Your secretive, seductive, saucey yet somewhat dangerous topic this week is: 

Femme Fatale

Entries must be posted in the Final Entries thread by Midnight on October 9th (UK time) - an extra 5 minutes is given after this to allow for time differences, but entry closes immediately after.

All entries must be accompanied by at least 2 links to WIP images in the WIP thread to qualify for entry. (Details of how to do this can be found here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/thread/107660.aspx and further challenge details/rules can be found here: http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/thread/53757.aspx )

FINAL ENTRIES ONLY HERE PLEASE (and votes when voting opens). All crazy talk to be posted along with WIPs in the WIP thread which you can find here:

http://community.imaginefx.com/forums/138701/ShowThread.aspx#138701

Voting begins after entry closes and runs until Midnight Friday (October 10th), then a moderator will count up the totals and declare a winner. Voting is open to anybody whether they have an entry or not.

NOTE: moderators reserve the right to disqualify any votes they deem suspicious and any attempts at vote sabotage/cheating will not be tolerated.

If we have had this topic already let me know asap! I've been away for a bit and the past topics list is not completely up to date ^^; I do have another lined up.

OK, This is it, I tried so many different things, many of which I got from reading the mag. I feel like I am getting back in the groove as I havent done much art in 10 years since I finished animation. There are some awesome entries this week!

jeez, this is honestly the hardest vote ever, it's official! 

ok my vote

1st - Eagle, jaw droppingly beautiful, i'm always in awe of your work eagle, but this just pushes it right to the top. Quite simply exceptional.

2nd - Sinistral, in a similar vein to eagles, also stunning, and very 3D like

3rd - Fates - awesome and as was said earlier, would make a great IFX cover

special mention are a must for this, pierce, starbuck, omelahay, zim. all very close to being in my top three

that does not discount everyone elses, who's are all absolutely amazing entries, i'm kinda glad i failed to complete mine! it's too hard to enter nowadays!

top notch work all of you.
