At the prompting of Kaylin88100 and as suggested by dblade (thanks to you both!), we're going to start a new themed set of contests, like the Zodiac ones. Only this time, we're getting medieval on your butt by taking on the Seven Deadly Sins!
Your design challenge for this week is to create a character or characters based on something related to the first of the Deadly Sins, "wrath". Your character could be named wrath, or you could build a cyborg warrior fueled by rage, or a Hulk-like monster consumed with anger, or a young Khan clone ("Wrath of Khan", get it?!), or a big ugly demon creature from the netherworld, or anything else that inspires you when you hear the word. You could build an entire seven-member team of characters named "The Seven Deadly Sins", with Wrath being just the first; that would be kind of fun to keep track of.
But really, it's up to you. Just make a great illustration based on the concept of "wrath".
The rules are the same as usual:
- All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the UGO Forums, whatever);
- Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
- The image cannot have been used in any previous HeroMachine character design contest;
- Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
- Please make the link 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.
- All entries must be in by next Monday, when I'll choose a winner.
The person with the winning entry as selected by our expert panel (i.e. me) will win their choice of a) a portrait to go in HeroMachine 3, b) an item to go in HeroMachine 3, or c) a custom black and white "Sketch of the Day" style drawing (also by me).
Good luck, everyone!

ABSALOM
http://forums.ugo.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=77386&d=1304908287
Alias: Absalom
Real Name: Robert King
Genre: Supervillain
Power(s)/Ability(s): wears bionic suit with various weaponry, armor, and other advancements
Affiliation(s): David King, KingTech
Other Aliases: none
Status: stasis
Bio:
Robert is the only child of billionaire weapons magnate David King. Robert spent his entire life enjoying his father’s money and waiting for the old man to either retire or die so he could step into his considerable shoes and run KingTech, David’s research and development company. But instead of being an active part of the company, Robert used his extravagant allowance to drink, pick up women, gamble, and basically refuse to grow up.
The day finally came when David announced that he had chosen his successor as owner and CEO of KingTech. It was his vice president, Henry Kilpatrick. Shocked and furious that he had been overlooked for someone outside of the King family, Robert immediately voiced his objection, but his always stern father rebuked him, scolding him for a life of laziness.
So, Robert decided that he would seek vengeance on both his father and Kilpatrick, and force his way into power. He convinced several of his friends in the company to design and create a robotic battle suit for him and began going by the name Absalom, for the Biblical character, and started the first of many attempts to murder David and Kilpatrick. But old man King would not have it and, though it broke his already weak heart to do so, he employed the super-mercenary Doomsayer to track and murder his son.
He was successful.

Been a while since iv been on HM. Iv missed it but someone has to pay the bills 😉
I wanted to create a team of characters for this series of contests.
THE SEVEN SINS:
They are seven of the most deadly (and psychotic)individuals in the world. They were all locked away in a maximum security asylum until they broke out and slaughtered every other person there. Now they continue to live in the old abandoned asylum preying on any unfourtunate soul who stumbles upon them.
WRATH:
No man has seen his face and lived. More animal than man, he attacks anything in sight ripping it apart with his imense strength. Even the other Sins think he is too dangerous to let free, so they keep him locked away in an old cell chained to the wall. He never speaks, only grunts and howls, waiting for the day he can be free to feed his inner need…to kill.

Name: Blood Dragon
Real name: unknown, his identity was lost to time.
Powers/Abilities: Expert sword fighter; able to drain the life force of others
Story: Once an accomplished warrior, Blood Dragon was power hungry and believed he deserved all of the power of his superiors, including the king he so proudly served. His plans were known to none save twin mystical dragon-demons who sought the kings death, they granted Blood Dragon the power to drain the life-energy from others to make himself stronger as well as demonic minions to accomplish his mission. He then sought out to complete his plan.
His attack was unexpected by the Knights and their King. All of the kingdoms defences (and and the kingdom itself, for that matter) were completely destroyed in the attack before Blood Dragon reached his destination: The Kings throneroom. The battle was long and exhausting, as neither fighter desired to lose their life. It was not long before The King realized his end. In a last ditch effort, The King unleashed a magical unslaught of power unto Blood Dragon using all of the power he had, destroying them both. The power of the dragons kept Blood Dragon alive, albeit in a death-like state, for centuries before he awoke. Now a rotting corpse, all he has now is the power given to him by the dragons and a thirst for more. All who stand in his way shall know the wrath of The Blood Dragon!

