Welcome everyone!
I have decided to open a modeling competition solely for alternative sims! To enter, just fill out the application form below and show me your sim. :D You will be given one assignment each week and the scores will be decided upon by myself and a fellow judge. If you'd like to judge with myself, let me know though I would like someone with judging experience. :)
Your Sim MUST be alternative. This includes tattoos, piercings and crazy hair. They can come under any style within alternative. Metalhead, Goth, Punk, Emo all is cool!
This competition will be very creative and will require good Photoshop skills. The judges will provide comments aimed to help you improve your overall editing.

    Really well done everyone for making the first season of this comp a success. I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as I have. Hopefully some of you that were eliminated this season can come back next season to compete. :)

    To the final three, well done. Really proud of you guys. Any of you would be an amazing winner.

    Sooo... For the final round, I want to see your model in the middle of a gothic masquerade ball. Think Labyrinth and the beautiful ball in that. Ethereal, otherwordly and beautiful.
    Go all out with this, be creative!

    <3 Requirements <3

    <3 I know you guys can give me sheer beauty.
    <3 Your model can be wearing her mask, or just holding it. Up to you!
    <3 Any type of shot
    <3 She can be in the midst of a party or alone, it's completely up to you.
    <3 As always, carry her style through!
    <3 Be creative and artistic!

    WowLady what a gorgeous and original picture. You've really nailed what I wanted from this finale and once again, your models style is just perfect. This is such a beautiful picture, but the only thing I took one point away for was that the harp did look a little out of place. I really like the sombre, sexy, dark feel. It's great.

    Your models face looks gorgeous in this picture. I'm loving the makeup and sexy look you've gone for, very nice. The things I marked down on were the fact that the mask stands out alot, it doesn't quite look right. Also, the hair is cool but the quality is a little off. I like the feel you've gone for, but it could've flowed a little better.

    This is gorgeous as a wide shot. It's very mystical and sensual; your model look incredible. I love the style you've gone for, her makeup looks stunning and the mask is so cute. Very nice touch. I loooove that it's nice and big but the background looks a little pixelated. I don't know, I just think the background could've been better. Overall, I really like it but some quality issues let it down.

    Lady, I love your style and it really shows through here. I love the hair, just gorg-, and her dress, it is really, really cool. I also really loved the mask, definitely fits your steam-punk style. But I was a bit lost with the background, was this a harp? Everything is so dark, its hard to differentiate the model/background, and then the strings being so bright is distracting as well. I also notice a bit too harsh of shading and/or burn in spots, but I didn’t take much for it. I really love the overall feel of this image, and it looks finale worthy!

    You have a very pretty model, but this shot doesn’t feel like a finale. I didn’t get a sense of direction, or a cohesive feel. The lighting is all over the place, dark, then overly bright. The dress could be cool, if we saw more of it, but is the neck piece part of the dress? Either way, it looks so blurry in comparison to the rest. You’ve added the mask, but it feels very ‘placed’ rather than really in her hand. Some shading under it might have helped give it depth.

    Vi, I love your model, she looks so sexy here! Those lips and piercing eyes just draw me in. I like the mask for the most part, but feels rather flat, more shading, or a different angle for the rod holding it would help. I love the addition of the horn though, I thought is was a good touch to keep your models’ equestrian style. But what really threw me off, was the background. It just doesn’t seem right, the colors are too grayscale in comparison to your model. I more saturated background might have scored you a bit higher, but none the less, you created a beautiful shot!

    @xJojox I think you need a certain amount of posts and like to be able to post pictures.. But I'm not sure of numbers. Let me look into it and let you know. :)
    @Meeshelby Yayyy! <3
    @BobSkellington Are you competing hun? I would offer editing advice but I'm a judge so I can't really. :/ However, there are some really good tutorials over on TS3 modeling.
    @Eliavah Ooooo I would adore to see you compete but I understand. :) If you want to help in that way, I would be really grateful!
