*tap tap* Is this thing on? Hello?
Excellent! I've just uploaded the following items, created by dblade, to the live HeroMachine 3 server:
If you don't see them in your previews, clear your browser's cache. The seal body is in Body-Monster while the gloves are in GloveRight-Standard. I have female versions of them from dblade but not in the program yet, and will upload them at some point as well.
I want to thank dblade for these and for all the other items he's contributed. You're a champ, Champ!
I also want to thank Kaldath and Hammerknight for keeping the blog side of things rolling along.
I hope you all have a great New Year's celebration!

Welcome to Kid's Korner, a place for you and your kids to get together and have fun with HM. So pull up your chairs and take the challenge. I few years ago I designed "Art Heads."
Here is a base character so that you can have the right sizes to use. You are allowed to change items to make male or female characters, but the sizes need to stay the same. You can add clothing and accessories.
So for your challenge this week, "Wizards, Witches, and Warlocks", yes that is right, show me the magic.
Rules for posting your characters are the same as any other contest or challenge. No limit. So have fun with your kids. I will post the winners on Monday, so you can have all weekend to work on your characters. Still no prizes for challenges, but for this one you get to spend times with your kids and that is better then any prize.
P.S. Open Critique is being moved to Thursdays and Sundays to allow for people that work during the week to share in the fun.

For this challenge I will post a pose and it is up to you to dress it. The pose has to stay the same from the neck down. You can change the face and head shape. Add to it what you want to for clothing, hair, etc. For the first pose in the challenge I am using one of ams's action poses. A big thank you goes out to ams for allowing me to use his poses.
Remember at this time there are still no prizes for challenges.

This weeks victim of the SuperHero fashion police is Image Comics resident Wolverine wanna be Deadlock!
As I said Logan wants his mask back and he is super mad that Deadlock seems to have gotten some bleach on it!!! I know that a fair number of image's character are total rip offs of Marvels work but I have to say I have never been a fan of Wolverine's taste in costumes, and this little number takes all the bad fashion ques from Logan's attire and then makes it worse!!! I am just surprised that his this is from image that the character isn't toting about a huge Gun or sword, and doesn't have spikes or pouches littering his person though he does have move then his fair share of apparently unless straps and buckles!

This week's contest was to design a 70's type character. Everyone did a great job with these. It was a hard decision to pick a winner. Below are the characters that were submitted. Some characters were not listed because we could not access them with the link provided. We picked out our top 5 favorites, although they were ALL good. The top 5 are labeled in no particular order. I hope you enjoyed this challenge as much as I did. Congrats to all who entered for a job well done, and Congrats to the winner.
Ultimately, we picked ams' "Hai Karate." This character pretty much screams 70's because, let's face it, who didn't have/want a set of nunchucks? Congratulations ams, and to everyone else, keep the characters coming.

I think this weeks poll is going to be a heated one!!
[polldaddy poll="6788715"]That's right, this week I pit the microwave wielding Firestar vs the nuclear powered Firehawk. Both ladies though using a different form of radiation but use that power to similar effect. Both are capable of flight, both can throw around bolts of fiery heat, and both are able to focus heat on a object from a distance by concentration alone.
For those who are not familiar with the characters let me link you to some info on them:
Firestar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestar#Powers_and_abilities
Firehawk: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Lorraine_Reilly_(New_Earth)
I find it difficult to select a winner on this one. On first blush one would think Nuclear power would be stronger then Microwave energy however firestar has demonstrated at time what would appear to be great levels of power then her revival in this contest though not on a consistent basis. I am going to go on my gut and my personal preference on this one and declare as my choice Firestar as the winner.
Well you have seen my choice on the issue, vote for yours and please leave a comment below telling us why you choose as you did!
