I think it MIGHT be fun to discuss Good Idea/Bad Execution (and vice versa )issues
Like Amalgam- cool idea fuse two different characters to get a new one, BUT They relied TOO MUCH on the visuals of each character to pull off the new one!

Do you mean, why or why not a hybrid of two characters would work? If so we can look into it. I would have to see if it would be crossing the copyright line or not. But I could do one for Mythical Creatures without any worries.
With the resurrection of the Character Design Challenge and Pop Quiz, I’m pretty good. I like that the Forums are buzzing.
Discussing “Amalgams” and “What Ifs” would be fun. As long as we’re talking about what we like, don’t like, or would like to see without posting any pictures of copyright or non-public domain characters. “Fan fiction” tends to be a rather gray area. Understandable that Jeff or the moderators might reject the idea.
I would like to see some collaborations. Match two or more HMers together to create characters or a storyline. One person could design the hero; the other the villain. Or, one person writes the character story; the other designs the character. Etc.; etc.
Open Critique and Sharing Day are fun. Can’t think of much else to add. As I see it, Jeff is on a much deserved sabbatical / hiatus and we need to find volunteers / interns / part-timers to pick up the blog. Unfortunately, I can’t dedicate that much time right now. The reactor is in full meltdown and I can see China through the hole. :/
I plan on doing the Open Critique, I just have not decided which day yet. A sharing Day can be added also. As for “Amalgams”, that is why I was thinking more a long the line of Mythical creature, something that would be a great RPG type of character. Collaborations would be great too. Kaldath and I are putting our heads together to find stuff to keep the blog busy, so any input is great.

Well, yes, but I was hoping to get a wider scope than that
ie the modern Wonder Woman movie
Catwoman with Hallie Berry
Amalgam and Tangent
Really anything that COULD HAVE been “GOOD” if it was handled
Better what I was going for!
I love having open blogs for people to be able to just talk and share more. I enjoy the random pannels from old comics, kinda like what I have in my randomness folder. I love having the drawing contest and prizes. Don’t really care for the caption contest but their okay. I dunno what else really. I have rather enjoyed the way things have been on here and how they are progressing. As long as HM keeps running I guess I will be okay. Otherwise you might find me in the fetal position in a corner of a dark room going into withdrawls.
@Keric we could do a likes/dislikes of movies and the likes. We just would not be able to post images. The forums are also a good place to look for stuff like this.
A cool challenge would be to give us a character, be it from Comics, Sci-Fi, Horror, ect. and have us make it in our own style. But it has to have characteristics of the original character.

That would be cool,”BUT” we have to remember the copyright laws.

Well, TOOL, you might want to frequent the Forums for your talk & sharing needs.

I like the good/bad-idea/execution.
