Classic Cycle 13 Round 5 – Death and Taxes

For this week’s challenge, I asked our models to use some throwback photography skills and bring a shot in pure black and white photography.

It comes for all of us. Show us your character being sad….. whether it’s about money or mundane things, or the deeper things in life.

Classic Cycle 13 Round 4 Winner

We had our big battle challenge for week 4, and while all of our models showed how well they can fight off a bad guy, one model in particular wow’d the judges for his fighting prowess. Congratulations to Isillud Losstarot for winning the challenge this week!

We have two more weeks in Classic Cycle 13. Thank you to all the models and judges for surviving Patchmas this week! (6.1 dungeons/zones are not permitted to be used, though, so no worries about spoilers.)

Classic Cycle 13 Round 4 – Protector of the Realm

For the fourth challenge of the cycle, we have our battle shots! Our models were asked to go out and take a picture of them engaged with an enemy, showing off how they prefer to save the world. There were no other restrictions other than to try to take the coolest screenshot possible.

Classic Cycle 13 Round 3 Winner

April Fool’s is over (and I admit, I got sucked into /r/place over the weekend) but the pranks our models pulled with their minions are going to haunt their victims forever. This week, the model with the best Shenanigan goes to Chibi Blu, for telling her friend that it was a treasure chest when it was really a mimic.

The judges really loved the expression on your character’s face, as well as your victim’s reaction, capturing the perfect moment in time for an April Fool’s prank.

Congratulations!

Chibi Blu

Classic Cycle 13 Round Three – Shenanigans

April 1st is known as “April Fool’s Day” and it’s a day for pranks, lies and other general japery. For this round, I asked our models to take their favorite minion and go out and have some fun – even if it was at the expense of other people! This was a technically challenging round and our models did a fantastic job incorporating their minions into their shots.

We had eight entries this week. Please click on each image to view it in full size, then use your browser’s back button to return to this blog post. Vote for the shots using the Google poll below – remember that your #1 will be the strongest, and then rank down to the weakest at #8.

Classic Cycle 13 Round 2 Winner

Wowee, this was one of the more hotly contested ENTM rounds that I can remember in recent memory. Judges disagreed with each other, and the community disagreed with them – but that’s why we have a mixture of judges and opinions and we use MATH to get down to a somewhat objective answer.

All that to say, after everything was tallied up, the winner this week for the strongest Spring Fling glam was Yurimi Sky! Congratulations!

Yurimi Sky

This upcoming week will be one of our infamous technically challenging rounds, so please look forward to it!

Classic Cycle 13 Round Two: Spring Fling

It’s spring in North America, and for the challenge this week I asked our models to give us a dose of some SPRING FLING fashion. This shot is a “runway style” shot switched to vertical, with the outfit being the star and our model giving us a full look at it.

The weather is getting warmer and spring has sprung!  Give us your prettiest spring themed glam.

All eight models submitted an entry for this week! Please click on each image below to load it in full size, and then use the browser’s back button to return to this post. And then vote for the strongest in the poll below. Remember, ENTM uses golf scores, so the shot you think is the strongest should be your #1, and then on down for the week.

Classic Cycle 13 Round 1 Winner

Our judges adored everyone’s depictions of free time, but after all the voting had settled, our judges and the community agreed that the strongest shot this week came from Ninifipsi!

The small details, the soft lighting, and the glamour all melded together to give us a quick glimpse into Ninifipsi’s flower filled home life.

Ninifipsi Fini

Our second round will be coming out later on this week! Stay tuned!

Classic Cycle 13 Round 1: Free Time

Welcome everyone to the first week of voting for Classic Cycle 13! We’re kicking things off in a leisurely fashion with a theme called Free Time. This is a staple of the early ENTM rounds back when we were on the forums.

The models were given this clue:

“How do you spend your free time when you’re not being a model?  Do you do dangerous raids, do you garden, do you fish?  Show us your hobby!”

Please view each of the images below by clicking on the middle to view it full size. Use your browser’s back button to return to this post.

And then vote for each of the images from strongest at the top with #1 down to the weakest at the bottom with #8 using the Google poll found on the bottom of this post. (Remember, ENTM uses ‘golf scores’ so the lowest score wins each round.) Voting will be open to the community until Tuesday, March 22nd at 11:59 PM ET.

Renovation Cycle Round 6: Magical Mayhem

Ready to go on the Magical Mystery Tour of the rooms our designers built? For the very last round of Renovation Cycle 1 our amazing judge, Daiyu Elani (AKA Daiyu-rama), wanted to start the round with a theme fitting for the spooky nights ahead: MAGIC! Many of Daiyu’s builds are magical, with her open windows and cute dioramas, it did seem fitting she would choose such a fun theme. So, to kick off the Halloween weekend, here are the magical builds this week from our designers ranging from Wicked to magical Fairy Tales! Please view the entries below and vote for you favorite at the end of the post!

And introducing our guest judge this week, the unforgettable Malkovich!

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a two-time S-Rank model and ENTM Renovation Cycle guest judge. He’s whatever ENTM needs him to be. You’ll condemn him, set the dogs on him… because it’s what needs to happen. Because sometimes the medium plot isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve the mansion. Sometimes people deserve to have their hours spent making a stuffed tonberry float in mid-air rewarded. He’s the hero ENTM deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, you’ll show him screenshots, because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero. He’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Malkovich Malkovich.
