"You've really done a great job." "I'm just very disappointed." "It's incredibly impressive." "Thank you very much." "(McKenzie) Previously on Face Off..." "Logan's self-applied superhero slayed the competition." "[applause]" "And Team Laura finally lost another member when Stephanie was sent home." "Now six artists remain." "And tonight there's no more playing around as the competition gets very real." "Nothing compares to the imagination of a child." "(Logan) This can be very fun, or it can be a total nightmare." "(Rayce) It's going awful." "The fur needs to get done here, man." "Ben bit off more than he can chew." "(Laura) You okay?" "It's getting worse." "It just sucks." "When Barney has nightmares, this is what it looks like." "(McKenzie) In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their 85 international locations, a brand-new 2015 Fiat 500, and $100,000." "This is Face Off." "[exciting music]" "This is a pretty low point for me in the competition." "I'm away from my family, and I miss them so much." "It's starting to take a toll." "Being on the bottom doesn't feel good." "But to win..." "because we've made it to the final six, which is really awesome." "At this point, half of us will be competing in the finale." "I just want to make it there so bad." "Whatever challenge comes up next," "I want to push myself." "If it's easy, then it's not worth $100,000." "It's a nice day at the park." "(Emily) This place is really cool." "(Darla) It's a gorgeous day, and there's kids running around and a huge playground, and we're not really sure exactly what we're doing here, but I don't think it's just to go play on the swing set." "(Emily) This is cool." "Welcome to Brookside Park in Pasadena." "Every year, movie studios spend millions of dollars on Hollywood's top writers, producers, and directors to conjure mind-blowing action sequences, spectacular fantasy worlds, and over-the-top characters to entertain people all over the globe." "Now, while these incredible individuals are some of the world's most creative minds, nothing compares to the innocent originality and raw imagination of a child." " Oh, my God." " I love it." "Hey, guys." "Come on over." " Kids." " Oh, my God." "[laughs]" "Oh, man." "(McKenzie) Come on in here." "There you go." "How are you guys doing?" "(all) Good!" "You ready to have some fun today?" "(all) Yes!" "(McKenzie) All right, so as you may have guessed, you'll be working with these amazing kids today." "(Logan) I love kids, but I have no idea what's coming." "This can be very fun, or it can be a total nightmare." "(McKenzie) Sometimes, a child's imagination can be so powerful that they can see and hear things that you and I just can't." "So in this Spotlight Challenge, you're going to work with one of these creative visionaries and bring their imaginary friends to life as a whimsical character." "Yes!" "(Emily voice over) I am super excited about this." "Kids... they don't have boundaries." "This is creativity at its rawest form." "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, and one more thing." "These guys are gonna be coming to the reveal stage this week to see how you've brought their special friends to life." "So no pressure." "Oh, gosh." "Okay, kids, when I say "Go,"" "I want you to run over and pick a contestant." "You got it?" "(all) Yeah!" "(McKenzie) All right, go get a contestant!" "[laughs] [laughter]" "How are you?" "What's up?" " Adam." " Lance." " Why don't we go over there?" " Okay." "(Ben) Let's go draw something." "You ready?" " Yeah." " Come on, buddy." "(man) Holy cow." "We're both gonna draw it." "Oh." "(Logan) Alexandra is an adorable little blonde girl." "And I'm wanting to do a monster." "So I'm looking at her with hopeful eyes, like," ""What do you want, Alexandra?"" "My imaginary thing is a mermaid." "(Logan) A mermaid." "Shit." "Hm." "Of course." "Mermaid." "She has a pink tail." "(Logan) Alexandra's mermaid has a very pink tail with scales that are glowing hearts and a heart-shaped bracelet." "That's, like, kind of pink." "Or there's a pink here..." "I've never had the color pink in my airbrush, but when a little girl asks you to do a mermaid, you do a mermaid." "(Alexandra) Oh, I know another thing we can do to her... her pet dolphin." "(Logan) Do you know how many days I have to do this?" " Nevermind." " No pet dolphins." "Crazy." " Its name's Lulu." " Lulu?" "I love