Ralts's critiques DNTM3 #01

Hello models, Welcome to season 3 of DNTM, you have entered the selected group of DNTM participants. Let me give a disclaimer before I get into it. Nothing I say really matters since I'm not a judge. Nothing I say is ever going to be from a genuine mean place, sorry if sometimes the joke doesn't land since it's all written and there's no tone. I have no intent in bringing anyone down and making anyone's experience bad. Being a Dimitra model is one of the most fun I've had around here and I hope you do too. That being said, I hope that I can critique every week. Last season it caught me mid-moving across my country and I didn't have much time to do it after like F8, so I'll try my best. I like originality and a unique POV, if you're not going to follow Dimitra's (not so strict apparently this season) prompts at least make it interesting. RobbieRiot - We weren't wrong when we all like your presentation photo. This is a very strong start. The pink lighting hits you perfectly. The lines your legs create are very well done. You look glossy af and a very strong face. My only note is that the giraffe weakens this photo, the giraffe looks cheap and doesn't exactly give carrousel persay, but really strong start. muribolt - I can see you have a branding of covering your beautiful face and I hate it. While it gives sexy, it doesn't read as classy, it's more on the cheap side. I really like the pose, it looks relaxed but not lazy. Goomybear - I love the outfit. One of the strongest. My biggest problem with this picture is that everything seems to have the same pattern/texture... The pants, the suit, the floor, the carrousel, it's all too similar looking. I would have loved more light so get more details of the picture. The pose is cool, relaxed, chill, looking away but still in a model way. SexyTex - Oh those legs look CORRECT. The face is just giving sweet and innocent girl, it's not fully giving me model while the dress is not giving innocent at all, I like the contrast, but I wish there was something more WOW to it. Ok the contrary of Goomy's, yours is too bright for me and with the already shining bodysuit, everything could have been a tad more subtle. Sam - I like the intention but it is not executed well at aaaall. I don't really see the theme of the Tarzan outfit while being in a carrousel and the carrousel theme isn't even related to the outfit. It's very confusing. The pose is very strange and not flattering neither. I read that you had to scrap two other ideas and honestly I would love to see them cause there's no way that they are worse than this. dailyicon - What an upgrade (I think I didn't enjoy much your entrance but a lot of you men looked similar tbh). I really like this photo. The lines created with both legs are very well done, the looking away at camera gives it that model posing and the cloak is marvelous. Im lazy to go back and see but I hope you aren't one of the shirtless ones and if you were, buy some, there's no reason to be shirtless here. camell22 - You give such soft boy energy and I love it. The side profile is good. It's a very safe and well executed photo, nothing extremely interesting but nothing wrong with it. Try and go for a bit more is my advice. bosslady - While I really like the photo, I hate that it seems like it's a studio with just one piece of carrousel, there needs to be more detail in the ambience. If the legs were straight the posing would be much stronger and fierce, since that's what it seems that you're going for. Tayvie - This is just another ok photo. The outfit is cute but there's not much more to look at. Veeeery safe in general. Lewis - The mess of the season hahahaha I'm really sorry but this is a big no once again. The movement is faaaar too much. Your hippads kind of look busted with the legs being bent up. I do enjoy the androgyny that it's giving male presenting top and female presenting bottom. Hare - Hmmm the outfit is kind of not done with good taste. It looks tacky, cheap, costumy, not cohesive and cheap. The lighting while being night time in the background, it seems to be daylight on him, it looks weird. Also, why is he riding the carrousel outside of the carrousel? Lol Just got great attention to details in general. Torimarie - Ugh! Love! This time clothing, hair and skin do seem to be in the same universe of textures, you fixed that here. The leg going up need to either be creating a 90° angle or 45° angle or it looks lazy, specially being so strong in the arm pose. The coat looks expensive, love. The blue skin on the leg also looks patchy, don't make me think it's paint instead of your real skin tone hahaha Tisha - The pose works reeeally well but it would be even strong if the legs were the opposite, the one on the back should be the bent one so I doesn't cute the line of the other leg. Love the flowiness. The arms don't look proportioned at all though, the extended arms look so long compared to the one holding the pole. I just know you and AI must fight cause it doesn't understand a skeleton model. honey - With this picture I'm having the same problem as with some others already mentioned. The textures of all just blend it a little too well and I can't even figure out what everything is exactly. She has one hand on the pole and The other one where? I can't figure it out. The dress seems to have the same lights the background had. Poof - The men in general seem to have liked this theme, most of you improved and I think you are one of the ones that improved the most. The outfit eats down, I appreciate there being more than just one color, it gets too matchy matchy I hope people would play with color palettes in general more than just one color for their theme. I don't really like how both of his legs are bent, it just makes you look a bit slouched but I love your face, it's relaxed, looking straight at the camera, it's a mix of seduction and wanting to be seduced, love. Glitter - What happened here? The queen on the pole didn't work the pole that well this week. Honestly I prefered you going for the non hyper realistic model, I think it worked better, now she just look like your average Jane (not the winner tho hahaha) The AI made you look like you're just floating on top of the horse, the left heel is totally different to the right one, the one with the pink bottom is literally just floating. The dress is very clumped and looks a bit messy. I do enjoy the looking back at the camera, but her chin should be higher so we don't completly lose her neck. Thiii - This is what I mean about necks, give me neck for days without it being weird, the face is very strong. The rest is very boring, just an average dress with an average pose with an average background. Seong - Am I being unbiased cause I just find him super hot? Maybe. But that's how ANTM actually was when they included male models tbh. I find this very unique. The posing on the bottom of the carrousel without being on top of the horse or interacting with them, but having them in the background is very smart unless I read something that you actually had to (which I think I didn't). The outfit is perfect, super original, going for another hat that completes the outfit perfectly. Love the accessories. With this being said, there were some misses but most were either safe or good, much better than I expected. Ranking #01 1. Dailyicon 2. Seong 3. RobbieRiot 4. Poof 5. Boaslady 6. Torimarie 7.
