I think from the judges' comparison critiques that it's pretty clear where they are headed.

There's only so much you can do with emotes... well, they can still find original backgrounds. Tons of those in the game.

Huh, this is getting exciting.

Yeah, there was a lot of talent this cycle!
I'm sure we all will learn a lot from ALL of this cycle's contestants, even if we don't participate in future cycles.

Just watch the screenshot threads....

i really feel like we made history!

seeriously, the next contestants will be looking at our works sorting poses, looking at errors, catching what we did right or wrong, starting from applications and finishing by eliminations of each model.

we shall be remembered forever!

and who knows, maby well be back >:-D

ah well, i predict more paragons, monks, and dervishes will be in the next cycle...ESPECIALLY paragons.

don't know about tank though. as awesome as they are...the armor isn't exactly model material xD but who knows

lol I gotta say before I go in for the night, I gotta say I love Jaden's new characters name

I caught a glimpse of Jaden for a second and noticed the very influenced name Jaden gave a new character of his. Cookies for Jaden !

Good luck to both of you!!
I was tempted to vote the third choice, because I had a hard time choosing, but in the end I knew it. Just 2 more days!
I hope there will be a warrior in the next cycle as well, they can be beautifull in steel too :>! Maria's right, all of you will be remembered. At the next cycle, when there are evaluations they'll probably use your photo's as an example of how it's done ;p!

Have to pound the pavement for every vote I can. I'm a pvper and well, no one i know would be interested in voting for me, and pretty much I get laughed at for asking. I've got a PR team working on it, and I'm going to work as hard as I can and do whatever it takes to win this, including being the complete embarassment of the pvp community.

Agh, is it just me, or does the ranger thread suddenly have tons of rangers looking like Perynne... Copycats! (just kidding, I love how your rangers look... that hairstyle is the best!) I just find it weird that six months ago, I barely ever saw anyone with the same hairdo, and now suddenly they're everywhere.

Oh, and more warriors for the next cycle definitely. I set out to prove in this competitions that rangers are sexy, and look how far I got. Now will someone do the same for poor, underestimated warrior-maidens? The armor shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't wear a helmet. Who says that only skimpy, revealing outfits have the right to look good?

This is the most amazing thing ever to hit GW. Double kudos to my friend for pointing this competition out and drawing my undivided attention to it ... Only two things to say.
1- The contestants in this first cycle were amazing. All were awesome. GL to the top final two, can't say who I'm voting for though :P... and
2- I know what will consume all of my time for the next month. Well, I play GW almost every waking hour anyway, but now it's down to business for some serious screen shot taking ^__^

I like to quickly remind everyone of the Screenshot Expo forum rules. We're all waiting for the final winner, but I like to remind everyone that pointless spamming and +1 post count chat is not allow.

Please don't disgregard the rules, because we (The mods) are keeping an eye on this thread.

Thank you.

First time posting in this thread, so I first wanted to say how much I've enjoyed watching this thread from the beginning. It really really added something fun to my weekends.

I've found myself a little confused as to the extravagant disappointment that the judges felt towards Jaden and Perynne. It seemed almost more dramatic than the miscommunication between the models themselves. Until I realized that "ooohhh, that's how Tyra always does it, the judges are trying to be like the show. I get it!" Then I got confused about why Tyra is always expressing disapoinment in drama. Because...doesn't she...want it so it will give the show good ratings? Drama = lots of viewers. Don't they purposefully pick girls who will generate drama? And yet they then chastise them for providing the drama. It's all so very confusing. But also so very -NTM, hence why I think this thread is pure solid gold.

the thing is that but "extinguishing" darma on the show, and telling off about it to girls saying "this drama will influence your success here" is craeting MORE suspence and drama for the viewers.

Diddy, I used all the options I could when setting up this poll. The forum just doesnt have the options that I needed and no one was around when I needed them when I was asking about getting new options added.

People will just have to learn to think before the post if they want to avoid getting in trouble.

IMO the winner of this thraed should design an armor set of their own, a UNIQUE one by themselves

or maby not VERY unique, they should have like 5 tokens to give to people of their choice to be able to craft that same armor.

if the winner is not good with coding and graphic design and stuff, we shoudl be given like a tools panel thing like u get in a photoshop program, but with actually elements of armor.

just a tough

Wont be seeing any perks like that unless ANet actually acknowledges this contest. And then there are is the legal crap that goes with an official contest.

Wow haven't seen thread in a long time. Time for a long post.

1st: Perynne, when you said you started the sexy ranger thing, i feel that i am gonna carry out the rangers to victory! GO RANGERS!! *dont have a female warrior so i can't start a new craze
2nd: Um I cant remember if nilene told this but, what are the prizes for the winner?

And now time for everyones not so favorite contest announcer DAN DUDLEY!

Well penguin, as far as i can see, both these competitors have an equal chance of winning this contest. Their portfolios seem to almost be alike, but I would have to go with burnout. It seems she has the better portfolio and it seems she is the one that is right for the title. Love the minipet idea. Though they are right, as Anet would have to get hooked on this thread to allow it. Maybe after another cycle?

Thanks Dan.

BACK TO ME: well i agree with dan *actually thats kinda saying im agreeing with myself* the minipet idea sounds great, if Anet pays attention to this.

GO BURNOUT GO!!!

Edit: Yey, thumbnails ftw.



And it would be kinda sweet to see the winner with the title "Tyria's Next Top Model" under her name ingame

EDIT: also i hope i can purchase 15k druids armor in time for next cycle and dye it white to give it a cool look. I NEED A FRIGGIN RUN TO GROTTO!!! *sry to much spazzin

Well I'm fairly certain my one on one did not go well today. I did not seem to have the magic answer they were looking for, either way I feel I'm being painted as a terrible monster for a post I deeply regret. I am not a horrible person and havnt been for the majority of this competition. I just wish the judges would be as forgiving as perynne.

I'd like to see burnout chick win because she is better than me, not because the judges hate me

SO TRUE! I was about to scream "PERYNNE WALKER # 239123989" But that would count as a flame.

I'd like to see burnout chick win because she is better than me, not because the judges hate me Dont be silly, they dont actually hate you. Your argument was your argument, and now that its resolved... they're only focusing on it to make it more dramatic. I mean... seriously, the most it could have done was taint the TNTM name... but following ANTM stereotypes, the winner usually faces SOME sort of drama in the competition. Yours was just near the end ^.^ Burnout's was near the beginning.

SILLY JADEN.
