 I hope that this isn't too small. I wanted to use this because it just had an odd Surrealist cinema look to it. |

Similar to a team in front of you, I feel this borders in between men's magazine and women's magazine. It could easily be something from GQ, which is a men's magazine, and completely fits that style of that magazine. It's really a grey area here. I think there's one thing that's really bothering me, and that's the eyes. I think either having eyes closed or looking down, or making contact with the lens would have made this picture overall better.

Ok, I don't know what style of magazine you have off-hand, so I'm going to guess this is Women's Magazine before I go check. Just checked and I was right. I agree with Janice that this borders between the two styles, but I think it's closer to being in the middle than the previous team. Still, it leans more towards Women's, so it works. I guess part of what works is the addition of the necklace. I feel like a Men's Magazine might not have worried about the accessorizing like that. I like that we can still see some nice lines from you even though you're covered by the pillow. I do wish that the shot extended further so we could have gotten all of your legs in the shot. Still, I think this shot works.

I also can sense the borderline in your photo. It looks a little pinup with the classic sexy vibe and the nudity. However the soft sensuality does convince me that this photo would be suited for a women's magazine. I enjoy the effective accessioning. Like Noel I would like to see where those legs are heading and like Janice I would want to see you making more of a connection to a women's magazine. Whether that be through changing your eye direction, facial expression or interaction with your setting.

First, I'm going to suggest we keep your fictional character restricted to American McGee's Alice from now on, which would mean you would have to change your element shoot in the future redemption challenge - I didn't realise how amazing she'd be. Do you have any objections?
On to your picture. Great representation of wrath. It's creepily fantastic and maniacal. Especially the expression. I'm liking the picture quite a bit.

When people talk about a dream they had where a "creepy child was looking at me with her head cocked to one side and a knife in her hand" they are talking about this exact vision. The more I look at this photo the more I enjoy it. You look comfortably angry which is interesting. I love the way you are connecting to your setting and the way the setting is connecting to you, the couch behind you appears to form devil wings on your back. Your eyes are hypnotic and haunting, this is great.

I was able to immediately guess wrath, so you have the theme down well. That said, this isn't my favorite shot of you; mainly cause of your face. I think your eyes might be spaced too far apart, but if that's not it, it's definitely something, cause it's just off. Your eyes might be angled a bit strangely, now that I look at it again. The setting is very dark and I love it. We don't get to see as much of your fashions since you're pretty covered up, but we still get some, so it still works. Overall, I like this shot; it's just not my favorite from you.

I am slightly worried about having just American Mcgee because so many of them are dark and if Alice is all I have left and the shoot requires something more I am kinda screwed but I tend to pick harder fictional characters so I can try my best.

Well, think about it. You've won with the very dark themed Bride of Frankenstein. When it comes to fictional characters, I have full faith in you, and I know for sure that she's has something that could be sold as a commercial shoot. Let's be frank, the next time you'd use her is probably Ultima.
It's up to you, but I do urge playing as just Alice McGee.

I do like darker and different characters so I will go ahead and play her.

Good thing you check your emails.
I think this looks like a beautiful painting, it's definitely artistic. Perhaps a bit overworked, but I can forgive that. I really like the eye-shadow too. But this does show me there's something a bit wrong with your nose. One nostril is bigger than the other!

I'll be honest, it's not my favorite shot of you. There's something about this that feels awkward and uncomfortable. I can see artistic merit in it, but maybe it's because of how constricting it feels around your face that is turning me off a bit. I do like how your makeup compliments the flowers around your head, though. Your outfit looks nice, but also feels a little washed out by the lighting, so we don't get the full effect of it.
