Well with only 9 days left to the deadline for FNF entries and Not a single entry being received as of yet I have decided to extend the deadline to February 27th at 7 am Eastern Times. This gives everyone an extra week to work on your monsters! Remember Jeff is offering up a prize for the winner of this contest, however if I do not get a minimum of 20 entrants I will pull the plug on it, and will likely retire FNF for good ( at least from running them myself ) .

Sometimes the wellspring of invention runs dry and you need some help coming up with a cool concept for a character to design. If that happens to you, or if you're just looking for a challenge, experience what it's like to take someone else's vision and bring it to life. Head on over to Reddit's "Character Drawing" subreddit and look for entries marked "[LFA]" (Looking For Art). People give descriptions of their characters and you can reply with your version.
If you do, please tell them you came from HeroMachine and give the link. Also, I'd love to hear about it as well.
Good luck and have fun creating!

Ok guys, I've finished putting together this years Creators Club poster. First, I'd like to thank all the creators who entered, seeing all your work was really awesome. Sorry, a few people didn't send me the text files for their entries so they didn't end up on the poster (I struggled to fit everyone on as it is).
You might want to open it in a new tab to see it in more detail. Funny thing is, the poster was much bigger than it ended up whilst I was creating it, something must have got compressed during the export, so sorry about that.
If anyone else wants to do next years poster, I'm ok with that, but otherwise I'll try to come up with an interesting theme for this time next year.

Ok guys, back to the OS challenges, and this week I want you to create an elemental hero or villain, that is a character that can control some sort of elemental power (e.g. Fire). Your character can be modern, silver or golden age in style, but I want to see them using their powers, so fire effects, bolts of electricity, jets of water, all that stuff.
As usual, no entry limit and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). The winner gets to claim a custom made item from dblade to be put into heromachine, so long as the item conforms to his prize rules, which you can find here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/dblades-whiz-bang-item-dispenser/. Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: 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. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to 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.
