Welcome to Gaia! ::

FFFFFFF, what the heck happened to my picks D8< KEFKAAAAAA


1. 4/7- I knew this would place only because of the comedic value. It's accurate, but it's an extremely simple cosplay. I don't like those eyes, and the bikini isn't even the right color. D8

2. 6/7- Very accurate. I've seen it done very much before, but this is the cream of the crop (I don't really get that expression o_o). Some suggestions, although I don't know if they'd layer, would be a Black Strapless Bra, and I would've gone with White Stockings instead of fishnets. Pretty sure there is black lipstick too. Is she tan in the ref? I can't tell.

3. 5/7- I don't see how this Roy is better than all of the other ones. It would've been a great help if he explained that bow of fire, otherwise I'm taking off for not matching the reference. The background is a nice touch though.

4. 4/7- Starfire won back in '08. Her skirt ain't that poofy. Every Starfire cosplay I've seen scares me (I think it's the eyes D8 ). I like the arm area.

5. 4/7- There are some major flaws in this one. The skin should be orange instead of red, but I guess the person did it to match the mohawk? If he kept the red, he might as well used the Red Elf Ears. And what's with the Green Eyestripe? I see that he's associated with the Green Lantern, but that doesn't mean that his eyes should be spewing radioactivity.

6. 6.5/7- Perfect...except the eyes really look weird! Maybe it's the mouth that makes the eyes look creepy. Either way, the face bothers me.

7. 5/7- It's a spoonfed cosplay, but it's nearly perfect. I wish she used the light grey/dark white version of the hair instead of the light blue one though. I love the face, BUT WHY IS SHE WEARING SILVER LAUREL BRACELETS? That messup brought this from a 6 to a 5. With a cosplay as simple as that, there's not room to mess up.

8. 4/7- If you're going to use fanart for a ref, match it correctly. FFFF, and now I'm going to have to rate based on the art. UR WINKIN' THE WRONG WAY. She's got no skirt, so all her lady junk is flying around i ; Bracelets could be better, and the right color. I saw a better cosplay of this same character last week.

9. 3/7- Been overdone, and this is the only time I'm probably going to use the following phrase. TITS OR GTFO. There are no birds in this painting (get rid of Gift of the Goddess), and the shell is still in the water, not the sand yet. The hairstyle is totally off besides the length and color. Where's the blush? There've been too many avi's with blush, but finally someone's missing it? I seemed a bit harsh on this one, sorry. I was because I had to write an essay on this Birth of Venus D8

10. 6/7- I would've liked this to be higher. I'm sure One Piece fans would be proud of this guy. A black top hat would've been more preferable. And uhh, he's supposed to have a 'fro?

This week looks a lot better! 8D
But all of these FF cosplays are kinda getting annoying D;

1st place:
6/7: I really like the theme and the colors on this one. The eyes are creepy, but they work. The only thing I don't like is that some of the colors are off - the leviathan's grace anklets could have been left off as they really don't match.

2nd place:
5/7: I like the interpretation of the poem, and I think that it really sets the mood. The whole head looks great. I'm not fond of the horse or the sword, but I think that overall, it's a great avi.

3rd place:
2/7: No, no, no. If the color scheme is overdone, then WHY DID YOU DO IT??? I see a set, whites that don't match, and bad distribution. No.

4th place:
5/7 I like the overall colors on this one, though I do think that the head needs more pink and the feet more orange. I like how it really reminds me of the fish. One thing I really don't like is the face - there are much better options for that.

5th place:
7/7: Love it. This is an excellent use of that background, and the whole avi really matches and carries the theme. Love the description. The green glitch is too bad, but I don't think it detracts much.

6th place:
3/7: Another? There have been waaaay too many of these avis for another to win. I like the use of the mask and the will-o-the-wisp, but I think more could have been done.

7th place:
6/7: I love the idea, but I think that there could have been more done with it. I think some clutter could be taken away from the neck or added elsewhere, but it still looks great.

8th place:
2/7: Nice idea, but poorly executed. It doesn't match, the colors aren't spread around, and what's with the pearl bracelet? It just doesn't... look good.

9th place:
3/7: What is with all these poem avatars? I like some of the ideas of this one, like the legwarmers and eyes, but the bottom line is that it doesn't match worth beans.

10th place:
2/7 Bad concept, completely unoriginal. No.

gonk
I totally don't see how yours didn't place.
It was so much better than some of this weeks.
GRATS RADIANT BLISS!!!

Just throwing it out there, but if y'all want/need another rater, I'm game.
I'll do either or both if you'd like some more opinions! =D

I've got some favorites already :]
