I think what you did was an interesting choice, and I think the execution would have been stronger without the small details that led to inconsistencies. Total ⭐’s: 4/5 Lewis Very nice! I love the outfit choice and how it is a great contrast to the centerfold of the table. This is what I kinda wanted a bit with Seong’s outfit in a way. The details around you are very nice, especially the chairs in the background and whatever set pieces in front of you. I don’t know what they are, but I know they shouldn’t be placed there like that. Even the oysters on the side were a nice touch too. The pose is fine, but maybe it is me, but I feel like the placement of your legs and body is a bit off. Like your body is in one section and your legs are in another, and it looks like you are connected because of the blend of the black in your outfit and the coat. It throws me off a bit, because I think it is fine, but part of me thinks...maybe not. I also wished you showed a bit of dirtiness, like I was here at the party and this was “The Morning After”. Similar to what I said to Medusa. I just don’t want the photo to be like ah look at a messy spot; let me just lay there. I want it to be more of like hey I was here; let’s take a photo so I can show off how amazing this party it was and also me (which is how I saw the prompt). Besides that, great job! Total ⭐’s: 4/5 Finally is Season 4 GuiltyAsSin This looks fun. I love the color choice in your outfit, and the atmosphere vibes are nice. It makes me want to know what party happened the night before. I do think some of the choices of the party aftermath were a miss, like the floating pool float. It is too neat. Unless it is for breakfast, I think it is out of place then. I think it would be better if the food was scattered around and maybe something was covered on the clam floaty thing in the back. The pose you have is interesting. Personally, I find it very uncomfortable (beauty hurts I guess), but also I do see it as like you woke up on the diving board and are preparing to get off of it, and this was the action shot. You look messy but in a good way. Like you can just go to the bathroom, touch up a bit and then leave the place and do a quick errand in that look. Good job! Keep it up! Total ⭐’s: 4/5 Marquis I like the idea of posing with the broken chandelier (yes I think that it is), but I think it needed to be in the center of the image where we can see the entire thing...maybe like you were on a throne-style. It opens up the image as well because you can show more of what happened at the event, because you do have a couple of bottles, but it could be a drunken tirade. If there were more items, it could seem more like a party than a solo thing. You do a good job with the whole white/cream atmosphere. The color blocking is nice. I can’t tell if your outfit was ripped or not on the part that you are leaning on, or if it was made where one side has a long sleeve and the other does it. Part of me hopes it was ripped and it made it like a fashion thing, but if not, that is fine. Either fantasy is okay with me. Much improvement from last round; just keep the momentum Total ⭐’s: 3.5/5 Fancy So I like the pose, the lying on the pool floaty, and the outfit. Everything else I think needs to be monitored and adjusted. I see the vision, but the execution wasn’t the best. From how I see it, you are giving bad-ass vibes with your cigar in the pool. Maybe the party you were at wasn't your home, and the person whose home the party was at finally arrived, saw the mess, then saw you, and it was like you saying “hey” or some shit like that. If you were in the center of the pool, surrounded by even more mess (bottles, drink glasses, a plant, other things that would be around the pool but ended up in the pool). I think that would be stronger because the light confetti gives more of a reflection-or-leave vibe in the pool, and I see one bottle and a disco ball, which I don’t think is that much/stereotypical stuff. Maybe adjusting the lighting to be early in the morning would help, and honestly, have the cigar lit up. I think that would complete the overall package too. I just think this was a different theme or a general photo; this would be fine, but knowing what the prompt is, I do think it missed a bit. Total ⭐’s: 4/5 CupidStunt You fell into the trap of a good idea but some execution problems that a lot of people fell into with this theme. For example, the wine glasses. I think they should all be spilt because from what I am seeing, you tried to get out of the tub, but you fell. Their being placed there and not in harm's way just feels off/staged. Plus if they fell off you could add more wine to the dress (which I do love the detail to the outfit and make it more believable). What if you had one of your legs that is in the air be where the glasses are, because I think that will make the pose better in this situation. I’m a bit confused about the additional clothes that are in the tub on the chandelier. Did you change them? Were you going to take a bath or something, if so have some water on the floor or something. I just think you're missing a few pieces here to make this puzzle feel complete. Besides that, I do like the photo; I wish you had more of a reaction on your face. You are giving I bumped my head; react to it. That tub is marble, and that shit probs hurt.

