CYCLE 4

Hello everyone, and welcome to another fun-filled cycle of one of the most exciting and laid back competitions I run! Wait, you say, how can a competition be both exciting and laid back, you ask? Well, quite simply put, it's exciting because most contestants create stunning works of art and it's laid back because judging is more conversational and directed towards the model, not the contestant!

I know it's a busy time of year and I know that because of this busy time of year, most people are too busy to take on a full commitment that a regular or story-based competition can require. So, that's why Face Off is a wonderful option!

Your assignments are all head shots in Face Off. Each assignment has very little restrictions. Each deadline will be 10 days instead of the typical 7. Each time we judge, you get to see us judges communicate as if your models were real and really taking criticism (kind of like America's Next Top Model). There is no rubric. Instead, judges use a list of criteria that could change with each round to make comments and decide on rankings.

Men and Women are both allowed. All must be Young Adult or Adult.

Yeah Jay's got a different cable guy coming on Monday and it's just... ugh. We've lived in this house for a week and this will be the third time AT&T will be coming to fix whatever the heck's wrong with the wiring.

I do have internet, it's just that the modem is in the wrong room, so I shouldn't need more than two days. My desk is built and now we just need to get my simming computer put back together Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 10 369142835

But that will take maybe two hours, if that.

And thanks, I'm using a backup version of Ace and I just realized that was the version that had the big buggy eyes before I shrunk them down in his new version. I lost the new version of him and forgot to tweak the old version XD

I know kinda what I wanna do for this assignment but I'm not sure the accessory I want to use is for males, so I guess I'll figure that out in a few days Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 10 369142835

Okay I set up my computer but I still wanna keep the extension for the time being to make sure my hard drive didn't get FUBAR'd in the move XD

Thank you so much! Sorry for not checking in sooner!

Can't wait to get to work on the next assignment!

Awesome Elastic!

The accessory I wanted to use on Ace is only for female, booo. XD Back to the drawing board.

Mon Jan 12, 2015 3:29 pm

Hokay here's mine... ended up not needing the extension. My game is all fine and nothing in my computer fell out or broke or got messed up, yay!

Great work you two Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 10 650269930

Don't you hate that fear, Vana? You put everything away nice and tight and still you worry about the internal workings of things like appliances. I always got paranoid moving our big TV that's a plasma because the best buy people scared us into being paranoid - "Don't late that on its side AT ALL!! Stand it upright when moving it!!"

Tue Jan 13, 2015 11:08 pm

Yes, I HATE that fear. Thing is, Jay packed up all our audio/video stuff and was like "Yep it'll work," and I packed my computer and was biting my nails and panicked when it black-screened for a second! Despite the fact that it's always black screened for a second while loading the operating system.

And Jay's just sitting there like "yep all my Platypus works... haven't turned it on but I know it works."

Looks like we lose Tacha as a no show.

@Kay: Please send scores.

Fri Jan 23, 2015 12:07 pm

check!

Fri Jan 23, 2015 12:35 pm

Seen!

And yeah, my graphics card I have in right now is actually somewhat of a downgrade from my old one. This one's just standing in until I get Jay's when he builds a new machine.

That and this computer is pretty stinkin' old. x.x

I shall reserve Bluebeard.

Fri Jan 23, 2015 12:53 pm

@Caco: Hun, please reserve your fairytale person in advance!

@Vana: That's true, I knew that you were waiting on that >.< duh!

Gotcha bluebeard Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 10 369142835

what is that? lol

Fri Jan 23, 2015 1:01 pm

I linked it, but it's basically this dude was considered unmarryable because he had an ugly blue beard, and so he tried to woo this family of sisters and make one marry him. They kept pawning him off on each other until the youngest one goes to dinnner with him and rather likes him, so she marries him.

Then he has to leave the country, and he tells her not to go into a particular room in the house, so she swears she won't...

And then she does, and she finds the severed heads of all his ex wives (who he killed because they went into the room)

The end XD

Fri Jan 23, 2015 1:07 pm

lol dang V...that's a rough one Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 10 369142835

Fri Jan 23, 2015 1:23 pm

I am morbid, what can I say?

Fri Jan 23, 2015 4:48 pm

Okay I went into my graphics drivers and tweaked some shizz. I'm getting a less over-sharpened look. I like it to be a LITTLE sharp, to show facial details like pores and eyeshadow glitter, eye glints and the little stringy things in your iris, little bitty facial hair, etc...

I don't like it to be like my last assignment. I agree, that was too much. XD

I also replaced my HQ mod with something a bit more subtle.

If it can't be fixed, then I'll probably change the skin, because one of the issues might be just how the HQ mod and graphics card both read the skin. It is a very porous skin, so. I dunno.

Gotta make poses though.