that name." "It can be a bunny, and it's super cute." "(Emily) Maya is adorable." "I love everything about Maya." "She's my best friend." "(Emily) My concept for Maya's imaginary friend Lulu is a stuffed animal that helps inspire creativity." "I can't wait to start on this." "It's gonna be so much fun." "You're awesome, Maya." "Thanks." "You are too." "Thanks." "All right, so he's got horns, right?" "(Lance) Yeah, he's kind of like a giant alligator." "And he just has two legs, and he breathes out fire, and he has lasers all over his eyes." "Also, it has wings, like a dragon wings." "Lance has a long list of everything he wants in a monster, but I know I can't make everything." "And the monster's name is Laser or Godzilla." "Or Godzilla." "Okay, so what if we spell it like "La-zor."" "Great." "I envision Lazor as a creature responsible for missing toys." "So for this character," "I'm going to fabricate a lower jaw coming from the model's chest and then do a whole upper jaw and a head." "This isn't a heavy makeup character." "And it's gonna involve a lot of suit fabrication, so I'm worried about, it may put me on the bottom." "You gonna be a designer when you grow up?" "I was more thinking of a model." "Oh, well, that's always..." "A muscleman model." "That's cool." "(Jordyn) So her head's, like, a big real diamond." "(Darla) Okay." "Because her skin, it looks like sparkles." "And she lives underground." "Okay." "(Jordyn) She has a purse that she always takes with her." " Her shoes are like high heels." " Mm-hmm." "Jordyn tells me a lot of information very quickly, so I just started writing a list as fast as I can." "Now, you said she has a diamond head." "Yeah." "(Darla) Jordyn's imaginary friend has curly hair, black buttons for eyes, wears a sparkly pink dress, but the thing that's making me the most nervous right now is this sparkly blue diamond face." "[moans]" "Diamonds are translucent, and you can't make a person see-through." "[laughs]" "It looks like a diamond." "(Darla) Nice and sparkly too." "Perfect." "(Blayne) Ben, you have to make it like me." "Look at mine." "See how mine are shaped?" "Blayne has the biggest imagination ever and wants everything on this creature." "How many heads does he have?" " Three." " Three heads?" " Yep." " Big heads?" "(Blayne) The size of your head." "Oh, and one has horns." "He wants three heads, wings on the head." "One of them has horns, and the other one has one eye." "He wants it to have a tail, no legs, and walks around on its arms." "I have to kind of remind him that I got to put a person inside this thing." "It has to fly!" "Fly?" "We have to see him walk out on the stage." "Nope." "This is a tall order, and I'm not sure how I'm gonna get away with it." "I'm not done." "Andrew is a wild kid." "He's doing backflips, and I can't even keep up with him." "He's like a B-boy, but he's half zombie." "The rest of the face is, like, all ripped up." "(Julian) Okay." "Awesome." "I like where this is going." "What's B-boy?" "It's like a type of dancing, but..." "Like break dancing?" "Yeah, break dancing, but they call it B-boying." "Okay." "Andrew's imaginary friend B-boy Z is half-zombie, half-human." "He wants him to be bloody, with his heart exposed, and have a mohawk." "I really dig his imaginary friend." "That's my style." "(Darla) Cool." "We done?" "I think we're good." "(girl) Bye!" "(Emily) That was so much fun." "I love the energy from the park, and ready to get into the lab and try new things." "(Emily) Can't wait to grab another wig." "I'm sure they're gonna love that." "From what the judges have said in the past," "I need to start breaking up my makeups so they don't look the same." "So I'm gonna use a wig." "I just have to get more subtle." "This is the one." "And I come up with the idea to flock my rabbit." "This is all flocking?" "Yes." "Flocking is basically tiny bits of fabric." "I want to give it on my pieces so when you touch it, it's velvet." "But before I start sculpting anything," "I want to test out my idea." "So I grab just a random foam latex prosthetic, and I paint it with Pros-Aide," "I cover it with the flocking, and then brush it away." "And it has that velvet texture." "Hey, what's up?" "Good afternoon, guys." "(Laura) Hey." "(Rayce) Hey, it's getting quiet in here." "What kid did you get?" "I got this kid named Andrew." "He wants B-boy Z." "It stands for B-boy Zombie." "But