I feel like you showed your colors the strongest! I love the lighted wings, but I’m not sure how they quite fit into this shot. I like Marlene’s styling and makeup, but the set is too busy, she’s kind of washing out with all the color. Everything else nails it for me, just the background lost points for me.

I’m liking this! It’s definitely different and she definitely pulls it off. I’m surprised at the background quality being in game, it’s actually looking pretty decent for once! (It’s in game, right? Lol) I do like her styling as well. Although, it took me a few times to see that she had those wings on, I thought it was part of the background! I do think it’s a bit too bright, overall, but good job!

As usual, a very pretty shot! I see some of your colors, but not much of the red, besides her lips. And most of the other colors are somewhat there, but the filter you’ve used has changed the tint of the colors… I adore the pose, and the set though, it turned out really great. But what happened to the border? It’s on the top, but not on the sides?

I adore this! It’s not a normal super high fashion
picture, but rather casual and relaxed for your palette. I’m loving the glowy
feel and softness, and I’m really likin the background. My only complaint is
that her arm blends in with the window. Amazing job!

I feel your colors are very strong in this photo! But Anise and the background do not feel “together”. She looks very pasted on, shadows and lighting would have really sold this idea. Also some bubbles or something around her hands, she looks like she’s interacting, but nothing is there. You almost had it, be sure to step it up for the finale!

I love this!! I do feel like it was a safer route with your color palette, but you still pulled it off. It looks clean and crisp, with just a few off places. I adore that hair, and pretty much everything about this. My only major complaint is the fin part of the tail. I wish it was blended more with the orangish color. Good job!

@TayTay4899 ; What a beautiful sim! Where are those eyelashes from if you remember? I'm thinking Tifa but I could be wrong.
Her eye color is beyond gorgeous.

Reserve? 5 assignments shouldn't kill me I guess. I'm not competing in any comps right now (waiting for finale scores) and I'm finding myself getting really bored already. Taking a break is almost impossible for me.
