Brin'll have a big hair holo, too?
Are you gonna draw him as Furball?

Timber Wolf as Furball with an afro.

Well, I strongly considered making a Furball holo for Brin's farewell, but I went the easy route and used what I already designed.

So, you can see that Vi and Brin's holos were done "Familiar Challenges, Fresh Faces" style, and that is the idea for the next round for the Neo Holo Models. Please check back for that round -- but first, I've sketched but haven't colored the round winners' holos. That's coming soon.

I love love love that Farewell Vi holo with the pearls! That's like a whole new Violet.

Thanks, FC! I was emulating the Cockrum/Grell Vi. I've always had a fondness for their renditions (both individual and combined) of her.

So now the farewell holos and the bonus holos are posted. The next round is in production. I don't know exactly when it'll be posted.

Aww, very cute, Sketchy! I too like Vi and the pair of winners are adorable. So sweet!

Vi is fantastic! Naturally I'd like a Grell-like rendition but I never thought of her as a sultry seductress. Sketchy made her look like that, and more!

Sometimes you win by losing...that Vi farewell pic is superb.

I think that's the coolest Vi pic ever, actually.

Art Director's Confession Booth....

My plan was to do the "Familiar Challenges, Fresh Faces" round as the first round, but I only got a few of those holos done. Vi's pearl picture was one of the first ones I did. I really liked it. I appreciate the nice words about it. Thank you.

Meanwhile, I went ahead and drew all of the face close ups, so I figured I'd go ahead and use them for the first round. I tried to make Vi's facial close up look consistent with her pearl picture. Oh well....

The sketches for the Familiar Challenges are done, but only a few are colored. They're coming along.

Whew! Busy real life, ya'll!

So, I color these sketches when I get a chance, but I don't often get much of a chance. I used to work on these really late at night, but I just can't do that anymore.

So, right now I have about half of the next round colored.

... and they're posted!

Please name the male and female winners of this round. They will receive bonus holos.

Please name the male and female rejects from the competition. They will receive farewell holos.

Thank you!

DEJA VU, PART DEUX


Winners.
Dawn Allen. Hands down.
Benn Pares. Damn, sentient knows a little something about dramatic impact.

Least favorite.
Shvaughn "Jessica Rabbit" Erin. While the red-red-red aspect was intriguing...this doesn't work. Obvious pose. And what's with those WHITE gloves...in that length? Better to have skipped them and had the (Spiffany!) crystals spiralling around a wrist.
Mon-El. Stonier than Stone Boy. Nope, I'm not going to give the boring-but-OK stuff a pass while punishing risk-takers, not this time!

On notice: Stone Boy. Heed what I have just written above. Also, steer away from the Zaton Glissand. (Everyone is welcome to that bit of advice.)

Cal, I want to love your next holo.

Winners

Dawn Allen just barely beats out Calorie Queen. Both look amazing!
Ben Pares takes the high ground. I would have bet money that you couldn't make me vote for him instead of Mon-El or Stone Boy, but I guess I owe someone money...

Losers

Kid Quantum, your sister is a hottie. You, not so much.
Mystelor, like all of the girls, looked amazing. You only looked slightly less amazing than the others. Sorry!

Winners:
Ben Pare-- I it! He looks so angelic. Brilliant.
Shvaughn Erin-- She looks amazing! The red just works. Fabulously.

Out:
Calorie Queen-- I just don't like the look. Can't explain, it just really doesn't work for me.
Mon-El-- Just sort of eh. Not my style.

Other notes:
Stone Boy-- On notice. I am not a fan of this one. Only slightly better than Mon.
Mystelor-- BEAUTIFUL! Definitely a close second to Shvaughn for me.
Kid Quantum-- I like it! He's really owning the room. Such a pimp...
Dawn Allen-- Love it! Also a close second. It's so dynamic and... just... cool! Great job with the ladies this week.

Two men in the top spots this time around...

1. Mon-el. Don't know why. He looks... right.

2. Benn Pares. Love that pose, the wind in his hair. Good job.

3. Dawn Allen. That's more like it! Now that she has lost her hairspray she really looks better.

4. Mystelor. Very misterious. Love that straight black hair on her.

5. Cal. It's an OK picture, but I really prefer coloured holos.

6. Shvaughn. I really had to laugh at Teed's Jessica Rabbit comment. She's hit it right on, this is Jessica Rabbit. And that's not good.

7. Stone Boy. Just not doing it for me. I'm just bored with him.

8. Kid Quantum. Another pseudo black-and-white holo. And he just really does not look that good.

So, winners: Mon-el and Dawn Allen. Least Favourites: Shvaughn and Kid Quantum.

Farewell Dawn and Kid Quantum

Winners: Benn Pares and Mystelor

Losers: Dawn Allen and Stone Boy

Gosh! I wasn't very enchanted by Dawn, unlike other people, and thought Shvaughn looked great, all Christmassy and stuff. It's funny how different our reactions are.

I think Benn is rivaling Mekt in my affections for top bad guy!

Mon and Shvaughn stood out as my favorites.

Stone Boy and Dawn, while very nice and all.... didn't.

A little rhymey inspiration...

Mon and Shvaughn
Stone Boy and Dawn
did battle on the runway

We knew it was on
Two more would be gone
We were all having fun anyway!

I'm picking up the pace on this competition...

POLLS CLOSED! Thank you to all the participants and apologies to those who missed the voting window. I need to move on in order to have a peaceful RL schedule. I need to break a few ties...

RESULTS....

Round winners: Dawn Allen and Benn Pares!

Rejected from the competition: Shvaughn Erin and Kid Quantum!

The next round is now in production.

Mind you, I'm pulling for Dawn this round, but didn't she not only win but lose?

I like the idea that the winner can't lose too (although Chu got the space-shaft for doing both a few rounds ago) because sentients feel strongly, one way or another, about the holo....