Make sure to DM Dinosaur the chats too. @AmandaSings04

Welcome everyone! Robin here with my unsolicited opinions on the looks for this week’s episode of DNTM5. It’s All-Stars season, so Dimi has begged and pleaded the best of the best non-winners to come back and compete again, and I’m going to give my thoughts on their looks till I lose interest/burnout (hopefully longer this time). Since the rules have changed for this season, I’m going to change my rules too because I can do it! I’m still going to critique the photos like usual, but I’m going to give out STARS! Because it is All-Stars! Plus I will be awarding the top photo from each model per season and which season had the overall best photos for that episode as well! Finally, remember: will I be critiquing you on if this will be on Vogue or Truck Stop Monthly? Probably not. Someone else can do that. I’m just having fun looking at the photos and not taking it too seriously. It isn’t like this game is life or death. Or is it??? 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Category Theme: 🌺 Botanical World 🌿 ℹ️A world where flowers and plants are larger than life. Pose CONFIDENTLY among GIANT BLOOMS and OVERSIZED leaves, creating a striking high-fashion editorial image. Styling, pose, and expression should work in HARMONY with the surreal botanical setting to deliver a POWERFUL and ELEGANT fashion shot.ℹ️ What I’m Looking For: 🟢An image with flowers/plants that demonstrate a larger-than-life atmosphere or some resemblance of it in your story. 🟢A pose that shows confidence 🟢Styling in your outfit, the pose, and facial expression working together with the setting. 🟢Overall shot delivers something powerful and elegant 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 First Up! Season 1 Gabs: This is a nice image. The model fits well with the scenery and gives a statue-like fairy feel, like the one you would encounter on a quest. Maybe you know this land, and you encounter the traveler to tell them about the dangers it might bring. The pose looks fine to me. I think, depending on the scenery/situation, it might not be the best, but it works well for this, and it lets you show more of the great outfit you have. Maybe open the arm more that holds the flower you have. Speaking of styling, I love the whole ensemble, and everything goes together with the outfit, style, and scenery. I love your hair blowing in the wind, and the sparkles (or maybe seed things) in the background make it look like it is windy in the back without being too over dramatic where we could lose focus on you. I don’t think I’m getting full powerful in the shot, but I do see elegance with the colors and brightness. I think maybe if you opened up more that would help, but I do like the pose in general. AngieKStan: I think this is a fine image, but when I think of Angie, I don’t think of casually lying down. I think of fierce, striking, showstopping, which the colors of the image give, but the body/pose is not; we will get to that in a moment. The overall image doesn’t fully give a larger-than-life atmosphere. Yes, the mushroom looks kinda big, but everything else looks average size to me. I see a waterfall in the background, and all I’m thinking is, dam what if you were there? Underneath that, and then surrounded by these gorgeous flowers that are very big. I think that would be better. This is giving " Hey, come to this paradise vibes. The pose is okay, but it needs more confidence because I see your (right arm) just dangling (from my perspective), and it should be more on your leg or something. That would have helped more. The face is stunning though; no note on that besides stunning, and I love that clavicle. What you do present, though- with the outfit, pose, and facial expression- does work together, just not fully what the prompt was asking, but I am not going to discredit something that is good even if it missed the prompt in my eyes. Overall, I think the shot was fine, but I think you could have gone another mile with it to make it so much better. Ohemgee: When I first saw this, I was getting disco 70’s vibes. Maybe the bell-bottom pant legs or the bangs you had, but I liked it. I like the concept of the photo, but I think the execution was a tad off. Part of me thinks of the angle of the shot. You lose focus of the Venus flytraps, and to me the story is you being surrounded by them, but you don’t give a flying shit about it. We lose that from the angle. Maybe if you had different sizes that could have helped, or have them closer to you, but I must say I do love the palm tree sunset in the background; it makes me want to preorder GTA6 so bad. I like the pose. The hand on your hip and your overall stank face (which is a compliment and gives Allison Dilaurentis from Pretty Little Liars vibes) help sell this so well. The styling of the outfit is interesting. I