Oh my! ♥
Been so busy the past few days, so I haven't even started on the next round @_@ however this post will be about the current one :3
In the beginning I had a completely different concept in mind, but thinking about it, I wanted to make something that fit in with the setting, (though I'll probably never look truly NPC-ish with my skin-colour). There were so many invisible barriers everywhere, which added to the difficulty of the shot (I was really excited to see how some people worked around those!) and it took some time to come up with an idea that would work. Eventually I decided on working out front rather than in the kitchen, and went and switched GC's in order to get access to the gear that matched the Bismarck's waitress uniform best (the exact hat wasn't possible! T_T) and dyed the rest as close as I could.
At first I was ready to go with this idea, and tried to choose between these two shots:

With how uncertain I've felt with the past couple of rounds, I wanted options, so I decided not to give up on one of my other ideas. Working with macros, motions, targeting, lockon, and some really quick and tricky timing, I finally managed to use one of the first places that gave me inspiration. So much frustration, and such a feeling of elation when I figured it out XD
I took a lot of shots as usual, and this one was my pick for about twenty minutes before I chose the one I submitted:

The lighting is a little more blue there, but I fell for having the CUL symbol in the background lit up on my final pick, and switched it out.
This was also a close contender, but the lighting was a shade darker:

I went through a range of emotes when trying to find the right one:

The clipping in most angles was just terrible:

Shooting in a frequently visited area, even when trying to do it really late at night, you'd expect some photo bombing, but...

Okay, that's enough from me - back to regular business! XD
