WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Wooded trails can represent so many things: werewolves, slasher flicks, campire stories…

But this week's challenge isn't about any of those things! Using a real, far away forest as inspiration, the artists will craft the dryad that protects it.

Jordu Schell, of Hellboy and Avatar, is the special one-on-one coach for last week's winner, Matt. So jelly!
390075
"Bigger! BIGGER!" cries Jordu, urging Matt to sculpt a larger cowl than he thought possible.

Mr. Westmore cautions Damien against covering up too much of his model's face - this challenge requires him to make armor, yes, but not at the loss of facial expression.
390078
And for Kevon, a note that his face sculpt looks diseased. He has no choice but to start fresh.
390079
Walter wants to bring in the multidimensionality of the eucalyptus by adding height in the crown.
390080
Kevon is drawing on the asymmetry of his chosen tree, even though that feature is an obstacle to a high standard of beauty.
390081
Matt is facing the consequences of a ginormous sculpture: a ginormous mystery as to how to mold it.
390082
Damien goes big with a tree-shaped gauntlet. Spoiler alert: Ve hates it.
390083
In the battle of Matt vs. Derek, the winner is Derek!
390084
In the battle of Walter vs. Graham, the winner is Walter!
390086
In the battle of Kevon vs. Jordan, the winner is Jordan!
390087
The giant gauntlet and the obscuring of his model's face put Damien in bottom looks this week.
390088
Derek focused on detail and anatomy, and it paid off! This is a top look.
390089
Kevon chose to focus on more things than the judges would've liked. He goes home this week.
390090
The judges find Walter's work to be an excellent blend of beauty, belligerence, and arboreal presence. He wins this challenge!
390091
Graham had an excellent face sculpt this week, but lost it behind a mediocre paint job. He also goes home this week.