he wanted, like, Walking Dead zombie." "I'm all for it, but..." "Um..." "I'm instantly worried." "Uh, let's see here." "The heartbeat is exposed and bleeding?" "That's what he was saying." "(Laura) I love gory characters too, but the challenge is to make a kid-friendly character." "And if Julian comes out with a realistic zombie, he's guaranteed to go home." "I think this kid just wanted, like, a break dancing zombie." "It's the first day of the imaginary friend challenge, and Laura is concerned about my design." "It's your responsibility as a designer to take that concept and expand on it." "(Julian) It's coming across too gruesome." "This is pretty daunting." "I'm not used to doing whimsical at all." "There was a challenge just like this in Season 3 where we had kids come in." "And these kids had so many ideas." "In Season 3, Rod ended up doing exactly what the child wanted, and he got kicked off for it." "And I don't want to see the same thing happen to Julian." "We got to bring it into a concept that's fun to look at." "We decide to make some changes." "Instead of just a plain hair mohawk, we decide to go with a bone mohawk." "Instead of splitting the zombie straight down the middle, make it asymmetrical." "But I'm a little worried that this is straying a little too far away from what Andrew wants, and I don't want to disappoint him." "All right, let's do this." "Yeah, just go for it." " How you doing, man?" " Good." "(Anthony) So he's got three heads, huh?" "And he can move his heads up and..." "He can go like this with his heads." "(Anthony) Ben is the last person on my team, and I can see Ben in the finale." "He's one of the best sculptors in this competition." "So you have to sculpt three different faces." "There's gonna be two heads that are actually on the arms." "Then there's gonna be a big head that sits over the model's head." "And since Blayne wants this character to have no legs," "I'm gonna have my model on his knees." "Do you think you can pull it off?" "Yeah." "I am worried about Ben on this challenge, going this big." "I think this is crazy enough to work." "This is a huge undertaking." "I get it." "I know everything that I'm risking here." "(Adam) Rather than sculpting the head," "I decided to fabricate the chest, because the shape of the chest is gonna dictate the shape of the head." "So I decide to leave all the sculpting and molding for day two." "So I start working on the body." "I create a simple chest harness." "From there, I grab foam padding, and I start gluing and pinching it to actually build up the overall silhouette of the character." "Once that's done, I coat the foam in latex so I can start adding paper towels and more latex over it and make all the pinch points look like muscles under skin." "That's his lower jaw." "Yeah, the whole head is gonna be a mouth." "Hi, everybody." "(both) Hey!" "Hello." "Alexandra named it Bella." "It's a mermaid." "She wants coral reef embedded in her skin, which is difficult to make beautiful." "This is coral, what you're doing here?" "Correct, yes." "I'm thinking of whether you actually need this right here in the center." "It's really not attractive." "(Logan) Mr. Westmore is absolutely right." "My model has a very pretty face, and to sculpt something over it is really just unnecessary." "Oh, Blayne even did you a sketch." "You don't even have to worry about anything." "That's right." "(Michael) Now, how are you going to paint your eyes?" "(Ben) I'll paint the detail over, and then put a shine to it." "If you have a black iris, put a dot of highlight into it, because I know judges haven't really liked it." "So spend time and really concentrate on your eyeballs." "What did Andrew come up with?" "He wanted a zombie break-dancer." "He's a big fan of the scary, but I'm also trying to translate it into more whimsical look." "The only way you're gonna get any whimsical in here at all is to really give yourself a good smile..." "Smile, mm-hmm." "On your lower piece." "I mean, if it's too..." "The higher up and the straighter it gets, it's gonna be come more horror than it is whimsical or fantasy." " This was her drawing." " Oh, my gosh." "The character has buttons for eyes." "And Laura had a great idea of using glasses, and then fabricating buttons." "Could be the rims with the handle." "Oh, that would be cute." "That could be too, yeah." "Button eyes tend to be a little