Koriander- wow you really pumped it up this week! Love the angles here and proving that a girl in a dress can kick some ass! I also LOVE that one beastman in the back with mask! He's amazingly placed.
Raquelle- Damn I love that thunderball effect. It reminds me of what I tried to accomplish with my Resident Evil pic ^^. You're a bit far away, but your harsh winter background/thunder effect, along with how the beastman is set up really help bring out the shot.
Midge - I really really like this shot, and am I sucker for badass lalas. It must have been hard trying to get them to work with you and getting them into position, so props for that! Also such a kawaii little ninja :3
Sam- This shot reminds me of the Winner from the first cycle of ENTM (Valenten I think? I'm bad with names sorry ^^! I love that pose. I think you could of worked on trying to get the beastman more into the shot, but I know tha extras can be very difficult to work with. I love that you also look this at night, as the Beastman's statue thing in the back really adds to it! Dat purple glow.

Good shots everyone, it was really hard just picking 4 this week ; ; you all did super awesome!

People really love (or hate?) the Ixali!

My votes, in the order in which they appear in the album:

Brun Hilda - I love this shot. The framing, lighting, and action are fantastic. I only wish that you were more prominent in the shot, but then again, this really highlights how massive the Amalj'aa can be.
Koriander - The picture is heavy on the left but otherwise well-divided and interesting. I love that you were able to capture your casting effect so beautifully.
Midge - Although it's an interesting pose, I initially tossed your picture out because you are staring straight into the camera. However, it's such a beautifully balanced shot with lovely color contrast that I couldn't help voting for you.
Xyhr - It's an interesting shot, but you are the weakest part of it. I like your robe, stance, and overall look, but you were fading into the background even before the casting effect came into play. Still, this is a great overall shot, so you get my vote!

My critiques, for what it's worth:
Fruity Tuitie, between the steam/fog and the battle effects, too much is lost in a blurry mess. I like the background and how you were setting up the shot though.
Raquelle, I love your pose and most of the framing on your shot. Unfortunately, you are too hidden behind the sword, and the the main casting effect is too overwhelming.
Sam, I love the emphasis on you and your choice of wardrobe. The rest of the shot is lacking though, and the beastman who is central to the theme is barely making his way into your shot.
Sylvie, this is almost a great shot reminiscent of elaborate fantasy artwork, but the lighting and effects make it just a little too busy, killing some of the much-needed contrast.
