CDC #394 – Songs of the Season

Taking a seasonal break from heroes and villains, your 2 week design challenge is to create a rendering using HM3 based on a piece of music associated with the holiday season.

Feel like tackling the nativity in Silent Night? A certain red nosed reindeer? The melancholy of Auld Lang Syne? A rousing dreidel game? Now’s your chance.

The winner will be announced on New Year’s Eve, and that winner will receive a one of a kind custom made hero…or villain…of themselves…designed by me.

Please follow the instructions below regarding the naming of entries.

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.

  • No copyrighted characters please – they will be deleted.
