The judges' comments were enjoyable as usual. I love how the entire contest is almost like a story and things happen with the judges too.
My vote goes to Dawnstar. While the jewel reminded me of the star beautiful Dawny had on her forehead in days long past (but never forgotten)it didn't "feel" like Dawnstar, and the rest of the contestants looked much more comfortable.
Lydda is incredible! What a lady! A real gorgeous diva! I'm sure the Emerald Empress would agree if she were a judge!
Tal is a doll! She never seemed like a shy girl to me, but here she is definitely happy but a bit shy, a bit embarrassed which makes her even cuter. Exquisite!
Jacques as Jughead? Well, he seems relaxed and enjoying himself. He gives me the impression he's laughing inside. Nice.

Night Girl-- I agree that it's a bit too much, but I think it still works.
Gas Girl-- She, however, could have gone with a bit more than just the earrings. It also looks like the camera caught her before she was quite ready.
Dawnstar-- The look on her face is actually a bit weird, and I think the jewel is kind of distracting. I guess it's just a kind of weird choice to have attention focused on your forehead of all of you assets.
Jacques-- I kept think he didn't quite look like himself, but I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it's the Jughead comparison.
Reject: Gas Girl.

Heh. When I first saw Tal's gaseous "hair" back in the 80s I had thought it was some strange fashion fad. Like an extreme 30th century equivalent of a new wave/Cyndi Lauper/Sinead O'Connor 'do.
Still can't shake that impression, but I like it anyway, especially in a close-up sketch like this one!

Huh. I really liked that challenge. I feel like Dawny and Gas Girl's expressions didn't quite match up with this challenge. And Lydda had a bit more 'bling' than necessary...
But I feel like Jaques was just sort of there. No spark. No magic. Nothing special about his image or jewelry. And I do realize it's a bit harder with a guy but still.
IK2 gets my vote out.

Lydda, as always, owns my heart. And any other part of me she wants to claim.
While Lydda went 'heavy' on the jewels, Gas Girl went completely minimal, and it really worked for her.
Dawnstar also favored a minimalist look, and I really love the crystal / stained-glass look to that star on her forehead. Beautiful.
IK2. Man, disappear already vanishing boy.

It's fun to have the judges back. Seriously, I start out just expecting them to judge the contest, and some kind of muse comes along and gets me going on their sub-plots! I had NO idea Marte was going to have such an emotional reaction to Gim's elimination. I had no idea she was going to turn to glass. I had no idea she was going to shatter!
She is trying to pull off the regal look, but looks like she is sucking a lemon. I do like her jewel.
Night Girl choose the right color jewel to suit her. But I don't see Lyddia with long fingernails.
Gas Girl looks sophisticated and sulty.
Invisible Kid II looked like he was having fun playing King.

I vote out IK2. He looks like a frat boy who's been raiding the costume department at the local college's theater.
Gas Girl was my favorite of this round-- though I loved Dawny's jeweled forehead piece (does a piece of jewelry worn there have an actual name?) and loved even more the detail in her eyes, something about her face was off, for me. I'm not sure what.
Who knew Lydda was such a ham? Guess the choice of a bouffant hair-do in the 31st century should've been a clue.
Poor Marte! I hope she appears whole and hale before the competition's over. I guess now the rumors about her falling to pieces during times of stress while president can be confirmed. Is this a sort of negative super-power, one she gained when kidnapped all those years ago?

Isn't it strange and thrilling when they do that? I've felt it when writing my stories and novel(s). It's like the characters have a mind and life of their own regardless of what the "author" has in store for them, and they just do what *they* want!
That's one reason, among many, why I'm enjoying these contests so much. The unexpected can happen either *in* the contest itself, or through the judges!