creepy-looking, but Jordyn was pretty specific." "And so I don't want to scrap it completely." "To make this nice and whimsical, those buttons need to be big." "Definitely." "(Michael) But that's a good idea on a stick like that." "Yeah." " Bye, everyone." " Bye!" "That's time, everyone." "(Ben) So it's day two of our imaginary friend challenge," "Got 9 1/2 hours in the lab today, and I've got a whole bunch of stuff that I got to get finished." "Ready to release your inner child today?" "I start working on the main head." "I need to mold these bastards within, like, the first hour and a half." "I need to get this thing finished so that I can mold all three of these at the same time." "Her legs will be inside." "(Rayce) I see Logan's mermaid tail, and it's really ugly." "Did you have to make it really bulky right here to make it work?" "It's just this really weird, blocky form with duct tape around it." "It can't be that;" "Like, it just can't." "It's gonna look awful." "Rayce points out that it's bulky, which I completely agree with." "So I have to start over." "You can take that and kind of twist it." "(Logan) The new design for the tail is a little bit more shapely than the one I had before." "It's a combination of cutting out foam, cutting out strips of armature wire to create some structure and some strength." "And it's starting to come together." "(Laura) Oh, they're hearts." "So cute." "(Emily) I'm going to sculpt the cowl and leave the big rabbit ears tied back into the hair so I can give down a wig." "Sculpting is just repetitive, and it's... now I'm stuck in my own thoughts." "And I just start thinking about my family." "These challenges are getting really difficult." "Mm-hmm." "I really miss my family." "Mm." "I don't know;" "It just sucks." "I'm just..." "I'm crying sculpting." "And it's getting worse." "(Laura) You okay?" "You need to take a minute?" "It is really, really difficult." "I walk outside, and I don't want to walk back in." "(Laura) It's day two in the lab, and Emily is very much missing her family, so I'm worried for her." "This competition is so important to me, and I've worked so hard to be here." "So I come back in, and I'm ready to put my full effort into everything and get out of this funk." "I cried it out." "I'm not gonna give up." "(Ben) I finish the faces." "Gonna run them into the molder as fast as possible so I can start molding them in Hydrocal." "Hydrocal sets up faster, and the heads are huge, so I'm gonna do them at the same time." "And I've got three of them, so this is quite a task in and of itself." "What's up?" "Just setting up." "Yeah, you're good, though." "(Ben) Having Anthony's full attention is really great." "We're gonna work as hard as we can to make sure that we both stay here for as long as possible." "(Anthony) Get underneath that chin a little bit." "Smooth that down a little bit." "Adios, guys." "Good luck." "(Darla) After I get the mold done, the rest of the day will be figuring out how to fabricate this crystal collar piece." "I've never really done fabrication before, so I'm not really sure exactly what I'm doing." "I start hot-gluing the crystals, and then I place cotton and latex so that it looks as though the crystals are coming out of her skin." "I'm just using all the advice that Laura gave me, and I'm figuring it out as I go." "Looks good, Darla." "Thanks." "I love the teeth, love them." "I'm a little worried, because there's still a lot I have to fabricate and paint." "And I'm not going to get my head until application day, so I won't know if it really fits until the last minute." "How many minutes does it say?" "(Darla) I think we're under ten, but I can't read it." "(Emily) Seven, it's at seven." "(Darla) Sure, that sounds about right." "All right, everybody, that's time." "Now that I'm so close to top five, like, now I got to really go for it, and I'm trying to do that on this challenge." "Oh, gosh, here we go." "It's application day, and we have four hours to apply and one hour Last Looks." "Ah, fuck." "(Emily voice over) And the first thing I see is a big chunk of my ear just taken out." "Oh, no, my foam." "You can fix this." "Yeah." "You just have to give it together, and then you can cotton in latex, and then cavo." "I just have so much to do, and this is just taking time out to fix this." "It'll take maybe half and hour more of your time." "Yeah." "But it's worth