With regards to Cig's clown, what ever happened to them hating external teeth? It was scary, but I also feel like my eyes slip off of it; there's a lot going on and it might've taken the win if he self-edited a bit to give a real strong focal point. vs.  is no contest for me and I was glad to see Sasha redeem herself a bit.

I think in the example of Cig's clown the external teeth are done in a way that fits with the anatomy he modelled. The soft tissues on the face are supposed to have rotted away (nose, lips) so it stands to reason that the teeth would be on the outside. The problem comes when people do it in a way which makes no sense, like coming out of the side of a cheek.

Yeah, Cig's was meant to be a drowned clown and it completely looks the part. I wasn't crazy on it at first blush but the more I've seen of it the more I like it. Sasha's doll though, was also out of the park in terms of paint job. That thing was going to live and die by its colors and she clearly put the work in to make it all pop. Despite her.... eccentricities I really love that Sasha's greatest strength so far seems to be in figuring out tough paint textures, like the birch tree man. It honestly makes the way she screwed up the veins on that serial killer makeup all the more baffling, especially since she y'know, has a tablet on-hand and could just look up the drat anatomy.

Didn't she paint those veins in during the final few seconds of last looks or something? She was probably flustered as all hell.

Yeah I was a bit surprised that Dina didn't get top looks but Cig and Drew just totally nailed their application. I guess Rachael and George's terrible applications also bumped Sasha up into the "Missed the point but definitely not in the bottom" safe zone.

What the heck was Sasha thinking where cyclops = many eyes??? It literally makes zero sense. And the eyes she did create didn't even look like eyes they looked like dark masses. And I'm pretty sure she did that overall sculpt before. Madness. Cake Boss's was a neat character but I'm glad Drew finally got a win. George's was real bad. I was a bit surprised he wasn't gone.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Didn't she paint those veins in during the final few seconds of last looks or something? She was probably flustered as all hell. Nah she was doing them on Day 3 way before last looks. Yeah she was flustered because frankly a strong wind seems to fluster this girl in spite of her obvious skill and talent, but she definitely could have pulled some reference material unless there's some weird arcane rule we don't know about. QuickbreathFinisher posted:Not even just that, it lacked anything to make it look like a faun. I must have missed it, why did she not end up using the horns? Without them it was just a pissed off cheerleader burn victim. She said the horns were too heavy and were going to fall. When she said that I immediately screamed "YOU FOOL" because without the horns her concept was way too subtle to read as faun, and between that and the lackluster application it makes sense she would go home. Honestly though I was still surprised George made it through. His was so badly executed, and I was genuinely disappointed because he seemed to so thoroughly be on-point with his concept during sculpting/molding. Overall this was a good week though. Definitely a "wheat from the chaff" kind-of challenge because just about any idiot can conceptually mash two stereotypes together and thus it all came down to the execution. I was also thoroughly impressed by Drew's emo faun, although Cig has definitely emerged as the strongest week-to-week contender this season.

The base idea of the challenge of "Merge a classic mythological creature with a high school stereotype you'd never expect them to fall into" was a good one since it gave us stuff like a minotaur nerd, a dumb goblin who'd somehow ended up a geek and a happy lively faun who'd gone emo. The goblin jock was the flipside of the minotaur nerd since one was mixing a muscular mythological creature with a wimpy human stereotype and the other was a small wimpy mythological creature mixed with a large muscular human stereotype but Cig lucked out because minotaurs don't have to be hugely muscular and nerds don't have to be tiny so the concepts could be merged without too much difficulty. George was fuckin' robbed because goblins pretty much have to be tiny and weak and jocks pretty much have to be big and strong and he had to somehow come up with a character that was both at the same time. His options were to create a little scrawny character which was somehow a jock or create a giant muscular goblin that didn't turn into an orc or an ogre or something in the middle that was vaguely goblin-ish and jock-ish. The bland middle route was the only safe option but George missed it and he was hosed right from the start. It was really obvious at the end that he never nailed down the concept so his sculpt and his application both felt halfhearted and rudderless.

Rachel also thought for some reason that she could attach her horns to the wig. There's no way a wig could support much weight at all, plus it would end up looking like Nicole's terrible space werewolf with ears glued to fun fur. Drew is choosing a good time to peak. I've been really impressed with his application

I'd say Drew would probably not be safe if he had a spider-clown again, and I feel like he's had more of those than his emo faun this whole season.

That's because Cig is far and away the front-runner to win the season and everyone knows it. The rest is just keeping the game of musical chairs going until and unless either Cig messes up or someone else seriously steps up their game. Drew is closest so far but then again Spider-Clown was truly terrible.

I think the big dumb goblin jock could have worked if he went a little further with it- make it look like a full-on Tolkien orc. Big tusky teeth, big ears, etc. And the sculpting could have been much more detailed.

The costuming was just so lazy. Some badass deathmetal GWAR shoulder pads, midriff jersey displaying goblin abs, or feet busting out of shoes would have given us a distraction from the CGI mask thing he had going on. Hell there wasn't even scraggly hair or crazy eyebrows.

Unless she really screws up in the next three weeks, she should end up in the final.

Oh I think she'll make it far, but she's not mature enough as an artist (or a functioning adult it seems) to win the whole thing unless the producers/judges want to go for the raw entertainment factor. Don't get me wrong I like Sasha and her work, and think that in a decade with some grit and luck she'll be a major player in the makeup field (I still can't get over how good that birch tree paint job was), but she screws up too hard and too frequent to be the winner unless she goes on an unbreakable hot streak from the next episode onwards. E-- \/ \/ \/ \/ I don't know I feel it's a race between Cake Boss and Drew for the third slot in the finale, now that Drew is finding his groove. I like Stella a lot but she puts out consistently "mediocre" work. I'd expect to see her and George knock off in the next two weeks barring someone making a true trash makeup. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Oct 4, 2014 |

Sasha would really benefit from like a sculpting mentor. I don't think she'll win, though. Barring an upset, it's Cig, Cake Boss, and Sasha in the finale. Drew and Stella just haven't had the wins. George is on thin ice.
