    Argon!!! "Old" friend, good to see your barbarian Avatar once more after so long. I was hoping that you'd surface given that I know you, too, enjoy "Face Off."

    Yeah, I like Laura... Happy Sure, she's cute an' all, but she is also highly talented, too. I am glad this show is continuing on, and it seems there's another type of program that follows called "Heroes of CosPlay." Did you likewise watch that?

    glad to see you still 'round,

    Only caught half of the second episode (Frankenstein theme) and, overall, agreed with the judges' thoughts. Looking forward to more talent for this season.

    I've been watching both. Still need to see last weeks episode. Though Roy and Laura are working their creative magic. I still was hoping Eric Fox made it onto the show this year. I think he showed a lot of promise and could easily contend with this group.

    Looking forward to tonight's episode featuring Mother Nature concepts. Last season they had a similar challenge with mountains, lava, forest, etc. and it was really neat. Kinda reminds me of some of the kits and branches for druids in the Complete Book of Druids.

    Well I really like Roy's, Miranda, and Laura's work this week. Miranda is really strong. She is the female Anthony this season. When you finally see it then I can elaborate more.

    Saw it. Glad that my dear, sweet Laura won. Cool
    Sorry to see poor RJ leave, but I agree his was pretty 'out there' and not in sync with the theme. Sometimes that works out, but he knew he was taking a chance. Sadly, it didn't work this time.

    Share your thoughts at will.

    Laura won! I knew that would make you happy. RJ definitely fell short this week. I knew he was going home. He got so focused on what he did the last time. That he could not think about doing it in a different version.

    I thought they're were three potential winners and Laura's paint job put her over the top. Lets see what happens next week.

    Laura is clearly a very talented person, blending great design with amazing painting skills. Her recent win with her "cubism" painting make-up was nothing short of stellar. She continues to remain my favorite contender.

    Lanthorn,

    I think Laura has stepped her game up. This season shes hitting on all four cylinders. Her cubism was easily one of the best designs and makeup on the show. It looked like the guy stepped out of a stained glass window.

    Lets see what happens next week.

    Yeah, I think that she's easily the most talented person on the show (though I really liked Rayce, too, in earlier seasons). I am predicting a showdown between Laura and Tate (who is no slouch in his own right, and is very much a top contender).

    I liked Tyler's and Rashad's the best. I won't say much more because I know your on a delay with the Face off updates. Awaiting your take. Though I definitely want to create a tar breathing Dragon now.

    Argon, I am beginning to wonder if anyone else besides the two of us are following this show... Wink

    I agree with the judges that Daniel's (I think that is his name) creation lacked draconic elements and failed to fulfill the challenge.

    I liked the vulture-dragon concept, the Oriental dragon design, and the hulking tar-spewing dragon (which I think won, if memory serves).

    Keep posting, Argon, cuz without you it's just a one man monologue! Sad

    until next time,

    No Tyler's Vulture inspired frost dragon won. I liked it, but preferred the Tar spewing Dragon that Rashad made. I did not care for the oriental dragon. it was poorly painted IMHO and it was very easy to see where the seams where on the piece. It was also very power ranger-ish IMO as well. Daniel's was tragic. It looked like an Drunken Vietnamese sea creature.

    Argon (and anyone else currently following not only this show, but this thread, too),

    What did you think of the "Shadow Challenge?"

    I didn't mind the minotaur eclipsing the goblin at all, and thought both were meritorious in their own respects.

    I thought they let the best one be safe. Tyler's was the best IMHO. The Minotaur was fine. I just thought Tyler did an excellent job this week. I don't know the judges seem to be a bit off this season. Though Grahams was pretty good as well.

    This week I preferred Niko's magnetism inspired work over Tyler's web crawling themed creation. Though Tyler is a very strong fabricator and has been great each week.

    What are your thoughts?

    OK, saw an episode with the Robot theme and know that Rashaad won that challenge. Then last night's was on Vampires, and Rashaad won that challenge as well. The man is on fire! He surely has talent. I think either he or Tyler will win this season.

    Lanthorn,

    Its down to Tyler or Rashaad. Niko has coasted by and will be going home this week. George Tyler and Rashaad will be in the final. George has an outside chance. My money is on Rashaad or Tyler.

    Tyler better get back to where he was or it will be game over for him.

    I really enjoyed last night's episode of the "Judge Challenge" and thought, for sure, that Team Glenn (with Laura!) would crush the other two. Boy, was I surprised, when Team Neville took it. I thought that his characters were the least well done. Shows what I (don't) know. Confused

    I am really surprised that the sloth monster wasn't axed instead of the squid creature. I thought the sloth should've had fur and he took the quick and easy path out of what should've been a quintessential part of the creature make-up and design.

    Now only three contestants remain...

    Lanthorn, I was on the fence about the sloth and the squid. Overall I can see why they chose the sloth over the squid. I think Drew showed more consistency then George did over the past few weeks. However, its between Dina and Cig for the title. Both have made some of the best characters on the show. I was happy with the mantis win but felt the yeti-crab could of won the challenge as well.

    We'll see next week.

    Rayce, Anthony, and Laura each have a team of five contestants that is part of their team. They are to mentor the contestants in fabrication and make up. They are not making anything themselves.

    Argon (and anyone else who follows this thread),

    Not sure what I think of the new line-up for this season. I am indeed very happy to see both Laura and Rayce as team leaders. I only caught the last bit of yesterday's episode, but wasn't terribly impressed with most of what I saw. Maybe I've been spoiled with previous talent. The challenge also didn't seem very cohesive...aliens with an ape leader? Very disjointed in my mind.

    I switched my gaming day and so FINALLY caught an episode, last night's "Troll Bridge" challenge.

    I agree with the winner (Jamie, I think her name was) but did not agree with their choice of the loser. I think the person who should've gone home was the gal who didn't even address the challenge itself and failed to make a troll character. Her paint job was lovely, but that was about it.

    Interesting challenge this week (Super-hero theme, but the contestants were the models!). I am very happy to see the 'dragon-human' won, but the goofy 'canon blaster' concept was also well done.

    I only caught the tail end of it, but was really thrilled to see a heads' up final match between Rayce and Laura, my favorite two Face Off finalists thus far. Both are exceptional and worthy candidates for the title that she ultimately claimed.

    New season starts in July. For sure I am going to watch!
