Recently we talked about revisiting past contest ideas, so this week that's exactly what we're going to do. Way back in June of 2009, we held Character Design Contest 6: Animalia, and now's your chance to do it all over again! Here's how the original announcement read:
Your character creation challenge for this week is going to be a bit more focused than last time: you must create a character (or characters) based on the animal kingdom. That might mean a super chimpanzee, or it might mean The Battling Beaver super-hero, or it might be a space-zombie-fighting intergalactic robot horse, or it might be your take on the Beastmaster, or a fantasy ranger with his wolf companion, or or or anything else you can think of, so long as it relates in some way to an animal.
We've updated the rules a bit since then, though:
- 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.
The person with the winning entry as selected by our expert panel (i.e. me) will win their choice of a) a portrait to go in HeroMachine 3, b) an item to go in HeroMachine 3, or c) a custom black and white "Sketch of the Day" style drawing (also by me).
For old times' sake, the original winner of the first Animalia contest was Friday Night Fights Winner Martian Blue's "Eagle:
Good luck, everyone!
Get ready for Rage Beaver and Snake-clops!

Here is Jyn, who has the powers of and ability to become a phoenix.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/4917/mcknight57jynphoenix.png
I have a much longer backstory, but suffice it to say that he is 300 years old and was given the Phoenix Blessing in order to save his life, due to a mortal wound (indicated by the scar on his chest.) As with the mythical bird, he has a 1000 year lifespan and if injured (this part was my idea), the wound instantly heals. If mortally wounded, he’ll burn up into a pile (more like a statue really) of ash and then promptly break out of it seemingly unharmed. Given that he’s only 300 years into the lifecycle, he’s got a good 700 to go.
@McKnight57 (3 and 4): For shame, sir! It’s Larry and his brothers Daryl.
(If this ends up a double post, I apologise. Couldn’t see my comment.)

Now not so many entries i made review 😀
@McKnight57 (5) – Nice pose, so strong and deviant looking. I think the blue aura is a little bit too many, i think you transparency the color the picture looks more better.
@Albannach (7) – Bison looks so cool, very strong feeling for this character. Pan looks me like an evil satanic priest. Cool looking.
@Maniacmick (8) – LOL – OMG. This is so cool, very funny and great composition. I like this picture. One visual problem is the full white insignia, i think you use a little darker yellow for the insignia.
@Keith_Kanin (12) Overally this picture is so cool, my only problem is the size, It’s too little. In the forum there is a attachment option, when you start a post, and you shared this with the original size. I like the concept. One visually problem for me is the head, i think the size not perfect.
@Tarkabarka
Pan is actually an RP character of mine, a superhero, and he’s the nicest guy you could possibly hope to meet. He is the epitome of Lawful Good 😛
@Albannach (15) – This is the reason of the some pagan metal 😀 – I always seen satanic things.
@Captain Kicktar (13)
1 picture. – Very good idea. Really looking like a snake mutation. If i give an advice you use the snake skin pattern of the character right side.
2 picture. – I have got some visually problem. I think made bigger wings, the pecker i think no needed. Not an bad char, great effort
Here’s my entry. I’ve not got a lot of time recently to do this sort of thing, but I like to at least make a quick attempt each time to keep my hands in, meaning i’m still used to basic character creating when I can focus a lot more time to it.

@Tarkabarka thanks for the review. I think I am going to go back and add some shading and highlights for the final entry if I have time. I just had the idea and a few minutes to put it together this time. I saw that my pictures are smaller than the rest of what is being posted by others and was wondering what I could do about it, so thanks for that advice as well. Looking forward to seing what you have to enter for this one.

@borntobealoser (17) – Great insignia use. Very nasty looking character.
@Keith_Kanin (19, 28, 32) First here is a tutorial how to make attachment in forum. -http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TKOXFGS2. Second the picture. – Yeap more better. Very good conception, the head size is good now. Great work Keith_Kanin
@Explosivo(20) I don’t know this is your first ever entry, but very nice starting. For me the picture is too Blue, i think if you give some green or other color and few item the picture is more better.
@mrmatt220(21)
1. This is the correct entry link http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m593/mrmatt220/hm3-beta-1.jpg
2. Nice sky, i like the animal heads in the ski. That gives me the feeling this is a spirit keeper.
@Blue Blazer(23)
For me i personally like all of them.
CANADA GOOSE – Great char, very good coloring
BROWN RECLUSE – NICE, So nasty looking. My visually problem the full white gradients in the robotic legs. BTW i love this char, like an robotic Venom.
LADYBUG – Good idea and good entry. I think the gradient in the wings not needed or not this size.
@Hunter63(24) – Also like Kieth Kanin my overall problem is the picture size too small. – Great pose and coloring, very experimental.
@Xenowolf(25) – Great entry. I like the pose. My only visually problem is the smoke, i think no needed or hide all of the two lover arms.
@Vampyrist(26) – My easiest review. In no PUP thread i wrote my oppinion. This picture is so cool, great coloring and feeling. Great work Vampyrist.
@abominal401(27) – Nice. I like his head. Very nasty looking have him.
@maniacmick (29) – Great lucha style. Very good looking. My visually problem is the size of the picture. If you make a bigger background is more better.
@ajw (31) – Great pose and very good coloring. Nice work AJW
@PapaKrok (33) – (Papakrok started our terrorizing :D) Now the picture. – Great pose, very unusuall looking. Good item use, nice coloring. I like her head. Very nasty looking. Great work PapaKrok
@Blaq_aries (34) – Nice char, so nasty looking. One visually problem for me is the spade head – i choose silver or grey. Btw good char
@dblade (35) – (Dblade continues our terrorizing :D) I also think this type of entry…. – Good coloring, very great entry. I really like her hair. Great insignia use in the body. Great work Dblade
Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryus, there was an age undreamed-of. And unto this Aeral, destined to bear the Horned Crown of Aerithnu upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of his saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure.
Aeral is not a Wolf-Man, nor any sort of hybrid of man and wolf. He is what wolves may become, given enough evolutionary time. His is a proud race of warriors and shamans.

