Wednesday Night Special Anime/Manga Challenge #3 “Vampire” Poll

Here is your chance  to vote for the best Character.

[polldaddy poll="6863903"]

Poll Position: Blue Beetle vs Darkhawk

Blue Beetle vs Darkhawk

This weeks Poll Position pits the "sentient power armor" wearing Blue Beetle, against the Andriod body replacing Darkhawk!

 

[polldaddy poll="6860788"]

 

Looking at these two combatants I find it slightly difficult to pick a winner at first blush. Both characters are similarly armored, both sport heavy weapon capability and both of them  are flight capable. I however am going to give the win to Blue Beetle simply because if the need arises the armor itself can take over and becomes a far more savage fighter which I believe gives the edge to the Beetle.

 

That's my stance, whats is yours ? Tell us below and don't forget to leave your vote on the poll!

Character Contest #H08 “Atlantis Revealed” Winner

There were a lot of great entries this week. Seeing what other people think about a subject like Atlantis is very cool. Everyone looks through a different window in life, it is hard to picture what others see, until you you are able to see the picture they have in their minds. And I believe that HM allows us to do just that. I narrowed it down to the top six this week. Here they are in no particular order.

Atlantian_zps4ee71201 Kellkin

Kellkin- Is becoming one of the fast rising stars here in HM. This is a wonderful design. Great colors for the character, they make her standout. Very nicely designed background.

Jr19759-This is a very strong character. A very well put together design.

 

 

djuby-atlantis

Djuby- What can I say, your character made me hungry for some crab legs. lol  Great job with the legs and the transition from the legs to the body.

 

 

headlessgeneral-AtlanteanRoyalBodyguard

Headlessgeneral- Characters like this make me wonder about the designs you could come up with if you had a head. Great work. He looks like he is ready to take on anything that would come his way.

 

 

scatmanaphenaantlantian

Scatman- Wow, she is great, one of the better tail designs I've seen on HM.

 

 

scatmanatlanteans1

Scatman- You are making a habit of having more than one of your characters hit the top list. Great colors and design.

 

 

The winner for this week is Scatman. Great work.

I would like to thank my wife for helping me judge these contest. Everyone's characters were great. I would love to have the time to set down and do a write up on each character, but at this time I do not have the time. Just because your character was not included in the top list doesn't mean that I did not like it.

 

 

 

 

Character Contest #H09 “Horror Movie”

This week you need to design the main character of your very own Horror Movie. Scare us with the scariest character out there. You have to make us want to go out and get a loan so we can see the movie.

How to have you character disqualified:

#1-Not naming the file correctly. Have your name first and then your character's name (just like the picture included shows), in the file's name.

#2-Unable to right click and save. If the site you have your character on will not allow me to right click and save your character, I will not enter it in the contest.

Please follow these rules there are to many wonderful characters that may lose out.

Quick and Easy Challenge #6 “Smart Phone” Winner

All of the entries were great. It was hard to narrow it down to just one winner. But there was one that I had to keep going back to look at. It was one of those that stood out. With the smart phones today there is nothing out there safe from cameras anymore, and I could so see this one sweeping the Internet. Great job everyone. This week's winner is Luc.

Weekend Open Critique Day #H9

Another open critique day is under way. Show us what you have been working on all week. Ask for help and guidance. We are here for you.

Quick and Easy Challenge #6 “Smart Phone”

Happy Saturday morning everyone. Today's challenge is to us the smart phone in the picture below as a frame for your art work. The phone is maxed out at 999x999, and that is what yours needs to be also. The biggest part of you image needs to fit within the screen of the phone. As you can see I let the companion's hand come off of the screen to make her look as if she was coming out of the phone (at least that is what I was hoping for). It doesn't matter what you design as long more then 90% stays within the screen of the phone.

What do you think?

I came across a good topic last night for share day.  J.J. Abrams could be the director of the new Star Wars films by Disney. Can he do both Star Wars and Star Trek? He is a very good director and I think he can pull it off, but some people are asking the question. That is in the same realm as actors playing more then one comic book character. It has been done, not always on a good note but it has been done. I would love to talk to him about an idea that I have had for years, it deals with a cross over of the three great "Stars", Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica . I would love to see that one hit the big screen, but back to the question at hand. What do you think, can he pull it off? Some rumors are that the new Star Wars will start with an older Luke running a Jedi Academy, and others say that it will be a complete new set of characters. I forgot the name of the book I read a long time ago, but it was about Han and Leia's twin's adventures when they were at the academy. That would be a cool way to go. Let us know what you think.
