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.

Those of you who have submitted already, please double check your entries. I see several of you who have failed to meed the size requirement of 650x1000. If you can, you can fix that aspect and resubmit. It is important that the size requirement is met since I'll be using the head shots as the model wall.

Those people with incorrect sizes are:

Elastic
Cheerio
Bob

If you do not fix this, your image may appear distorted when made into the model wall.

I love her so much too so I just decided to give her pink hair to spruce her up, but she's my fave model.

Awww I'm not going to have my computer back up and running in four days, so I can't join. But if you ever need a guest judge for this, just PM me!

I'll have my computer fixed Saturday. Jay and I are going to work on it Friday night when the parts come. Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 2 369142835

Sad to hear that Vana!

Looks great Alex!

I'm glad to see all the wonderful models Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 2 650269930

I'm sorry I've been away. I was working non-stop and will continue to do so, so I may not be on as much. I'm loving what I see though!

Thu Oct 09, 2014 8:01 pm

Okay, so sign ups will end Friday night. That means anyone left who's on the reserved list will have until Sunday to submit a model/assignment or we move on without you. I want to start the next assignment by Monday night since I'll be working non-stop for 5 days after that. Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 2 650269930

I should make a new sim for this today, don't wanna be too late.

Fri Oct 10, 2014 12:32 pm

Ooh if you're taking entries til Sunday is there any way I can still sign up? I'll just need to do the picture, but we're fixing my hard drive today and installing Windows on it, and Sims will be installing tonight while I sleep, so...

Please? XD

Fri Oct 10, 2014 1:28 pm

Today is the last day to request to reserve, so yes, Vana you're fine. Just get it all in Sunday.

Fri Oct 10, 2014 1:29 pm

I'll add you to the list Laryanue

Fri Oct 10, 2014 3:37 pm

Yay! We've taken apart half my computer, replaced some parts, installed Windows...

Windows is now updating and Sims is installing. Face Off Cycle 4 - WINNER ANNOUNCED!! - Page 2 369142835

It's up and running a lot earlier than I thought because Jay came home early, so Sims should be good to go by tonight.

We didn't replace the RAM though. So if it doesn't work still, might have to do that. But we are fairly sure the RAM was not the issue...

I forgot to mention, my name on the officials is Simscouture, so I was already reserved on those forums, sorry for the confusion.

I just realized Ace might look like he's photoskinned. He's not; it's the pore makeup by Shyne. Just set to a bit dark to give him some definition while he's saturated. So he's not photoskinned; he's just porous. XD

Also Beech I know you sometimes forget there's a guy in here, but Ace commonly cross-dresses so don't worry about him! XD XD XD

Sat Oct 11, 2014 9:48 pm

Anyone who is in the reserved list has to submit Sunday night by 9pm PST. I will ask Kay to judge all entries so that we can move on on Monday. No more signups or new "reserves" will be added to the list.