like the outfit and the accents of the leaves/flowers around it, but I’m a bit mix on the pink part because it kind of blends in a bit with the plant you are on. Maybe make the plank a bit darker to help with that and what about wearing some stockings and gloves because it does match your skin tone a lot. I can’t think of a color that would best fit (my mind jumps to green, but there could be others), but be aware of the color blocking. Hopefully Torimarie can give some feedback on it in the critiques because they probably had to deal with similar stuff like you did on their season. Besides that, I think the overall shot delivers something powerful, maybe some elegance, but a lot of power. Jordie: This is a good start. The first thing that catches my attention is the pose, and it is very elegant but you show command in it. I love the wind flowing in your hair, and that helps so much with it. The image is fine; I sent a larger-than-life atmosphere, but it isn’t super grand. If I replaced the flowers with leaves, then it wouldn’t be a big difference, but it still fits what was being asked in a superficial way. One thing I did notice was your fingers looked a bit off on both hands. The hand pointing down the middle finger looks like it was placed last minute and got squished to a mini finger, while the hand touching the flower looks like you have extra fingers and they are turning into tentacle fingers. Be careful with that because I don’t know how the judges will respond, especially with this being All-Stars. Besides that, I think the styling of the outfit is nice, low-key; the outfit looks like it was made from the flowers, which I say as a compliment, and I could see this in a magazine, especially like a fragrance ad because the flowers you are around give me perfume stuff, and I think they usually show off the notes in an ad. Next Up is Season 2: KaliMinaj: I really don’t want to get banned for saying this, but the image looks like the birds are helping you choke yourself. They have the string and if you follow it straight to your neck with that dark shadow...Disney Princess got a kink which I guess to each their own. Besides that, I think this is a fine image, but I not meeting the prompt. Part of it might be the birds, but I think another is that the flowers behind you don’t demonstrate a larger-than-life atmosphere in the image. They just give a backdrop, and that is it and I think they need to be more involved with the image, hence the “larger than life” part. The pose is fine; the arm that is lying down next to you feels a bit awkward. Part of me wished you were in some of the water, like your dress was touching so why can’t you? Maybe one leg up or something? I also wished your hair was tied up. I can see the vision of this being a great photo; I just think a couple of more touches would have helped. I like it, but I just don’t think it fully stands out the best from other photos I’ve seen. Medusaluh: So I’ve seen from other people that your photo or outfit is like a reference (I think), but I am not going to Google that because that isn’t my pay grade. I must say, I hope to see more of your own personal style/brand unless you just do references, which is perfectly fine; that is your thing (which is something for all). Usually I see like a signature color, or maybe a country, or always having a purse. With that being said, I’m just going to give my input on the image and no outside stuff. The photo is interesting. Clearly taken from an old camera, maybe hand-painted because of the texture/style. At first glance, I thought it was one of those background people posts where the feet aren't on a flat surface, which makes the background look awkward, but clearly I see it is a flytrap. It is kind of giving me the impression that you are in a windstorm as well. I like it because of the juxtaposition of the model being very calm, especially in dangerous situations. I’m not the best fan of the pose because it is just standing there, but it does help with the story, though. The outfit is interesting. It is giving me, I am going swimming. I get out of the pool, then I trip and fall into a patch of grass, and I took half of the grass with me when I stood back up. This was a bold risk, and I think overall it was a hit, with some choices that could be hit or miss depending on the person. It makes you think. Manyomash This is so gorgeous! So beautiful, it is giving wedding-day realness. The flowers are big and blooming. Your pose is giving, look, it is my special fucking day, and if anyone wears fucking white I will make sure they will suffer an agonizing death. The style of the scenery, the flowers, and you is chef kiss. It probably looks so comfortable too. I know I only look at magazines for the pictures of men’s butts, but I could see this in a bridal one very easily. This is a great start to the