Face Off Cycle 8 - WINNER ANNOUNCED

http://i.imgur.com/SM4GcT4.png

Let's try this again! I've opened a couple competitions lately and I feel that the subject matter (being story-based or fantasy-based) has scared some people off! So, why not bring back another exciting cycle of Face Off!

The current cycle is on its final assignment, so this should be a fun transition for those who are still participating (and want to keep going) and any newbies who missed sign ups for cycle 7. Yes, if you are currently in the 7th cycle, you may sign up for this cycle!

Face Off is a great competition that takes the simplicity of a headshot and pushes your creativity to expand upon the style and make it your own. You will be tasked with making creative and fun fashion headshots each round, with minimal requirements.

I haven't really ever put a theme to Face Off before, but I thought that I would try that this cycle. So, the theme for this cycle is saturation. That means that your assignments, no matter the topic, will require some really excellent bursts of color. You'll want to play with brights, fun lighting, and eccentric makeup, hair, and accessories. I'm excited to see what kinds of images you all come up with!

Male & Female models are allowed, but most of my assignments are geared towards female models, so you may have to make some adjustments as we proceed.

-------FINAL ASSIGNMENT: DISNEY VILLAINS-------

I can't believe we are already to the finale! This has been one of my favorite cycles - there has been a ton of talent and I'm sooooo excited to see what this finale brings to us!!

The title pretty much sums it up, but here are the details: Create a fashion photo of your model styled like a famous Disney Villain! I say "famous" because I want to recognize your villain.

I would really like it if the villains were not duplicated, but I also want it to be a surprise for everyone. So, here's what I'd like you to do - you must PRIVATE MESSAGE me your choice of villain. I will let you know if someone has already messaged me that villain or if your choice is yours. When you check in and decide to message me, please make a note of it on the forum so that everyone can see the time stamp for when you would have messaged me!

Then, keep it secret until you submit!

Don't forget that BURST of color - make sure aspects of your photo are fully saturated with intense color!

The example image is meant to serve as inspiration and will generally include all necessary requirements, but do not copy it!

-------REQUIREMENTS-------
ONE Photo
Bold Colors
Waist Up Shot
Disney Villain - High Fashion

-------EXAMPLE-------

DEADLINE: JUNE 22ND

This competition runs with NO scoring rubric. It goes based off of a mathematical ranking system between the judges. So you will not see a scoring rubric, but rather comments from the judges and your final rank will be listed in a secret surprise slideshow!

How Do Eliminations Work?
Good question! There is a bottom 3 every round (beginning with round 2) and ANY of the three contestants can be eliminated. They are listed in no particular order and the eliminated model is announced at the end of the slideshow - so watch to the end!

Judges Will Talk to Your Models, NOT YOU!
Yep, when we give comments, we give them as if your model were a living person standing right in front of us! All comments made will be directed at your model. You, as his/her creator, will be considered your model's "team". So if we discuss lighting or makeup, you will see things like "set designer" and "makeup artist"!

She had red hair, but then I remembered Jojo's model has red hair. >_< B/w I can change the background color too if you want, but she should be easy to cut out as well.

@xJojox Beech doesn't typically have any rules about that. So yes.

I might stick Aceydoodle in this cause it's geared more toward females so let's freaking try it with a dude lol.

@kyky :: This competition doesn't require editing, but I can guarantee that there will be assignments that will definitely benefit from doing so and the better the photo and more creative, the better you'll do. Your model looks great :) It's not required that you crop it a certain way (for this assignment), but for future reference, once you submit you have to keep what you submit. Can't fix anything :wink:

@ColorMePink :: Loving her <3

@Penguinwa101 :: Love Giselle and that hair is awesome!

@TEXASTWANGTONYA :: Gotcha reserved.

@Lovegab101 :: Gotcha, lovely model :)

@xJojox :: Yes of course, you can join most definitely :)

@Vanadis :: You like challenges :wink:

@kittymeow :: We'd love to have you :)

@Movotti :: haha I get the dilemma :wink:
