Your character design challenge for this week is to come up with an image with HeroMachine based on the idea of the Zodiac sign "Gemini". Now, it just so happens that Gemini is my sign, so you better make it good! Pretty much anything around the idea of "twins" would make sense, or you could play off the NASA Gemini space program, or you could make a psychotic killer with multiple personalities, or you could play up the Roman origins of Castor and Pollux, upon whom the sign is based. Or something totally different, the possibilities are endless and creativity is worth bonus points!
The point is, you should use the concept of Gemini as a springboard for character creation, rather than feeling unduly bound by the restrictions it imposes. Let that imagination run wild, child!
To help you out, here's a bit on the history of the name from Wikipedia:
[Castor and Pollux] were both excellent horsemen and hunters who participated in the hunting of the Calydonian Boar and later joined the crew of Jason's ship, the Argo. During the expedition of the Argonauts, Pollux took part in a boxing contest and defeated King Amycus of the Bebryces, a savage mythical people in Bithynia. After returning from the voyage, the Dioskouroi helped Jason and Peleus to destroy the city of Iolcus in revenge for the treachery of its king Pelias.
The contest rules are the same as usual:
- Use only a HeroMachine applet (no PhotoShopping except for basic cropping) to create a PNG or JPG of your entry, named as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Post the image to a publicly accessible website (ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, etc.).
- Enter the name of your entry and a link directly to the image in a comment to this post. The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest.
- The link to your image should go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). If you see "preview" or "rotate" somewhere in the link you're probably doing it wrong.
- I'll choose a winner next Monday, who will receive his or her choice of any item or a portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program, or a "Sketch of the Week" style black and white illustration (you pick the subject and I draw it up however I like).
No limit on entries this week, so knock yourselves out. Good luck everyone!

Here’s my entry: http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc460/Defesh/Gemini.jpg?t=1306764952
The enigmatic Don Gemini: Originally the cold hearted Mafia assassin called Castor for the way he positioned his victims after death to match the Castor side of the Gemini constellation. As he got older however, he lost his strength and agility, and underwent a satanic ritual to regain his youth. Initially it was a success, and he used his newfound youth to do something he had wanted to do his whole life; become a boxer. His new persona became known as Pollux for his habit of fighting opponents higher up the weight classes and winning spectacularly. He used his fame and public image as a front for his work both as the leader of the family and it’s prime enforcer, but eventually he had to pay his dues. When the demon he made the deal with came to claim his soul. Gemini, as he was now calling himself within the family, challenged the demon to a boxing match for freedom from the contract. He was doing poorly after the first round, and decided to cheat. He hid a knuckle duster in his pocket and pulled it near the end of the second round, knocking the demon out. The demon conceded that GeminI had won, but because he cheated, the demon only let him keep half of his youth. The side that dealt the winning blow was aged back to his original elderly state. Left like this, he could no longer effectively enforce for his family, so he retreated into the darkness and continued to run it from the background.
Great job on LUNAR, unknownblackpaper!

Man there asome really good ones here, I was actually working on two sets of twins a while back. I’ll see which ones I like better and try and get back here and post it. Good work guys and gals keep it coming.
@Helen: Welcome! Hope you have as much fun with Heromachine and this community as I have over the years.
A hint on file names: when you name your file, name it Helen-whatfilenameyouwant.jpg or .png or whatever. Using your name in the file name the way I described makes it much easier for Jeff to keep track of files.
Looking forward to seeing more of your creations. 🙂
I see Im not the only one who stays up late. Here goes, I made these guys and tried to go back to add stuff to make a scene for the contest but didnt work out right so I cleaned it back and left it as the characters alone. Hope you guys like. Kinda went with my own version of a double dragon take if anyone even remembers that game but I thought it may apply here.

I don’t know about you guys, but I am really curious as to what the Zodiac Commando for Gemini will look like…
My First Entry.
Jolly Rodgers
In the late 1700 years in the Caribbeans there was 2 famous and fearless Pirate. There nickname is The Jolly Rodgers JOanna and GiLLY Rodgers are twins and very dangerous in that era. The two sisters was be the one first woman pirates and captains whose terrorize the the british marine ships, other pirates and especially the traders ships. They collect a lot of gold, and jewels.
The two sister within a short time they will be so rich, but in the sea they find a very big, and strong enemy. The enemy ship is very fearless and all of the people only whispering the name of the Flying Dutchman. The Captain of the ship very angry for the sisters, and set his monster the Kraken to destroy they ship. After the attack the two sister and the Poison Rose was mysteriously disappear.
Someone think it to they survive and go back for England with alias, and they live happily with that big gold what they collect. But there is others whose thinking they be the crew members of the Flying Dutchman. No one know what is the truth…..
Ps. 1. : This is my tribute for the Pirates, and the Pirates of the Caribbens Movies.
Ps. 2.: Jeff i need to use a little Ms. Paint to make the picture, because when i rotate and transform the picture and want to be export the picture always jump back for the original scale and position. So i use print screen and save the picture in Ms. Paint.

(Sorry the image is cutoff. Would it be better if I fixed it to make it wider?)
First entry! (I’m new to this contest thing…)
Went with a design based on Castor and Pollux, specifically the version where one is immortal and the other mortal. As they are excellent riders it made sense for them to be mounted; I don’t have time to do more to the horse, but it’s not really the focus!

Wings
http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz360/engetsunoaori/unknownblackpaper-wings.png
Gemini is an air sign, so I went with it. I really do not view Gemini as being two beings who are identical or even polar opposites, the rather two halves of a whole, so to speak. So with this image I I tried to add contrast with the two characters in the image with playing with the shapes and colors of the wings, but using this difference in the shapes to create a line for the eye to follow.
This time me inspire the fantasy von Michael Ende: die unendliche Geschichte(never ending story). Here you can see two sphinx(or southern oracle) defend the mirror of the truth. I am in the mirror(yes that´s me) and my fantasy are out and watching me. Twins side by side and twins in front. The anger, the wisdom, the desire and the reason. They are all different character but they can not exist without the other part.

