[Cinamun]

she looks good zerdz!

[zerdz]

Thanks Cin! astrid looks amazing in the second photo :D

[beeskibran_SC]

Great zerds, but do you think you can link the bigger pic to one without a shadow? Because I am photoshopping the ones I have today, and it would be much easier to do one without a shadow, but it is awesome though!

[zerdz]

okay. I'll erase the shadow tonight. For now, its school. Good luck guys!

[beeskibran_SC]

[jaela_SC]

Wow, those are stunning beeskibran!!

[redwing_SC]

Bee...help, please. I finished my nude shot, and it meets your requirements re size. My problem is I don't know how to link it to my entry (for which I'll reduce the size). (Click the link below, and you'll understand part of my problem...I put the URL of the larger pic in the link, but it links to Wikipedia???) And please see my second note to you in Photoshoot Two.


Photoshoot One

Larger pic (http://http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1478/6296789/17070837/266565167.jpg)

Link does not work properly...this is the larger pic (would you like me to trim it...black only...to meet S2C size requirements? Please note that the larger pic is much sharper.):

Photoshoot Two

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1478/6296789/17070837/266592695.jpg


Bee...I don't know how to adjust the size or background on this pic. If I make the pic larger, I lose a lot of sharpness. Re the background, I think you'll find that it will photoshop pretty well. Please let me know, and I'll try to change anything you'd like me to. I'm very sorry to be so much trouble.


SHORT BIO in third person

http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1478/6296789/17070837/266601764.jpg

Jacob Winston Garrison was born in Los Angeles, California, on December 19, 1983 to Stephen and Naomi Garrison. Stephen is of partial Swedish heritage, and Naomi is of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage. Jake has graduated from high school and college (Dartmouth) and has been traveling around the U.S. trying to learn where he’ll best fit in. He’s single, and his favorite critters are his dogs: a German Shepherd named Atticus and a Puggle named Boo Radley after the characters of his favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird. He noticed that in a lot of photo spreads in the best magazines credit is given to Alegra Cole, and so when he learned that she is sponsoring 8th and Ocean Season One: Quest To Find the New Face of Alegra Cole Models, he submitted an application. He may be green, but he’s also naturally enthusiastic and very charming. The smart money is on his being a big success.

[Cinamun]

:jaw: OMG BEE!! Thank you that looks so good! Would it be terribly vain of me to put that as my desktop? :rofl: Great work!

Redwing he looks VERY good, nice work!

[zerdz]

I'm done (http://forums.sims2community.com/showpost.php?p=952361&postcount=255) :D

[beeskibran_SC]

Cool zerdz, I am updating the magazine later tonight!

Edit: There will be no comments this round, simply because the background, make-up, hairstyle, and somewhat the poses were decided by me. But You can expect scores though, I forgot to include those last round. ;)

Keep getting those entries in, if you need an extension let me know :D

Showing talent as a painter and sculptor from an early age, Bruno Fairchild graduated with honors from the Sim City Art Institute, and then moved to Italy for two years to study painting and pigment-making techniques. Upon his return to Sim City, his brother, actor Aldo Fairchild, told him about Alegra Cole’s 8th and Ocean project, and urged him to submit a portfolio. Much more accustomed to being the artist than the model, Bruno shot some self-portraits to submit to Ms.Cole, and was accepted into the competition.

Bruno’s unique looks and exotic beauty give him an unparalleled versatility as a model. His creativity and artistic ability promise to make him an important new face to watch in the rapidly-moving world of high fashion.

Bruno is the youngest of five brothers, and the son of Senator Llewellyn Fairchild. He shares a beach house with three of his brothers and his cat, Rasputin.

[zerdz]

h3nker! Those are amazing!

[kiki24]

She's right your nude shot is AMAZING! Is this round over?

[beeskibran_SC]

In about an hour, but i feel like i am missing someone's entry

*goes to check and update first post*

[Pors]

beeskibran - I sent you a pm - do I have time to do an entry for this round? If not, I completely understand - I wrote down the wrong due date for this round in my notes.