I may make another version with additional trimmings.
Hope nobody mess up because i took a picture with religous motive. I take the picture about the nun in the title for this entry.
Wrath comes to many cold emotions and other fellow men/fellow must feel this. Like a father who beat his kid or argue with his wife.
Wrath destroyed the trust and also his own believe.
The Nun symbolizes this believe, the fire are the wrath and the angry people in there sink in this emotion and take the nun and all the other people with them.

Second entry:
Mutant Hunter, and his Wrath towards the genetically impure.
http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk15/Sulemania/Heromachine/MutantHunterbackground4-1.png
Hey this seems like a fun idea. I’m thinking of making a series of seven deadly sin inspired characters as the concept ties in nicely with a storyline I have lying around. The story centers around a powerful being who is himself the product of a transgressive union between an angel and demon. The combined infernal and celestial lineage resulted in Nexus, a being with nascent demiurgic abilities who has a direct connection with the source of all life in the universe. As such, forces of both Heaven and Hell covet his power and dispatch various agents to capture him. He is a young man, still not completely in control of his titanic abilities and has only his bodyguard Ishmerai (a supernatural Israeli assassin trained almost exclusively to kill paranormal lifeforms) to protect him as they develop. The Seven Deadly Sins would then be agents of Hell sent to dispatch young Nexus; each of them created through dark ritual, fusing millions of the souls of the damned from the infernal circles into a singular being of terrible power. They are named for the sin they embody, and the damned that suffer for it.
This is Wrath, the embodiment of rage and violence. He exists only to destroy, his hands incapable of creation. He takes the appearance of the multi-limbed pagan destroyer gods of old, although he carries none of their wisdom. He cannot be reasoned with. His silent rage does not subside. His cobalt skin absorbs even the strongest impacts and the burning blades that extend from him cut down anything that stands before them. He is destruction incarnate. He is Wrath.

YAY I love seven deadly sins! I use this theme SO much in stories! Anywho, several people have already done this, and I know seven deadly sins just screams super-team, so I thought I’d go a slightly different route. I shall make seven deadly martial arts styles based on the sins. So here’s Wrath Style, based around manipulating your dark and anger into powerful attacks. The longer a practitioner of Wrath Style fights, the more powerful they become.
Punk in alley: “Hey, watch it man! Move unless you wanna get cut!”
Gozumaru: “You are the one who should move if you value your life.”
Punk: “I said get out of my way!” (cut’s Gozumaru with knife)

I went back and changed the background for my angry teddy bear. I think this works much better:
The first version is just a different background:

Jeff my last 2 comments are waiting for moderation, but i think no needed this. Can i ask you to delete for.
Thank you very much.
Here is my second entry this week. Inspiration came from when my son brought home a book from school about Moby Dick. I then put a supervillian spin on it and out came the vengeful AHAB!
http://forums.ugo.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=81651&d=1326392699
AMS, I am in awe of how incredibly shiny Ahab is.
As for scaring off contestants—I went into my first contest knowing full well I wasn’t going to win. I just wasn’t, and still am not, good enough to best the Holy Trinity of Heromachine. But I still entered, so why should others be scared of entering as well?
At the very least, though, it’s less competition. 😛
A glove and a pant leg actually. There are no bodies in profile, what else could I have used?
sorry i just take a joke with my country’s language..
Just a thought I’ve been kicking around. I haven’t committed to this yet (and I’d have to get Jeff’s approval first). Some of you may know that I create a new HM3 item every week (roughly) that is chosen by a poll I set up in the forums. I thought it might be fun to expand upon the item creation and involve the community even more. So without further dragging of feet…
dblade’s Random Finalist Consolation Prize!
I randomly pick (roll of a dice) one of the contest finalists. I then create one item (within my capabilities) chosen by the lucky(???) finalist. I’m no Jeff but I can manage an art asset or two. I would probably add a few caveats to this (no backgrounds) and if the item is beyond my grasp I would ask for a substitute request.
So what do you think? Crazy?
No problem. I was just being nosy. 🙂
Ooh! I like this! I think I’ll make a series with this one; The Sinful Sisterhood! Here’s my entry for this one, Wrath!

