"They love explosives and fire, which may not necessarily always work out for them." "Next to these guys, you have the Draenei." "This is an alien race that's really just all about protection and making sure that people are okay." "Then we have Pandaren." "They're all about martial arts and home/family, but what they really love is brewing good ale and drinking good ale." "Next we have the Tauren."

"I'm going to have to keep it shorter so I can use her teeth, but I'm hoping that if I extend the wig back, that it would help create that profile." "That's a good idea." "And then I might make paw feet so if they stick out underneath the robes, that you can see that, and then claw hands." "Yeah, if you really want to double down on the claws and make those nice and burly and long, cool." "I'm very excited about this challenge." "This is very awesome." "So you got Draenei, man."

"I was thinking of doing a elderly shaman type." "That's cool." "I'm gonna shrink that side profile down a little bit." "Cool." "You may want to consider some kind of a back form, because the hump's their most important feature." "And yeah, man, just big horns." "If you can pull that off, that could be styling."

"Tell us about your troll character, please." "So I don't know a ton about them, but I do know they have voodoo qualities about them." "Hair is super important." "So I wanted to make sure I was including that in my decisions." "I think you've succeeded." "Can you turn sideways?" "Such a beautiful profile, and I can see the game character fully realized here." "It feels so purposeful and intended." "Thank you." "It's a great depiction of a troll." "The Mohawk is accurate." "The skin's right." "It's like it stepped out of the game." "Thank you." "Did you style the hair?" "Yeah." "That's all laid hair." "Wow." "That's a huge amount of work." "I know, and I'm really bad at laying hair." "Not at all." "No." "I think that's probably one of the greatest successes of your makeup." "It really looks like it came from that world." "Thank you." "Mel, please step back." " Thank you." " Good job." "Walter, please step to the center." " Hey, Walter." " How's it going?" "Tell me about your Draenei." "I wanted him to be a death knight, so I wanted him to look kind of scary, and I wanted to make sure I followed some of the important features... the tentacles, the plates that come up the head," "and the tail." "What you've done here is beyond what I would have expected somebody to be able to do." "The whole thing is wildly accurate." "The death knight armor, the Frostmourne, the coloration of the skin... you've absolutely nailed it." "Thank you." "The paint job is gorgeous." "The forms in the face are beautiful, the shape of the head, everything." " Just exquisite." " Thank you." "This is a very elegant interpretation from game into reality." "Simply put, you've nailed it." "Thank you." "Walter, please step back." "Melissa, you're up." "Hello." " Hi, Melissa." " Hi." "Tell us about your Worgen character." "Well, I tried to create the character that I would make in the game, so I made a Worgen druid that can transform into a cat to fight or a bear to take damage." "It feels really rough technically." "Yes." "As much as you attempted to give the full package, the inclusion of feet and hands caused you to fall down in a couple of places, and the ears don't feel like they're in the right place." "So none of the things really have the level of detail that I'm looking for at this point in the competition." "It looks like you didn't finish your makeup." "You should have used more texturing to give it more life, and it doesn't look very realistic." "Yeah." "You have had one of the hardest jobs here in making a functional snout." "Obviously, that's the one thing holding you back, but I think everything apart from the snout is really, really accurate." "Thank you." "Melissa, please step back." "Thank you so much." "All right, guys, please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate." " Thank you." " Thank you." "All right, judges, so why don't we talk about tonight's looks and start with your favorites?" "What about Rob?" "The makeup's almost flawless in terms of its technical execution." "The texture on the nose..." "I mean, it looked like a bull's nose." "It was just unbelievably well done." "He's obviously very, very skilled." "However, it was a bipedal cow instead of being a Tauren." "All right, Let's move on to Mel." "I think a lot of Warcraft fans at home are gonna be rooting for this one tonight." "There's such a genuine integrity to the design and to the source material." "It's a good, classic execution of a troll." "The profile was done rather well." "She laid that whole Mohawk on;" "That was awesome." "That's probably the best part of that whole makeup." "All right, what about Walter's work?" "Wow." "He accomplished so much this week." "It was really amazing." "And also a tail in his spare time." "He obviously had so much time left over..." "Just sitting around." "That he was just like, "What shall I do now?" "Uh, let's make a tail."" "And so specifically making it a death knight." "It could have walked onto the set of Warcraft, and you would have believed that was a Draenei." "All right, so let's move on to the makeups that didn't work so well for you this week." "Let's start with Yvonne." "There was no vibrance;" "She just did a very plasticky-looking pea green goblin." "And those ears are just as big and blocky and as cartoony as they could possibly be." "It looked like a cheap Halloween mask." "It was shiny." "The hair wasn't woven in." "It was just a bad job." "All right, let's move on to Melissa." "Not my favorite." "It falls down because of the blockiness around the nose, and the mouth felt very amateurish." "She couldn't complete the fingers and the feet and the face at a level that allows her to be in the top." "There were some mistakes on the face." "I can't argue with any of that." "But as a full package," "I think it was the most complete character straight from the game." "All right, then." "Judges, have you chosen our four semi-finalists?" " Yeah." " I believe so." "Okay, let's bring them back out." "[suspenseful music]" "♪ ♪" "All right, Glenn." "Tell us about the top looks." "Rob, despite some of your time management issues, your sculpture was graceful, and the character felt realistic." "Mel, although you didn't have game-specific knowledge, you nailed the troll aesthetic, and the hair work was great." "Walter, you took on way too much this week, but it didn't seem to matter, because the sculpting, the painting, and the fabrication were all brilliant." "So who's the winner of this challenge?" "The winner of tonight's challenge is... [suspenseful music]" "♪ ♪" "So who's the winner of this challenge?" "The winner of tonight's challenge is... [suspenseful music]" "Walter." "What an impressive week for you." "There was true harmony between your Draenei concept and its execution." "Upward trajectory as we head towards the finale." "Well done." "Thank you so much." "Getting my second win means the world to me." "Heading into the semi-finals," "I have a little bit of momentum on my side, and I could win this." " Walter, congratulations." " Thank you." "You, Rob, and Mel can all head back to the makeup room." "Thank you, guys." "[upbeat music]" "♪ ♪" "All right, guys, that means you are on the bottom this week, and one of you will be going home tonight." "Please step forward." "[suspenseful music]" "♪ ♪" "All right, Glenn." "Tell us about the bottom looks tonight." "Yvonne, despite capturing some of the tinkerer spirit of your goblin, the paint job got muddy, and some of the proportions were out of whack." "Melissa, the head-to-toe captured the Worgen dead on, but that same commitment also left your makeup suffering a little bit on a technical level." "So who's going home tonight?" "The person going home tonight is... ♪ ♪" "Yvonne." "Sorry." "It was a strong showing from everyone, and your goblin lacked a bit of the realism and the believability that we were looking for tonight." "Yvonne, I'm so sorry, but you have been eliminated." "That means, Melissa, you are safe this week and can head back to the makeup room." "You did good." "Yvonne, you have great spirit, and you're an amazing artist." "This is only the beginning of the rest of your career right now." "Thank you so much." "Yvonne, it's been a joy having you here with us." "Please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit." " Thank you." " Good night, Yvonne." " Good luck, sweetie." " Good luck." "I'm really sad that I'm leaving the competition this close to the finale." "But I'm really happy that I made it this far." "Pea soup goblin and me are going home." "Oh, no." "I've had so much fun along the way." "And I've proven to myself that I can follow my dream as a make-up artist." "I'm leaving here with my head held high, this is definitely just the beginning for me, and I'm exited for the future."
