Jungle King and ... Leung, NO! Vi. Wait! Leung. No Vi!Shit.
Star Boy and Captai Frake. Final Answer.
All you need is Love (and a whole big bucket of Money).

Vote out Lydda and. Damn. I've gotta pick one of the guys too. Be right back, after I... stare at them. For a little longer...
...Fine. Vote out Colour Kid, 'cause if he was *really* working the nerd vibe, his pants would be higher.
*crosses arms* Why d'you have to make this so difficult for me!

Vote out Vi for the girls. I liked her in the last two challenges, but this one didn't play well with her militaristic bearing, cut, physique, etc. She should have been kicking that things polyocular backside all over space.
For the boys, Jungle King has found a way to wear even less than in previous challenges, I suspect, but at least we didn't have to see it. He's run out of clothing to take off, and this is a *fashion* show, not a 'how hot I look nekkid' show... Later man, don't let the space-door hit you in the space-caboose on the way out.
As for the rest, Rond looks surprisingly good like this, Leung looks spunky and full of life and innocence, even surrounded by cash-that-walks, Star Boy wins much respect for that retro star-on-chest outfit, Captain Frake is sultry and aloof and quite lovely once again, despite the impending cometary impact on cheekbone endangering her foundation, Color Kid needs to put some darn pants on (if I didn't dislike Jungle Jim and his sartorial lack-of-spendor so much, you'd be out Kid!) and Night Girl, as always, has great hair, and I even like the dangly owl-head wrist-charm!

I'm sorry to say it, because he is a fine, fine man, but Jungle King is too much the same. Not enough unique.
And, Vi babe you bring variety, but this shot just isn't working with your hard arsed attitude. You're out, my friend.
On notice-- Star Boy, yet again. I just can't get into his look for whatever reason. And Color Kid-- I know you can do better, boy!!

Aw man, this is some of your best stuff yet. I love Rond's dazed, adorable expression (hey, if gold and platinums got to pose naked in the flowers, he could too!), and Captain Frake is once again, stunning.
But unfortunately, Jungle King's picture failed to dazzle me - the challenge wasn't a close-up, and though he had a lot of potential to take over this round (being a big player in ADV309), a profile mugshot doesn't cover it.
As for the girl... I'm going to vote Leung over Vi, because that badnass-but-sweet woman with an eye injury reminds me too much of Y: the Last Man, and I'm a sucker for BKV.

Yes, Jungle King was resting on his well-deserved laurels. He still looked good, but maybe the Chippendales of Space could use him now. Bye, King! Rond is the new heart throb.
I'll vote out Vi, although I admire her perfectly relaxed stance next the beastie. Lydda just had the edge stepping into that dark cave and the other ladies were even more stunning. Comet earrings!
Holy Cats of Egypt!

Rond and Frake are again quite amazing. And Star Boy, I really like the colouring effect on this picture, the glowing star, etc. Leung is nice, too, and very different from the way we've seen her before. Color Kid...meh. I don't know, I don't think I buy his nerdyness. Vi and Night Girl: not so great. But Vi has been so strong in past competitions that I'd really like to keep her. Jungle King...well, the picture isn't bad, but it just doesn't say much...
As for who gets eliminated, Night Girl for sure. As for the men... Jungle King (because Color Kid has been amazing in the past)

Some amazing pics! Rond is a hot-tay in his pic... love Star Boy's Wonder Pants! Captain Frake has been incredible throughout this whole competition... can I have her hair? Vi's pic has a bit of a Jim Mooney look to it, with the big eyes, but it doesn't really seem to fit with her theme in the competition so far. Night Girl is stunning! Color Kid's pic cracked me up, but that is just a hideous outfit! Eeurgh! Leung hasn't been my favorite in this competition, but this picture was very sweet. Jungle King got a little complacent for this one, didn't he?
OUT: Vi and Jungle King