I’m sorry but I had to laugh at that. I thought no one would get the reference.
@Debochire (40) – Very intresting concept, visually not strong but have an unique feeling. i have one visually problem, i think the skin color breast is no needed. Btw this picture is so nice.
This is what will be happened if you use the “Cobra Oil” too much… Hehe…

Here is my first entry for a the contest.
@PapaKrok– Y’know, I was worried there for a minute when I spotted that name [Manapede] under “Most Recent Comments”. After “Human Centipede”– which should be filed under “Most Disturbing Movies of All Time”– a visual cropped up in the ol’ brain and I was partially relieved to see it was merely a human/centipede hybrid. I’d rather have that Cronenbergian horror staring back at me than another human’s arse.

OK, this would have been my entry to the Capricorn contest, but I made it too late to enter. So, I thought I’d enter it for this one instead. I’ve lost the saved version so I can’t edit it anymore, else I would have added highlights and stuff. I made this last March or April, I think, before I got confident enough with that sort of thing.

@Everyone else: Please, PLEASE, for your own mental sanity, DO NOT go searching for this “Human Centipede” mentioned above. I did, and will now have to go ask a doctor to put me in a medically induced coma to try to forget it. If that isn’t successful, I’m sure the lobotomy will do the job.
This is NOT a movie. It is strictly meant to cause deep and irreversible mental anguish. Hanging and quartering the individual that came up with this idea isn’t mean enough.
@PapaKrok(84): Loving the Black & White illustration.
I feel sorry for all of you being exposed to “Human Centipede” for the first time because of this thread. I knew what it was, and it’s…well, disturbing, sick, and twisted don’t really seem strong enough to describe it. I haven’t seen it myself (although my fiancee has, and the mere mention makes her want to vomit), and I’m quite thankful for it.
The bad news: rumor is there will be a sequel. Proof there is no God.
Myro, it’s no rumor. It was released on Nov. 4th in the UK (well, according to IMDB anyway.)So we in the States & Canada can be disgusted by it soon enough.
Folks, I’d appreciate it if we could move the discussion of disgusting movies no rational human should ever be forced to watch to some other place, that would be great — it’s enough of a pain working through these submission threads on Monday so I can download all the images without the threat of accidentally clicking on a link to a preview or something that would scar my tender eyes for life 🙂
Also, 1rd2th3st, that link doesn’t go directly to the image. Please use the link from the “direct link” box to the right of the page you linked to instead:

Enter The Wolf-Brother: http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g469/StarManUltra/StarMan2000-UlfrikWolfBrother.png
Ulfrik Wolf-Brother is as like to a barbarian as the Arcadians would ever see, from his untamed hair to his clothing of many pelts, he is a unique figure in the market places of Arcad and it’s townships. He speaks only haltingly the language of the people, coming in only to trade his latest catches for supplies of salted meat and fresh water. The Arcadians fear him more than respect him, for tales of his brutal ways chill their civilized hearts. He is accompanied always by his twin wolves, feral creatures that obey only the commands of their man-brother. His comings and goings are rare, and he is one of the last of the old races that lived before the coming of the Sun-King of Arcad and his mighty empire.

Contest #76: Animalia II
Entry #1
OK, the reason I picked this guy, was my haiku interest. November 25 is Basho-ki, the anniversary of haiku master Basho’s death. In the 1600s he wrote:
furuike ya
kawazu tobikomu
mizo no oto
old pond …
frog leaps in
water’s sound
(tr. William Higgonson)
Every year since 1998 I hit people up for frog haiku to honor Master Basho.
So I had to go for a frog.
So from the swamps comes my … Bullywug!!!
Most of the work was on his head and face. His armour is an old shield he found and tied on, he wears moss on his wrist, and fights with old cracked shield and rusty sword. His tongue and mouth may be his greatest weapon.
I had a very busy week this week, and I JUST did him barely before the deadline but I had him envisioned before I even opened HM3. However I did take my time with him. I was very pleased with guy. I hope you are.
