[Shini_Neko]

Girls:
Sakuraya: ...command that thing to do you bidding. Looks like someone really ticked you off on the other side of that camera!

Rhaya: Where to start! The colors are amazing and I love the tendrils creeping all over. It seems to me like you summoned that great beast to get at someone...hopefully not me though!

Iris:...if I was a lalafell, I'd be scared of that monster too <3



Men:
Adam: So this might be the wrong time to give you this advice...but stop drop and roll or you're getting your head cleaved! I could have done with a little bit more eerie lighting though.

Marik: I'm torn between thinking you're a summon or they're raising you up to be literally torn apart.

Jinx:Looks like you've got something ghostly coming in that window. Sends a shiver down my spine.

I'm back with critiques for everyone

Male
4. Flare Anderfel: You had the reverse of Adam's problem: You are interesting, while the background is doing nothing. I had to give it to Adam because the threat of being attacked by that Succubus made for a more interesting picture.
5. Jinx Fireboot: Your setting is lovely but you are so tiny in this grandiose picture. The staff does help bring my eye to you but I'm focusing way too much on the staff versus you. I also wish I could see what you're fearfully looking over your shoulder at.
6. Epsil Ion: Your use of Holy as an effect is nice but I don't see what the narrative of this picture is. Also, the angle of your face is awkward. >x>()

Female
4. Adeline Urusa: Interesting pose and lighting and very flattering angles. This picture doesn't have as much of a story to tell as the others but it is visually lovely.
5. Rhaya Relanah: Another picturesque picture versus storytelling. I love the effect you're using and the shadows it's casting on you and I love the movement in your skirt. If only it wasn't for that floating, monster head... >A>()
6. Kaiyoko Star: This isn't a bad picture. Your pose and expression are good. However, I wish you're lighting was better and that we could see more of the Ahriman.

My top 3 for each gender, listed in the order they appeared in the album (alphabetically):

Women:
Eirwen Mackenzie - Those claws! I felt like this one was the creepiest of all the submissions this week. I may have nightmares tonight.
Iris Dawnshade - I felt like this one was the best overall this week. The composition, lighting, and expression are wonderful. Also, that looks like blood smeared on your face. Not sure if that's intentional or how you pulled it off, but it's great.
Rhaya Relanah - I'd like to submit this to SE. You need to be a boss in Haukke Manor Extreme Mode. You look like you are summoning and controlling Valefor himself.

Men:
Aiden Weaver - The overall composition here wasn't great, but you pulled off being creepy. There's a real feeling of suspense and tension here.
Jinx Fireboot - Not really sure what's going on here, but you look like you're being possessed. The pose and the environment creeped me out.
Marik Destiel - Your loyal servants seem to be summoning you here. I'm expecting Urianger to contact me via linkpearl any time now to warn me of a new aetheric disturbance.


This was a tough week. In the end, I voted for what I felt stuck closest to the theme (whatever was creepiest). There were some great shots that I felt just weren't creepy at all, so you lost my vote. Sorry!
