I normally notice mold lines and gaps almost immediately, and I really had to look around for them in this case. I see one on the scroll now, but other than that I think the other things that might be gaps are passing for folds in the clothing.

This nailed what I was trying to do with my entry, with the magical effect coming out of the skulls. Lesson learned!

Technically it's actually quite good but somehow seems too busy with the color choice.

Yeah, as often happens with these, I can see that something is wrong, but don't know how to fix it until I see the other entries, and then it's obvious. In this case the other entry with tentacles coming out of skulls nailed what I was going for. I should have used a really drab grey on the bones instead of yellow/brown, and darkened them up.

Was a fun experiment with sculpting though, which I haven't done before.

The different color spirits and the poses really make me want to know the story of what's happening here. Great job!

Cool characters and color choices, you really get the sense that these are two very different types of magic clashing against each other, between the colors and the form factors.

Everything looks gorgeous! But it is a little hard to make out exactly what's happening.

I love this color scheme.

Just woah.

Ooo I love that pattern on the coat!

I'd like more attention to be drawn to the magic effect in some way, to make it stand out from the model.

I like the touch of purple to make the flames supernatural.

His cloak is floating!

But seriously I really like the gradient on the effect.

Just the right amount of OSL.

Really good compositional control of the viewer's eye. You start up at the top with her, and then the spirits being very slightly darker. It took me several seconds to notice the skulls at the base, but that may be my favorite part. Very well executed.

I'm a sucker for glowing eyes.

11/10, no notes.

The lightning looks great but almost gets lost in the cloak. Maybe having a slightly darker white would help make it stand out a bit more.

Is there a photo filter applied here? Great color palette but I'd like to see more glow from the magic.

Where's the orange one?!

OSL on the coat is pretty good. I think the colors on the effect could be brighter.

The spell effect isn't a big part of the model but it (and the other elements) are really well done. I want to see more of the OSL from the flame. The base is amazing though.

 I like the gradient on the magic effect. I would have pushed it a little more in the eyes/mouth though.

The photo needs more depth/seems cluttered but I like this in principle.

Beautiful blue tones all around. The ice looks a little dark, but I suppose it's magic ice.

This makes me think of Destiny for some reason. Maybe the orb reminds me of the Traveller.
