Challenge 7 - A Tribute To... by tuneful87, on Flickr
Your critique, in alphabetical order:

Abbey:

Janice: Darling, if you're channeling the Mother Monster ... why can I see your pretty face in all your shots?? This is one time when it would be acceptable to cover your face - as the Lady often does - in a fabulous mask and let your body do the talking! Instead your body is just kind of ... hanging out. USE your limbs, girl!

Tyra: Killer outfits, whoa! I am in love with that bubble ensemble! ..Could I borrow that someti-.. *smacked by Janice* Alright alright!
Ahem, back to what I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. Your photos seem to be lacking some sort of close up shot or something a bit "dark". I love your photos, but I'm not IN love with them. Yeah, I know. Whine whine whine, bitch bitch bitch. I do too much of it, go away Tyra. Graaah.. *dramatically faceplants into judges desk*

Nigel: Who is this Gaga? I could have gone for a little more variety in the picture styles ... the outfits and hairstyle variations are drop dead perfection ghoul!  Would love to see a close up face shot thrown in too, to give us detail on your glorious styles. The caution tape wrappings? to DIE FOR!

Clawdeen: You really went all out with Lady Gaga- wait, Lady Gaga who? You're supposed to be Lady Chokya!! Did you even cut your hair into bangs for this challenge? If not, your stylist is amazingly talented! By far your best shot here is in the top right hand corner. That bubble dress is killer, so why wasn't it the main focus? While I love the body shots, I would have liked to have seen at least one close up of your face and one of your amazing hairstyles, and everything could have done with a bit of a brightening up.



Aria:

Janice: Doll, you captured the best of Courtney - but I wish I could have seen a bit of the worst! You know, that crazy sexy psycho-doll chick we all know and love? You've captured her sweet and saucy side, though. I like your collage - it's clean, bright, and well put-together.

Tyra: Hey, look at that! You managed to get Courtney to look classy! I'm sorry, that was in bad spirits.. Back to you, Aria darling. Gorgeous and you look like you're having a wonderful time. The retro vibe from your photos is so much fun and I am in LOVE with this. The only thing that bothers me is the bottom right corner.. I can't help but stare at it and think you're falling off the end of the world or something. *tilts head and continues to scrutinize over the strange corner*

Nigel: Capital use of the collage theme ghoul! Would love to see a close up of your face in a Courtney kind of crazy way, I too am kind of knocked off guard with the slipping off the canvas angle of the lower right pic ... but it captures her, that's for sure.

Clawdeen: I was smitten as soon as I saw 'CRAZY BITCH'! You give Courtney a clean, vibrant slate without losing the crazy. You smoking in the chair - so high fashion and so sexy. There's a lot going on here, but you manage to keep it clear cut and legible. Courtney's signature was a great touch, too!


 Cupid:

Janice: Holy mother of pop. I have nothing negative to say - and that's rare for me, darling. Your main shot is dead-on - I love the kicked-off shoes. Your other shots on the side are glorious, too. You murdered it this week.

Tyra: Oh my Ra! Oh my Raaa! This is SO Cyndi I can't even contain myself! Gorgeous, gorgeous gorgeous, retro Cupid and you make it look like a walk in the park. I love the poses, I love how comfortable you look doing it and I love how it definitely brings me back to another era! My only issue is the composition of the overall photos - Some of them look a little blurry and we miss the details of your face. Still, you can definitely see what you were going for!

Nigel: *stares dreamily* Cyndi was my first true crush and I was ecstatic when you decided to channel her for this round, for all intents and purposes it seems like it should be easy to cahnnel her 80's vibe and simple to make it feel like her .. but very often it can be over done ... but you ghoul I have to ask ... did you work with her instead of just pay tribute to her?  EVERYTHING about this collage works! You have variety of shots and styles, and even with the outfit remaining the smae you change up the accessories ... and the layout? TOTALLY 80's!

Clawdeen: Hell yeah, bring the '80s on! You're killing it here. Amazing variety of poses, all of which scream out 'I'm a monster music superstar, beeotch!' You brought Cyndi to life here. The composition is interesting and pays homage to the time period when Cyndi was in her heyday. Great work.



Jordan:

Janice: Your baby blues are electric in these shots, and your costume is opulent Egyptian to the MAX. But all I'm seeing here is lovely Jordan as an Egyptian princess - not Liz. Where are the sultry body shots?! If I'm not seeing some damn curves, I'm not seeing Liz.

Tyra: Those eyes are absolutely captivating! They're so eerie, but at the same time I just can't look away. Your headdress is spectacular, your necklace as equally so, but I feel like we're missing something.. Ah, that's right! Your body, ghoul! Liz Slayer had some incredible legs and that alone could've added so much more inveiglement to this photo.

Nigel: LOVING THE LOOK JORDAN! But there is so little of it to look at ... every picture is the same size and so very terribly similar.  I think you have NAILED the tribute, but the choice of images in the collage needed to be more varied in type and sizes.  They are all the same style of headshot and blend together.  Where is the rest of your bodacious bad model self?

Clawdeen: You aren't just paying homage to Liz - you ARE her! Your headdress is out of this world fabulous, and I especially like your headshot in the top right corner. Your eyes are so alive her, and more vivid that we've ever seen them before. However, four headshots and not a single full body to me seems unbalanced. So does three color photos and one in black and white. Your face is utterly gorgeous here, but Liz Slayer had more than just a pretty face - she had a banging body as well. Where is it?


 Kalma:

Janice: This is a gorgeous shoot. Your costume is insane - and I mean that in the best possible way - and your backdrop is to kill for. Amazing attention to details. You're too relaxed, though. I keep wanting to see FREAKING FIERCE from you - and I keep getting too-professional and "safe"

Tyra: Well, damn! You've definitely captured Madonner, no question on that! The stage is amazing, your close-ups absolutely gorgeous. If I have one thing to bitch about, it'd be that I would have LOVED to see an outfit change of an equally spectacular outfit. Either way, bravo!

