By day a mild-mannered college professor, by night Kiki, go-go dancer at the Pussycat Club. But twice a year, he's... CAPTAIN EQUINOX!
At first I wasn't that impressed with George's sculpt, but that paint job he put on it totally brought it to life. A well-deserved win.
And Tyler's was just the opposite, it started out great but then he kept adding to it and covering up the cool design. And the moss pajamas didn't help.
Surprised to see Cat go, I was sure Niko was getting the boot this week.

Niko was probably spared because he was the winner of a spotlight challenge that blew them all away earlier, while Kat hadn't shown off anything amazing.

The right makeup definitely won. I guess Tyler's succeeded in looking like a tree, but not exactly a "tree wizard"; it looked like a literal stump with a face.

That halfassed Robocop wizard should have gone; there was literally no redeeming quality to it.

That was my thought too. Based only on this week Niko was the obvious boot, but it's pretty clear that at this point the judges are also weighting their entire body of work at this point in deciding who to eliminate.

I wonder how much Matt (and maybe Tess) is kicking himself for not lasting long enough to go to Japan.

I think you just pin-pointed exactly why I hated Matt on sight. I bet you the face-off crew is only going to film stuff that furthers the myth that Japan is just like an anime, too.

Yeah. That was pretty awesome. But at least George always makes two masks. We've seen him do that in at least one other episode. That paint job was amazing. On one with safety-pinned teeth, I can't figure out why the judges were so impressed. Yeah, maybe they've never seen it done, but it looked loving stupid, imo. Chloe's looked like it was wearing a beard and I don't understand how she looked at her wand, saw the filigree, then decided to just make swirls all over the place that had nothing to do with the design of the filigree. Darren used another terrible wig. I would love it if he got called out over his choice of wigs at some point. Don't people usually style them to go with the costume instead of just pulling them out of a bag and hastily slapping them on the model?

This was my initial thought too, like as soon as the lights came up and they showed her closeup my first reaction was "wow that's a beard." I was pretty surprised none of the judges nailed her on it.

They put them up slowly on their website (& Hulu) for free (episodes 1&2 are up now), but the rest you have to sign in with your TV credentials.

quote:

The last five episodes to air on Syfy are available 30 days on Hulu.com after they air on TV. Episodes may vary based on on-air schedule.

So they go up eventually.

This is it, guys. The episode we've been waiting for all season.

Episode 8: "Ego Trip Abroad"
Airdate: March 4, 2014
After a trip overseas to Japan, the artists must create a real world anime character based on their Alter Egos


Haaaa, that's even better than I expected. I'm expecting some awesome stuff and a few complete trainwrecks.
Matt will be sitting at home watching this and crying bitter weeaboo tears. :haw:


Rashaad and Graham are the only contestants left who haven't won an episode but they're also the only guys who've never been in bottom looks so they'll probably hang in there for a while. Tyler and George are going really strong after slow starts, Daran and Niko have been struggling lately.
I'm predicting that Niko will fall apart without his girlfriend around and crap out this episode. I'm guessing from the Facebook link earlier in the thread that Rashaad might be a fan of this genre so it might be his time to shine.

I could have sworn Rashaad won the first or second episode, but it was Chloe. But, yes, this is going to be deliciously painful.

You beat me to my edit. I still think it's because of Anthony's season. Like, he won the first 3 times and then the judges had to start pretending he wasn't awesome. They learned from that and are trying to make this season more dramatic. Has any of Rashaad's work not been polished. I've liked several other artist's pieces as much as I've liked his, but his are consistently excellent.

I also dislike Chloe for some reason, which might be why, in my head, Rashaad won the first challenge.

He was paired with Chloe for the "Beauty and the Beast" challenge in the first episode and they were the winning team but Chloe was the overall winner. He's been in Top Looks four times but so far he's always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Probably. Derren's was pretty hideous, IMO. Corinne should win this one since it seems that the paint job is what he's most concerned with. It'd be cool to see Corinne go balls-to-the-wall crazy. Don't know if she's capable of it tho.

Oh god! The one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater was adorable in the still ads I saw, but seeing it in action...D'aww.

Yesss! They're showing us their crappy drawings!

Graham's sounds retarded. Of course Corinne's and Chloe's look the same. They're anime style.
