MamaLantiis's Thoughts... Her reaction was great and what I would expect from Barnard 169, but I didn't get a good sense of her feelings at herself transforming.

Maiyuna's Thoughts... I love your use of foreshortening! It's certainly not easy to do - so for that I would suggest to check out a few hand stocks, those really help to get the hang of it. The pose is really lovely - though, I would love to see her standing with more movement next time around, as the previous piece was also a sitting position. You're already on the right track for challenging yourself with different kinds of posing, and that's awesome! So just apply that to a standing pose, and you'll be all set!

MamaLantiis's Thoughts... The light to her shadow - That is epic and what a cliffhanger! You made a story with a cliffhanger D: But a wonderful story. I only docked a point because I didn't quite catch much of her reacting to Cecily's fall so much as her own frailty because of the fall. Also, you have a couple missing punctuation but not bad at all (you are very good at first person - you should do more of it).

While there is motion in this piece, I would love to see a bit more next time around. Beautiful job with the lighting and posing!

MamaLantiis's Thoughts... It looks a little jumbled and has some spelling and punctuation errors... I was concerned because it was so short, but after reading it, my own heart ached for Messier 21 and her sister. I could feel their fear and despair. Nicely done!

Maiyuna's Thoughts... I loved this entry - even with a sitting pose I still see the motion in her skirts. Though, if I were to be nitpicky, it looks as if her legs [specifically her shins and feet] are a bit too long - so that might be something to take note of, for the following rounds. Great job overall!

MamaLantiis's Thoughts... This is such a beautiful and touching story! You can hear Messier 49's desperate pleas as you read this. Great work! There were a few punctuation errors though, mostly in how you used quotation marks. The use made the organization a little off to - had to jump backwards a bit to make sure if what I read was a direct quote or not.

Maiyuna's Thoughts... Lovely job with this entry! I like how dark you made the room and character, as it makes the light of her spell really stand out. I also loved how you made her tears a bit brighter than everything else, so it's very clear to see what's happening there. Awesome job!

The lighting, the shadows, the motion - everything is gorgeous. The claw-like hands surrounding her is such an awesome addition as well. Nothing to suggest - fantastic job with this entry.

MamaLantiis's Thoughts... I loved this. Her reaction to Cecily falling was heartbreaking! I could see where you were going with Lio's fall, but it just was incomplete. I docked a point for that. There were a few spelling errors too. An exceptional story otherwise!

Maiyuna's Thoughts... I love how, compared to the previous round, the plant life seems to be dead and dying. I didn't dock any points for this, but with her legs, her left foot wouldn't be pointing up like it is. It would actually be pointing more towards the viewer. Right now it looks a bit awkward - but that's me being nitpicky. Beautiful work!

MamaLantiis's Thoughts... That was a beautiful story and well written! The completed work itself was submitted small so it is extremely difficult to see details. I really hope your future submissions are larger. With a smaller image, I was unable to see some of what I needed to see for the visual part of judging. From what I can see, try to go a little more outside your comfort zone in your poses, and try to get a little more movement in the loose parts of her fuku.

Sir-Frog's Thoughts... I love you how you seek help for art. Truly respect that! Try pushing yourself to do your art from different perspectives. It can really add a lot. I feel like the theme was nearly absent from your piece however. The background is light, but the Barnard should be the source of the light, not simply awash in a sea of glitter. Your coloring definitely improved.

Maiyuna's Thoughts... I realize the qualification results weren't up in time for this [I said something similar about the movement and motion for that round as well], but I would love to see more dynamic posing, and motion for the next round - as your entry for the previous round seems a little similar to this one. I love how you shaded her skirt, and made her colors lighter to fit the theme of the round. Great job!

Maiyuna's Thoughts... I love the motion of this piece, I definitely get a "Colors of the Wind" vibe, and it's absolutely beautiful! I only took a point for anatomy because I can't see her hands or feet - and while it's probably by design, you don't want to make it seem unfinished. Lovely job with all of the colors and motion, you did an excellent job with this round!

Maiyuna's Thoughts... Your style is so unique! Though, I would love to see more dynamic posing and motion for the next round - your previous round entry and this one seem a rather similar [static, front-faced pose]. I suggest looking up stock poses, to get a better idea on posing and motion. I think that would really help for future rounds - great job!

A huge round of APPLAUSE for this round's top scorer: GrimStarling !