Story:
[The following diary was found in a safe in the last building left standing in the rubble left in the wake of the Manhattan Event, an apartment high-rise. All the apartments were burned almost to integrity failure except for the one in which this diary was found.]
[Transcription follows.]
12 January 2012
Wrath: as a word, seldom used; as a concept, it often uses us.
What many fail to understand is that there is an entity, a “god”,(if you must debase it so to understand it), of Wrath. There is an entity that corresponds to every concept. If you can do or think it, there is a “god” of it. These “gods”, for lack of a more realistic term, are real beings, feeding off of our investment of our mental energies in their corresponding concepts.
As they feed, more and more, they get stronger. They become more aware, more sentient, even, more corporeal. And that is where the danger lies.
I just saw one.
It shouldn’t have been possible. She was standing right in front of me, outside of a burning hardware store; she turned slowly, and I saw her eyes.
They were aflame.
She threw back her head and laughed in a way that could curdle blood, disappearing into the night.
This is the first time I have seen them, any of them, outside of my dreams.
I pray it never happens again.
14 January 2012
It happened again.
She was floating there outside, looking straight at the window of my office. I saw her face clear as day; it was Wrath. She raised her hands and the entire island burst into flames below me. I could see all of Manhattan burn from my vantage point in the Empire State Building; I hijacked the express elevator and ran to my car to get home to my family.
I was too late.
She left me alive for some reason, probably because of my sleep visions. She levelled the entire city, but left me alive to bear witness to the devastation. I can’t get them out of my head. My wife, my son. These goddamn beings!?
I’m going back to the ESB, to get one of the guards’ guns, and join my family.
Wish me luck.

Not crazy, i think this is an awexome idea 😀
I was hoping it would be a way to encourage more involvement in the contests. The competition is pretty stiff for the top spot so this would be a way for others to get rewarded for their hard work. It would still require being picked by Jeff as a finalist, but after that anyone could be chosen.
how do you do the blushing emoticon?
😛 Dunno maybe : and d 😀 or : and O :O
Woah, awesome! Love the idea! 😀
Now I just have to be a finalist 😉
jeff, i drew some concepts for new items in the spandex category. it is sort of Superboy/Mr Terrific type style.

http://i.imgur.com/BeO7M.png
i was thinking of doing a “grapes of wrath” thing, but it looks like i was beaten to it.
@Alvacascus, I got that website you told me about to work and got me a pic now too, thanks!
Agreed! And as we all know, that one guy has weird taste.
Love the idea, dblade, that would be awesome!
I’m actually on the road travelling to Austin for my shiny new job (the post announcing that was accidentally scheduled for tomorrow on account of I don’t know how to tell dates in the future), so apologies for the slow responses. But yeah, it’s a great idea and I think people would really love it.
@Jeff, be careful driving out there in Austn, I use to live there and the drivers on the roads can be dangerous, especially around sixth street after dark.
Tarkabarka, do you have a—thing for stabbing teddy bears? And why is that poor woman’s neck coming out the side of her face, her head is completely disconnected to her neck. Maybe, move the head to the side a bit?
Syntax, please don’t critique the other entrants’ submissions. That’s really not cool.
@Syntax, I don’t mean to disrespect but I tend to talk bluntly most of the time and I believe Jeff would agree with me that this site is a way for people to get some of their creative juices flowing and out into a visable format, may it be manually or via computer. Different people are at different levels of skill and however they choose to express themself is up to them. Different people interpret different art differently obviously. Picasso made some works of art that were questionable to some at the time but now are considered priceless. People will come into their own talents and improve on them in time. When there is a critique post, then we can gather as a group and try to help each other out so that we can all be better artist. Even then when that time comes please remember to be mindful of your words so that they help not hurt. It would be better to be able to take constructive advice and adjust my art to become a better artist, than it would to feel put down and not want to draw or create anymore. Nuf said.
Yes, well said, Tool.
Great! I will make it official then. dblade’s Random Finalist Consolation Prize goes into effect for this contest. Thanks, Jeff.
@Syntax
Excuse me sir, but I believe that the “poor woman’s neck coming out of the side of her face” is called perspective. It’s a quite amazing thing where things look different from different angles. Like, if she was turning her head, then you would see one side of her neck more than the other. I’ll be continuing my class on sight later this week. Tally hoe, good sir.
Let it go, guys — it’s hard enough to keep track of contest entries in these threads without going through a bunch of back and forth.

