    Susylu - Nice composition. The bubble looks very cool, like a big natural throne. Only downside is the way her face was covered, if only the angle was a little different it would have be perfect.

    Crystalynnex - You were the only one in my opinion that pulled off the "Queen" look; the dress worked, the setting and the stance translated into a very nice shot! You were top in my list :)

    Dorset- personaly this shot didnt work for me. i think its because it hardly showed your char! brilliant concept but like i said it would have been perfect if you can see her face. nice fashion though.

    Susylu - It was a hard one to pull off, and the story you submitted with it was great. Outfit choice was also great, screenshot, excellent. Only downside is that without the little description I'm not sure I would have understood it if someone asked me which queen it was.

    Crystalynnex - I love this picture, it's a really pretty shot, the colours are wonderful. It exudes a dreamy effect. I can feel a bit of queen, but I couldn't tell it was a Queen of Dreams, even with the description (thumbs up for the description though, well composed imo). Good job however! I'd love it as a wallpaper! xD

    Dorset- i think you did a brilliant job with the story you submitted but i agree with su without the description it would be unclear which queen you represented

    Susylu - This is actually one of my top three. The background could have used something else (or maybe just snow coming down) and could have been a tad brighter... but I really do get the sense of her being one with the snow.

    Cryatalynnex - The background looked a bit.. lopsided to me, it's the slope on the right i think, and the mob kind of threw it off. But it did match your description and the element well. Though maybe a more scenic background would've propelled you to the top. (But you did have time constraints, so grats on pulling this one off so soon)

    Dorset- Great pic. a little unimaginative but i like how you used your wings to great effect here and i know your time was limited. good job



    16032e.png

    Susylu - Highly active shot, nice working with heaven's flame for the dragons effect. If only the timing/angle was a little different so that the dragons were positioned better, I think it would have been easily one of my top favorites.

    Crystalynnex - I like the heaven's flame bit on there; looks like she was summoning a minion of sorts. II like the vibrancy of the colours, though it seemed you weren't the focus of this shot; the dragon kinda outshone you and you became part of the background instead. And the angle was a bit off imo. Otherwise, it was well composed.

    Dorset- this was actually in the top two of my choices and i love it a lot. if you cant get into hell its pretty hard to find good lava shots so bravo. i love how you used the heavens flame to great effect and showed the red mist coming off the lava. its like your char is summoning a dragon from the lava.

    Susylu - You have a good eye for scenery, but this time you weren't involved in it. I had thought Earth also meant like literal earth and dirt, but your take on it as the grass and trees was surprising and great... its just it doesn't speak to me as much as your last entry.

    Crystalynnex - Nice background, good angle and colours, but you just standing there makes me go "hmm?" It's quite a dull shot action-wise, but everything else works nicely. I hope you can pull something off more creatively next time :)

    Dorset- its a beautiful shot but it didnt say Queen of Earth to me ...i think because like su said i also had thought of cracked earth and rock instead of trees. still an amazing shot and you show great talent with screenshots but next time maybe think a bit more into it liek yoru first shot.

    Susylu - If this wasn't a Queen challenge, I'd say your entry has a very classical feel to it and is a lovely shot. In terms of the challenge, she seems too far from the moon to be the Queen of it, and the picture itself seems lonely - but not lonely because she's the Moon Queen (most moon queens are said to be lonely/cold) but because she seems detached from it without the light which I personally associate with the moon, especially the full moon.

    Crystalynnex - This would be quite a nice shot, if it wasn't entitled "Queen of the Moon". There wasn't a sort of connection between her and the moon that I would've liked to see, nor much energy in this shot. She gives more of a heartbroken aura than a queen one. It's pretty overall as a shot though so good work!

    Dorset- pretty shot but i feel its a little unimaginative. it looks more romantic than queenly. it kinda made me giggle cause when i first looked at it your genie looked like some sort of crown


    55lbp.png

    Susylu - The only reason I didn't place your entry higher is because it didn't relate to me as the Element you were given. The screenshot itself is great, the colors are vibrant and beautiful, the pose and bubble work well. Queen of Water, Queen of Mystery - Yes. Queen of Heavenly Night - not sure. I think in this sense you were too creative for my understanding xD

    Crystalynnex - Your description was actually my first reaction. I didn't get it at all. It probably would've made a nice entry for Queen of the Water, but for Heavenly Night... Not really =S I love the colours though; they're really bright and full of energy. My advice for you (and I hope you do take it), stop thinking into it too much and over-analyzing, I think that's when things would start to go South. You try so hard though and I know you can do better, so don't fail me! D: It's good to think outside of the box, but sometimes being inside the box will get you farther.

    Dorset- i was dissapointed in your screenshot this week. its a wonderful shot for queen of WATER but where queen of night is concerned i didnt get it. i love the dress but the background does not say queen of heavenly night to me at all. theres not much i can say that hasnt already been mentioned by the girls.



    Next week will be the beginning of a whole new challenge so refresh your minds and come back well prepared! Someone will be disqualified next week, so you better make sure it isn't going to be you!

    Firstly, xxdistance, well done! Certainly very clever. I forgot the little wind mills existed until now. XD

    Secondly, Temara's shot is driving me nuts. I agree with Susy with it having a classical-feel to it and I like it, too. But omg, that moon-

    DOES NO ONE ELSE EVER SEE THE SEAL IN IT? XDXD

    (and excuse the whiskers missing on one side...xD was something old I dug up that I'm too lazy to fix)

    Anywho, .-. Queen of Dreams was hard and without the story thing, I don't think my screenie would have been understood. It was tempting to send in a wayy older screenshot that would have probably showed it better but o.< it is a challenge afterall and getting new ones is a challenge indeed. xD

    I do wanna share a screenie that was kinda cool in my books. Probably would have sent this one too but you could exactly see Yana in it...and you'll see why:

    Btw, great job everyone and can't wait for next week! <3

    I love that shot! I actually do see a queen of dreams thing going on there although you're right can't tell if its you xD

    Yaaaay, second place again. At least I'm consistant. lol

    One thing I noticed about tb skills is that they glitch the game... a lot... there were a few shots where my hair glitched off my head and stayed back a few feet from where it should be, or I looked like I had 2 faces x_x

    I really wanted to use this shot but there were 0 bubbles... so it barely looked like she was underwater...

    oh wow thats awesome, i didnt pick the lighting one for myself as well, it didnt seem to go with snow and ice, but to me it helps pull the Queen bit into the picture, making you powerful ya know?

    but i love that picture its just wow

    Actually, the first blooper would have been a good choice IMO for heavenly night. Just seems so... serene to me. b:shutup

    The first one would've made a really good entry imo xD and I personally wouldn't take game glitches into account when I give a rating, so it would've been pretty high up in my list x3

    Ah well, next week is a new challenge so good luck on that! :)
