Hello models and welcome to our very first judging panel!
Tonight we will score your photos, critique them, and cut one of you.
Let me first introduce our judges! We have Maeve Bismarck & Natasha Miccio, established top models!
Let's begin the judging!
ALLIE
Hallo Allie! If I had not read your description I would've had no clue what you were - tbh still not so sure! haha. This reminds me of some Final Fantasy game, so that's good as the fantasy is there! This is much better than your last entry as well. Though I am not 100% sure about the makeup, I feel it's too matronly and the pose could have used more tension. That would have made you look a bit fiercer.

As English is not my first language I was very confused with your pirate lingo haha. As pirates are factual beings I don't know how fantasy this, maybe throw in a mermaid and make it like POTC movies and that would be perfekt. But I reall like your overall look. You don't look too cheesy, this could be like a Jean Paul Gaultier ad.

ASHA
Asha this has so much potential, but I feel you just standing there is a but dull! Sorry!! Had you raised a horse leg or even your arm and make like an attacking pose that would have been amazing! Regardless it really fits the theme so well, I just think you need to push yourself a bit more!The settings are amazing.

DEVON
On Devon... I hate to me mean but there are a lot of issues with this image! :( First is the most obvious, the size of you is not to scale! Look at the people behind you, as well as the boats. You are massive in comparison to them! Your body also needs a bit of work... And then we look at the shape of you, or your pose. It goes off into the horizon, so you should be getting smaller as you go back, like in the distance, but you don't. And then your tail over the rock. I wish you took more time to scale the image or select a better background! Last week you had a great week and this isn't quite as well executed. :(

Why do you hate this photo? Get some confidence, it's freaking amazing! First, I love how you picked a fall setting seeing as you know the best photo will go in the Oktober issue of TMM or TMH. Next you have a super feminine theme going on here with a butterfly yet you look pretty damn masculine either way! All the colors work so well here too! Girls are going to want you and guys want to be you! Perfekt.. what's the word I can't think of in English... ideal?? of what a model should be! The shadows look better this week too! :lol:

Omara!! What an amazing image! I love everything about it from the colors (warm & summery even thought it will be the October issue), the settings are great, I also like how it's so high fashion! I do think this week the image isn't ask clean as lask week, but other than that it's on par with your previous entry!

RUBY
Hallo lieber Ruby! This photos quite great! I just have one small complaint! I feel like it's a bit more Halloween instead of fashion because your expression is a bit cooky cartoon! Ach - schlag mich nicht! Other than that this is an amazing fantasy photo. Still perfekt for an October issue, I just wish that the expression was a little different. That's all! Still amazing and you are probably the one to beat!

Oh Vina... the snow!! :( You must be so cold in that lack there of an outfit too haha. This is a great image, my only complaint is that it looks a bit blurry and you a bit orange. I would have loved if you had painted your skin to be paler to go with that whole ice fairy theme. I just think that the orange-y skin is a bit too Trump and Summer 2016!

Girl, you look like someone who would come from one of the games my manager plays! Like, rangers or something, usually comes with a swear word because they’re “overpowered.” I don’t even… anyway, back to this image, the fact that it immediately reminded me of a game in a high fantasy setting means you nailed this! I love how everything works so well together, from the pose, to the background. Your outfit is an interesting choice, as it is not exactly high fashion in our world, but in their world it might look quite stylish! I do appreciate the fact that you added some fashionable accessories though, it complements her outfit really well. Overall, wonderful job dear, I love this so much!
(Editing wise: Same thing as your previous entry regarding light and shadows :))

I love that confessional so much! And I love how yours is a creative take in this assignment. We have fairies, mermaids, and here you are guarding the b00ty! I love it, it’s a very creative approach to a challenge that already urges you to be creative. I love your pose overall, very fitting for an editorial and it just works so well in this shot! Though, your expression looks a tad… worried. Darling, you’re a pirate protecting wonderful treasures, you should look more fierce and ready to battle whoever wants to take it from you!
(Editing wise: some play on light and shadow would have been nice but that’s a small nitpick. I can see through his left hand that there was perhaps an attempt on it though. :) I loved your outfit so much it inspired me for my VS entry LOL)

Ooooh, you must share your secrets on how you managed to fit into that! It must have been so challenging to be a centaur during the shoot! You pulled off a centaur female warrior well, I must say, she looks like she’s ready to stylishly prance her way to battle! I love the setting you chose for it as well, especially the sky, it’s definitely a place worth protecting! Maybe a more dynamic pose would have been better though, to add some more action to it, but really, this one works well too.

