I have a cool idea for a character team contest, but I'll have to keep it in my back pocket (currently kept on Facebook) for a few weeks as I have a different idea for this week, then we'll probably do Halloween. So be warned!
In the meantime, I have a new challenge for you all -- design the coolest character illustration or other scene somehow depicting the concept of a carnival or circus! Bearded ladies, strong men, lion tamers, killer clowns, ringleaders, trick horse riders, general carnies, Captain Cotton and Candy, if it's associated with circuses or carnivals, it's fair game.
The person with the winning entry as selected by our expert panel (i.e. me) will win their choice of either a portrait or item to go in HeroMachine 3, or a custom black and white "Sketch of the Day" style drawing (also by me). The rules otherwise are the same as always:
- All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest;
- Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.
- All entries must be in by next Monday, when I'll choose a winner, who will receive his or her choice of any item or a portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program, or a "Sketch of the Week" style black and white illustration.
Good luck everyone!
Here are six for starts, hope you like them!

Dammit, Jeff! I was seriously thinking about taking a week off from character design, and concentrate on catching up on my sleep. Especially with the crunch at work this week. But now you’ve done this, and I already have an idea I want to use. Sigh This is going to be a long one.

@Jeff: Can I use a character that I’ve posted on open critique day?
I think I’m going to revisit an old creation of mine and give him a makeover utilizing the newer items and the methods I’ve learned since I made him. Very interesting contest…
entry #2
“Come one come all to Demetre’s Russian Circus! Be astounded and amazed at such acts as: Freik, Mark the Mad Midget, Tanya the tiger and many more!” That is the sign outside Demetre’s Russian Circus. however, what they don’t tell you, is that the majority of people who go to the circus leave it alive. all the acts are wondrous, and all equally deadly. many go to see Demetre’s Russian Circus, and most disappear mysteriously. those who don’t become part of the show, either as new acts, or as Freik’s new juggling tools.

I don’t know why no one ever mentions the others creations….Asder’s “Flame Master” is probably going on Jeff’s list. It looks pretty cool, like the arm pose and the fire ACTUALLY looks like it’s coming from his mouth.
Nice job Asder! Also why don’t you guys tell me what you think of mine? Also Alan Bates “Dr Trapeze” is pretty funny and the only thing that doesn’t “work” for me is the background otherwise it is pretty good. 🙂

When I’m at work I can not access the UGO forums either. Our service provider blocks it out. At home I can access UGO fine.
his story is
He was created by a mad scientist and dubbed HOMO ELAPHANTIS.
His creator could no longer care for him and sold him to a circus were he was whipped and beaten in to doing tricks.
He escaped and now he protects his fellow elephants from circuses and zoos and he never forgets his abuse and will take his revenge

In response to Nic/Gta etc.43’s desperate plea for attention (#16), let me say that, speaking for myself, I don’t really have time to post reactions to other heromachinists’ stuff; if I comment on one, I’d have to comment on others. And even if I had the time for that, my workplace’s firewall blocks a lot of the submissions, and I’m having problems with Ugo similar to yours, so there’d be a buttload of art I can’t see to comment on.
That said, my favorite piece of yours is Ted Takes Flight(#4), although it gets kind of muddled and indefinite in the deep background. A close second is Pork Chop (#19). Will he also wok your dog?
And now, as an inadequate concession to fairness, I must add that I also like Mysterious Zed’s Phantom Clown (#18), esp. in his Twisted Candy Form, and hey, Watson Bradshaw, a valiant and ambitious attempt with Tallulah (#63). This is precisely why I nominated thighs with full kneecaps in the re-gifting poll! But noooo! We reeally neeeded hook swords!

At the Carnal Carnival, Bobby and Jessie hid behind a tent for a private moment, but what was a moment to them was hours in reality -and when they finally crawled out of their crawlspace the Carnival had closed for the night. If they only knew what a mistake they had made by lingering after hours. . .
The Carnal Carnival is a wondrous place to take your significant other on the weekend: just never, NEVER be caught on the grounds after the Carnival closes at Dark Light -because that’s when the Carnivore Carnies get very, VERY hungry: They give Chile Con Carnie a whole new meaning.