My second entry for the contest. This one is the first in a team I am throwing together for the next contests, as well. The Sins are a band of planet conquerers, numerous galaxies have already fallen to them. Wrath, of course, is among the most powerful of the group and is their leader. He could literally bring out the anger and vengeful side of beings, causing all kinds of havoc. This power is usually their last resort for the more stubborn of planets, because what good are dead slaves?

This has got to be the most violent creation I have made (well, the goriest, at least). I had a ton of different ideas for this entry (overactive imagination) and A LOT of fun trying (and failing) to get them to work, so I took the best parts of the better ideas and crafted Wrath. My previous entry (Blood Dragon) was the result of one of the ideas that I actually liked and decided to keep.
The Seven Deadly Sins are also known as “Capital Vices.” For this theme, I am designing a “Letter Monster” for each. Not that the original “Letter People” weren’t creepy enough!

Wrath (Contest/Finished Version)
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/HM3%20-%20Contests/MartianBlue-Wrath.png
A young man is strung up and slaughtered, the reason? Simply becaus he is an Indian(native american). Upon his death, his spirit now feeled with vengeance leaves his body. Along with his animal spirit guide, they set out for revenge.
When a person is grievously wronged in life, sometimes their spirit can return to seek vengeance upon those responsible. There are numerous ways this can occur. One method is for the decease’s spirit to inhabit the Mask of Nemesis.
Contained within the mystical stone, the spirit dispenses “justice” as the Vengeful Wrath.

both version are really cool, i like the horse from the second alittle better
I played around with this one for a minute, I was thinking Wrath and how people can never escape the wrath of anything, so I made this character named the Devil’s Most Violent Demon, he forces his wrath upon you and drag you to the bowels of hell to suffer and eternity with the almighty evil one himself. Muahahahahahahaha

so, jeff, what do you think of those spandex concepts?
I think these would be good additions to the spandex category. Basically someone could take Jeff’s existing artwork and erase/add the necessary elements to create these pieces. Not super hard if you know your way around a vector program. I would really like to contribute to the spandex section some day so I might add these to the pile.
thanks, dblade. i’m glad you like.

I noticed that the UGO Album not just re-sizes pictures, it also reduces resolution. Which I like in this instance because it gives the picture a grainy film / cellphone cam gradient.
I started working on some of the assets inspired by your drawing. I will try to do the female versions next.

thanks, dblade! their great!

Ps. not that your composition is indistinct. it’s great!

Sorry. It—it just bugs me is all. No reason for me to be rude. I apologize Tarkabarka, just, in a bit of pain right now. Got five of my teeth removed a little while ago, and I’m a bit cranky. I didn’t need to take that crankiness out on you.
Oh lawdy, that scared the bejeebus out of me.
They’re good, FRM. I haven’t wanted to do more spandex as I hate having to duplicate the items for the alternate body, but if dblade’s up for it that’s fine with me.

Well that’s great, just what I was hoping.
He would be incredible with a bit of the highlighting of your previous creations.

