Your Character Design Challenge this week is to honour Cliff’s work and contribution to HM by creating an original satyr character.
No limit on number of entries this week.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. Please keep all submissions PG13: full or partial nudity is prohibited. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that have been created solely using Hero Machine, and that you know for certain have never been entered in a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine :,ImageShack , Deviant Art or whatever); Just not Photobucket. Do no use Photobucket.
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- No copyrighted characters please – they will be deleted.
- Please name your filesas [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. 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).
This contest will close at 9am Eastern on Sunday January 14th.
A Satyr character? Is that, that creature that’s half goat half man?
Which image hosting site is good to use? I have Photobucket, but I’ve seen people say they have problems accessing the pictures. Any other site? Looking at Imgur? Any other sites?
I use WordPress. The website allows for direct links to images.

I have a blog there, how would I go about getting a direct link? It has been a Long time since I used the blog or site. lol I will be looking around also, but things are a bit different then when I used it last…that would be about 6 years ago. lol
Here is my entry, went a more comical way with it.

@rossoftheyear – Cannot view your entry. Link leads to a blank page.
Hmmm…. I was able to see it, djuby. Didn’t look very much like a HeroMachine piece, but that may just have been creativity. It was well done, just different! Not sure why you couldn’t get in…
@rossoftheyear – Never mind. Can view it in Explorer, just not in Chrome. Tinypic is, however, full of clickbait and pop ups.
Nice job, rossoftheyear! I’m guessing you mainly used shapes available in backgrounds and insignias along with a couple well placed details like the mouth? That’s an awesome use of HM and thinking outside the box.
Hey, thanks. Yeah, it’s pretty much all insignias with 2 beards and a mouth. So much can be done with using shapes and masking that I can’t even pick out what people use in some of the pieces I see posted.
Not sure why it wasn’t showing up in Chrome considering that’s what I use too, but I’m glad it could be seen.
Can’t edit my comment, but hopefully this is easier to see and doesn’t have ads.

I was using Chrome when I looked at it, too, Ross…
No clue! But, yup, it’s a good picture…
For Cliff…..peace, my friend.

A satyr enjoying all the best satyr things: food, drink, and music.
This one’s for you, Cliff.
