This one's going to be interesting. What I want you to do this week is very simple. I want you to do is create a character. They can be anything, hero, villain, alien, male, female, strong-man, speedster or techie, does not matter. BUT, you can only use Heromachine Version 1...
Have fun. Oh and also, by entering this contest you are giving permission for the character/ characters you enter to be used in a future contest in two weeks time, ok?
As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). The winner gets to claim a custom made item from dblade to be put into heromachine, so long as the item conforms to his prize rules, which you can find here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/dblades-whiz-bang-item-dispenser/. Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
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. Only post pictures and images that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
Man it’s been so long since I’ve done a HM1
I had to relearn it.
I decided to recreate my necromancer Nekrotikus.
I am pretty happy how close I got him.
Just missing the talen necklace and a skull on top of the staff and I wish the magic energy was neon green, but pretty close all in all.
He’s a simple design, doubt he will make the poll, but I like him.
May do something else more elaborate to enter later, but who knows, might not.

Is it just my end, or is the basketball set not loading at all?
Have hardly used this, so I probably won’t win. Still, it should be fun. Here.
My first is Grotar. They’re a primitive, warlike people. Though they are smarter then their behavior suggests.

Here’s another two. These are the last. I don’t need to submit any more.
First Cronus. Basing himself off of Cronus from Greek myth, he’s complete with a sickle that will electrocute you, and so kill you, if you are touched by it.
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Cronus.png
My last one is Circuit Breaker. He can control anything that uses programs. Anything from a microwave to a super computer.

Here’s mine. A Warrior priest of the Light

I don’t reminder the sports set ever working. Anyway it isn’t loading now and when you try to add color to the weapon of the fantasy character it turns clear.
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Madpac-TheExecutioner.png
Since it’s a return to the origins of HeroMachine, I decided to make a hero based on the roots of costumed superheroes: A classic, Golden-Age style paragon: the Silver Paladin!

???Where’s my post???
It was too close to breaking the rules so I didn’t allow it.
ALL of them?
You realize that the “Basketball Set” can’t do ‘characters’, just Basketball Shirts, right? Haven’t tried it in a very long time, but it’s not going to help for THIS contest… 😉
I’d remembered that after I’d posted, but I was on my way to work by then. I seem to recall there was a creature in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” that had the appearance of a blanket, so I suppose I might have rendered a basketball jersey version of same, but I suppose I’ll content myself with more humanesque beings.
It’s good to be back…

Pretty much
Can’t see wasting my time arguing with somebody that has no grasp of reality. And you wonder why you can’t get people to participate like they used too!
For what it’s worth, I agree with JR 100% on this one.
@Skybandit- I’m sure that the above comment will provide you with some form of closure on this matter, because I have no reason to answer to you now. It’s a shame that you had to lower yourself to insulting me, I really respected you and you’ve just lost that respect. And for the record, you are the first person that I’ve had to remove a post for breaking the rules (or getting close enough to breaking them to warrant action) in any of the CDC’s I’ve run, so it has nothing to do with my handling of the contests. You’ve been around long enough to know the score, I’m pretty sure you would have been around when the rule was first implemented, so you have no excuse.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a site to moderate.
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Madpac-BigBear.png
For the record, since I am the one who put this rule into place after consulting Jeff on the Matter Over a year ago amalgamations of any copyrighted characters is still a violation of our rules against posting Heromachine versions of Copyrighted characters.
Been a while but I thought that this could be fun

Been ages since i posted anything. a post-apocalyptic mutant or maybe an alien

@Nug: It says not found. Maybe take all the periods out of the image name and repost?
Not meaning to start an argument, but why was my post deleted? I don’t believe I used any material from other copyrighted images, characters, or books. If so, can you link me to the work? If it’s a bother you don’t have to.
It’s gotta suck for you, JR19759 and other admins & mods… dealing with all these petty quarrels and aggravating comments. Heh..
I don’t see your post in the moderation area, nor do I see it in the trash bin, so it doesn’t look like it was deleted either, I will check in the spam filter but unless JR says otherwise I would suggest reposting it ( I have over 900 posts to look through in the spam area )

