For this week, we are paying homage to Cycle 5 with a round in the Gold Saucer. It’s changed a lot since our first round with it as a theme, so we have a much bigger and more beautiful variety of shots for this round than we could have before. We asked the models to show us enjoying the attractions – with no other restrictions, so this was a wide open scenic shot.

Round Four was full of monsters and a whole lot of the magic of cinema to make things look interesting. Hopefully everyone successfully defeated their foes despite any setbacks. The top three shots for technical battle prowess and mastery of sticker mode this week were, in no particular order: Rymm, Elessia, and Aelyria!
For Round 4 of our inaugural All Stars cycle, we paid homage to Cycle 4 and sent our models out to do a technically challenging battle shot. This shot had to be taken with them fighting or visibly engaged with any FATE boss or other monster, with the addition of the new Gpose sticker mode “FATE Joined” label slapped on it, in case it wasn’t obvious what they were doing.
Getting a good battle shot is always rough, but doing so in a FATE made things twice as hard…. this round involved a lot of photography tricks, extras helping to tank things, waiting for the stupid FATE to pop, waiting for the right weather, and in my case, getting my fishing trip interrupted.
Enjoy the fruits of our labors, and then give your rankings in the Google poll at the bottom of the page! To view an image in a larger size, click on the middle. Use the back button on your browser to return to this page. Voting will be open until Tuesday, Feb 2nd at 11:59 PM EST.

The hard earned time off is over because our next round is a technical doozy, but in the meantime, these are the top three models (in no particular order) whose hobbies enthralled us and made us feel the most cozy with that Echo filter.
Congratulations to Ninifipsi, Yomu, and Elessia, for showing us that whether it’s cluttered or tidy, creative or restful, home is the best place to relax for the weekend.
In honor of Cycle 3, which had a nice relaxing theme that asked our models to show off their free time hobbies when not saving the world or being a world class model, we brought back Relaxation Time for the Round 3 challenge. The twist for this post Gpose cycle was to use the Echo filter to “add that old timey feel.” So without further ado, here are the All Stars models taking a break and showing us how they spend their down time.

Our 14 intrepid models took us on a three hour tour of some really neat wrecks. There was a lot of arguments about who had the most spectacular crashes (and who had the most premium deserted island to boot) but in the end three shots emerged on top for this extremely good, extremely scenic round.
Congratulations to our shipwrecked ALL MALE models in the top three, for showing us your abs I mean showing us some fantastic destruction of property: Forthyn, Malkovich, and Yomu!
Welcome back everyone to another week of our first ever All Stars Cycle! For Week 2, we took our inspiration from Cycle 2 and stranded our models someplace. Unlike Cycle 2, which was still limited by no Gpose and only a handful of potential locations, our models and self-judges were allowed to run wild with this idea and interpret it however they chose.
Please look at their selections below, and then go to our Google poll at the bottom of the gallery and rank them 1-14! Click on the center of a shot to make it bigger, then use your browser’s back button to return to this post.
Critiques are open to the public on our Discord channel. Tell our models what you loved about their shots, or anything you felt might have made these shots stronger. Look for the #all-stars-critiques channel and share your thoughts!

Hello my lovelies, it’s time to reveal who the top three vote getters were for our first round! With the judges all ranking themselves, we’ve definitely got some professional opinions about How To Slay Your Ice Queen for this round.
Since All Stars is a little bit different, our winners each week are a little bit different. The top three for Round 1, in no particular order, were Yomu, Aelyria, and Odharnait! Looks like fashion was the royal pedigree everyone was looking for this week.
It has begun, our very first All Stars Cycle! In honor of Forum Cycle 1 all those years ago, the first round is named Ice Queens and our models have been asked to take a shot in Shiva’s arena. Any of Shiva’s arenas. There sure are a lot of Shiva’s arenas these days, no? Specifically, we added Eden 8 as a valid location for this round, or models could take a shot in unsynced Shiva HM or Shiva Ex, or in Faux Hollows Shiva if they felt like being a masochist.
Free style, so they were allowed to play with this idea however they wanted!
Please view the gallery below. Click on the shots to make each of them larger. And then vote in the Google Poll to rank the images 1-14 based on your preferences, technical skill, composition, or whether it made you laugh or not. There are no rules because these models are all already winners and you are gonna have a tough time deciding for sure!
NEW FOR ALL STARS: These images are open for public critiques if you are a member of our Discord! Please hop over to the #all-stars-critiques channel and share your thoughts on the images! Voting and critiques will be open to the public until Tuesday January 12th at 10:00 PM EST.

Please help me in congratulating the winner of ENTM’s sophomore run of Runway Cycle, and our newest S-Rank Model…
Rymmrael Bhaldraelwyn!
Rymm kept it rael all cycle by executing each challenge while bringing forth classic storytelling to each shot. Rymmrael Bhaldraelwyn’s storytelling is especially apparent during the three weeks of the Zero to Hero Ball where we see her just getting off the boat to begin her journey, her enlistment with the Maelstrom, and then finally our mind can simply imagine her at the helm of her very own ship taking her to a horizon all her own. Her creative use of just the right background really helped to encapsulate the look each shot brought. Rymm brought the essence of our Classic Cycle to Runway, and I could not be more proud.

Our second place victor, Yomu Kazul, really brought a level of vibrancy to their shots that we hadn’t seen in quite some time, even while the backdrop was dark and mysterious. Yomu showed a real knack for creative poses, dramatic backdrops, and a level of humour that I think we can all appreciate. Yomu also earned the community vote for this cycle; this is the winner of the combined votes from community alone, excluding our judges.
Our third place victor, Meztli Kagon, really let her cinematographic prowess flex this cycle with several shots feeling like a movie poster come to life. Our fourth place victor, Yume Aawkot, showed us her eye for creating unique and lively glamours all while capturing just the right pose to compliment them with.
And, of course, our competition wouldn’t have been a full house without our fifth place victors: Alastor Izunia, Aldrid Light, Araatel Doyerii, Djevh’a Kam’lanaut, Khloe Jaab, Kimi Kho, Marcelloix Axios, and Sphinx Apocrypha. You all did wonderfully this cycle, and gave us some of our most favourite shots. It was genuinely a great joy to see you grow with each passing week, and how you responded to feedback. It has been my honour to be your mentor. I thank you so much for being a part of this, and look forward to seeing what you bring in the future.
I want to thank you all for participating in whatever capacity. This cycle our roster included ENTM veterans and newcomers alike. Our cast and judges panel spanned the globe and back. A special thank you to our judges, Katarh Mest, Odharnait “Ona” Greene, Escher Strange, Aelyria Windrunner, and of course our special substitute judge Malkovich Malkovich.
These past few months have been incredible, and I hope you all had as much fun competing, judging, and watching as I have had hosting. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to get to know you all, and sharing in this experience with me. You’re all winners, baby.
