FINAL ASSIGNMENT: STEAMPUNK

**Remember that this is a high fashion headshot competition. so be sure you are styling your model appropriately, but putting an extra bit of high fashion flare each round**

THIS IS THE FINAL ASSIGNMENT! AHHH!

Alright ladies! We're down to the final assignment and you'll need to be VERY creative! Your task is to create a futuristic, yet Victorian-esque, Steampunk headshot. Your headshot needs to be done in a way that we can tell exactly what it is by the styling, lighting, props, even a setting.

I'm giving a little more free reign over the way you set up your photo. It still needs to be a headshot - but can go as low as the waist or hips if necessary. You can also create a fun background and show more of it if you wish. In other words, you don't have to crop tightly to your model this time.

Good luck

This competition runs differently with a different form of judging.

Q: How do the judges judge with no scoring rubric?
A: They use the list of judging criteria for each assignment to formulate their critiques.

Q: Well, without a rubric, how do the rankings form?
A: After we critique your model, we will formulate our own lists of from best to worst. Those lists will then be combined using a mathematical equation.

1st place ranking from one of the judges earns you 20 points.
2nd place ranking from one of the judges earns you 18 points.
3rd place ranking from one of the judges earns you 16 points.
4th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 14 points.
5th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 12 points.
6th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 10 points.
7th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 8 points.
8th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 7 points.
9th place ranking from one of the judges earns you 6 points.
10th or lower ranking from one of the judges earns you 5 points.

Those points will be combined to create your overall placement.

Q: Do the judges critique me or my model?
A: Our comments will be directed towards your model. We will act as if they are alive and real models to critique.

Q: Is there any special title, award, or judging element to this competition?
A: There is no extra boost in points like getting host's choice, but there is a bottom three. Each round, starting with round 2, there will be a bottom 3 and ANY person in that bottom 3 is in jeopardy of being eliminated.

Q: How is the person eliminated determined?
A: Judges will give their rankings as well as who they believe should be eliminated. If it's a unanimous decision, that person is eliminated. If not, then scores play a factor.

Oh my goodness!

You two are simply amazing! You really rocked the final assignment and I couldn't have asked for two better people to share the final assignment with. I love each of you for your unique styles and gorgeous photos. Please, please come back and participate in future competitions of mine!

A bit thank you to all my guest judges who have stepped in when I needed help and Monster for being there for most of the competition! It made my judging life easier knowing I have you all there.

Take a look at who won! It was SOOOOO Close to and difficult to decide on a winner!

Seriously Beech....you gotta stop this!

Reserve cuz I am a glutton for doing too much at once :|

I was going to take a long hiatus from simming and modelling after my current cycles end (which they are soon) but I'm so so so so tempted. Reserve for now? Beech ya'll make the best competitions.

I seriously agree.. I have too many comps, plus the magazine, the weather is nice and my kids are home and I am busy as i can possibly be, but I am way tooooo obsessed with modeling and editing to turn down a good comp!

Good! I don't feel so alone now ;) (the only difference is my kids are waaaaaay older!)

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

I wanna put Ace in it again!

Literally don't do this to me. I'm not even good at this whole dark fantasy thing but noooo you just have to make this the single most tempting thing of my life.

I am so offended.

I'll try the first assignment and see how I like it and if I end up hating it, I'll certainly apply to be a judge.