Entry:
Wrath, a member of a team of people who are trying to be heroes, but find it very hard because they all have big flaws. This one’s is wrath (with deliberate 90s influence, both in the look and in the violent anti-hero tendencies). Here he’s found a shoplifter and in the background are two of his teammates rushing to stop him.

thanks, TOOL. jeff/dblade– what is the program TOOL mentioned?
FRM, you can find all the info at http://www.heromachine.com/2011/04/29/heromachine-3-custom-items/
Hey FRM
First of all here is a link to Jeff’s “how to” for getting custom items ready for HM3: http://www.heromachine.com/2011/04/29/heromachine-3-custom-items/
And here is post with a note on the Inkscape program TOOL is speaking of: http://forums.ugo.com/showpost.php?p=678790&postcount=455
I have never used Inkscape so I can’t speak on its quality. I use Illustrator for all of the art assets I create for HM3. As I am not an illustrator of Jeff’s caliber, my approach is very methodical and studied, often using Jeff’s art assets as reference material.
If you can figure out a way to get your artwork created in a vector program this will greatly increase your chances of seeing your work in HM3. Of course it should be an acceptable quality to Jeff and shouldn’t require him to do any tinkering to make it work for HM3.
Lastly you should check out my UGO HeroMachine forum thread “dblade’s Whiz Bang Item Dispenser” if you would like to make further requests. This way they won’t be lost in the blogs. I can’t guarantee I’ll get to everything, but this is the best place to get my attention.

dblade, your work is awesome. No modesty needed, you do fantastic work and you clearly have a stellar design sense (as evident from your character illustration compositions) far superior to mine. I know I speak for the entire community when I say how lucky I feel that you take the time to contribute your talents to the project.
Thanks, Jeff. I’m still extremely jealous of your awesome artwork. 🙂

So i give the name lost in despair.
So if we despair what we feel. I think the main feeling is the wrath and anger. We all helpless, and now we feel we can’t do anything and inundate us with the wrath.
http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3394/tarkabarkalostindespair.png
@Syntax: – I don’t want to start any quarrels. But i want to wrote few words.
1. I don’t angry or wrath 😀 – I only wide open my eyes, what i do to you give me that negative critique.
2. I absolutly agree with Tool. We all here to show are impressions. I very ticklish. I learn to accept Jeff critique and the others. For few months ago i hit my table and stay out for the computer to why i make pictures because here is someone who insult me and tell me bad things for my picture which i working a lot and show my feelings.
3. I accept the apology, and I understand what if something is hurt (i have chronic back hurt, if to i make pictures i always go for lydocain injection therapy to sit more than 1 hour).
I hope all understand what i want to wrote it, because my english not so good, i practicing but i need to learn a lot.
so there is another ways to get or request new items.. I thought it just can be achieved from caption and character design contests..
is this for everyone and doesn’t take any requirement? may i also have a request?
@Tarkabarka, I don’t mind If you ever need help with your english. I’m sure we could teach you a few phrases and then we could meet up with Jeff on 6th street to get some drinks ;D I’m always happy to be the DD, I don’t drink anymore.
Alvacascus, yes, as I understand it dblade takes requests from everyone, though of course not every one can be done. However, please do so in his UGO Forums thread, not here. Thanks!
@Alvascus
Yes you show a picture and Dblade make it for HM3. (If he like it :D)
@TOOL
Ok for me 😀 I learn a lot of new word. Jist and Gist, and Tramp Stamp 😀
In C.E. there is 5.13 am and i go for work for 7.00 am. So good night or good morning for all.
Okay.. Thanks Jeff and Tarkabarka.. 😉
Feel free to make your request. I generally try to place item requests into a weekly poll that people vote on. I then create the winning item (or items) the next week. Sometimes I go a little crazy and end up making all the items on the poll (I’m looking at you, Wings).
Other times an item catches my fancy so I just create it without putting it through the poll system.
While I’m at it, I must apologize for hijacking the blog. I hope this hasn’t taken anything away from the contest.
I am offering a small treat for your patience and understanding… 🙂
is that the thread you put a link to before, jeff?
(yeah, probably. dumb question.)
Jeff– not to rush you, but about what time will the contest results be up?
The results will be up when they’re up. Be patient young jedi.
