Fresh Faces – The Judges

My Love : Ni’ko Shae : made me this banner… isn’t it absolutely beautiful?

On Friday we get to announce the contestants in the upcoming cycle!
But today we celebrate…

THE JUDGES!!!!!

These hand picked, top shelf, fine looking judges are not only amazing models themselves, but also have proven to have an eye for helping others!
Fresh Faces Deux is super excited to have them to lay down the critiques and give the newbies some feedback for improvement!

I also want to welcome my amazing Assistant Mentor this Cycle!
Elessia and I shared many a screenshot during Allstars Cycle
She beat me, partly because she’s gorgeous, partly because she is an amazing G-Pose Artist! Either way, she is going to be a massive support to me and the models this cycle!

I am the Host and Mentor of this Cycle, Odharnait “Ona” Greene, and will be guiding the cycle through Six Weeks of challenge prompts for the new models!


Sometimes I write posts drunk. Sometimes I have crazy ideas. I may or may not have picked the rounds during a drunken crazy idea session.

Either way, join us for the excitement! The adventure!

This is…
Fresh Faces 2: 2021 Edition!

Fresh Faces – 2021 Edition

Concerned you wont have a chance against the veterans?

Seriously, I am a veteran, why are you worried?

Want to risk it all for fame an fortune?

That one isn’t going to happen….

Do you want to finally cast off the shroud of doubt and join in the competition to welcome new models and gain that elusive Yellow Title of “S-Rank Model”?

Then now is your time to shine!

ENTM is now holding Open Auditions for New Models to compete in our Fresh Faces competition which begins in uh… ***checks calendar*** Three weeks!

Beginning on April 30th (first week open for public voting on May 1st), the competition will run for 6 weeks, and will be a non-elimination, vanilla cycle, open to those models who have never before competed in an ENTM competition. If you are interested in auditioning, please submit three images to me privately (discord or email – OdharnaitGreene@gmail.com) and include the following information:

  1. Character Name
  2. Server
  3. Race
  4. Main Class

    • Headshot! Must be a bust shot, so shoulders and up!
    • Action shot! Go kill something. Look beautiful while doing it!
    • Freestyle shot (with a twist!) BASE RACE GEAR GLAM. Everyone looks good in the 2B Gear, so let’s be basic!

The competition will be hosted by none other than Your Friendly Neighborhood Odharnait “Ona” Greene (who’s butt you can see above).

All Stars Grand Finale

We are at the end of a two month journey. A few of our models hit bumps along the road, but somehow we emerged at the end with all 14 models still participating and voting each week, which is incredible.

I want to thank everyone who agreed to Rongi Pongi’s crazy idea for self-scoring, and I am grateful I had the opportunity to bring this cycle to fruition. We probably won’t do an All Stars cycle every year, and the next time we do I’ll probably have a different formula, but it was definitely a fun experiment to try and a good excuse to get more screenshots from some of our best models since we started in 2014.

After a good bit of head scratching and a lot of helpful fill-ins from Google Sheets, I’ve got the data that you all were waiting for: the winners!

In third place, with a cumulative score of 186, we have Elessia Sedai!

In second place, with a cumulative score of 182, we have Malkovich Malkovich!

And our grand prize winner for our inaugural All Stars Cycle, with a cumulative score of 178, is Yomu Kazul!

Congratulations Yomu!

Community votes are also a crucial aspect of our scoring system. Sometimes the community disagrees with our judges, but most often the purpose of the community score is to break the ties when the judges can’t agree themselves. Our winners for Community Votes this cycle are Elessia Sedai, Odharnait Green, and Ninifipsi Fini.

ENTM will be celebrating the two year anniversary of our website now that it is March, so our next project (while we prepare the next contest for everyone) will be an all inclusive community refresh of the website. Please stick around for additional news about this project in the next few days!

All Stars Round 8 Winners

Last week’s challenge was to go hang out with a new beast tribe. We had our models frolicking with the pixies, tinkering with the dwarves, or chilling with the Nu Mou. Voting was pretty tight, but the top three from last week were Malkovich, Elessia, and Yomu!

Host Katarh is currently doing a lot of spreadsheet math to tabulate the overall winner of All Stars. Please watch this space for updates sometime today!