Ugh. This was a migraine inducing task, given the way HeroMachine fought me almost every step of the way. I can’t even count the number of times I had to restart this, because my saved information was so faulty I couldn’t even use it. I’m more relieved than satisfied that I got this entry finished.
But, on with the show.
Seriously, did we honestly make it all the way to Thursday, and no one booked a knife-throwing act? Well, don’t say Myro doesn’t come through.
I give you Gian Carlo el Magnifico,the main performer of the knife-throwing act at Le Cirque de la Mort, or Circus of Death for those of you that don’t speak French. A man with ineffable accuracy, and mustache-twirling cruelty, he is available for hire for both children’s birthday parties and assassinations (no refund if el Magnifico decides to close a contract murder during your child’s party).

@Myro: That setting is great!(#99) Good luck with the contest!

Does this happen to anybody else?: you’re rotating something, and you’re done rotating it but the cursor doesn’t “let go” of the rotator dial, so as you mouse off to do something else the object keeps rotating? Or is it just me?
While I’m here, it occurs to me that it would be awesome, though probably impossible, to cobble a whole lot of these entries into one massive circus tableau. Does anybody have the wherewithal and obsessiveness to do that?
spidercow2010(102): Happens to me all the time. Also, count me out on trying to patch together all the entries into one massive circus-based tableau. At least until after the weekend. Stupid el Magnifico took to much out of me.
Danny (100) Thanks.
spidercow2010 (101): Also, I don’t know if I’m just that tired (quite likely), or your picture is that funny (still very possible), but the rampaging elephant disaster had me laughing myself to tears. Yeah, I need some sleep.
Spidercow: Yes, the rotation issue happens to me.
@spidercow: happens to me too: How about this semi-annoyance: you put an item near an edge, right where you want it, and when you click on it to color it, pattern it, etc., it jumps towards the center and you have to re-position it.
YES!
@Spidercow 104: OMG! That is a winner!
The Dark Carnival, a last chance haven for the truest freaks and outcasts.
Toxie the Clown

Like the Joker, Tori Bellows was doused by toxic waste but in her case the results were more than just cosmetic. Her green glow of chlorine gas can only be kept in control by her special costume and she can’t get closer than 3 feet to anyone or they could be poisoned.
Serpentina
http://picasaweb.google.com/Phatchick96/HeroMachine#5530551090167702290
Sabine was just an ordinary bayou until her mutant appearance sprouted in her mid teens. When her very religious parents thought she had become a demon they tried to kill her and to escape she fled into the swamps. For the next 5 years she lived, communicating with reptiles and avoiding people until Mr. Dark discovered her and offered he a new home and family.

A reproduction of a freak show poster I actually saw as a kid.
This mild-mannered circus concession stand employee stops selling popcorn and candy and springs into action when danger strikes. He fights with the power of carbonated soft drinks and his magical fiery cotton candy. When the lion tamer loses control of his beasts, Concession Man is ready to stop them!
http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx88/jzelger/ConcessionMan.png
VonMalcolm (109)Not only does that happen to me, but also I will drag objects around, click to set them down, and when I go to do something else, the cursor will still have a hold on them, and drag them all over the place.
Regarding the rotate dial sticking and similar oddities, two things are to blame:
1. I did a crappy job of coding it.
2. Sometimes Flash does get stuck if for some reason the mouse moves unexpectedly quickly. The way the code works is, it is all dependent on the Flash engine detecting certain events. The relevant code for the dial depends, for example, on detecting the “onMouseOut” event. That means whenever the Flash engine detects the mouse has moved out of the area bounded by the rotate dial, it’s supposed to end the “The user is dragging this control” batch of code. But sometimes the mouse moves out of the area too fast and the engine doesn’t detect it, so you get stuck with it still in the “on” position.
Which comes back to point 1, which is I need to do a better job of state detection to make sure it’s not stuck even if the engine fails to detect the event.
@Jeff: The above are minor annoyances, and in a bizarre way add to the charm of HeroMachine: The big issue for me is when HeroMachine only saves half of your character: I (ashamedly/proudly) put crazy time into these creations: when only half of my character loads (usually forewarned by clicking on one item and getting another before my last save) or a freeze happens: that’s the hair puller.
I have found that being proactive lessons the damage: saving constantly and also reloading your character the instant HeroMachine begins ‘acting up’: It is better to have to redo one or two items then redo half of your character.
P.S. Saving the patterns for last is the best advice I have gotten: you can really load up your character with a lot of items and their colors, but once you add those patterns things slow to a crawl.

