Where all my final submissions will be. 

[Tier 2]

Reward #1 - Sabotage

Cara Delevingne of Sugar & Spice

[Tier 2]

Photoshoot #1 - Triple Trouble

Model - Alina Artts - Potential




I'm using this photo because of Alina's powerful stance and showing her cold, stern, Russian way in her face. This shows that she's serious and wants to do all facets of modeling, not just the smile and pose. She's also showing high poise and fashion for revealing a lot of skin on her legs and suggesting both ample butt and boob without revealing them.

Celebrity - Sheryl Crow - Smile



Sheryl Crow's smiles are either super fake or super intense. So, I had to find a happy medium. The public wants a celebrity who they can trust. Her smile seems to hinge to the genuine side and since she's battled cancer, brain tumor, and is a single mom of 2, I'm sure she can sell whatever it is she needs to with this smile.

Fictional Character - Leone - Basic Beauty



This image, in my opinion, has Leone with a better chin and nose than the other image I was tempted to use. Since she is slightly smiling and looking at the on-looker directly I believe it gives her more of a beauty element. The other image is seemingly bashful which when done right can be cute. But I think this image is done slightly better.

[Janice Dickinson]

Alina, I had my doubts about you. I could've find a lot of you for the avatar/memory wall. But I think this is great! There's something off about it, though - The arm. It's been cut off, and just looks a bit strange, just birthing out of your stomach like an Alien movie.

Sheryl, I can see what you mean by super fake, because this looks like it too. It's due to what Tyra would say, not smiling with her eyes. Her eyes just don't have the fire.

Leone, this would be better if you were in centre of the frame, and if the background wasn't in the same colour scheme as you. It makes you blend in.

[Morgan Freeman]

Alina - Well hello! You remind me of a beautiful peacock with those tail feathers, if I were a male peacock I'd be trying my hardest to impress you right now. The fashion is awesome, your body is awesome and I see some androgyny in your face. Be careful that doesn't turn into drag in the competition.

Sheryl - I am distracted by your skin coloured mole at the side of your mouth which isn't a good sign, I'm meant to be focusing on your smile which is not appealing to me. You are a beautiful woman but you need to showcase your beauty more through modelling.

Leone - You have very interesting features, your eyes are quite captivating but as Janice said the colour scheme in the background isn't helping you to be the center of attention.

Alina
I like the pose and I' not quite sure what Janice is talking about when she said your arm looks cut off.

That's because I haven't gotten to her, yet!

I think it's definitely an interesting shot and as an introduction to you, it serves well. I agree with Morgan that you should keep an eye on your angles cause you can appear to have a masculine face with certain angles.


Sheryl
I'm so happy to see you here, Sheryl, cause all I wanna do is have some fun. I've got a feeling, I'm not the only one.

Oh god, don't sing!

I love how natural your smile feels in this shot. While your eyes may not be beaming, it still feels like a natural smile to me. I do have to agree with Morgan that your mole is a little distracting, but I won't hold that against you since it's a natural part of your body and I've overlooked natural facial features in other seasons.


Leone
I'm actually fine with this being off-center and you matching the background sky. The background could just be because I love that color to begin with, but I don't find you blending into it in a detrimental way. I also think that with such a basic shot, the odd positioning gives us something interesting. I like the way your hair is styled, love your eyes, and I get a sense of emotion coming from you. I don't lack the lack of overall detail when it comes to your mouth, but I realize that is the art style and not something wrong with this particular shot. Overall, good work.

Reward #2 - Rule 63

Male Leone from Akame ga kill



Unfortunately, that's the only male version of her. I would know because I chose to be the male version of her this past halloween.

SPOILER: Click to show

And there were pretty good female cosplays of Squall Leonhart, just I don't have enough time to find a good one for you all to admire at at this point in time.

Photoshoot #2 - Sex Sells

Model: Alina Artts (Model)



She's selling a jewelry line. She's showcasing the necklace, earring (with her hand tucking back her hair and showcasing the earring even more) and bracelets. But, she's not letting the merchandise out shine her. She's all perked up and smiling for the cameras to help sell the product. Kinda like QVC.

Don't know if that QVC type of modeling is good though, but I think this is one of the best I have. Hopefully I can make it to the next round >.>

[Janice Dickinson]

I think you should have cropped the text out. It would have made the image smaller, and drew the attention more towards your necklace and neckline. For example. Open the image up in a new tab so you can see all of it. View it from the zoomed out/full picture view. Then go to the actual pixel view. See how much of a difference that makes in terms of showing off the necklace more? It's not a bad picture, but it just needs a bit of cropping.

[Hikaru Utada]

Oh dear, I'm not sure I've seen many women dressed like that on QVC.

More like those 3am commercials for 900 numbers!

Still, this is the sex sells round, so that's not a bad thing. Normally, I'd say to try to find an image without the text or to photoshop it out, but the picture would have been perfectly fine just cropping that part out and it may have even been better since there would have been less to draw our eyes away from your necklace. You have a lovely smile and I love the way your eyes are done. I'm not too worried about the size since it's just barely larger than my screen, so it helps cut out part of the photo that I didn't want to see, anyway. In the future, try to keep a eye on the size of your image, though.

[Morgan Freeman]

This could be a naturally sexy photo to sell of those acessories but there are features that are not working for me. As the other judges pointed out the text is way too distracting, theres too much of it to be ignored. And in order to sell the bracelets I feel like your whole arms need to be visible, the way they are cut off and enter into the photo creates a distraction for me. That being said the center part of the photo is dripping with sensuality.

Photoshoot #3 - It's a party

Used: Leone (Fictional Character)




Welp. I *think* I'm taking a big risk. Which will either work out in my favor. Or it will be my swan song.
Neither Sheryl Crow or Leone had any good 'party' photos.
So... I created this one. I took three different images: a background, a Leone and a different smile; Then, combined them.
The reason I chose this background is because I wanted a dancing vibe but I didn't want the people to be a distraction so they're just black silhouettes so Leone is still the focus of this shot. I think merging the three photos took down some of the crisp outlines but with my rudimentary skills, I couldn't really do any better. (I tried for hours - any pointers would be nice. I own pixelmator and pixlr). I chose this version of Leone because I needed an attractive Leone with some sort of modeling-like pose. And I chose a different smile, because you gotta be having fun at a party!

[Janice Dickinson]

I like the outfit, and the concept. I know this is your standard outfit, but it does look like a clubbing outfit. However, the illustration looks very ameteurish, and not very model-like. Your editing skills were seemless, if you didn't tell us, I wouldn't've known, and I appreciate the effort that went into this though. I've done something similar before when I played as Captain America:



I used a (Cracked) copy of photoshop for it, but GIMP is a program that would probably work just as well. GIMP is a free program, and works similar to photoshop, but not exactly the same.

Your problem was the main picture. Being a Japanese character, your best results would come from pixiv. レオーネ アカメが斬る is some keywords you should consider with Leone.

Good luck!

Gah. Damn it.