it." " Hello, hello." " Hi." "You're a big-ass monster." "That's for sure." "Fuck." "Awesome." " All right, ready for these?" " Yeah." "(Ben voice over) Today I have to run the polyfoam heads, and then I got to create an entire foam suit, and then cover it in fur." "There's just so much to do that it's just mind-blowing." "What are you gonna do about the wings?" "If you want, lay them out and tell your model to give them for you." "Ben's running around multitasking like a madman." "The furnies get done here, man, seriously." "Why..." "You gonna sit in it?" "What?" " I need somebody in it." " I'll sit in it." "As a coach, I can't do the work for him." "So his model helps him fabricate things, and I'll just be in the suit all day." "You look good in this." "[laughter]" "Why do I feel like a king?" "As it sits right now, it's very much like this is a chest plate that just happens to look like a bottom jaw." "The only unique thing about my design is this giant mouth opening and closing." "The closer you bring this to his head, maybe there's, like, a little bit of batting to kind of pull this up on the back." "If that doesn't work, my concept is shit." "(Darla) This is gonna be a weird piece to apply." "The appliance covers her entire face, but then there's a big hole in the center, so there's definitely some edges around the mouth that I'm gonna have to worry about." "There's only six of us left, so one little mistake could end up putting you on the bottom." "Awesome." "(Julian) I'm amazed at how well this lined up right here." "(Laura) Yeah, that's great." "I'm a little torn about which way to go with the paint job, but I decide to go more realistic, just because the sculpt is already so cartoony." "If I go with more of the bright purples and reds that Andrew was asking for, it may not read as a zombie." "(man) 30 minutes, guys." "30 minutes, Ben." "(Ben) This is the biggest thing that I've ever created, and I'm not even sure how this thing's gonna turn out." "Do you want one of these wigs?" "Yeah, just throw them both in there." "(Anthony) Ben is going into Last Looks with a week's worth of work that he has to complete in an hour." "That's time, everybody!" "He definitely bit off more than he can chew on this challenge." "And I didn't quite see a way to rein it back in." "Is that sweat?" "Yeah." "I don't think I've ever been this terrified in this competition." "This is weird." "Never been on this side." "Trying to get you situated." "My model has absolutely nothing on him, so I need to start buttoning everything up." "I'm using hot give guns, safety pins, everything I can to start gluing this fun fur down." "I grab some Kryolan colored hair spray and start blending the colors and painting some polka dots." "It makes the fun fur look appropriate, not so solid." "Makeup, makeup." "I am not terribly experienced with beauty makeup." "(woman) Like, if you put something, like, right here, it gives it, like, a different effect." "I'm getting advice from my model, and it seems to be working." "I still have to zombify B-boy Z's hands." "So I rush to get everything glued down and painted as fast as I can." "Ten minutes, everybody." "It's time!" "(Ben) This thing is not finished, and I'm afraid this could end badly for both me and Anthony." "Oh, my gosh." "They're so cute." "Welcome back to the reveal stage." "You remember these guys." "Oh, yeah." "Are you guys excited to see your imaginary friends?" "(all) Yeah!" "(McKenzie) Me too!" "But before we see them, I want you guys to all go stand with the artist that you worked with." "Come on, Maya." "How are you doing?" "Hi!" " How are you?" " Good." "All right, guys, before we see your creations, let's say hello to our judges." "Owner of Optic Nerve Makeup Effects Studio," "Glenn Hetrick." "Good evening, guys." " Good evening." " Hello." "Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill." "Hi, everybody." "Hello." "And creature and concept designer Neville Page." "Hi, kids." "(all) Hi!" "Okay, this week your Spotlight Challenge was to work with these adorable kids and help bring their imaginary friends to life, so let's take a look at your creations." "You ready?" "Ready." "(Julian) It's not the cleanest makeup I've done, so I don't think I'm on top, but I'm thinking I'm in a good place for the sheer fact that the kids are enjoying the character so much." "[laughter]" "(Darla) Jordyn's eyes just