The twelve new finalists of Tyria's Next Top Model are...

Arala Starsong (Mo) - "I found it a little turnoffish that some of the other contestants would bitch about any criticsm."

Beyoncee Knowlez (Me) - "She was a little hot and cold, but when she was on point - she always had the best pictures."

Bierflesjes Klauw (N) - "After watching it, it's grown on me and seems fun so I thought I'd give it a shot"

Geisha Nugra (A) - "My morale is boosted and I am ready to conquer anything in my path."

Lokii Dia (Mo) - "Not only that, she had a personality that no one could ever over look. That’s what all contestants should have, telling everyone, "Hey, I'm here!" That's what made her more memorable."

Lunamaria Cruz (E) - "I could win it! ...I definately plan too though."

Mila Fox (D) - "I thought her progress throughout the cycle was clearly visible."

Miss Melly (Me) - "Some of my favorite things about GW are the outfits and gorgeous scenery, and when those two are put together to make a beautiful photo.. well, all the better!"

Mojave Mango Juice (E) - "When they ended up being the final six, I really couldn’t choose...I just ended up cheering for them all."

Sarah Eleanore (R) - "I do not know whether I will win cycle 2 or not, the first cycle had amazing contestants and who knows who'll apply for the second cycle!"

Sihaya Syme (N) - "Beauty is so much more than skin deep… I want to show people that Necromancers, while often regarded as the ugliest class in game, posses a unique kind of beauty."

Szei Ren (R) - "I have an artist's eye, and I have studied and worked in the fashion and art industry, so I'm naturally able to come up with interesting shots for everyone's viewing pleasure."

We have a great mix of unique individuals who we are all confident in! We believe these twelve will definitely turn up the volume and match Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 1 contestants, and we know they will do some great work!

Again, thank you everyone for applying, it was truly hard for us to narrow the number down to twelve! For everyone who did not make the twelve, don't feel discouraged, we saw many promising applicants, so I hope to see you all again for Cycle 3 somewhere down the line! Since the Virginia Tech incident took place earlier this week, scheduling did not allow for us to contact everyone about there applications, so at this time you may personally request your application/interview results!

Congratulations to our lucky twelve! Strike a pose, cause your journey to becoming Tyria's Next Top Model begins tomorrow!

As I stated, due to the Virginia Tech Incident (a very tragic shooting at a university in the States) earlier this week, we really lost alot of time, one of our judges has family there, and was effected by this horrible act. We had to focus our time on completing the interviews, and we decided to dismiss the rejection letters. We felt it would've been redundant anyways since once we reveal the twelve, that pretty much states who's in and who's out. We do encourage everyone who is interested in how they faired to contact us through [email protected] or send me a PM with your applied character's name.

Welcome to the first week of competition for Tyria's Next Top Model Cycle 2! I'm sure everyone is excited, but don't let it go to your head because someone will be eliminated by the end of this week!

Some of the basic work of Models are doing Calendar shoots, ranging from commercial calendars, to racy swimsuit calendars, and to more edgier calendars like the Signs of Zodiac calendar shot by the cast of ANTM Cycle 4 seen on this week's banner. So if you haven't guessed it by now, your first assignment will be to portray a month of the calendar. I have already predetermined which month each contestant will have, and the list went by alphabetical order and follows...

January - Arala Starsong
February - Beyoncee Knowlez
March - Bierflesjes Klauw
April - Geisha Nugra
May - Lokii Dia
June - Lunamaria Cruz
July- Mila Fox
August - Miss Melly
September - Mojave Mang Juice
October - Sarah Eleanore
November - Sihaya Syme
December - Szei Ren

I know that seasons/holidays/etc will differ from region to region, so this is what we will be expecting you guys to go by...

December, January, February - Winter Looks
March, April, May - Spring Looks
June, July, August - Summer Looks
September, October, November - Autumn Looks

If there is a holiday in your month that you would like to incorporate in your shoot, then you may do so. You may use any special head gear or props in this shoot, but please be wary of the face. While I know that some months have more to work with than others, it's just the luck of the draw. This was done alphabetically, so just do the best that you can.

The standard rules all apply unless specifically noted otherwise.

After selecting a shot that you want to submit, please send the picture to me via PM or Email (whichever method you chose as your preferred mode of communication). With answer's to the following question(s):

1. Where did you take your shot and why did you pick that scenery?

This assignment is due no later than Friday - April 26, 2007
