Character Design Contest♯25- Two Great Tastes: Western Edition

Posted on May 27, 2013 by | 40 Comments

Howdy Partner. For this weeks contest I want you to design me a mash up of the Wild West genre and another genre of your choosin'. It could be sci-fi, fantasy, historical, superhero, anime/manga, steam-punk, cyber-punk, 70's cop show, I'm not all that fussy, just make it good y'hear. Y'all have until noon on Sunday.

Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. New rule: characters entered for these contests must have been made specifically for these contests (just to make sure no-one accidentally posts something they have entered into another contest previously).

    Dusty Morgan was a peace officer on the frontier planet NeoColorado, when she was injured on duty and lost the use of her legs. As the cyborg sherif Destrier, she is a living weapon, with new legs that can carry her over any terrain on the planet.

    Originally, I was going to make a spoof of the movie “Cowboys And Aliens”, but I figured that robots are actually cooler than aliens.
    @Kaldath, how ’bout making that the next poll? what’s cooler, Aliens or Robots?

    And by the way, I forgot to tell you the robot SUIT’s wearer is a cowboy. Yeah, It’s like Iron Man.

    I have been messing around with HM for months now, but this is my first entry (and post). So, without further ado…

    ‘The flash of lightning illuminated a disturbing scene. Not only did former sheriff James Sarcos have me at gun point, but also his reported fall from grace now obviously included dark magic. As the light faded again, I made my move.’

    That link is bad, it just says content is not available, so you might want to try and fix it ’cause I can’t judge what I can’t see.

    As with Alex, the file isn’t named right. The picture is great but I can’t really see the second ‘taste’.
    Everyone, I’m not going to keep pointing out that you’ve not named your files right, make sure you’ve done it right or you’re not getting judged.

    Bob was once the cattle brander in his small town but one day he tripped over a rattlesnake and landed in his forge (where he heated his branding iron) his face melted and now he is a doomed soul to roam the desert forever, branding whomever he crosses.

    Second ‘taste’ should be a knight, or medieval theme. I thought i’d named it right though, doesn’t the file just have to have my name in it?