@Zaheelee #43 – Thanks for the support! It’s great to have a fan. My Gemini is started, but it still has a ways to go. It took me a while to come up with a concept for this one.

Gemini Force:
When the beautiful elven princess Tamara found out she had been randomly chosen by the mysterious entity known as the Gemini Force, she was thrilled. The idea of becoming the world’s protector was great. That was until she found out that her partner, randomly selected by the Gemini Force, was none other than the vicious Dread Prawn known as Malacath. Now she has no choice but to travel the world with this monster, attempting to keep it under control.

Thanks to Zaheelee, dutchman, and Kaylin88100 for their support. And a special shout-out to The Fish #8! I was struggling with this concept until his Don Gemini entry sparked the split-face idea that eventually became the classic Mission Impossible latex-mask-reveal that I went with.
MLS (86): Nice job on the Gemini entry. I think this is my favorite Zodiac Commando yet.
Thanx Myro. I’m fond of this one myself; like Mr. H, Gemini is my sign.
Incidentally, I liked the way you made spats on your ventriloquist. Clever. I’m going to steal that technique one day.

Nazvik and Annabeth
They are twins, who were once the Elven Prince and Princess. One day, they were wondering through the forest and got sucked into a black hole where they were taken to the very far future. They discovered that the black hole had given them clothes and weapons suitable to that time, as well as giving them a telepathic link. So now they try to get home again. Though, they were born with those fiery hands, and it was a good enough weapon for the future.

Here is a character I am working on that I’m pushing into the Gemini contest. A werewolf super monk with ramped up ki powers. I am playing on the duality of the Gemini sign so hopefully this fits.
If I can get to it I will create a full illustration, but just in case I’m putting him in now so I don’t forget (like last time).

GEMINI SISTERS – The Gemini Sisters are the children of the Greek gangster Johnny Gemini and the Japanese assassin Toshi Kimura. One inherited their father’s perverse sense of humor and gift for strategy, the other their mother’s iron-willed ruthlessness. One is an expert marksman and the other a master of ninja weaponry. Together they are unstoppable.

Brains and Brawn
Twins born with the same DNA but different on so many levels. One was a top researcher at CalTech. The other was a hit man for the mob. After a horrific accident left him unable to live without the aid of his technology the “mad genius” decided to use his advanced technology…and his brother’s easily manipulated mind, to become an unstoppable crime duo

I dunno why but when I saw this contest I instantly thought of half-man, half-woman, one body. I also thought of conjoined twins, but that’s done already. I’ve never entered a contest before but the ideas kept bugging me one night. This is the result. I have to say, it’s harder than it looks as there isn’t much clothing that is halved. XD So here I present, Gabe and Gabby Gemini!
Being fraternal twins is hard enough when you look enough alike that people ask if you’re identical. Especially if you’re two different genders and have the last name Gemini. Gabe and Gabby now have to share a body after a freak accident fused them together! (Not to mention custom clothing can get expensive as Gabby is a bit of a fashionista.) Deciding not to let that get in their way, they decided to join the Zodiac Commandos! Gabby takes out anyone who gets past her brother’s gun with a blade fan while Gabe keeps his enemies at a distance with his sub-machine gun. Together (whether they like it or not) the Gemini twins are unstoppable!
((Sorry if that is a fully automatic. Not a gun expert.))

Here is my entry of this week
THE ARCANE FIRE TWINS
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/EASa1y3wCTQxasEyhyazcg?feat=directlink
I like medieval characters, and built a fire specialists elf sisters.
Hope you enjoy!
This is Castor and Pollux, natives of Mercury who crash landed on earth. Their names unpronounceable by humans, they were named after the twins of Greek mythology. After crash landing they agreed to trade knowledge of space flight with the United States government in exchange for a ride back home. This happened under the guise of the NASA space program, PROJECT GEMINI.
I would have liked to do more with this, but had to rush to be sure to make the deadline.

sorry could you keep poles open, I’ve got entries but I need sleep so can’t post them now

Two trains of thought on this one …
Twins seperated and one being cut in two …
Couldn’t decide so went with both.

Castor & Pollux — brother and sister — Castor is a being of living fire and Pollux is a being of living water.
(I wanted to make it seem as if they were glowing from within — but ran into the dreaded time constrants)

This is my attempt at showing what would happen if a “hulk-like” character tried to co-exist with his mild mannered side and the two became trapped as one.

Gemini – Elusive, complex and contradictory. Despite their dual-nature personalities, the twins are inseparable.
It was they who first discovered the energy which transported the Zodiac to earth, from their viewing realm. Whereby they landed in the grounds of a country retreat and remained amongst the trees, stealing the odd bits and pieces from passers by.
Until that is they assisst Aries chasing down a escaped crimanal, and they join with the other Zodiac once more

A prison convoy, all week they’ve been transporting the worst of the worst to The Fortress – the new maximum security facility build especially for them. However this last delivery isn’t to be as uneventfull as the rest. Pulse of blue energy hit the road, triking one of the trucks. Another pulse, crystalises rock and projects it, trough the door and into the holding the carrier – where it bonds with the carried and grants him terrifying new powers. He frees his restraints from the holding wall, and escapes into the night.
He could have disappeared, never be seen again, but that’s just not his style. So when the morning comes he makes sure to be seen, by breaking into the Fortress.
Speed, strength, energy pulses similar to those that struck the convey… I feel sorry for any guard who’s two days from retirement