competition, and I will fight on a hill if anyone says this is bad. I have my knife ready (for banning purposes, I do not have a knife, don’t ban me, please). Maris This is cute! I love the color choices you made with this, and sitting on the flower in a way that lets us see the whole flower is a nice touch. It is a beautiful scene, well most of it. The two giant leaves are kind of eh. Part of me wishes they were on the side of the image, sort of like fanning you like palm fronts, or maybe just gone in general and show off a beautiful backdrop. They aren’t horrible, but I think better options could be used. The dress is really nice, and I love the hairpiece you have too. The pose is cute, but the hand pose next to your face is a bit weird. It looks like you are trying to do the call me sign, and it just throws away the fantasy. I think if you just mimicked what the other hand was doing it would be okay, or have a flower in your hand and throw it in the air. Something than what you were doing there. Also, maybe it is me and not being a fan of feet, but the foot on the right side (one not in the water) looks weird, more specifically the toes. They look way to long and not proportioned right like the other foot, and we didn’t get sad sob backstory that you had a messed-up foot from saving someone from a burning fire, so be aware of that cause as mentioned before, idk how strict the judges will be on this stuff because it is All-Stars, but I feel like they will be. Besides that, good job! Next Up is Season 3: Seong This is great! It’s giving warrior-type vibes, who is either preparing for a final battle or maybe a wedding...maybe both??? I do think the flower/plants demonstrates a larger-than-life atmosphere but you did it in a way where it didn’t engulf you, which allowed you to add other elements like the Geese (or is it a Swan????, I want to say Goose). I like the darkness in the setting, but still enough moonlight to lighten you up. Part of me wished you had a little bit of light in the center of the flowers that were in the water to illuminate it more, but that is me being nit picky/curious. I The pose is great. The body is open and as you are directly looking up you are focused on the fan and it is strong. Every part of your body has purpose; nothing is just letting loose. Powerful and elegant for sure in this photo and it draws me in to wonder what is going to happen next. After finishing this, I think maybe illuminating a bit of the darkness would help with the flowers a bit because we don’t want those to get lost since that was teh prompt. Thiii I think this is neat. There are some choices that I think I would have made differently, but that is the joy of this competition. The perspective of how the photo was taken is interesting because it makes the person taking the photo small, and the WHOLE world is larger than life, including the model, which was a fun take. I think the story here is maybe you are trying to show off the shoes, like maybe an ad for that or something, but I’m not a fan of the outfit and here is why. Everything blends together. Yes, we can see some of the different layers, but the colors all blend in, and at a quick glance, that could be one bodysuit, or a first draft 3D Printed Outfit. I love the details on the shoes, but they look a bit pale. They could have been more standout since the focus was on the perspective that I’m seeing in this photo, or did something different with the shoe. I don’t know what your vision was, but that is what I was getting. I think if that was executed well this would be an interesting risk that would work well (for me tbh). The pose is good; the face, though, is giving me bratty child. Maybe it is the two random-ass pigtails (which either can go or be put somewhere else; they felt off). Overall, I like the concept, it is something different so far, but I think some choices were a bit off. I think this would be a fun image to play around more to make it grander and sharper, though. honey Part of me wished that Dimi kept the non-elimination part a secret because this look gives me I just found out this week nobody goes home, so I’m good vibes. It just feels safe. You are just chilling on a giant flower, and that is it. This is a good start, but it needs to go up a couple of more levels. The pose is giving standing-up-lying-down vibes. I could Photoshop you onto a beach chair, and people could think, oh, you are lying down, and never think you were actually originally standing up. The outfit is fine; I wish the entire thing covered your feet, but I do like the lace parts. The details, like there is no sign of wetness on the bottom of the cape/drape touching the water, take things out of the illusion. I just wish you did a bit more on this one. Goomybear You love that purple. I must commend you on the color blocking because I feel like that was