CopyCat Cycle Week 2 Results

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s lost her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head

Sorry these results are late my homies… had an error on a submission of the judge’s vote (not their fault obviously) and then I had to do work for money to pay bills so I can have electricity to type up these posts!!!

So this past week, I asked our models to copycat Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. All characters, series, movies, etc. was fair game. We had several Alices, a white rabbit, and a caterpillar. But one unique character took the proverbial biscuits and tea and that was…

Malkovich!

Come back again next week to see what the Paparazzi are up to!

Alice

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small.

That’s me at the bottom of the stairs yelling at the Cheshire Cat…

We had such an amazing week last week with our Lord of the Rings Images that I thought I would send the models down a Simpler path. The problem is, however, how to recreate an image from Alice in Wonderland when there are actually 19 known film adaptations of the Lewis Carrol Novel. That’s only the film adaptations. There are multiple video games and definitely a few songs from the 70s that discussed the, ahem, “Magic Foods”.

Story time, my irl name is Alison (OH MY GOD ITS NOT ONA?!??) and as a little girl I honestly thought it was Alison Wonderland instead of Alice in Wonderland. I was deathly afraid of the jabberwocky….

Let’s stop talking about me and move onto our model’s and their photos!!! Here are your images for this week “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”.

CopyCat Round 1 Winner!

Well I could not have asked for a better week 1! Our models did not disappoint me or the judges for that matter, with their amazing copycat shots! I cant deny that when I first pitched this idea to Kat and Kai, I thought for certain they would turn it down. Then I thought the models would hate me and be so frustrated recreating images instead of taking their own. Then I thought people would not join the cycle. But here we are with these gorgeous images, literally all of them are really good at being really good at taking amazing shots! I love them all forever!!!!

And while all of this is all well and good….

We do have a winner to announce…

So without further adieu… Our week one winner is!!!!

Ardyn – Strider

“a strange-looking weather-beaten man, sitting in the shadows near the wall… He had a tall tankard in front of him, and was smoking a long-stemmed pipe curiously carved. His legs were stretched out before him,showing high boots of supple leather that fitted him well, but had seen much wear and were now caked with mud. A travel-stained cloak of heavy dark-green was drawn close about him, and in spite of the heat of the room he wore a hood that overshadowed his face”.

A strong image for a strong first week of submissions!
What does week two hold?
Come back on Saturday for the next round and new images to vote for!

An Unexpected Journey – Lord of the Rings

Week one is upon us! I figured, why not start the whole thing out with my favorite movie of all time! Boondock Saints!

Ona, are you ok?
Nah, it’s my anniversary weekend, and I am away at a cabin without my children. I’m GREAT!

For reals though, Lord of the Rings! One of my all time favorite and what some consider the grandmother of all known fantasy literature! It makes my heart so happy! So I gave the models the prompt to CopyCat a memorable LotR scene. I am excited to say that NOT ONE MODEL picked the same theme! The unique takes this round make my nerdy heart swoon!

BUT FIRST, before you see this week’s
photos, please take a look at my amazing
judges!

The Legend, Katarh Mest! I have lots of things to say about my Kat, but you just need to know she’s amazing.
The Elusive, Forthyn! Having judged along side Forth before, I cannot say enough to express their amazing talent!
The Fantastic, Escher! The beautiful and amazing human who instantly makes you go “oh yeah”!

So now onto this week’s images!
I present to you:
Week 1 – Copy Cat Cycle!

Please take a moment to vote for your favorite model! Polls will be open until Tuesday 10/11 at 12:01am EST. The Winner of the round will be announced around 8am EST!

CopyCat Edition – AUDITIONS OPEN

Oh my god we’re back again!
Ona here with exciting news! It’s time for a full blown cycle for EVERYONE to join! I am currently accepting applications to join me on this new (hopefully permanent) cycle!

But Ona, what is this new edition?

It’s a CopyCat cycle where you are given well known or iconic themes to “copy” but the twist is that YOU choose the scene or the image to use. Judges will decide who hits their mark the best.

But Ona, wont this leave a lot to the personal opinion of the judges?

Not necessarily.
You see, our judges are still required to base their choices on composition, theme, and glamour, with highest focus being on the composition of the image. Listen you could look exactly like Darth Vader fighting Luke in the lava fields, but if you have a Dutch Angle and no depth of field, well, you might not win that round my good human.

But Ona, what if I don’t understand the theme of the week?

Ask your friends, take to google, spend 20 hours and 18 minutes in deep contemplated review…

Ok Ona, so I am ready to join! What do you need from me?

A headshot and a freestyle shot of your choice. Please ensure that they are submitted by 10/1 (12:01am EST). When you submit your shot, I will send you the rules for the cycle.

So Ona, how long will the cycle last?

The first week of voting starts October 8th and runs for 6 weeks with the Cycle winner announcing on 11/16.

Deadline to submit your audition closes on 10/1 at 12:01 am EST.

As always, Love from here – Ona Greene

Classic Cycle 13 Final Results

It’s been a hectic cycle for me and the judges, but our models persevered and all eight of them made it through our grueling six weeks of competition, despite new patch content and savage raiding and real life eating our faces, oh my!

All of the models making it to the final stage of the contest is a rare treat, so first I want to thank you all for your hard work and for sticking with it. Getting tough love from the judges can be painful, but we all want the best for you and for you to go out and take the most beautiful screenshots that you can.

But this is also ultimately a contest, so without further delay, here are the top three winners from Classic Cycle 13.

Third Place

In third place, with a score of 100.7, we have Neisha Rayne!

Second Place

In second place, with a score of 90.6, we have Isillud Losstarot!

S-Rank

And our newest S-Rank model, who is a veteran of ENTM but never quite reached the top before…. with a score of 86.09, is Ninifipsi Fini! Congratulations, you are Eorzea’s next big talent!

Ninifipsi Fini

Community S-Rank

However, sometimes our judges and the community disagree. Voting was extremely tight among the community votes, with about a quarter of a point separating the top two vote getters, but the Community S-Rank is Neisha Rayne!

Neisha Rayne

ENTM will be taking a break for the month of May, aside from our monthly challenges.

Thank you all for following along with us, and keep on taking the best screenshots that you can!

Classic Cycle 13 Round 6 Winner

For the final round of this cycle, I tasked the models with an open ended storytelling theme Legends. This theme was a true test of artistic and creative mettle. Many of our models opted for local legends, others for classical legends, but the winner for this week’s cycle went for a modern legend in the form of the late David Bowie.

Congratulations to Isillud Losstarot for winning this week’s challenge with a scene from Labyrinth!

With that, Classic Cycle 13 is coming to a close. I will be tallying up the votes from the last six weeks and will announce the winner later today!

Classic Cycle 13 Round 6 – Legends

We are on the final week of Classic Cycle 13, with all eight models having survived until the end of the contest. For that alone, every one deserves a round of applause!

This week’s theme was open ended with “Legends” – the models could choose to interpret this however they wished, with a legend from Eorzea or from the real world. All images had to have some kind of picture frame, with the intent of making it look like a story book illustration. I think everyone knocked it out of the park, but this is still a contest, so you’ll need to vote!

Please view each image below and then use the Google poll to vote, with 1 being the strongest, and ranked on down.

Due to the delay in posting this weekend, voting will remain open until 11:59 PM ET on Wednesday, April 27th.

Although the Google Poll is set to require a sign in to prevent duplicate voting, no email addresses are collected, only the timestamp of your vote.

If you are having trouble voting on the Google Poll embedded above, you can also open it directly in a new tab by clicking on this link: https://forms.gle/waGnkE9vXXsfLfp1A
