Aw, man, may or may not be able to make it. Usually my Sundays are open, but I have something going on that day. Hoping everything will work out and I can stop by, for a bit, tho'!

I hope this isn't taken wrong.. I'm posting this to answer points that our beautiful judges mentioned; I only mean to let them know that I've looked at what they said and considered how to put their feedback to use in the future.

Adam - I was originally going to use the Garlean set but after an hour of waiting for someone to join my party finder and a couple tells letting me know that basically everyone threw their set out I moved on to creating something that could pass as Garlean armor. What I settled on was supposed to look like what Garlean soldiers another rank or so higher than the grunts we see would wear, perhaps styled to suit the legion they would normally be serving in (I pretended they were people that came along with my Legatus.) I agree about the sky; by the time I got those four on the scene and dressed and all it was super late and I had to take what I could get. I was hoping it being a solid color could keep if from adding clutter. If I did the shot again I'd like a stormy sky! > Thanks for the feedback!

Adeline - I'm delighted to dazzle you any time!!! <3 Same as what I told Adam; apparently I'm in the minority of glamour hoarders. XD

Flare - Thank you! That wall was pretty ugly, eh? In response to the earlier fanvotes mentioning this I went back to the scene of the crime to confirm that the issue was what I proposed with my sleep-deprived brain. It was indeed an issue stemming from the /cpose that I chose; he actually ends up off-center after he shifts. So lining him up with the background meant not lining up with the foreground. I will keep this in mind in the future when choosing poses. OwO

Sakuraya - Yes, we have delicious badguys cookies! You perfectly got my concept! TwT <3 You do indeed read a smirk! I knew I was coming in with very little skin showing due to my keeping with (what I percieved as) Garlean Superior Officer dress so I threw in a sadistic smirk. >w< Off-center issue addressed above. OuO> Thank you so much for perfectly getting what I was going for!!!!!

Thank you judges for your time and expertise! <3

Rhaya-chan! You brought up a ton of good points! I actually did something similar to what you proposed but when compared to what I submitted it completely lacked impact, my character had very little presence. Plus, facing away from the building I couldn't capitalize on the gloriously evil red glow. The angle: I settled on this particular angle because to me it gave the impression of imminent doom, a looming storm cloud, a powerful leader drowning you in his presence-while still showing the extras. The helmet was a necessary evil to make the character plausible as a high ranking Garlean officer in my opinion. Thank you for your feedback. OwO

The alternate shot (not further forward because of the dang enemy that spawns there):

TAT XDDDDD

I liked your pic for what its worth! ^_^ Both are great, the one submitted and this alternate!

XD Every way I look at that one I seem so tiny and unimportant at the back... Looks like this is a case of where a mentor would have helped.