light up, and I'm really happy with the character." "I think she looks beautiful, and she does sparkle." "It's amazing." "(Emily) I wish I had more time for this makeup, 'cause I know I could have done a lot more with it, but I am happy with it." "And I really, really, really hope Maya likes it." " Looks good." " Yeah?" "He's like a monster." "It's funny, right?" "[laughter]" "(Ben) I'm not happy with it, but Blayne's really excited to have the three heads." "I did a lot of work within these last two days." "Hopefully that'll be the thing that saves me." "(Logan) I think Alexandra's really liking it, but for me, this could either be a winner or an absolute disaster." "[roaring] [laughter]" "(Adam) I know the judges aren't always fans of fun fur, but that's the foundation of my character." "And I'm just praying that he doesn't faint on stage and horrify a bunch of kids." "[roaring] [laughter]" "So what do you guys think?" "Did they do a good job?" "(all) Yeah!" "(McKenzie) All right, well, thank you, kids, for coming to see us tonight." "Go ahead and say good-bye to your artists." "Give me a hug." "(McKenzie) Bye, guys." "Judges, why don't you take a closer look at the imaginary friends?" "I'm confused." "Can you turn that way for me?" "I'd just like to see this side." "He's got a great profile." "It seems really... pointless, for lack of a better word." "[laughs]" "Nice bling." "You can tell that this is Darla's work, because she does this thing with these bone lines." "I think this is cool, the way she did that treatment where she had all the crystals coming out of her." "This is a tough challenge." "It is." "If you imagine this on a Saturday morning sort of variety show," "I think it works really well." "This would have been a good week for her to do one of her really fabulous big hairdos with the ears up in it." "(Emily) I'm very nervous, because I love this character, but all these makeups on stage are awesome, and I have no idea where I stand." "Tell us who made your favorite imaginary friend tonight on Twitter using hashtag #FaceOff" "This would have been a good week for her to do one of her really fabulous big hairdos with the ears up in it." "She challenged herself to find a different shape." "I actually love that the ears sweep back." "(Emily) I'm very nervous, because I have no idea where I stand." "I'm scared." "Well, hello." "Who do we talk to?" "(Neville) I do love the palette of this." "The biggest problem is the one-dimensional paint job." "(Ve) It looks like he didn't finish painting the eyes." "I love all the shapes." "It's really quite incredible." "I think that the colors are simplified to make it say, "little kid."" "And these shapes are so gorgeous." "(Neville) Mm-hmm." "[roars]" "(Ve) I don't think this is sculpted." "Does that look sculpted?" "(Glenn) That's sculpted, but this is something fabricated with latex." "(Ve) It's really good." "Look at the color in there." "In two days?" "This is a crazy amount of work to have done." "Okay, the judges have scored your creations." "Let's find out what they thought." "Emily." "Logan." "Congratulations, because you are safe this week and can head back to the makeup room." "Thanks." "All right, that means the rest of you were the best and the worst this week." "And the judges would like to speak with you to find out more about your work." "Darla, you're up." "Hello." "(Glenn) Why don't you start off by telling us how your child informed your decisions in creating this." "Her imaginary friend has a sparkly blue diamond face and black buttons for eyes." "I wanted to incorporate as much of what Jordyn wanted." "And this is the first time I've really fabricated anything." "So I'm really happy with it." "I'm happy with it too." "I really like your integration of the diamond concept." "You really got the vibe of this challenge and did a great job putting your skills to use and coming up with something that fit." "Thank you so much." "That was a really clever way to create the button effect with those glasses." "I love the crushed stones that you put on her chest, intermingled with your crystals jutting out." "And when she's done with all of her diamonds, she can bring them on over to my house, and I'd be very happy about that." "(Neville) The fabrication is great." "The implicit collar with these crystalline forms is beautiful." "It frames her nice." "And the wig is a great choice