Baby You Were Born This Way – “Selfie” Style

We Kick Off Fresh Faces 2.0 with a round sending our models back “home” to snap a Polaroid with their kinsfolk.
When you are the warrior of light, you sometimes have to revisit your roots and remember where you came from. Cause Baby, you were born this way.


Though the models had “Selfie” identified in the “Style” candid photos were also acceptable! They just had to use the Polaroid frame to capture their shots! Take some time to vote for your favorites!

GO HERE TO VOTE

Remember votes are 1 – First choice, 10 – Last choice.

Fresh Faces – The Judges

My Love : Ni’ko Shae : made me this banner… isn’t it absolutely beautiful?

On Friday we get to announce the contestants in the upcoming cycle!
But today we celebrate…

THE JUDGES!!!!!

These hand picked, top shelf, fine looking judges are not only amazing models themselves, but also have proven to have an eye for helping others!
Fresh Faces Deux is super excited to have them to lay down the critiques and give the newbies some feedback for improvement!

I also want to welcome my amazing Assistant Mentor this Cycle!
Elessia and I shared many a screenshot during Allstars Cycle
She beat me, partly because she’s gorgeous, partly because she is an amazing G-Pose Artist! Either way, she is going to be a massive support to me and the models this cycle!

I am the Host and Mentor of this Cycle, Odharnait “Ona” Greene, and will be guiding the cycle through Six Weeks of challenge prompts for the new models!


Sometimes I write posts drunk. Sometimes I have crazy ideas. I may or may not have picked the rounds during a drunken crazy idea session.

Either way, join us for the excitement! The adventure!

This is…
Fresh Faces 2: 2021 Edition!

Fresh Faces – 2021 Edition

Have you been lurking in the shadows too afraid to compete?

Well now is your chance!

Concerned you wont have a chance against the veterans?

Seriously, I am a veteran, why are you worried?

Want to risk it all for fame an fortune?

That one isn’t going to happen….

Do you want to finally cast off the shroud of doubt and join in the competition to welcome new models and gain that elusive Yellow Title of “S-Rank Model”?

Then now is your time to shine!

ENTM is now holding Open Auditions for New Models to compete in our Fresh Faces competition which begins in uh… ***checks calendar*** Three weeks!

Beginning on April 30th (first week open for public voting on May 1st), the competition will run for 6 weeks, and will be a non-elimination, vanilla cycle, open to those models who have never before competed in an ENTM competition. If you are interested in auditioning, please submit three images to me privately (discord or email – OdharnaitGreene@gmail.com) and include the following information:

  1. Character Name
  2. Server
  3. Race
  4. Main Class
  5. Three images in the following categories
    • Headshot! Must be a bust shot, so shoulders and up!
    • Action shot! Go kill something. Look beautiful while doing it!
    • Freestyle shot (with a twist!) BASE RACE GEAR GLAM. Everyone looks good in the 2B Gear, so let’s be basic!

The competition will be hosted by none other than Your Friendly Neighborhood Odharnait “Ona” Greene (who’s butt you can see above).

So…

GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE

All of your beautiful faces!

Auditions close on Wednesday April 21st at Midnight and models will be announced on Friday April 23rd!

All Stars Grand Finale

We are at the end of a two month journey. A few of our models hit bumps along the road, but somehow we emerged at the end with all 14 models still participating and voting each week, which is incredible.

I want to thank everyone who agreed to Rongi Pongi’s crazy idea for self-scoring, and I am grateful I had the opportunity to bring this cycle to fruition. We probably won’t do an All Stars cycle every year, and the next time we do I’ll probably have a different formula, but it was definitely a fun experiment to try and a good excuse to get more screenshots from some of our best models since we started in 2014.

After a good bit of head scratching and a lot of helpful fill-ins from Google Sheets, I’ve got the data that you all were waiting for: the winners!

In third place, with a cumulative score of 186, we have Elessia Sedai!

In second place, with a cumulative score of 182, we have Malkovich Malkovich!

And our grand prize winner for our inaugural All Stars Cycle, with a cumulative score of 178, is Yomu Kazul!

Yomu

Congratulations Yomu!

Community votes are also a crucial aspect of our scoring system. Sometimes the community disagrees with our judges, but most often the purpose of the community score is to break the ties when the judges can’t agree themselves. Our winners for Community Votes this cycle are Elessia Sedai, Odharnait Green, and Ninifipsi Fini.

ENTM will be celebrating the two year anniversary of our website now that it is March, so our next project (while we prepare the next contest for everyone) will be an all inclusive community refresh of the website. Please stick around for additional news about this project in the next few days!

All Stars Round 8 Winners

Last week’s challenge was to go hang out with a new beast tribe. We had our models frolicking with the pixies, tinkering with the dwarves, or chilling with the Nu Mou. Voting was pretty tight, but the top three from last week were Malkovich, Elessia, and Yomu!

Host Katarh is currently doing a lot of spreadsheet math to tabulate the overall winner of All Stars. Please watch this space for updates sometime today!

All Stars Round 8: New Beast Tribes

It’s the final week! To wrap up All Stars, I asked the models to go to the First and take a picture with any one of the new beast tribes that were added. We had twelve models submit a shot this week.

Please look at each of the images below, and then rank them in order from strongest (1) to weakest (12) at the bottom of the page using the Google Poll! To view each image in a larger size, click on it in the middle. Then use your browser’s back button to return to this page.

All Stars Round 7 Winners

Sorry for the delay in getting this up – work consumed both models and host alike in the last 24 hours. For Round 7, we sent our models down to the dungeons. (Or Raids. Or other Duties As Assigned.) The three models who gave us the best shot this week were Ninifipsi, Stephen, and Yomu! Congratulations, and I hope you all got out of there alive.

We have one more week of All Stars before we determine who the grand SS rank winner is. (Who am I kidding, all these models are already SS rank.) We also have news about our next upcoming cycle soon – so for those of you who have been itching to get in on the ENTM action, please stay tuned!

All Stars Round 7: Raidn’ Tombs

Round 7 of course must pay homage to Cycle 7, which itself was a fun set of recycled themes as a bit of a retrospective. Of those, Raidn’ Tombs has been a perennial favorite, in which we ask our models to go into any dungeon and give us their best freestyle shot. For All Stars, we opened this up to any duty that could be accessed via Duty Finder, since there’s a lot of really great locations that aren’t technically dungeons that the models wanted to explore. (Although I think we’re all still too traumatized for anyone to have included Delibrum Reginae yet.)

Click on each image below to view it in a larger size! Then use the back button on your browser to return to this post. To vote, please use the Google Poll linked at the bottom to rank them in order from 1-13, with 1 being the strongest and then on down.

All Stars Round 6 Winners

Last week we asked our All Stars to push the boundaries of fashion (and good taste) and show themselves rocking a glamour that wouldn’t normally be a staple in a fashionista’s wardrobe. Voting was pretty tight this round, but the top three this week in no particular order were Ninifipsi, Forthyn, and Escher!

One thing all the judges this week seemed to agree is that confidence in their choices played a huge part in making these outfits work. Congratulations to the top three for pulling it off successfully!
