Congratulations to Count Libido, the winner of Caption Contest 6! Here’s his entry:

This is the second Mentos reference made on this blog, apparently I have a weakness for the stuff even though I’ve never had one. Strange. Anyway, I’ll be working with the good Count this week on his custom illustration. Look for your chance to win your very own black and white custom drawing by yours truly in the weekly HeroMachine Caption Contest!

Cameron and I have finished work on his prize for winning Caption Contest 5, the dual-aspect character Creature:Blackout. Here’s Cameron’s description:

The characters name is “Creature: Blackout”, and he’s a super-powered mercenary in the world of Aberrant. Costume wise, he wears a featureless white lycra bodysuit that also coveres his face, removing all facial featurs but his eyes (egg-face is also an appropriate name). When he uses his powers, six shadowy, black tentacles manifest from his back, and his whole image changes from a featureless humanoid to a horrific creature whose image is so terrifying as to be capable of driving people permenantly mad (especially his face). His other main power is the ability to generate a large inky blacknesss that can envelope large areas and induce a state of sensory deprivation in which only his horrific imaghe is visible, allowing him to ensnare and affect large numbers of people and this has also lead to his name.

I’d like an image of his leaping towards the viewer in his horrific visage (I always visualised it as a kind of flayed-human kind of image) with tentacles writhing.

And here’s what we came up with for the illustration:

If you want to win your very own custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason), you can enter Caption Contest 6:Hicks and Chicks, going on now! But you’d better bring your A game, because the entries there already are pretty stellar.

Here’s your weekly Caption Contest challenge:

I’m starting a new rule this week – no more than three entries per person per contest.

The prize for the winning entry is a free custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason). To enter, make a comment below containing the dialog you would put in this scene. For example:

Top Word Balloon: Welcome back to “Dancing With the Undead Stars!” I’m your hostess, Draculette. Before the break,
Middle Word Balloon:poor Clark here gave quite a tasty performance, but he’s just been voted off.
Bottom Word Balloon: Permanently.

Put on those thinking caps and come up with your best funny line and you too could win your very own professional illustration!

The winning for Caption Contest 5 is … Cameron Malcher!

Congratulations Cameron, and many thanks to all of the fine entrants.

Mark Shute, the winner of Caption Contest 4, has approved the illustration he won for entering. Can you tell that Mark likes a certain school while despising another? It’s tricky to spot, but look carefully and I bet you’ll see what I mean:

If you want to win your own free custom black and white illustration of whatever you like (within reason), you can take a crack at Caption Contest 5:Chimps and Androids, now running!