to go with, because it keeps her beautiful." "Very solid character." "Thank you." "Darla, please step back." "Thank you." "Ben, please step to the center." "Would you please tell us what Blayne asked you for when he described his friend?" "Blayne asked for a flying character with three heads, no legs, and a tail." "I tried to go as cartoonish as possible." "I think you certainly got that part down." "Unfortunately, I think your main head is very one-dimensional." "I'm really disappointed, because his eyes are not finished." "His paint job's not finished." "It's lackluster this week." "Where you may have gone wrong is actually trying to do exactly what the client specified." "This ends up being three very simple carnival masks on limbs, and nothing more." "You simply took on too much work." "By the time you've sculpted and molded three heads, there's very little time to concentrate on the quality." "Ben, if you'd please step down." "Adam, please step forward." "So tell us how Lance motivated this character for you." "Lance wanted wings, six arms, two horns, giant monster." "He wanted to name it Godzilla, but I explained what copyright infringement was, so... [laughter]" "So his name is Lazor." "He's a junkyard monster that eats toys." "And as he eats more, he grows larger and larger." "This was a very smart direction to take it." "Using head movement to get this giant animation was very successful." "When Barney has nightmares, this is what it looks like." "It's a very difficult thing to utilize your skills and give us all the things we're looking for while trying to make it look childlike." "And you did that so wonderfully and to such great effect." "Thank you." "The paint on the chest, all the translucent colors, so well done." "I love the different-sized teeth." "It's really imaginative." "Great job, honey." "Thank you so much." "Adam, you can step back." "Julian, you're up." "Tell us how Andrew's ideas helped you create this character." "Andrew wanted me to make a realistic zombie with half of his face gone, and with a mohawk, and kind of a hip-hop B-boy." "So I had to come to a happy medium by making this kid-friendly as well as scary." "I'm not terribly thrilled with this." "It lives in this space between zombie makeup and then trying to make it kid-like." "And it didn't go far enough, so it just ends up in this design purgatory, sculpturally and with the color." "I don't believe you did a good paint job on it." "There's not enough delineation between the sides." "It's very murky where you actually sculpted skin." "I know he wanted a zombie, but this doesn't even look like a zombie to me." "There's just some odd shape choices that don't seem to have really much purpose, even just artistically." "I just find it confusing as a concept." "Julian, thank you very much." "Please step back." "Thanks." "Thank you, guys." "Coaches, do you have anything to say to the judges before they make their decisions?" "(Anthony) Yeah, you know, Ben's shown you guys some really incredible makeups with really strong subtleties." "So knowing what he's capable of would hopefully pass him on to the next one." "I'm gonna speak out for Julian." "I think he went outside his comfort zone a lot this week." "He did a good job understanding what the kid wanted while taking in the notes that you guys have been giving him week after week." "And he still has a lot more to show." "(McKenzie) Well, thank you, guys." "Please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate." "All right, judges, let's start with your favorite looks tonight." "Why don't we start with Darla's work?" "(Ve) I think she did a really great job in translating what Jordyn asked her to do." "I mean, she had the beautiful crushed stones on the chest." "(Glenn) The whole thing felt like it really belonged in a child's film or a child's video game." "Oh, definitely." "That's really what they're trying to do in this challenge, is please the kid but also please the judges." "And that's so difficult." "(Neville) She's got a real gift at simple form, plainer shapes." "It's kind of fascinating." "All right, let's move on to Adam." "(Ve) It was really clever, and the paint job was awesome." "(Glenn) The head movement was my favorite thing." "It's very simple." "It worked so well." "He basically did everything one man could possibly do within the time that he had." "(Neville) Adam seemed to really