This photoshoot was all about paying tribute to your fellow all-stars! How well did you tribute each other?
The Bride: (Paying Tribute to Emma Frost)
Bella: Sul sul! You look quite unlike yourself this week Miss Bride- which is fitting for a tribute! This photo just oozes Miss Frost- the sexy pose, the gorgeous lingerie that shows of your womanly figure, the playful seductiveness in your eyes- why I could nearly take you for the White Queen herself! I don't know if your skin looks like diamond, but who cares! It's fabulous and I think you are za woka genava!
Fyora: You definitely have Emma Frost's sense of style down, combined with your own deathly style. Being at advantage this week with your blue skin does give a shoutout to Emma's diamond form. I'm a little wary about your posing here, though.
Celine: It's not my favorite of you, but it still works. The icy blue skin is reminiscent of Emma's diamond form, so that works in your favor. I'm not a big fan of your posing and while your hair has its same iconic look, there's something that's just off about it. It's not done is as great of a manner as it normally is.
Cinderella: (Paying Tribute to Harley Quinn)
Bella: I don't know if this picture has captured the cheeky spirit of Harley- you look more like the Bride!
Fyora: I can definitely see this fitting into the dark world of the DC/Batman universe. I could somewhat see this as a Batman villain too. It's a interesting tribute to the universe of which Harley comes from. I love the fashion here too!
Celine: Definitely a darker side of Cinderella that we normally wouldn't ever see. I love the outfit and both the outfit and setting have a definite Batman feel to it. I agree with Bella that a little more cheekiness would have been nice since that would specifically match Harley a bit better, but overall, you have the general feel of your tribute's world.
Emma: (Paying tribute to Jean Grey)
Bella: I'm really glad you chose this picture, and when I think of Jean Grey I too think of the fiery cosmic force of the Phoenix that has been so aptly represented here. Had I not known this picture was you I would have mistaken you for Jean Grey herself! Bee gah!
Fyora: An interesting and eyecatching take on the Phoenix here. I love the outfit, and I love the surroundings. It represents exactly the chaos and loss of control that the Phoenix brought onto Jean.
Celine: The definite plus side to this photo is that I could tell who you were paying tribute to without even looking. I'm a little curious about this photo and why the Scarlet Witch is at your feet, but it doesn't really matter cause you still stay the focus of the shot. I don't know what other photo you planned on using, but it's a good thing you submitted this one cause it's really solid.
Psylocke: (Paying Tribute to Thor)
Bella: It looks as though you have the power of mjölnir in your fists! You look tough Psylocke. I love how fierce you look, my only criticism is that your left arm looks a little stunted, however this is a strong picture and you look as though you have embodied the spirit of Thor! Whippna Choba Dog Psylocke
Fyora: I don't know if I see thunder here, but rather fire... Maybe it's like St Elmo's fire, but I think that's stretching it a bit. And I don't know if I like how flexible your torso is!
I do see strength here, and that's something Thor is known for.Celine: I'm not so thrilled with this shot. Maybe I'm being a bit too nit-picky here, but I don't see Thor in this shot. Psylocke's always been one of my favorite Marvel characters, so I just see Psylocke and her normal powers in this shot, rather than any thunder or lightning that would be associated with Thor.
Harley: (Paying Tribute to Peach)
Bella: When I saw this picture I immediately thought of Cinderella! However I think you have done a pretty good job of capturing the naive innocence of Peach. I'm not sure if you look like a Princess that needs saving though
Fyora: I'm not sure if this is more Peach or Cinderella. Either way, you've got the Princess motif down. That being said, I love the dress, and your colours and joker motif throughout it.
Celine: My first thought was Cinderella (the obvious princess with a storybook feel to it), but Peach definitely also works for this shot, too. When I cut out the background and just look at you, Peach's vibe definitely becomes more noticeable. You seem to embody a lot of Peach's personality while still retaining your own identity, which makes for a good tribute.
Jean: (Paying Tribute to Psylocke)
Bella: I'm not really sure about this - yes it's a beautiful shot of Miss Grey in her bikini- but is it really a tribute to Psylocke or just a pretty picture?
Fyora: Like Bella, I'm not sure if this is more a "pin up" redemption, or a tribute to Psylocke's modelling past. The modelling approach is a very broad, very easy topic to tackle, but it's hard to pull off.
Celine: On the plus side, I like that you actually researched the person you are paying tribute to and gave us an angle that wasn't as expected. It's a good-looking shot of you, so that works in your favor as well. My problem is that even with the description, I'm not sold on this as a tribute to Psylocke. There's nothing in here that feels like an iconic part of her character.
Storm: (Paying Tribute to Toph)
Bella: This is a great photo in itself Storm, I really like it. But as a tribute to Toph I feel the modern punk rock outfit doesn't quite fit
Fyora: It's nice to see a great picture from you, Storm. I love the style, and unlike Bella, I believe it's a fitting tribute to Toph's tomboyishness in your own personal style.
Celine: I do get an earthy vibe from this shot and it's a nice nod to Toph in that regard. It doesn't hit us over the head as a tribute to her, so it's not a home run this week, but it's probably my favorite shot of you so far and it fits the criteria of the week.
Peach: (Paying Tribute to The Bride)
Bella: Flort! You look scary Peach! I must commend you on your effort because it would be hard to transform the guileless Princess into the dark and morbid Bride. I think you have pulled it off quite well. I just wish your right arm hadn't disappeared!
Fyora: I think you pulled off the horror/fantasy icon off nicely. I'm not sure if the bridal element is present. I love the fashion, I love the pose, but I'm not sure about how well it connects to the theme.
Celine: The watermark, despite being in the center, is easy to overlook. It's very feint. I love the darkness of the shot and it's definitely reminiscent of The Bride. I don't think it 100% matches her style, but comes pretty damn close, so good job with that. Like Bella, I would have liked better positioning for your right arm, but that's my only negative in an otherwise fantastic photo.
Thor: (Paying Tribute to Storm)
Bella:
Fyora: You've got the lightning and power down very well, It's a very good shot. But I feel this was an easy option for you. I wish there was some other way for you to portray the weather witch without actually summoning weather.
Celine: I do have to say I'm a little disappointed in who you're paying tribute to. It's an easy way out side both of you are known for your lightning. That said, I do think the coloration of your costume this round does pay tribute to Storm, so at least we have that differentiation between the two of you.
Toph: (Paying Tribute to Cinderella)
As the tail of Cinderella goes, her mother unfortunately passes away and her father marries the wicked step mother and blah blah blah... anyway, Cinderella visits her mother's grave with a twig her father gave her when she asked for the first one to knock off his hat. She planted the twig at the base of her mother's grave and it grew into a hazel tree by the water from her tears. I feel this photograph gives off the emotion Cinderella feels and is what really defines her.

Bella: This is a very sad shot. The melancholy and desperation is apparent in your eyes and you have portrayed the part of the story in your description well. However I feel you should be looking a little more ragged as this was a dark time in Cinderella's life- and I wish we could see more of you!
Fyora: Without your description, this may not have been so strong. It's a very heart wrenching picture when coupled with that description. Modelling-wise, it's the face here, the main part, that really lets it down. It's too snarly, as opposed to melancholy for me.
Celine: I feel like the art style of this has more of a Cinderella feel than a Toph feel, so that's nice since you're paying tribute to her. Also, while I had the connection to your tribute before reading the description, reading it only enhanced the already great photo. I'm not 100% sold on your face here and I would have liked to have seen more of you, but what you've given us is definitely very strong and well thought out.
