TheNate has approved his prize for winning Caption Contest 64, and it is now live in HeroMachine 3 under the Insignia-Standard set:
It works well either as a straight Native American style chest symbol, or if you scale it up and make it somewhat transparent, it can serve as a great body tattoo. Nice suggestion, Nate, thanks!
I am finally getting to the many back-logged contest prizes I owe people. The first to get approved is this Rocketeer-styled aviator jacket for Ian’s Caption Contest 67 victory:
When I get to converting all the various Male tops over to the Female template, this one will go along with them.
Thanks for the request Ian, I think it’s a great addition!
In honor of the wee-inducing release of the Iron Man 2 trailer today, Character Contest 29 challenges you to come up with the best “Power Armor” character you can. If you are chosen as the winner, you’ll get either any item you like, or a portrait of yourself, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release.
Contest rules are simple:
I’ll pick the Finalists next Monday, though this time we’ll go back to the old system of me just picking the Honorable Mentions and overall winner, by request in the comments.
No limit on entries this week so knock yourself out!
Congratulations to our Finalists for Caption Contest 71! You can vote for as many as you think are award-worthy until next Monday, when the overall top vote getter will receive their choice of either a portrait of themselves, or any item they like, to be included in HeroMachine 3. Good luck!
Congratulations to Kaldath for winning Character Contest 28 with his unusually-posed “Spider-Cat”, daughter of Spider-Man and Black Cat:
We’re at the point of needing to rename this the Kaldath Award, I think. Congratulations to him and to all the great entrants for that contest, it was some really nice work.
The ability to blow up stuff at a distance is key for most super-powered comics characters, and the mighty beings in charge of the multi-dimensional Olympian Games would surely not leave the testing of such a skill off the event roster. And so we now ask you to consider the following (vote for three):
I don’t want to prejudice the voting, but you by all means should do so in the comments. Make the case for your choices and bend the will of other readers to your own! Feel the POWER of the dark side!
Thanks to everyone who voiced their opinion in the Olympian Games’ Swimming Competition! On behalf of Main Man Hammerknight, I am happy to report the following characters are our winners:
Gold Medal: Aquaman (DC)
Silver Medal: Namor the Sub-Mariner (Marvel)
Bronze Medal: Blue from Hellboy (Dark Horse)
Finally a publisher other than DC or Marvel breaks onto the medal stand! After three events, Marvel and DC are still tied, with four medals apiece, while Dark Horse makes their first move with one.
I am happy for Aquaman since, let’s be honest, he doesn’t have a lot going for him other than swimming ability. I mean, can you imagine Namor bothering to talk with a flounder or a herring? I think not.
ETA: Forgot the title. Oops.
Once again, your biggest challenge in coming up with funny replacement dialog for this comics panel is going to be keeping it clean enough to pass the censors:
The rules are simple:
Good luck everyone! The funniest replacement dialog will win either a portrait of the writer, or any item they choose, for inclusion with HeroMachine 3. Entries close next Monday.
Many thanks to everyone for the great entries in Character Contest 27: Child Of! Before I put up the poll for the Finalists, I wanted to highlight a couple of illustrations that didn’t really fit into the voting category, but nonetheless had something unique that merited attention.
Congratulations to TopHat, winner of Caption Contest 70 for this entry:
TopHat, let me know what you’d like as your prize, and congratulations again for the laugh!
