The contest this week is simple. Make the best Old School Super Hero you can. No crazy off the wall characters. They can be posed. No big deal backgrounds. Just bare bones this week. Almost as if you were making a model sheet for an up and coming cartoon. Just one view, straight on, is all that is needed. This week show your Country's Pride. Make a hero that you would be proud to have represent your country. Remember no copyrighted characters. Have at it and have fun. No limits this week. Make sure your name and the character's name is in the file's name.

Quick and Easy Challenge #9 “Hands Down”

Posted on February 16, 2013 by | Comments Off on Quick and Easy Challenge #9 “Hands Down”

For today's challenge you need to give your characters a "Hand". Besides the basic body parts, head/face, and hair(the human parts of a character) you can only use items from the Left or Right Hand sections. That's right you must make the costume out of hands and only hands. Using anything else will take you out of the running. Keep it clean and have fun. One character per person.

Share Day #H6

Posted on February 15, 2013 by | Comments Off on Share Day #H6

Time to share. What is your favorite Super Hero/Villain costume ever? Tell us what you like the most about it. Tell us why you believe it is the best.

I would have to say that the old blue and gray Batman costume with the black on yellow symbol would be mine. The yellow belt was alright too, but I must say that I do like the military style of belt better,  because it is more realistic then the little tubes. I just don't think you could fit everything in those tubes, even if the stuff is designed to be compact. In the military, as a carpenter, and as a prison guard, I had to try to fit everything I needed into belts and it is not all that easy. The blue and gray costume said more about Batman to me, it did not give him the darker soul that the black one does. Yes he wants to scare the bad guys, but he also need to let the people he is helping know that he is there to help them and not hurt them. I believe that in the movie "Year One" some of that is covered. I also think he had a tighter grip on his life in the blue and gray costume. The black one takes away that grip and doesn't let him touch base with reality.

So let's hear what you have to say.

Steel yourself against the awful!

Posted on February 13, 2013 by | Comments Off on Steel yourself against the awful!

This weeks "Bad Super Costume" continues the trend of the previous two weeks and present to you Shaquille O'Neal as Steel!

Do I really need to explain the reason for my choice this week ? This does not look like it is a powerful suit of power armor created to pay homage to Superman after his Death. No, this looks like a Bad Halloween costume cobbled together from whatever was laying around in the costume designers garage!
