The unexpected death of Chadwick Boseman hit fans of the Marvel Comics Universe hard in late August. It serves as a reminder that we never know what one individual is struggling with, and that what we do with our time in this world matters.
To celebrate his life, and the fandoms that bind us together as a community, the challenge for September will be the Marvel Comics Universe. This can be a cosplay, or a simple emotional piece to share your love of this diverse and colorful fandom.
Wakanda Forever

We had a good variety of entries for our Dutch Angle challenge, and votes were scattered hither and thon. We also had a good display of how to properly use a dutch angle to subtly correct an image or add some tension. Thanks to the ENTM entrants for showing us that you had it in you.
But alas, there can only be one winner when there isn’t a tie – and we can all breathe easier because this means Ona won’t kill us for subjecting her to all these dutch angles.
With Go Big or Go Home, the winner for August is Ona and Amelie for their monster mashup!
Stay tuned for the September challenge, coming soon!
It’s time to vote for the August winner! The theme for this month was Dutch Angles, the much maligned tool in photography used to convey feelings of unease or a dreamlike state.
We had seven photographers rise to the occasion and do their best to give you a tilted treat. Please click on each image to view it in more detail, and then vote for your favorite in the Google Poll below!

Dutch angles have often brought controversial debates within the ENTM community; some people love them and others loathe them. In the name of fun and learning, Forthyn and Aelyria wanted to challenge everyone to submit their best dutch angle shot, following guidelines established for dutch angles in cinematography.
For the uninitiated, dutch angles are also known as canted angles, dutch tilts, or oblique angles. Usually, screenshots are oriented in such a way that the angle is parallel with the bottom of the camera frame (horizontal or true vertical shots). Dutch angles quite literally turn these on their side. Within cinematography and photography, dutch angles are used to portray a sense of uneasiness or tension, or to push the sense of something being “off/wrong” about a scene or character.
However, it can also be used to “fix” visual movement and be a subtle asset to the scene. Within FFXIV’s own Gpose, a slight dutch dock can contribute greatly to a shot, and completely avoid the harsher connotations it is better known.
So let’s get a little twisted and see your best dutch shot! Time to get Tilted!
♡ Forthyn and Aelyria
Well then! Let’s break the rules and make the ENTM judges cry for the month of August. Entries will be accepted until August 21st, 2020 at 11:59 PM EST. To enter, DM your screenshot to Admin Katarh Mest on our Discord channel. The winner of this is going to get Ona’s unending wrath a minion from the Mogstation, or another item of similar value.