entry #4
by now ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure you think you’ve seen it all. you’ve seen elephants and lion tamers, acrobats, and even knife throwers. however, I guarantee that you’ve never seen an act like this: Punjar the bulimic sword swallower!
http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad330/onikagenoken/heromachine/joel-Punjar.png?t=1287708452
Joel (123):) I don’t know art, but I know what I like!
Nicholas/GtaMythMaster43 (121) thanks for the compliment, I was really trying to go for a sense of how high up she was (hope that came through).
Myro(102) you are not the only one with a knife thrower, I did mine way back at (56)!
I think I could do ten more characters, I loved this circus themed contest. But I don’t want to give Jeff to much work for monday!
Glad you like my entry Watson, but lets not “BRING THIS UP” again. (sorry couldn’t resist)
Watson.(124) I stand corrected. And I admit Yasmine looks less psychotic and more attractive than Gian Carlo. But don’t let him know I said that.
@MartianBlue (#117): I think you just won the contest. “Freakshow” is really good!
Oh yea also my character is actually based after Heath Ledgers “joker”!
(THE JOKER and henchmen)
@Watson Bradshaw (Liza #101): Excellent illusion of height.
@Gargoyle323 (Circus Idol #116): Distinctive lions, with 3 different personalities. Impressive.
@MartianBlue (#117): Freakshow is jaw-dropping.
Now my partners in crime, I give you Sean the Amazing! This escape artist can phase through solid matter unharmed! Behold…THE ESCAPE ARTIST!

spidercow2010 (104) Thanks for the shout out. Love the stampeding elephant pic, great use of perspective and a real feeling of danger.
MartianBlue (117) great job on freakshow, totally want to know how you got the toes coming out of the boot?
Myro (126) don’t worry I wont tell him, but maybe the two should meet and grab a slice…Now that’s a bad pun!
Watson (130): Owww! That pun actually brought me physical pain.

The Chucklenator
The Chucklenator is a cybernetic organism, stupid make-up over metal endoskeleton. Sent from the future to destroy Connor John and prevent him from stopping Carnival Day, the fateful day when the robotic circus Cyberdingus took over the world, killing most of the humans with corny jokes and cliched, unfunny slapstick. It brought with it only a comedy bomb, complete with fuse, that will ultimately blow it up after a game of hot potato with the straight-faced protagonist. But don’t worry, he’ll be back. In a tiny car. With 20 other clowns. And an elephant.
@Jason Ransom That’s messed up! and totally hilarious and horrifing at the same time! I didn’t even know you knew my ex-wife!

Presenting “The Carousel Demon” straight from the “Carnival of Horrors” Project (2010):
http://s861.photobucket.com/albums/ab175/KingSlaughter/Kingslaughter-CarouselDemon.png
Some basic information: The Carnival of Horrors is an imaginatory nightmarish sighting, built within nightmares by children that have had traumatic experiences (e.g. fear of clowns) from circuses, carnivals, and other visits in similar themed fun parks… It is basically a fiendish carnival town, with grotesque circus freaks and monstrous creatures as its only inhabitants. Those vile monstrosities share one goal in common: To steal people’s FUN and replace it with complete terror…
The Carousel Demon: An amalgam of a fiendish clown and a terrifying demon-beast, The Carousel Demon loves to steal and devour children’s cotton candy …and afterwards their souls…
An excellent aerial rope acrobat, manages to maintain perfect balance on a tiny two-pedal wheel, despite wearing a pair of huge clownish shoes, while he gets rid of all aerial nuisances (like birds and bugs) with his plastic toy hammer.
But besides his “colorful clowny” looks and his undoubted acrobatic skills, he is also an animal summoner and a soul entrapment freak; He can summon a variety of rabid circus animals that spin around his demonic throat-carousel, and he just loves to entrap souls within his pink cotton candy, just before he gobbles it, cause according to him, the souls make the candy sweeter…
Just stay away from a nightmare like this… Keep your children safe from carnivals… if you can…
Here’s an old one I worked really hard on.

