Character Design Contest 77: Sporty!

Your design challenge for this week is to create character or characters based on something related to sports. It might be something funny like "Catcher in the Rye" which is an actual baseball catcher on a loaf of bread, or a big 40's style goon named "Pinch" (for pinch runner) or a soccer-themed villain named "Sweeper". Or you could take a page from Stan Lee's book and design characters based on sports team names. You could design a team based around chess pieces or poker cards, or built around transforming NASCAR vehicles, or ... really, just about anything, so long as it's in some way related to something sporty! Just, you know, try to come up with something better than Superpro:

The rules are the same as usual:

  • 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).

Good luck, everyone!

    Anybody notice that in the corner image he’s holding the rifle pistol-style but changes to a semi-normal grip in the main image? He must be a lousy sniper.

    Does hoverboarding count as a sport?

    This was done as a tribute to one of my favorite movies. I know that it needs some work, but it was mainly done for fun.

  3. Syntax says:

    I currently do not have accounts on any image site and I don’t like just giving out my info all willy-nilly, any way I can post the image without joining one?

  4. Debochira says:

    I’m gonna sit this one out. As a video gamer, I know next to nothing about sports other than “You catch or hit this ball, then run.” Maybe the next contest (assuming I haven’t missed it already. There are 77 contests after all.) could be creating a character based on a video game but isn’t an actual character in the game?

  5. Syntax says:

    That would be rather difficult considering the many different genres and styles of videogames. Besides, it isn’t all that hard to just look up a particular sport and make something from that.

  6. LionStar says:

    I give you: The Children
    In a world that is quite literally falling apart,liesure activities are myths, and children are automatically born into their adolescent stages. Everyone in this world is born with the same face and born asexually. A group of “Children” stumble upon a long abandoned croquet arena. They don futuristic uniforms and challenge the Celestial of thier world to a winner-takes-all game of croquet in order for the people of their world to have a chance to learn what it means to grow and die in peace.

  7. Jeff Hebert says:

    Like Syntax said, you don’t really have to know anything about sports. Pick a cool team name — “The Miami Heat”, for instance — and do something heat-related. Not too complicated.

  8. Jeff Hebert says:

    Syntax, as long as you can get the image on a web site I can get to without having to sign up for anything, go for it. For instance, if you have your own web space or something. Or even Facebook, if you make the image public.

  9. Syntax says:

    Don’t have a website of my own, nor any place where I could post the image. Maybe I could convince my mom to post it to her Facebook,but I doubt it. If all else fails maybe I could try emailing the file, I have to redo the image anyway since I misread the description and made a scene from an actual sport instead of a superhero.

    Of course I could always just tweak it a little and say it’s a superhero.

  10. Whit says:

    @Syntax–you could join the UGO message board for HeroMachine users. (Someone with a clearer head than mine right now pass on how to do so?)

  11. Jeff Hebert says:

    There are dozens of free sites for posting images, including the UGO Boards as Whit said, but Syntax has indicated he or she is unwilling to join any of them. There’s not much I can do with that.

    @Syntax(10): Don’t worry about making it a superhero. The contest includes any sport-themed imagery. And if you have seen past contests some people can really stretch the boundaries of the given theme. Your sport scene would actually be hitting it right on the head.

  21. Nick Hentschel says:

    i’d sworn that I wouldn’t get involved in these contests anymore, but I just can’t resist a bad pun. So think back to horror-anthology titles like “House of Mystery” and “House of Secrets,” and get ready for a good groan….

