This week's winner is Thundersong who created this beautiful piece...

In order to turn you into a hero for your prize, please answer the following questions:

Gender? Favourite Colour? Second favourite colour? Favourite superhero? Least favourite superhero? Anything else I should know?

Your prize will be posted to the blog later this week.

Taking a seasonal break from heroes and villains, your 2 week design challenge is to create a rendering using HM3 based on a piece of music associated with the holiday season.

Feel like tackling the nativity in Silent Night? A certain red nosed reindeer? The melancholy of Auld Lang Syne? A rousing dreidel game? Now’s your chance.

The winner will be announced on New Year’s Eve, and that winner will receive a one of a kind custom made hero…or villain…of themselves…designed by me.

I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning.

If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