Sorry, forgot the back story hehe. Here goes.
You run across the forest ringing the carnival grounds in delight, shouting to the trailing Derek, “You’ll never catch me!” A slight drizzle pours down over your sweat covered features, yet the astounding carnival still goes on, bringing a small flicker of light every now and then to accompany the moon’s dull shine. Your breath is heavy, and your legs weary, but you continue on with your game. When you spot a suitable section of brush, you slide into it and attempt to hold your breath still as Derek runs past. When his the sound of his footsteps are out of your range, you chase after him, hoping to give him a spook. When you round the corner of a large oak, you face an unbelievable horror. Derek is off in a bush, laying dead, while facing you is the Ringmaster, splattered with blood. “I’m sorry you had to see this,” he says. His eyes stare out of the darkness, piercing your very soul, sending shudders down your spine. The eyes aren’t even human, nor is his unbelievably pale skin. “Well, I can’t let you go of course,” he says, his voice shuddering with remorse. You are terrified, you have to escape, but you can’t find the will to move. He closes in, and soon you find his teeth sinking into you, your life slowly slipping away. -The Ringmaster’s Confession
Here’s my circus 🙂
1) Ringmistress
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/DSauce/DiCicatriz-Ringmistress.png
She greets you at the entrance, the master of events at her mysterious little carnival. Don’t stare too long into her eyes, she’s been known to talk patrons into ‘volunteering’ for some of the more death-defying attractions…
2) Ajak the Lion Tamer
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/DSauce/DiCicatriz-AjakTheLionTamer.png
Inherited the position from his late father, Ajak was raised alongside the very lions who act in his show. Eventually the little cub who he thought of as a brother grew to be a proud and ferocious alpha male. During a particularly trying rehearsal, the alpha turned on his trainer. He dismembered Ajak’s father and turned on Ajak himself. Ajak managed to kill his ‘brother’ and now wears him in his act to honor his father’s sarifice.
3) Helen the Strongwoman
The strongest woman in the world, Helen will powerlift her way into your heart. Though her muscles are as solid as steel, a kinder soul you’ll never find. Beware her temper though, Helen’s been known to overreact to remarks concerning her appearance… with mortal consequences.
4) Alyosha and Katerina Karamazov
Gymnasts and acrobats of the highest caliber. Alyosha and Katerina were raised under the watchful eye of a clandestine Soviet super soldier program. The program sought to test the limits of the human body, the head scientist having a particular fondness for twins. Although they hardly speak a word, their lack of communication doesn’t seem to affect their act. The way they move together it’s as if they can tell what the other’s thinking…
5) Sister Foresight
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/DSauce/DiCicatriz-SisterForesight.png
A mysterious woman with the gift of future sight. Come to her tent and she’ll read your fortune, but be forewarned… you may not like what you hear…
6) Festivus
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/DSauce/DiCicatriz-Festivus.png
The centerpiece of Ringmistress’s entertainment spectacle. Festivus is a real crowdpleaser. If he likes you he’ll invite you to his trailer for some behind the scenes fun. Be sure to sign those legal release forms before you go!

Atomic Punk thanks for watching my back, but I have posted the full shot link of Dust Witch … but those posts haven’t been accepted yet. I can see them waiting to be, but ya’ll can’t.
Thanks again though.
JEEZ I looked at entries tonight … I swear I didn’t steal anyone’s ideas, I had been busy all week and been busy with Halloween costumes and decorations. I still have several entries on my to do list, but some are the same ideas … although done differently … so it will depend on how I feel tomorrow wether I do them or not. This is why I like to post first then browse later LOL.

