We've done "Fantasy" as a character design contest before, so this time let's go for the other Big Daddy category: Science Fiction! Your challenge is to come up with the coolest or best science-fiction-themed character possible, whether that's an apocalyptic death-dealing cyborg or the hardbitten starship captain or the wistfully funny green alien seductress, or anything else you can come up with.
The contest will run for one week, with the winner announced next Tuesday. The person with the best design will win the option of having either their caricature or any one item of their choosing included with the final HeroMachine 3 product. Everlasting fame, how sweet is that?!
- You can enter as many times as you want, but to be eligible, you must leave your entry as a comment to this post, and include a link to view the image on a public web server somewhere (i.e. ImageShack.com, PhotoBucket.com, the UGO Forums, etc.).
- No PhotoShopping or other image manipulation allowed with the exception of basic cropping.
- You must use some version of HeroMachine for your image.
Good luck!

Hey Jeff,
Didn’t know if you had seen this yet or not but I thought you would like this.

I’m not really a sci-fi person, but I’ll give it a shot.
These three entries are a series of heroes i have made up:
Phantom started out as a teenager: Alan Wolff who got bit by a snake and instead of being given the antidote he was given the “phantom” serum by accident, created by Dr. Carn, an evil doctor who wanted ultimate power

Phantasma is Phantom’s sidekick, she gained her powers when she kissed Alan while he was in his Phantom form.
http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa275/inuyasha031/Phantasma.jpg
and finally Poltregiest, the second form of Phantom, whenver Phantom needs a power boost against powerful enemies, he changes into the poltregiest who despite his brute force and his devilish look, is good

Thanks DJ. I generally am not in favor of confrontation like that. That may make me a coward, but dude was there working and doing his thing, I don’t think it’s cool to hose that up. I don’t begrudge him making a living, and I don’t want to hassle people while they’re working, even if I think he’s not a good artist. Or writer.
I do the stuff I do because a) I think it’ll help educate people on what is and is not good comics and b) it’s funny and fun, and c) criticism (even biting criticism) in print is a long-standing part of the art world in all its permutations. Getting up in a guy’s grille in a public forum like that is a step too far, for me anyway.

This is Sgt. Sean O’Hara. He comes from a long line of Irish cops. He is Star Stalker’s mentor, partner, and pilot.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=81736&l=24476abaa7&id=1815191475
Following a brutal, near fatal torture session, O’Hara is left for dead. Star Stalker finds O’Hara in time to take him to a hospital and saves his life. Although O’Hara’s body is beyond repair, doctors manage to save what is left of his head. Future technology allows the doctors to attach O’Hara’s head onto an artificial body equipped with “optional features”. The new body is powered by a fusion reactor located in the chest cavity, surperhumanly strong,and is darn near indestructible. His new eye has telephoto, thermographic capabilities, and can see in total darkness. His artificial ears give him superhuman hearing. The metal skull cap protects his brain. The new body keeps what is left of O’Hara’s head alive, and allows O’Hara to continue working.
One more thing abot Sgt. O’Hara: He kept his facial scar because “I earned it.”
Heh, what a coincidence, Jeff! Just yesterday I made a sci-fi character with HM3 – guess I can post that then 😀

Power Fist
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e83/Kaios12/PowerFist.jpg
Power Fist is part of a once powerful race called Nenartamalians. They were ruthless conquerors but one day they confronted the peaceful race of the Grumlãs. The Grumlãs defended their people with their powers (a beam of a strange radiation) and found out that they were extremely effective against these enemies. With this knowledge they decided to go against their beliefs in order to protect the whole galaxy of this dangerous race. They exterminated all Nenartamalians. Or so they thought. One Nenartamalian barely survived but with the encounter he became immune to the radiation. He built a powered suit of armor with a huge and powered fist. He then built an army of small robots and wheel-like mini robots to help him destroy the race that was the Reaper of his.

About Deathdrone: Evil aliens declare war on humans, destroying deep space human outposts.

Here is Captain Starsnake, “The Pilot that survived.” He and 4 other astronauts set off on a space mission to study the air on Mars, but while the ship was on auto pilot as the crew slept, the ship crashed into a meteor due to a mechanical fault and therefore exploded. The rest of Marcus Spyke’s crew died as they were not wearing helmets, however the brave Pilot had managed to grab his helmet and shove it on just before he got blasted into oblivion. Mark space- swam to Mars- the team had been so close- and met Other Life on Mars. The Other Life were similar to humans in many ways, and a few spoke English.
After showing the Martians technological advances we have on earth, he was nominated Captain of the MPF (Mars Police Force) and also led space missions to Earth and other nearby planets.
He was named Captain Starsnake because if you look very carefully, you can see a snake’s face in his chest armour, and also because he protects the stars of Mars.
