Emmy-winning artist Eryn Krueger Mekash guest judges the Foundation Challenge, in which the artists create characters inspired by their own interpretation of a Rorschach ink blot.
Meg sees a mermaid in her Rorschach ink blot and incorporates actual sea sponges into her makeup, a move that earns her immunity going into the Spotlight Challenge.
The artists blindly select a key that assigns them not only to their gate of inspiration but also to their partner. They'll create both a guardian and a prisoner.
The judges love Jasmine's decision to sculpt a cowl but keep most of the guardian's face as straight beauty makeup, while Nora's color choices for the evil critter complement the other character perfectly. Top Looks, baby!
Jason and Ricky both lost time with their sculpts in the initial phase, which resulted in a rushed paint job. Ve thinks the guardian looks like a girl bird on her way to prom. Bottom Looks for these two.
Libby was warned that an animal character would take a masterful knowledge of anatomy to pull off, but she goes ahead with the idea. Unfortunately, her hyena-boar hybrid sends her home.
