Mel struggled last week with her Cyclops but in a surprise twist, the judges decided to bestow upon her the super-special save, allowing her to remain in the competition. There are no more second chances to be had for anyone now so the artists better be ready to bring it. It's on like Leroy Jenkins. Everyone ready? Let's do this.

Welcome to the World of Warcraft! WooHoo! To the non-surprise of all, there is an upcoming WoW feature film so naturally a tie-in is required. The film will feature humans versus orcs so the five remaining artists will adapt one of other six races to a more badass version suitable for the film: Goblin, Draenei, Pandaren, Tauren, Troll, or Worgen. Walter, Melissa, and Rob just about pass out from sheer gamer joy while Mel looks about ready to cry because war-what? Don't worry Mel, Chris Robinson, the Senior Art Director for 'World of Warcraft' is on hand to dispense some character advice.

Rob - Tauren. A man-bull warrior race.

Mel - Troll. They have magic and voodoo and she has a lot of questions.

Yvonne - Goblin, They're snarky and like explosions.

Walter - Dreanei. Not a zombie, just undead. Um, okay.

Melissa - Worgen. She decides on a wolf/cat/high priest-druid... thing. Sure. We'll go with that.

Last week, we saw the end of Robert and his magical menagerie's run and we're all sadder for it, but Walter and Rob are peaking. Will the guys cruise to victory? We're in the home stretch now with only five remaining so, everyone ready? Let's do this.

Welcome to the apothecary! Oh, I hope they have a bezoar. Melissa's excited at least. Their challenge is to delve into Greek mythology, specifically the Cyclops. Each will pick an eye that will inspire their Cyclops. Oh yeah, and this is a focus challenge so, you know, focus on the face. We'll give you a little help though - really, really tall models. And a step stool.

Design
Yvonne - Satan's blacksmith. She's never done a Cyclops before so drink.
Rob - Electric Blue with aquatic pupil. He forged Poseidon's trident.
Mel - human eyeball. She's going with a human/dog hybrid and this just won't end well.
Melissa - Lizard Snake Monster Warrior. She has no real theme but is basing the sculpt on an eyelash viper. No theme, except for BADASS that is.
Walter - Pinky/Purple eye.  You know what goes really well with conjunctivitis? Wrinkles.

The struggle was real for Anna as she was eliminated and Robert lived to be adorable another day. Hopefully he'll have learned from his most recent near-miss and take things a bit more seriously now. We're down to the top six and the margin for error is razor-thin. Going for 'safe' is no longer enough. Y'all ready? Let's do this.

Entering the lab, the top six are greeted by wings. Angels are not among us but Valkyries certainly are. Today's foundation challenge is rooted in Norse mythology and they will be creating Valkyrie goddess makeup. The guest judge is Douglas Noe and he's looking for stylized elements with bold shapes and angles, dramatic color but not flamboyant or garish. The winner gets immunity, a luxury that cannot be overstated at this stage of the competition. You have two hours; choose your wings and go!

Yvonne -  Mother Nature Valkyrie
Melissa - Fallen Warrior
Walter - Trial by Fire
Robert - Vampire Valkyrie
Rob - Uh...his was blue. I think
Mel - Beautiful Badass

Winner: Melissa

First Full Trailer for This Summer's 'Ghostbusters'

That's a Class Four apparition. 

That's okay she seems...peaceful.

It's hereeeeee! Wait...wrong ghost film. Anyway, the first full trailer for the new "Ghostbusters" movie is here and we want to know your thoughts. The film has been surrounded by some controversy and has definitely irked many film purists who think reboots should never be unleashed upon the universe.

The film is based on a screenplay by Katie Dippold and Paul Feig and centers around four women (Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones) out to save us from a diabolical fiend (is there any other kind?) who's generating paranormal activity. Who that fiend is? We don't know. Maybe he/she wants his own reality show?

The film hits theaters on July 15. Will you be going?

Last week, Kaleb was unable run the Gauntlet and was sent packing. Seven artists remain so it's time to find your best side and let's do this.

The remaining contestants take a field trip to a castle and Rob wants dragons. Don't we all?  It's a metaphor for a beautiful facade can hide something twisted and evil. Like me but without the beautiful facade part. I digress. These sorceresses however, are beautiful. Your Spotlight Challenge is to each take a sorceress and turn her into the monstrous evil being she truly is. Remember, we want to see their true evil nature on display.