sum up the overall vision of a kid character." "It felt like a full-size, walking toy." "(McKenzie) Okay, judges, let's move on to our least favorite makeups this week." "Why don't we start with Ben?" "(Glenn) Ben, for the best reason possible, failed badly." "He wanted to please the kid and to do every single thing, but that literal translation of every detail is exactly what shot him in the foot." "(Neville) The design of the yellow head is so retro, but not in a good way." "The surface of the sculpt is asymmetric;" "It's rough." "I just don't think he had enough time to paint them properly." "Let's move on to Julian." "(Neville) The bone mohawk..." "These forms are so arbitrary on his chin, on the back of the neck." "I didn't get it." "(Ve) That is not a zombie." "There's nothing about that head that says zombie to me." "It just looks like a dilapidated mohawk skull." "It never got to childlike." "It just got to basic and rough and rudimentary." "All right, judges, have you made your decisions?" "Yes, we have." "Okay, let's bring them back out." "All right, Glenn, tell us about tonight's top looks." "Darla, we liked the sort of fantasy path that you took, and we thought that you did a great job capturing your child's imaginary friend in a very graceful way." "And Adam, you found a way to embrace your client's various wishes but still delivered a really fun, satisfying, and cohesive character." "So who is the winner of this challenge?" "The winner of tonight's challenge is..." "So who is the winner of this challenge?" "The winner of tonight's challenge is..." "Adam." "You managed to find a way to deliver on every front for this challenge." "Job well done." "Thank you so much." "(Adam voice over) I finally won my first Spotlight Challenge." "It feels good." "And this is a good way to enter the top five." "Adam, congratulations." "Thank you." "So, Anthony, because your last team member is on the bottom tonight, you could be eliminated as well." "So you're gonna stay here with Ben and Julian." "The rest of you can head back to the makeup room." "Ben and Julian, please step forward." "Glenn, tell us about the bottom looks." "Ben, we appreciate that you wanted to stay true to your child's vision, but you really needed to streamline those ideas into something that you could complete." "And Julian, though the B-boy angle made him really fun and playful, your attempt to identify a concept within your child's ideas fell rather flat." "So who is going home tonight?" "The person going home tonight is..." "Ben." "We know how capable you are, but we just didn't see it this week." "Your sculpting and paintwork were both poor and unfinished." "Ben, I'm sorry, but that means you have been eliminated." "Julian, you're safe this week and can head back to the makeup room." "Anthony, I'm so sorry, but Ben was your last team member, which means you, too, have been eliminated." "I just want to thank you for joining us again this season." "It's always awesome to see everything that you have to offer." "Once again, you did a great job." "Thank you so much." "Just excited to get a chance to work with Ben and the other members of my team." "Ben, I think you know that I'm a huge fan of your talents." "You've done some wonderful things here." "I think you're an amazing artist." "You're gonna do just fine, man." "Thanks." "It's been great having you both here with us this season." "But if you'd please head back to the makeup room." "Thank you both." " Thanks, guys." " Bye." " Thank you." " Bye, guys." "Aw, buddy." " Sorry, dude." " It's all right." "I gave it my best shot." "I probably went a little bigger than I should have." "It's me." "Aw, brother." "And him." "And me." "I'm most bummed not for myself, but mainly for Ben." "He had it in him to go all the way." "You know, I had a hell of a run, going from former Marine, working on helicopters." "From here on out to the end, you know, I know from experience that it's only gonna get harder." "As long as each person takes something with them that they've learned from me, then I have done my job." "I'm glad to have learned a lot from you, actually." "Likewise." "Yeah, man." "Good run." "(Ben) Coach Anthony is the greatest, and he knew how to push me in the right direction." "This experience has been crazy." "It's meant a lot to me." "I put myself out there;" "I stuck to my guns." "I'm just gonna keep doing it."