[beeskibran_SC]

Yes, you can still complete this 24hrs extentions!

Bio
http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o30/pors_12/confessional.jpg

Laci Vessario is considered by most in the business to be the next upcoming model. She has portrayed a modern image of the sultry movie stars of days gone by. Laci has that deep look in her eyes and pouty lips that make men (and women) want to see more of her. Laci has these words to offer to the young ladies out there "Believe in yourself and in your own style of beauty."

[Cinamun]

And we're done!! Beautiful pictures everyone! Good Luck!

[SimsArtThat_SC]

And my scores are in! Sorry no comments this round, but beeskibran is right....if anyone really wants a comment or an explanation of their score, just pm me. This was a tight round because of the more focused criteria.

Best of luck everyeone :beer:

[Connectzeedots_SC]

I'd like to donate my sim Tanya as a prize =]

[Tyler_SC]

My scores have been in for some time now. Can't wait to see the end results!

[Cinamun]

Everything okay? I hope our host is alright... Bees hasnt been on in a couple days.

[SimsArtThat_SC]

Cin, I hope she's ok too. Hmm.

[Cinamun]

You know, it would be ashame for this contest to close. I really enjoyed its concept and secrecy behind the results. If Bees is unable to continue hosting it, maybe someone can take over? :(

[h3nker]

I totally agree, Cin. I'm enjoying it, too. :(

I just hope Bees is OK.
>worried<

[SimsArtThat_SC]

Now I'm really worried....does anyone know Bees well enough to send her an email? Sorry about the contest everyone, but I'm more concerned that she's alright.

[Cinamun]

Same here, this isnt like her from what I can tell. Unfortunately I dont know her email or anything, hopefully someone here does.

[zerdz]

Maybe the mods would know? I'm really worried about Bees.

[Cinamun]

Since it seems our beloved contest may be coming to an unfortunate early end, and the whereabouts of our host is unknown (We do hope she is in good health) would it be possible if the judges could post the scores for the final round we were able to finish?

Thank you.

[redwing_SC]

Cin: I don't think that's the way it works at S2C. To get some action, I think you need to contact boolpropped, and she and the other mods will wrap things up.

[waynesim]

Awwwww. it's over? it would've been nice to have had seen who would've won.

[JoeSims]

Don't think it is over just yet. Maybe Bee will come. But until then everyone has some very amazing entries!

[Cinamun]

Cin: I don't think that's the way it works at S2C. To get some action, I think you need to contact boolpropped, and she and the other mods will wrap things up.

I know the protocal on S2C, I just wondered about scores since all the judges have turned theirs in. Thank you.

And thanks JoeSims, I'd love to continue also!!

[Tyler_SC]

If Bees doesn't show up in the next day or two I'll PM a mod to see what our options would be!

[Cinamun]

Well I just PMd Boolpropped to see about just that. I suppose I should have let you do it since you're judging LOL We still have time to finish this actually, there is more than a week left before the intended deadline. We may still have a chance!

[jaela_SC]

If I can be of any help, I am willingly to do whatever may be needed to be done to either continue until the deadline or to get scores together for this round :). I hope Bee is okay. You all have done a great job!

[beeps]

Okie dokie guys... Since this contest still has over a week left, Im not going to close it quite yet. Ill give the host another 48 hours to sign back onto this site and check in with the contest to get it going again. If he doesnt check in within 48 hours, the staff will take over choosing a winner.

Thanks for your patience everyone :)

[Cinamun]

Thank you Jaela for offering and thank you bP for checking into everything!

[SimsArtThat_SC]

Something must have happened. (Hope you are ok beeskibran.... sorry for presuming you were a female...my bad)

I guess a winner can be chosen since 2 rounds were completed?

We'll all just wait and see then. :)

EDIT: I didn't mean it to be funny, Joe :eviltongu

[JoeSims]

Destin, I do believe that is the funniest apology I have heard. LOL Sorry a little OT.

[beeps]

Staff will be choosing the winners, however the winner of this contest cannot earn a star due to there not being enough completed rounds. Sorry for this mismanagement everyone.

[beeps]

Congratulations to the winners!