Richie Rokk, lead singer of Turbo Flare
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Melmo44-Richie-Rokk.jpg
@Jawsabi- to ‘export’, you’ll need to screencap the page and then crop it later. I usually zoom in 3-4 times so the character stays a decent size after cropping out the rest of the stuff.
@Jawsabi, you have to do a screen capture. Basic steps are:
1) open paint
2) select your browser with the finished character
3) press Alt-PrtScr
4) go back to paint and paste the image there
5) crop the image so just the character shows
6) save the image as jpg or png

Disregard first entry for SIC SHOOTER, please. Renamed properly here – http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ams-SIC-SHOOTER-HM1.png
And here is THE ANKH – http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/ams-The-ANKH.png
Heh, I said I might do another.
I did this early this week, but forgot I hadn’t posted him. This is Hard Rock from the super hero duo Fire Power which we RPed a long time ago. I also redid a HM3 of him, and his partner Hot Shot. My roommate said it sounded like something she would want to read, so all week I have been making background characters in HM3. So while they don’t apply to this contest, I am very appreciative of his contest for the inspiration.
Leo Anthony Stone aka Hard Rock
http://i795.photobucket.com/albums/yy240/Cliff_HM3/Cliff_HardRock_HM1_zps060a9cd8.jpg
Well, I was way too lazy to make new characters, so I took a look into my archives and found some from 2005 that I want to enter in this contest. Maybe you recognize those I reimagined in HM3… 😉

Four for the contest. 🙂
1) Aten
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DiCicatriz_Aten.png
A young pharaoh thought to have been assassinated centuries ago. He was unearthed by archaeologists in a stasis pod at the heart of previously undiscovered pyramid. His body is infused with alien technology, solar cells all across the surface of his skin that soak up solar energy and redirect it outward in searing energy blasts.
2) Crag
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DiCicatriz_Crag.png
An alien lifeform found as an infant in the heart of a fallen meteorite, with invulnerability and immense super strength. Near as his handlers can tell, Crag was the product of a seeded DNA-bomb (a meteorite infused with the building blocks of life and sent out into the universe by a mysterious civilization) coming into contact with semi-sentient crystalline structures within the mineral makeup of the comet that housed the bomb.
3) Keturah
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DiCicatriz_Keturah.png
A former Mossad agent and freelance assassin. Something caused Keturah to change her ways. She disappeared from action for a year and then resurfaced as an extreme vigilante, dealing out justice with lethal force.
4) Valentine
http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/DiCicatriz_Valentine.png
Another street-level vigilante. Claims to be the Greek god Eros, thought to be clinically insane. Claims to fight on behalf of lovers everywhere. Possesses enhanced speed/strength/stamina/durability and an extrasensory ability to sense the bonds between others. Killer with a crossbow.
Merdinus the Archmage
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/–JprQBAoigg/VGe7mlmPD7I/AAAAAAAABQY/7g4MjJ7jMXw/s420/Anate_Merdinus_the_Archmage.jpg
Merdinus the Archmage is the first mage in my fantasy world of Somnii. He is the only mage to ever bond with seven elementals (one of each type), and he trained all the other mages. He is based on the character of Merlin from Arthurian Legend with a more accurate transliteration of the original Welsh named Myrddin. In addition to being a mage, he is also quite the warrior and tough guy as evidenced by the fact that his staff is actually a spear.
My second entry: Draconius
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-hWID4xzDtDM/VGfOsE5s5ZI/AAAAAAAABQ8/TpCjZqOqszc/s415/Anate_Draconius.jpg
Draconius is the brother of Merdinus. He was a powerful warrior, who fought alongside Merdinus in the Elemental Wars in order to forge a brighter future for the world. He bonded with the White Dragon, who was the father of all dragons. He is also left handed.
My third entry: Gwendolen
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nQzoxpaE8BQ/VGfOrxYfzSI/AAAAAAAABQ4/aAj165WHcRI/s424/Anate_Gwendolen.jpg
Gwendolen is the daughter of Arthur Pendragon. She followed Merdinus and Draconius to Somnii and became the founding ruler of the Kingdom of Zephyria. She is a skilled warrior, who fought alongside Merdinus and Draconius in the Elemental Wars. Gwendolen means white ring in Welsh
