Time for another OCD. Let's see what you have for us today. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

My new 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 with “no” warnings.

Creator’s Club Poster

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Hammerknight | Comments Off

It has been a long time since I did the last Creator's Club Poster. I have a lot on my plate right now, so The Atomic Punk has offer his services to do the poster this year. I would like to thank him for doing so. So the following information is what he requires for him to do the poster. He has laid it out nicely so please follow his instructions. He has included a sample character and also wants me to include my recipes for Chibies.

Design a Chibi version of yourself. This can be a self-portrait, an avatar, or yourself in hero (or villain!) mode. No backgrounds, just the character. e-Mail entries as PNG Transparent files to freethespam@cox.net. Preferably, send the saved Text file so I can re-size characters for consistency.

Only one entry per HeroMachiner. Please try to limit any revisions or upgrades! More than likely, I will simply use your first submission. I will be accepting entries from February 28th through March 29th. With luck, I will unveil the Creators' Club 2013 poster in mid-April.

Please name your file as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you e-mail it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png. He would save the Text as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.txt.

Finally, have fun! Creators' Club is not a contest. It is an opportunity to show the world how you see yourself (or what you want the world to see).

More Hall of Fame nominees

Posted on February 27, 2013 by AFDStudios | Comments Off

I'd like to add some more illustrations into the Hall of Fame, so I invite all of you to submit one nominee in the comments. But the trick is, you can't nominate yourself! Just add a link to the person's best illustration and why you think it's awesome. After it seems like the nominations are done I'll go through and pick out my favorites and add them into the Hall.

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion!

A Fox in the Hen House or a Snake in the Grass ?

Posted on February 27, 2013 by Kaldath | Comments Off

This weeks bad super costume present the Crimson Fox!

The first two things that spring to my mind when looking at this outfit. First it is not even close to being crimson in color. Second this does not in the least resemble a fox! I have to say the most glaringly obvious flaw with this costume is the fact that she found a brown Cobra somewhere, skinned it and now wears it on her head! Other then that the costume is boringly basic the browns and black colors just combined in an unappealing manner here. In the end I feel the Crimson Fox would be more apply named the crap brown serpent!

Poll Position: The British Invasion

Posted on February 26, 2013 by Kaldath | Comments Off

This week's Poll Position is for the Anglophiles out there. My question is this. "Which of these British SuperHeroes is your favorite" ? This isn't about costumes, or not only about costumes, this poll is about which of these do you like the best for whatever reason, costume, powers, personality, what have you.

[polldaddy poll="6919081"]

The Heroes I have picked are by no means the end all, be all of British Heroes therefore I have left this poll open for you to add in your own choice should you find it needful. My requirement for this poll is that the character needs to have been a SuperHero as some point in his/her career and have been born in Britain even if not operating from there.

Pictures and Wiki links for my Choices After the Jump. ( If you add an entry to the poll please post a wiki link for the character you have added )
