Eugen...
Modelhommes is back up and thank the lords of modelling because I thought I was screwed, then I found this.Julia: Eugen, you look great here. I love how the pose looks like you're actually a statue. I also like how the B/W works for this photo. I wish you were giving us a bit more of your face, but, overall, this is great! Janice: Well Hot Damn! I bet you were tickled pink with this shot Eugen! I know I sure am. I'll take one of you... in marble, and put it on my front lawn. And the model can stay in my own personal suite for the rest of his immortal life. Ohhhh yes! Mhmmmm! This great Eugen. The pose is remarkable and because of the challenge, I don't even care that I'm not seeing your handsome face. This is scrumptious. Yes indeed. Yum! Hilary: Wow, this is great Eugen! I love the pose and the pedestal - and you of course.

Andrew...Sorry I couldnt' find a full body shot that fit better than this partial shot.Janice: It's ok Andrew, that you couldn't find a full body shot of yourself looking studly and naked. Or near naked. This is still a good shot. Your face looks chiseled and defined and what I can see of your yummy pecs... they look sculpted as well. It makes me think of the Greek heads, on pedestals. It's good Andrew. Hilary: Eh, not too thrilled here, Andrew. Sorry. I would have liked a full body shot for this challenge. I can't see any pecs, Janice. You must be looking at Miro.  Julia: I like what I see here, Andrew. I think this photo sells itself, without having to see the whole photo. I like the greased down look you have and I think your expression and upper body work well to fit the theme. Overall, nice job.

Mat... Janice: Oh no Mat! I take it you don't like getting naked? OK, that's ALRIGHT... some people just aren't comfortable with that and it's fine.  But honestly, this could have worked with an explanation maybe, and besides that, you are like a shadow in the sky. I see more of your attire then I do of you. Hilary: Uhhh let me guess. You have a cape and are falling out of the sky and are therefore a God? Not quite what we were lookin' for Mat.I have no idea that's even you. First rule of modeling - we need to actually see the model.  Julia: I think the look of this photo actually works nicely, but like my fellow judges have said, I wish we could have seen you. There isn't much more I can really say about this photo. |

Travis...Julia: I can see how this kind of works. You do look very nice, shirtless. I wish you were maybe showing off more of a pose, and your expression was a bit more intense, but, this is a decent effort. Janice: This is pretty decent Travis. I like the effort that you've put into it. I wish we could see your hair pulled back for once... but if this is your signature look then I'll have to deal with it. Maybe you'll surprise me one day. I would have personally tried to crop off the lower part of this and gone for the pedestal affect... instead of an entire statue,... but it's good. Not too bad. Hilary: Travis, this isn't bad but it's not striking me as a fierce pose. I wish you were flexing that sexy body instead of just limply standing there. Oh, okay I know "limp" is not a word you guys like to hear about your body...sorry. I am just not terribly impressed here.

Evandro...He looks like a Greek God Statue on a building.Julia: I like this, Evandro. I like how you sort of blend in with the nature around you, to make it seem like you're an actual statue. I like you pose, a lot, as well. Overall, I think this is good! Janice: This is such a trivial reason to like this shot but that thing your standing on... looks like a wall and it looks so old to me and stone like. It kind of sets up that whole Greek Statue thing in my head. I wish you were a tad bit closer so I could lick you... I mean ! Gosh! I mean... so I could see the definition of your face and body better but nonetheless I like this from what I do and I do see Greek God here. Not too shabby Mister! Hilary: LOVE this Evandro. You captured exactly what I wanted. I totally picture a statue here - and your body says Greek God. Great job!

Mathais... GREEK GODS A fierce pose as a Greek God from Greek Mythology, holding a sword of death.. *The Sword of Death, A grey sword that can a kill a person if you just cut a lock of their hair off.(Greek Mythology) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mythical_objects Janice: OK, well I'm all for my history lesson.  But I don't need it at my age. I AM history in the making afterall! Well darling, I'm proud of you for taking off your shirt, because that must have taken a bit of nerve. You're such a skinny guy. Sorry... I don't mean that in a rude way, not everyone can be underwear models and not everyone can model for American Eagle either. I like the risk you took here and I like the thought you put into it. I'm not overly crazy about the shadowing going on in an already dark photo but it's not bad. Hilary: Oh dear. Well, Mathias, I can see where you were going with this and I applaud you for the effort. I don't love it, though. As Janice said, too dark. Julia: Mathais, I think the shadowing works in this photo, to an extent, and I like your pose and prop, as well. I think this is a solid effort, overall. |

Ryan...
I have to say I'm very excited what everyone would submitt for this challenge, I'm huge on Greek Gods so I can't wait to see what they say on this.
Regardless, this is a representation of Apollo, the Greek God of the Sun, Music, Poetry, the arts, Healing, Prophecies and Hunting.
He was the son of Zeus with Leto and the twin brother of Artemiss.
He, like his father Zeus, was known from having affairs with many mortals [and other deities] both male and female.
Personally Apollo is one of my favourite Gods and I can totally see a similarity between a stutue of him and this picture, hope you guys like it.Janice: OMG! Ummm... OMG! You're holding your junk there! Eeek... Alright that is very distracting. I can understand the Greeks doing that because they generally were posing nude but you are covered so the look seems almost like your giving me one of the griping your nuts... and thrust thing that men do. Oh MY!! And your hair. It's just kind of funny. I can see it totally but I can't help but think of Animal House. Hilary: Ryan, this is fantastic! Yes, I can see why you were very excited about this challenge. I agree that your hair is funny but it fits with the theme perfectly...and did I know you were that built? Wowza! Great job! Julia: I actually think your props/clothing is what helps to make this photo work. That being said, I wish your pose was a bit more exaggerated, but I like this and think it fits, nonetheless.

Miro...Julia: Miro, while this is extremely HOT, it kind of looks like a random snapshot to me of you in the shower. I'd like to be able to stretch my imagination a bit here, and, while I do think you look like the perfect, well-chiseled man, I am just having a bit of trouble connecting this photo to the theme. I'd say it's a fair effort, all-around. Janice: Mhmmmm, wow! I think I met you once in my dreams right? It is so ironic because I'm reading books that portray a bunch of immortal Greeks and so you boys have been my fantasy come true. Oh yes indeed! Now, if I look paste the shower I would say that I like this shot. I love the chiseled look of your ohhh so fine abs... I think an entire country do their laundry on that washboard stomach of yours. Mhmmmm... This is good for what you had to work with... shower and all. Hilary: Miro, let me help you ... *hands Miro a towel*.... (a very small towel). I think this is great. You obviously used what you had which was a shower shot - but the pose and body are perfect!

Good job guys! Thanks for the comments judges. By the way, Apollo's hair looked like that in his statues  But I do agree it's weird. |
