Get ready for your pop quiz, kids! Your one-day quick-fire challenge is:
Make an awesome headgear piece in HM3!
Whether it be Viking inspired horned battle helms or modern European flower hats or futuristic space goggles, be creative, mix several different pieces together, and come up with something neat and original.
You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best.
Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I'll announce the winner either tonight or first thing in the morning.
- 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;
- 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.
The winner will receive their choice of either one item or one portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release, or one Sketch of the Day style drawing where you pick the subject and I draw it how I like.
Good luck!

Quick question, if it’s not completely head-covering, would you like us to have the head showing underneath?
Absolutely, feel free to include the head.

(made entirely of shoulders, except the gradients)
This is a modern design for the Shredder’s helmet from TMNT. Or it could be just a samurai helmet đ

This headgear is called the brain. It has all of the smartest peoples cells in the world in it so once someone puts this on they have all the information ever learned in their brain. but once they put it on, it cant come off becuz u instantly fuse with the brain.

This is a helmet of a Daxan, an old warfaring race. The helmet allows them to breathe in any atmosphere.
Okay, so this is really simple, but it’s Cinco de Mayo and a They Might Be Giants reference, how could I resist?

My entry for this contest. To tell the truth i love this type of contests.
Power Armor Helmet
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/legacy/forum-image-uploads/tarkabarka/2012/05/Tarkabarka_PowerArmor_helmet.png
This is too weird. I’m playing in a RPG with a modern setting and all the PCs met through the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). The GM wanted a sword fighting game set in the modern world. My character is an amateur metal fabricator, and just crafted himself an elaborate eagle-themed viking helmet. Well, obviously I had to draw it up in HM and submit to this contest. I’m going to point out that I had to make it SCA legal, hence the elaborate face protection.

Here is my entry.
Its a helmet that absorbs the enemy after it has been defeated and creates an aura that uses the defeated enemies power. The user of the helmet is rendered blind while the eye in the middle takes control.

Been a long while since I’ve last visited heromachine. So, just for good old times sake, here’s a future-based space helmet:

I know, technically it’s past 12:00, but I really wanted to post this đ
Drow Ceremonial Guard
It looks heavy but it’s made of mithral. The helmet can adorn the wings only if the wearer killed the fairy himself.

“Bionics”
I think of this as a futuristic piece for a soldier who has been injured with additional high tech bits. The neckpiece is of course attached, and it contains the power source for the whole device.
I kind of like that pic you put for this Pop Quiz. I just could not come up with a name for this mask.

Hey, Mad Doctor. One more rule to be read. Only one entry per Machinist. I think Jeff will probably take the first one posted but you might want to point out which one is the official entry.
Oh man, this was due today? Well, I could always throw something together at the last minute. What do I have around the house?
Okay, so the goal was to make a cool piece of headgear, and I came up with a do-it-yourself project to make yourself look like a Jack Kirby character. You know, like Galactus or Orion. Yeah, I think this will work. Doesn’t look at all like I put this together in 10 minutes before the school bell.

Okay, in all seriousness, I was a little busy with my SODWA entry, and I couldn’t come up with anything at all for this week’s pop quiz. I don’t expect I’ll win, I just hope it gets a laugh or two.
Pure win, Myro đ Brilliant!
Looks like new hat for tf2
So only one hat? Facepalm. Ok. This hat for entry.

The Mk.IV High altitude flight helmet, for deep space travelling.
D’oh!, Wrong link type
http://i.imgur.com/8aeuq.png should work.
And I’ve decided to reclassify it as a primitive extra-terrestrial saucer helmet.
The government archive code names it: A51:H18:Helm5
Helmet of a space guardian.