Hi dear! I find it so sweet that you included Tiffany in your shot. You must love each other a lot! Unfortunately having two people makes it incredibly difficult to focus on you, and I must admit, I spent a lot of time looking at your lovely wife instead! I love that you chose a merman, not exactly the most creative one in the bunch but I still think it’s great!
(Editing wise: I know you’re knew, but it feels like this image could have done much better if the image was cleaned up some more. His tail wouldn’t realistically go through the rock like that and because he’s underwater there should be some noticeable disturbance on the water’s surface and the tail should have been darker than the rest of his body; remember light does not penetrate water too well)

Oh. Em. Gee. This is stunning! You look so faaaabulous, your Majesty! *bows* Your pose, those butterflies in the costume (which is quite fashionable in its own way, I must say), those golden accessories. Even your wings remind me of a monarch butterfly, which is SO fitting! I love this, I love this, I have nothing to say but, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
(Editing wise: lol, I love this)

Girl, that is an incredibly fashionable fairy! The fact that she’s sitting on a mushroom and her wearing a green dress reminded me a lot of Tinkerbell! I love this setting, it very much reminds me of a magical garden or something similar. Your pose shows off your outfit really well too, so it makes this great for an editorial! Though, what happened with the quality of your background? It looks like the photo was enlarged. D:

Eek! Please don’t drink my blood! D: This is wonderful, Ruby. You nailed vampire queen, and you did it incredibly well! I love your surroundings (oh my god that poor extra in the corner!), I love her outfit (so fashionable), I love her pose, I just love everything about this! Definitely creative, and definitely appropriate for an editorial. Good job!

Honey, you look so cool (look guys, I’m funny)! I love the atmosphere of this photo, your vision for this was perfect! I love how mysterious this is, a little bit ominous, somewhat, but I think that represents the cold winter nights very well. You pulled off being a winter fairy so well! I love the wings, I love what you’re wearing, and it looks like you’re keeping a close eye on the winter forest. This image works so wonderfully well together, fantastic job. <3 The quality is a little bit questionable though, as it makes your face blurry! I would have loved to see the make-up clearer, because it looks gorgeous!
(Editing wise: I’m not sure what happened, but there was a massive decrease of quality on the model. I assume you enlarged her; remember enlarging things means that they lose their quality. It’s much better to shrink the background to the model’s original size instead of the other way around)

Now that is more like it! Very creative roleplay on this one. Awesome setting, and I love the styling. The bird does look a little out of place, which could have been fixed by giving him less of a bluish-purple tone and blending him with a yellow/gray one. I love your styling, though. You look like you really belong in this photo. Great job on this one!

Hmmm… Is this the same pose as last round? If not they’re very similar! I like that you chose to be a pirate for your fantasy entry. It was a unique idea. I only wish you had added more to this photo to amp up the level of fantasy. It just felt very boring to me and I am struggling to find the words to explain why. I think it was a combination of your stagnant expression and the normality of it all.

I LOVE THIS! There are only a few little things I can critique so I’ll just start with them. I think you should have matched the shadow of your legs to the dark blue of the rest of the shadows, and when you view the photo in full size the centaur in the back is a little choppy and odd-looking. I think he would draw less unwanted attention if you made him more of a light blue, to match the sky behind him. I like that you kept it simple and only included one other centaur, though. I really love this entry, and almost every aspect of it. Great job on this one. The styling, makeup, armor, everything is amazing. Especially the roleplay :)

I feel like the star of this photo was Tiffany and not Devon. Adding her to the photo was a bad idea because it took all the attention away from him. I also feel his proportions are a little out of whack… He is one HUGE merman! I think you would have been better off with a different backdrop. The people fishing in the background really kills the illusion of fantasy for me :(

I am loving the colors here. I think this is a really great entry, and I’m really loving all the details you added to your body, like the butterflies, the gold armband, the crown; all great additions to really give us the feel that you’re a butterfly prince (lol so cute). Honestly, the only thing I see off with this photo is the lack of shading (which really isn’t that big of a deal) and the pants. But you already explained that you could not find any bottoms for men, which I get. It’s a struggle to find good cc for guys, especially creative stuff for the competition entries. I think you pant choice was good anyway. It reminded us of his country roots and his personal taste outside of his role as a butterfly prince. It also matched the color scheme well, so I think you’re good.

I think this was a really good idea. I love the reference to Alice in Wonderland and your creative take on the blue catepillar. Very interesting backdrop. I do think the dress looks a little odd how it’s placed in the photo. I don’t really understand the shape. The styling did not quite click with me in this photo.

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby… Where did this even come from! PERFECT entry, down to every little detail. Everything was photoshopped in beautifully. I especially love the addition of the bleeding lady in the corner of the photo. You look so frighteningly beautiful. I honestly cannot think of a single improvement you could have made with this entry. It’s flawless.

First off, no need to apologize for the size! I always appreciate larger entries where you can see the details. I really love the mysterious vibe you have going on here. It adds to the magical aspect of it. The way her legs and arms are disappearing into the darkness was great for bringing the focus to your upper body and the wings. I do notice that there is a lot of blurriness over your face and wings and the photo in general. I wish you would have left the face and wings a little sharper, as all the blur took away from the quality of the photo for me, hence the score for “cleanliness of image”. Overall, though, I think you had a great setting, a great color scheme, and a great roleplay to go along with it. Good job :)
When we return, I will announce who is going home....
Also NOTE: Last week I made a mistake on Judging, Antonio should have been in the Top Bunch so his photo will run in TMH's September issue as well!!