Necrocide – http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/weareborg/Necrocide.png
This is taken place in a world like the X-men and in the style of Marvel and this character is a mutant villain and no one knows just who he really is. For awhile he’s been called many names such as Unknown, Spider, Spiderking, Triblade, Spiderblade, Spade, Stalker, King and The Boss…but so far as the story goes, no one knows that his real name is “Necrocide”…and one other thing, he’s the leader of a villain organization which they call “The Spiders”
Powers: Enhanced Strength, Fire/Ice/Electricity Manipulation, Super Speed, Regenerative Healing Factor, Super Agility, Super Sense like Spider-sense, Able to copy anyone’s fighting techniques, Razor sharp claws and Extra 4 arms all equipped with blades instead of hands and the blades are as strong as Wolverine’s adamantium…
Necrocide –
1. The Death, Destruction, And Eradication Of The Undead
2. Killing something that’s already dead
Mystic Spiderman – http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/weareborg/MysticSpiderman2.png
The story goes that Peter Parker feeling lack of his abilities he asked Dr. Strange for guidance and training, Dr. Strange excepted Peter as his student. So when Peter was done with his training, he gain new powers such as telepathy, energy blasts, teleportation, astral projection, telekinesis, the creation of materials, such as food and water, energy shields, illusions, ability to heal himself or others using energy and the ability to fly if he chooses but he still prefers webslinging and he still has his original spider-like abilities. So when he came back Peter also changed the look of his Spidey outfit. He is now, ‘Mystic Spider-man.’

Affie here is a royal court jester. She was hired less for her skill than the fact that she indulges his majesty’s delusions.

15~ Waterloo Twins
Cojoined Twins inspired by Chang and Eng Bunker, Siamese twins from P.T. Barnum’s circus, but also twins (not co-joined, but identical) I knew (bibliclly) as a teenager, Bobby and Robby. I net them at Waterloo swimming pool, hence their name.

Also how in the bloody hell did you make that “Newspaper”???
“…There is a nurse standing by to assist the squeamish. Fair warning, ladies and gentleman, this exhibit is NOT for children, the enfeebled elderly, or the faint of heart. Few, indeed, are those who can stand by without, at the very least, being–heh heh–SHOCKED by this nigh-incredible scientific demonstration of the awe-inspiring power of impervious Nature, mastered, and then UNLEASHED through the technology of ingenious Mankind! We know not where he comes from, my friends, or how he is able, time after time, to emerge unannihilated by the lightning’s wrath– but see for yourselves! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…Galvanico, the Electrified Man!”

this is giggles. he worked in the circus until a terrorist bombed it, killing most of the people, including his family. after the attack, he went psycho, giving himself a chelsea smile and using a smile-like shaped blade as his weapon of choice. his shoes, gloves, bowtie, makeup, nose, and hair, glow in the dark.

The Grumpy Balloon Clown:
http://s861.photobucket.com/albums/ab175/KingSlaughter/Kingslaughter-GrumpyBalloonClown.png
One of the most negative and gloomy characters in the Carnival of Horrors, Grumpy the Balloon Clown is defined as the utmost spirit of negativity and pessimism… Always carried by a deformed little girl that wears a hood, since he can’t walk by himself, Grumpy wanders around the Carnival of Horrors inside people’s nightmares to give them as many negative thoughts as possible and affect their emotions…quite badly… That is the reason why most people who have dreamt of Grumpy, wake up sad and weary the next day… Yet Grumpy doesn’t like his job, being negative and stuff… He actually hates everything about himself; the fact that he is both a clown (he detests clowns) and a worthless air balloon, depended solely on the ever-silent deformed little girl’s care…
Guest star on the left: The Presenter. A deranged psycho in a suit who just loves to make announcements for the circus…
great job sandcat (178)!