like an issue I mentioned before since you used a lot of purple tones. Would like to see some diversity in other colors, but if you can work your purple nurple, then purple it. I think the image is fine. I don’t see a larger-than-life situation. In your case, I think you need to be engulfed by it or maybe change the lighting to more of a nighttime setting. I like the upper part of the pose. Very dainty in a nice way. I do wish the hand that is in the plant had something on it. Idk what plant you are touching or if that is a real plant or not, but I think it would be neat if something was on it, to give it more of a realistic (in the sense of the photo) touch. I don’t know what I’m seeing with the foot pose. Maybe it is the feet-only part or just how it is presented because I’m confused. I’m not getting confident. I do love the styling of the outfit though; it does give me like a camouflage style from a certain angle and you could be that plant. Hell maybe the story is that you are being chased by a hunter and use that camo to hide from them. Overall, not a bad first shot. Lewis First, the scenery/backdrop for this shot is breathtaking. I love the colors, and that giant ass flower is so nice, and the way it balances/works with your dress is great! The only critique I have on it is that the portion underneath the flower is a bit weird with the coloring. It gives aquatic colors. I think if you changed the color of the sky into a bright blue sky, it wouldn’t confuse me with underwater colors, especially since the purple flowers give me coral reef vibes lol. Everything else, though, I love! The pose is nice and I like you holding your dress. I am not a big fan of the other arm on your head/eyes close part. The way it looks kind of gives like “shit I have a long day ahead; I gotta get through this”. I think you need to have more of a “wow look at this amazing day. I’m beautiful, baby” vibe, so maybe a pose like eyes open, smiling, using your hand to push your hair back because it is breezy. I think that would look a bit better and show confidence. Also, if you see the clouds, they are giving cumulonimbus (spelling) which could lead to a storm, and we don’t want that so maybe a more uplifting pose could balance it out. Those little details I”m poking at. Overall, good job! Finally Season 4 GuiltyAsSin This is an interesting one. It doesn’t scream larger than life to me, but I feel like the frame situation has something going on with it. I like you doing the whole holding the frame, stepping in or out of it? I do think there are some technical errors, though, to be aware of, such the stepping part, because the image has you stepping through the image, but from looking at it you are already through the image unless your pose is supposed to be that; then it just looks kind of weird to be honest. Then there is that awkward blur at the bottom of the image and on the left side too, which I don’t understand either. I think I could look past the pose part for now (even though it is All-Stars), but the out-of-the-blue blur parts idk, unless that was something you didn’t do. I would also say that tree in the background is distracting because it is the same type of wood as the frame, so it looks like a weird copy is happening. I think if you move it in a way where it isn’t in your focus, it would look a bit better, or maybe just do something in general, but maybe you had a vision, and I just didn’t get it. Besides that, I do like the outfit; it is very nice, but doesn’t fully fit the scenery...maybe the sand, but nothing related to the blue part. I think the overall picture does offer a mystery, though, but since I know what the prompt is I don’t think I can say it is a mystery. Marquis This is giving me Whoville meets Riverdale meets Tim Burton who made out with Ryan Murphy in the closet for 7 mins vibes. The outfit is an interesting touch, and it does well with the background, but idk if it fits well with the scenery. It feels out of place, like we could put you somewhere else that is much more suited for you. The pose is okay; I think the way you have your foot up is placed where it doesn’t seem connected to the flower, but your face feels a bit emotionless. Maybe because the outfit is causing pain or something. Lowkey I know male avi’s need outfits so this could be something sold in the shops, but besides that, I just think this was a miss. What I think would be better is if you were wandering in the forest in a dark cherry color flowers blooming, surroundings with maybe a warm amber/fire background, sort of like a medieval times atmosphere. Maybe you could be a prince looking for your love and you are cutting through those blooming flowers or something because this is not giving. Fancy I like this. This is giving very funky beats vibes as you are walking through this field. The flower you have your hand