And now for my judgements:
King Cauldera
Okay; I like the backstory, but I really don't think that this pallet was the best match for his concept. As far as the costume goes, there's a lot of stone parts, but that's fitting for the concept, and the blend of red and green on the body makes him look a bit like a tomato. He's also really dark, and so it's hard to see details on him, but it's a definite improvement over the last entry, though, so great job.
The Jungle Shade
A simple, but neat design. The Asymettry of color here is actually pretty nice, and the shiny tights make her look like a poison frog, which I think was what the original pallet creator was going for. Good work. Perhaps the only thing I'd change is add a belt.
Wind Soul
Conceptually, I can't really see where you're going with this. She looks like some sort of... Blind knight with lingerie on and some tribal-styled patterns on the skirt and boots. Not quite what I think of when I think 'wind'. Maybe it's just the shots, but she seems really dark colored. The green doesn't stand out as sharply as it should, due to the transparency of the wedding pieces on the skin, neutralizing the green color out with a brown one.
Crack Thorne
Another simple, yet pretty effective design. I'm not entirely fond of the sharp transition of the tights on the body to that of the hands and feet, as the constant texture but not constant color makes it look odd; You probably would've been better off using another glove texture rather than covering them with tights. The facial pattern is also a bit low in contrast; probably would've done better if set to bright red. other than that, it's a pretty simple and sweet suit. Nice job.
Viperian
I actually like the imbalance on this one; The green tights on the top blend surprisingly well with the tech legs, and the lack of dominance by black makes plenty of contrast in this outfit. My only qualm is that the boots could probably be a bit brighter, with dark green as background color instead of black, but still, this is a not so simple, and also very impressive design.
Corrupt Thoughts
Whoo, more imbalance that seems to look good, and probably the 1st entry that has a skin tone that is from the pallet. I'm looking at it right now and simply can't find a fault in the design. Everything in this costume seems to fit together. I have to say, well done.
Venomous Val
Spikes and stuff galore. In the sense that all the entries up until now have been quite traditional, this is a huge departure, and I like it. My only problems with this one is that chest emblem, which probably would've been better left off, and also the lack of a belt, which makes the transition between the top and bottom a little sudden, but that's no big deal. Overall, I really like this design as well.
Venus Dionaea
Hmm... She uses too much of the same parts; a ton of organic and plant. She also needs more colors; all she uses is the bright red and dark green, but it's also a little hard to tell from the pictures. A good attempt at the costume, though.
Poison Pallet
My only real qualm with this would be the fact that the costume is all bug parts, and also that it could maybe use a LITTLE bit of black to balance out the red and green. Still, a fine entry.
Purrrfect Shot
This is a REAL departure in concept, and I admire that greatly. Of course, the colors of the body don't quite match the hands, feet, and head, but hey, what can ya do?
. All I could really reccommend is increase the contrast between the body color and stripes by making them green, or more preferrably, black, perhaps, but then again, I'm a little at loss of what could really be done with the pallet itself, so good jorb.
Erme
PUT ON SOME PAN-Er, sorry. I'd say that the costume needs a bit more balance in its color distribution; maybe make those stiltellos green instead of red? Still, a pretty good and unique design... That needs pants.
Poison Pete
Excellent. I love how that chest emblem looks on this guy. My main problems with this is that the gloves perhaps need a bit more contrast from the main body colors, and that perhaps the trenchcoat look doesn't entirely suit him. Still, I like this design. It does quite well with the colors given.
