Open Critique Day #14
Extremely sorry this wasn't up on time (again).
Just as a warning, I'm not going to be able to respond on here for most of Saturday because I have something going on in real life.

Character Of The Week: Viper- Kradothor
I'm not going to be saying a lot this week, because it would end up sounding an awful lot like the COTW from 3 weeks ago when I last featured some of Viper's work, but the same things still apply. Awesome shading, great use of colour and very nice item usage, especially with the masked patterns on the armour. A little more garish than the one from 3 weeks ago, with all the shiny jewels, but Viper certainly knows his way around golds and oranges.

A New Fantasy Novel Kickstarter
Friend of HeroMachine Ben Finn is helping promising new writer Melody Wolfe launch a Kickstarter for her new fantasy novel, "Rivertown":
Rivertown is the story of a young woman who rises to heroism in the face of a growing crisis. Against a backdrop of mystery and secrets, she must discover who she is, and how to save the people she loves.
The Kickstarter runs from Feb. 19 to Mar. 19, 2015!
The samples I've read so far sound really good and the cover art looks fantastic:
The HeroMachine community is all about helping artists find their voices and making imaginations come to life, so I hope you'll take a moment to head on over to the campaign and help Melody (and Ben!) out with her dream.

Anime Talk: How Do you Watch ?
Hello fellow Machiners, and Anime fans, on this edition of "Anime Talk" I want to find out how each of you watch Anime? Do you still purchase DVD/Blu-Ray Discs? Do you download (legally I hope) your anime from a service like iTunes, or Amazon instant video? Are you limited to what is on television on channels like the Cartoon Network? or Do you subscribe to a video streaming service like Netflix or Hulu plus ?

Ideas wanted
Sooo, I am having a bit of writers block at the moment and can't think of anything to write about presently. When I get like this I turned to you for your suggestions. What would you like me to write about for tomorrow's post? Give me your suggestions. The topics I normally write about are :
Anime Talk - Anything anime ( if I know about it anyway ), not so much on Manga as I don't read it but if I find something interesting I will discuss it.
Bad Super Costumes - pretty self-explanatory, if there is a costume in comics, super movies, heck even anime and manga that I think is bad it gets discussed here, though I haven't done one of these in a long long time.
Poll Position - Basically I pick a subject like what Spiderman costume is better, or who would win in a fight between X and Y and put up a poll for you to vote on. Again I haven't done one of these in a long while.
Kaldath's Corner - I write about any old thing that piques my interest that doesn't fall into one of the categories above.
So as I said I can't come up with an idea to write about this week so make me a suggestion and hopefully one of them will break this writers block. If not I apologize in advance for not writing anything of interest this week!

Creators Club Poster 2015
(open in new tab to enbiggen)
download instruction links: Cover, wallpaper (warning clicking on characters in the poster/ wallpaper after following these links will result in rapid explosion of your skull, please make sure to wear a helmet before attempting. Oh and make sure you download the Zip file containing all the covers).
I have to say, MadJack seriously knocked this one not only out of the park, but possibly into orbit. Show him much love in the comments people. Also, I have to give a big hand to everyone who got themselves on the poster, everyones work looks incredible. Sorry that a few of you had to die during the creation of the poster, but just know that your sacrifice was not in vain and you shall be avenged.
We will of course be doing another one next year, so long as someone is brave enough to try and follow this, so if you didn't make it on to this years poster, make sure you're here next year.
But with that, once again thanks to MadJack for his work, and JR out.