on is giving like a fancy cane you have. I like how you are staring at the camera to give some sense of eye smooching to the person looking at it. I do wish you showed some crushed flowers on the ground to give some color on it, but I guess your shoes helped, and I am not a fan of the clouds. I wish it was either full dark with illumination or just clear blue skies. The cumulonimbus ones are not working out for me, but after seeing the image for the 10th time, I think the flower you are holding isn’t a cane, but an umbrella, which makes me wish we had some resemblance of rain happening to help with that. Besides that, great start! CupidStunt This is giving me a romance novel cover. I like the atmosphere that this photo brings, but the issue I’m having is your outfit kind of absorbs into the flowers a bit. I wish you made the rose colors more stereotypical red (so a bit brighter) so we can see them more, because I think that will make your outfit color easier to see. Maybe add a necklace too; well, you have one but something else and bigger. That small key ain’t unlocking big secrets in this romance land. We know he loves you, but do we know if he is your cousin or not (idk what secrets are revealed in these stories so we are going with the cousin theory)? I think it is interesting that you are holding onto giant stem of a rose. I wonder how much the photo would improve if you pricked your hand and had blood dripping on from it, might be bad ass or not. The pose looks fine but something about the legs looks a bit weird but maybe it is the lighting that makes like that. Overall, I think you have a fine photo, just small little improvements to move it up more. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Results Top Photo from Each Season Season 1: Gabs Season 2: Manyo Season 3: Seong Season 4: Fancy Average Scores From Each Season: Season 1: 3 Stars Season 2: 3 Stars Season 3: 2.9 Stars Season 4: 2.5 Stars 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Rankings: 1st: Manyo 2nd: Seong 3rd: Fancy 4th: Gabs 5th: Medusa 6th: Maris 7th: Jordie 8th: Lewis 9th: Ohemgee 10th: Thii 11th: Goomy 12th: Angie 13th: Cupid 14th: Kali 15th: Guilty 16th: Marquis 17th: Honey 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 As you can see with my process, in any ties I just went with which photo I liked better in the tie and went from there.

So we will see how my critiques went with the actual judges soon (like now because I saw Dimitra post the blog) and will update the stats when Episode 2 photos are posted!

*sees Dimitra* Guess I need to write my 10-page essay on why this person wearing a paper sack isn't Vogue-worthy.

455 Games Later, I finally won my first game ever on this site. It was an Arena and I shall name it Relicarena I guess I can log out now? Edit: I mostly join games alone, so this is special to me. I didn't need 600 people to carry me...I just needed Sin to make an hour dedicated to Relics

I'm guessing the Fans have already have been picked already and been told they were playing? Then can I get my 50 Koins back for Grabber?

Who is under this sheet

But mainly you just want stuff that tg had and put it here which is fine but what about new stuff (not counting what we have). We need more than a facelift. I want to chat with people but staring at a screen for a pop up isn’t fun. I want to work with others but a game that doesn’t end? Unless it is a rougelike game I don’t see incentives besides adding it to my resume for a job at Chuck E Cheese. There are so many shows we have been exposed to that something could be formed and be different than just another variation than what we have. Do we need another challenge focused game right now when we have so many? Eh… We also have to remember what are the capabilities that can happen on this site. Idk how the behind the scene stuff works but I am not expecting Pole Dancing Game…to happen right now…yet. Personally, I would like more slow paced social games so new players can feel more welcomed and not feel alone or treated like shit for picking the wrong arena mode without knowing the 411. Lowkey none of the modes are new player friendly and it gives the idea that you have “earn your stripes” which may not be a good idea. Frenzy is fast and overwhelming sometimes and some people join with friends and get rid of them or help them but treat them like a charity case. I’m not saying give them the win but have some chance of a shot and I’m not counting those who join games and forget to play because they are in 40 others at the same time. Alright, back to yelling at the sun for being too bright.

Take that @AmandaSings04. That’s what you get for giving Dakota 12th by using the Power of Chibi (@o_o) to send them to the Arena Dungeon. Thank you Glaceon for giving me your vote to win. I worked hard cranking the shaft of power the entire game.