Jungle King: He has a nice mischievous smirk going on there, but I agree with Set: JK's probably buck-naked, good that we're spared from seeing it, where's the clothes-modelling-aspect, go away, JK. Vi: A kinder, gentler Vi? If it's done like this, I'm all for it. She looks really sweet when she's letting her guard down for once. Rond: This is a really great picture. His eyes are striking again, and he looks so innocently surprised and nicely tousled. Leung: No matter what she does, I just love her. Dig that retro-space-uniform-chic, the jewellery and the fancy braids. Keep cheering up everyone with your sunny personality, please! Thom: He's really shiny. Hope this isn't the reason large predators are attracted to him. If I may be a bit sadistic; for that "Lookee here! Aren't I great" pose he's striking he might just deserve a bit of Borlat mauling. (Or does he know that thing's behind him and is all "Lookit my Borlat and what I taught it to do!"? That would redeem the pose.  ) Frake: Very dynamic picture. Love the background and the colouring. Frake once again looks very commanding, seductive and cool. (I have to agree that the comet jewel looks a bit as if it's hitting her on the cheek, though.) Colour Kid: Fun! The nerd couture outfit isn't conventionally fashionable, yes, but his entry really made me smile, especially because he looks so grim and scary (probably can't help himself with those eyes) while doing and wearing something rather unthreathening. Or do those equations drive you insane? Someone take that pencil away from CK before he stabs somebody with it. Lydda: Her hair is overwhelming her head a bit this time. The bracelet is nice, but there's just something missing here. Reject Jungle King (hmm... did he sic that Borlat on Star Boy? If he's been trying to sabotage competitors he doubly deserves to be voted out) and Lydda.

OK Dean, I'm finally here! I apologize for my limited involvement up until now, but I've spent all morning getting caught up!  . As always, I'm blown away by your talents, and you've really outdone yourself. The Tinya on page 2 was simply amazing. As for the current contestants: vote out Jungle King and Star Boy! My surprise faves are turning out to be Captain Frake and Color Kid, although I have a serious soft-spot for a Sketch Lad depicted Night Girl!

Again, excellent drawings by Dean.
I don't have time for a detailed analysis today. So stright to my rejects.
Jungle King - because it looked like just another headshot. Where is his background.
Shrinking Violet - Again, just a headshot. (And I never liked the scar.
I really liked Night Girl & Captain Frake. And Leung with the living money was great. Didn't like the nerdy Color Kid, but like the headshot Jungle King less.
Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

Whew! What fun!
Okay, the current standings on who should go....
Women: Vi 8 votes Lydda 3 Leung 2 Frake 1
Men: Jungle King 9 votes Star Boy 3 Color Kid 2
Attention Cobie, I'm really glad you're here, but I did not count your votes because I need 1 male and 1 female. You may re-cast your vote, of course. The polls remain open for a while longer. (Though it's looking kinda clear who'll be out.) I have a few other things to do before the next challenge, so we'll wait and see how it goes....

Interesting, it's the sentients with the L* flight rings that are the ones getting their walking papers.

Going with the consensus, here: nothing out-and-out bad, JK and Vi are the least interesting this round, vote off Jungle King and Vi.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!" They're B.B. and The Brain ...

Even if I wait for Cobie's new vote, I don't think the results will change.
Polls closed!
Thank you all for voting. I will post some Art Director's Notes soon...

Believe it or not, I was able to do almost all of the pencilling and writing for the next challenge!
I thought I'd catch up on my AD's notes....
Fur and Leather Challenge. First of all, I had intended on the challenge being a "leather straps and bits of fur" challenge. I did a sketch of Tinya dressed that way, then Jungle King. Those were fine, hot even. Then, I did the sketch of Star Boy as it appears and I liked the full coat. Hmm.... Leung in straps and bits. Can't do it. Put her in a collar and jacket. Superboy in straps and bits. Okay, NO! This idea is over! That's when things turned out the way they did.
I would have rejected Frake. I loved the way Vi looked, even with the whimsical fur on her shoulders. I actually wish I would have put Tinya in the giant furry hat and gloves in a leather bikini! I wonder if that would have been better or worse? I thought Lydda looked really pretty.
Jungle King was clearly being Jungle King. I got a kick out of my own idea for Color Kid. I was going for "handsome" if conservative for Rond.
I had a very good time doing the fur and leather challenge.

I was thinking the right bikini might work with the hat too, even though I thought her dress needed more fabric. It's the balance of skin and adornment, I suppose, where wild proportions can be excellent if they hit right. It's subjective, though. Speaking of subjective: either way, it's probably a good thing Winema wasn't there for the judging. Also, let me state for the space-record that I never ever want to see Superboy in anything remotely resembling "straps and bits".
