There are so many fun characters, the challenge concepts are creative and the designs are innovative. They're so much better than both of the previous seasons! I am shocked at how quickly I had become attached to the characters, for example I was furious for about a day that the second person to leave, left, because of how I attached I was to him.
My current favourites are...
Laura Bennett: a mother a fifty billion who is determined to stay classy despite it and I think also looks freakishly like McKey from this cycle of ANTM (who also dresses amazingly, did you SEE what she wore to panel this week? :O).
Malan Breton: he seems sort of shy and he mentioned at some point that he'd never had any friends and I related to that from the very beginning. I really liked his designs, but he's the one who left second that I mentioned earlier :(
Alison Kelly: as adorable as a flippin' button and the best part about her is that she doesn't seem to just float through life on that. Her designs have easily been some of my favourites.
Kanye Gillaspie: He's fun, crazy and weirdly into pageants. It's incredibly out of character for me to describe someone as this, but I think it's very appropriate to describe him as a sexy bitch.
I really like a lot of the others, but those are the four that stand out the most for me
and some icons to fuel my obsession...
a)
I like this, it's very simple, it's very clean and with such a strong base I think that's a very good thing. I HATE the background, but it was near impossible to cut him out.b)
I think this is my favourite of the batch. I was heavily inspired by 
by 
colorboxc)
it's like 'b', but red.d)
once again, colorbox inspired. My one problem with this is that the white looks very patchy instead of seamless.e)
I can't decide if I like this less or more than d, I keep on changing my mind :P I do like my subtle text useage :)f)
Ayy... why must I always burn red? I wasn't going to share this with you because I considered it a failure, but I then figured that full disclosure is always best, however cringe-worthy.2.
i)
I loved this photo of Serena, it was so perfect and yet also imperfect at the same time, which gave me something to do to it (you know how much I love to retouch my pictures :D) I think that the overexposure really works here, which isn't something I ever think. The other other two people who I think can overexpose and make it classy are drankmywar and whoever is responsible for the effects on BSG. :Pii)
clearly an alternate version of 'i' that I went a bit wild on textures with. I prefer 'i' because of the simplicity.