    “Somewhere on the South Side of Chicago, not in *baddest* part of town, but the weirdest, you will see the dangdest thing yet: a young man in Cubs Gear (right down to the shoes!), playing a string bass on the sidewalk, and raisin’ up a storm. No one knows how a blond-haired, blue-eyed white boy learned to play like that, but he IS good, and you can feel something in the air as he plays, like the street itself, the stones that the skyscrapers were built on, the spirits that still live in them, are clapping along.”
    “And you just might be right.”
    “This young man lives for the two things that make his city great: the Cubs, and the Blues. For while he wanted to play when he was young, the closest he ever got is his day job, sellin’ peanuts at Wrigley. It turned out that music was his gift, and that’s a hard way to make a living. And worse still, as our gifts are also our burdens, his talent comes at price: he has not just the Touch, but the Sight.”
    “Every ghost in the city, they say, seems to stop by to hear him play. The scariest, meanest spirits and haunts stop when he plays to them, and every one of them has a story to tell? Al Capone’s victims? he knows them all by name? Resurrection Mary? He’s got her on speed-dial. And if you ever hear the voice of your lost, loved ones again after they’ve gone, it may be a soft touch while he plays. And they ALL have stories to tell.”
    “He’ll tell you, if you ask (and if you tip well). And if you’re haunted, TRULY haunted, he may just be the only man who can help you.”
    “Ask the staff at Wrigley where to find him. Then pull up stool, be generous in the tip jar, and maybe bring your instrument and play along. ANd get ready to hear a hell of a tale of Chicago’s streets, and maybe more.”

    “Most people don’t bother to learn his name, but on the street, they call him… the First Bassman.” 😉

    Oops! I forgot to give the image a name: it should be something like, “Nick-FirstBassman.jpg” or something like that? I really AM out of practice with these contests!

    No worries, Nick, Facebook gives them long number names anyway, nothing you can do about it. I just manually change Facebook entries as I get them. So you’re good to go.

  25. Phatchick says:

    We’ve all heard the tales; a demon and sometimes even the Devil himself challenging a mortal to a sporting competition with a stake of riches vs the mortal’s soul. And let’s face it, the Devil does not play fair. For instance, how’s a guy suppose to keep his mind on the game when there’s a hot succubus in a cheerleader’s outfit cheering on Old Nick?

    I should probably got to hell or wrose for this, BUT, as I’ve explained, I can’t resist a bad joke.
    Thinking about the ridiculous, vaguely sport-connected name of a favorite movie, I suddenly got an idea perhaps too weird to be funny: for an ungodly hybrid of “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and “The Baseball Bunch,” a super-lame-O cartoon show where anthropomorphic planets in atheltic headgear would try to get kids interested in sports. A truly *awful* concept, with grownups trying pitifully to reach out to kids, and instead, creeping them out so bad that they need therapy. So, with a slight spelling change to the name (to avoid legal trouble), I give you…. THE SPACEBALLZ!

  42. Fuzztone says:

    English soccer teams have dull names. Leeds United. Manchester City. Accrington Stanley. Yet they often have interesting nicknames. Take Manchester United, the most successful English club ever. Known as “The Red Devils”, they’ve won every trophy that there is to be won, often in incredible circumstances. Last minute goals, penalties, sendings off… the drama never stops. It never has a chance to, because games involving the United seem to go on for longer than the regular 90 minutes. So much overtime is played, in fact, and goals scored so often that it’s known as “Fergie Time”, after the club manager. Why this happens is a mystery – is the referee intimidated by the crowd or the manager? Does the occasion get to them?

    Or is that they’ve had a half-time visit from the Red Devil herself? She’s a lovely girl. A voice like caramel, skin like silk, leaving the scent of vanilla, and cinnamon; all underpinned with a whiff of sulphur and the knowledge of what really constitues foul play. Can someone call the Doctor? The referee’s had an awful accident….

    Here’s my entry. I hope I’ve taken a unique spin on it.

    Capture the Flag, Orc Player:

    In a world that is only now becoming civilised, many violent races wish war on neighbouring lands. Unfortunately for those races, they are all part of the United Races, an allied collection of the most dominant powers in the world. War is out of the question. Luckily, sport has come to the rescue. Now battles for land are fought in an immense playing field. Teams representing each member of the United Races fight to claim the objective of the game: the Flag. Aside from bringing the flag back to base, there are no rules: no red cards, no time outs. If a player dies on the field, hard luck. No race has perfected the use of brute force in this game like the Orcs have. They’re currently ranking top on the UR League Leaderboard.

    Capture the Flag, Bjorn Hammerhorn:

    While only the main races have teams entered in the League, the United Races allow other creatures to enter, and be hired by one of the main species. Undoubtedly the most successful of these minor race players is Bjorn Hammerhorn, Minotaur Legend and URL Superstar. He recently completed a rather tremendous 2 year contract with the Dwarven team, and is expected to cause a stir when the next transfer window comes around.