Nigel: I guess bazoom cones aren't JUST for sci-fi ... *gets whalloped by the girls*  I ADORE the variety of poses and shots you gave us! A large body shot, to give us the stage feel, two closer up shots to give us detail! HEAVEN!  Might would have liked to see an outfit variation perchance, but Madonner Party really only has one setting ... super smexy as all heck!

Clawdeen: Absolutely fabulous. You brought us into a world all your own - or should I say all Madonner-party's own? You look great up on stage, and your boobs look fantastic. I didn't even know skeletons had them! Great work. You don't need any text to tell us who you are, because there is NO DOUBT! (Although who wouldn't loved to have seen MADONNER-PARTY in bright flashing gold letters?!)



 Lilitha:

Janice: Not thrilled with your presentation this week, honey buns. Your collage looks thrown-together, and that doesn't impress me. Your shots are nice, despite your camera troubles; I love your buxom look, and the sofa shot is darling. But some of the other gals' professionalism is killing you - step it up!

Tyra: HONK HONK BAZOONKAS ALERT! *squeezes Nigel's "breasts" and gets an awfully dirty look from Janice* Even with the brunette hair, I still see Dolly! The top left picture has to be my favourite that I believe channels Dolly the most, but all the other photos don't quite wow me as much. I love the overall feel of your photos, if only we could've had a chance to bleach that hair, huh? *watches Nigel hair flip and rolls eyes*..

Nigel: I had my doubts ghoul ... but you have knocked them out and sent them packing! Nice variety of shots/styles/scenes/outfits, everything that a collage should be! You CLEARLY channelled Dolly Parts very well too! Killer job ghoul, even with technical difficulties.

Clawdeen: I like how you kept to your blood roots by sticking with red font. Your ample bosom is stellar here, and my favorite photo would have to be of you singing on the couch whilst playing your guitar. I understand that your photographer had to use a phone to take this photos, as her camera was broken. Well, you managed to pull off some great shots regardless. I'm not flat on the floor WOW'D, but I do think you paid a nice homage to Dolly Parts in spite of technical difficulties and the fact that you're not even a blonde!


 
Nanami:

Janice: I should be yelling at you to know your whole damn body, but hell - most pics I've ever seen of Janis are either head or torso shots, so I won't pitch a witch fit. I love your main pic; for the others, A) I wish I could have seen at least one different outfit and B) the glasses - while cute - probably only needed to appear once.

Tyra: Oh shoot.. Who knocked you u-.. Oh, it's gone now. Huh, that's strange. I could've sworn I saw a baby bump...Those glasses, the loose dress and long beads scream hippy chic all over the place! You look dorky cute as can be and I am absolutely loving you this week! Great job, Nanami.

Nigel: Ahhhhhhh ... Back when music was about music and not 'auto-tune or whatever they call it ... I could tell instantly who you were paying tribute to, and I love that, bonus brownie points in my book! th only thing i have to nitpick is in the main picture ... you look like you're about to burst ... and then ... 'poof' gone ... Scary ghoul, scary.  A full body shot would have been nice to see as well.  I know you've got to have some kind of crazy, awesome, cool bell bottom look happening down there.

Clawdeen: As far as I can see, there's only one flaw here, and that's your enormous belly in your main photo! Other than that, I'm in love with your collage. It's so homey, earthy. The glasses are killer, and you channel Janis to a tee. I love the composition and the elegant simplicity. Extraordinary job, Nanami. 

 Good luck, everyone! You did a fabulous job, and may the best ghoul win!

I simply adore Jordan, Kalma, and Aria's pics this week :)
I chose Jordan, because I have my own little darling werewolf and I've fallen in love with them :P
(Again, more weird Bias's for my votes  :lookround:)

I can't pick!! I am loving the creativity here! And this was a super difficult challenge, as you can see from our lack of non-participant entry pics. I love Lilitha's different takes on Dolly Parts! I love Kalma's cone boobies! And Cupid :faint: Who am I going to pick? Anyone offering cookies?

It was between Cupid and Nanami this week for me. I INSTANTLY recognized who they were going for (with Kalma coming in close behind on that because of the cone boobies!).

In the end Cupid one with Cindy. Captured her so well. GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FU-UN.

Oh man, Kalma looks really freaking awesome this week. I just... just gotta give it to Cupid, though @_@ She is so incredible and spot-on that it's scary! (The natural pink hair certainly helps, hehe)

It was between Cupid and Kalma for me too, I gave it to Cupid because wow, NAILED IT. I have to give Kalma props for her props  :biggrin: and her costume was my fave this week! There were some great ones! I think this is my new favorite round :) Great job everyone!

I voted for Cupid this week, but the competition is getting close with many great photos! Boobcones, Egyptian headdress, outfits made out of ribbon, creative use of sets, and bigger busts... all kinds of goodness that is great to see :D

Holyschmoley what an awesome lot of photos! So amazing....I haven't made my mind up regarding favourite yet, I can't!!! All so much amazing.

I really haven't to try and learn how to use my editing tools a bit more - I only have Picasa, which is OK and thanks to the tutorial that was posted I managed to get a collage together. As to all the fancy stuff, guess I'll have to have a look online for more free editors and tutorials! Gotta tray and practice :)

(And I sooooooooooooo wish I could have swapped wigs for this challenge!!!!)

Man this is a total landslide! Go Cupid! Any other Ghouls hiding in shame for how much she's kickin' their butts? XD Kalma certainly is!

I'm surprised Abbey doesn't have more votes though. Her costumes are my favorite this week, it's SO gaga!
