Ok guys, it’s time to resurrect the Two Great Tastes style contest this week. This week, your main theme is the Grim Reaper and your challenge is to mix that with any genre you like, whether it be Sci-fi, Fantasy, Superhero, Western, Martial Arts, Horror, Anime, whatever. Just be creative and have fun!
Enter as often as you wish.
This week’s winner will receive a HM3 rendering of their winning character, designed by me.

The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. Please keep all submissions PG13: full or partial nudity is prohibited. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that have been created solely using Hero Machine, and that you know for certain have never been entered in 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.

Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this).
This contest will close at 9am Eastern on Sunday, March 17th.
A few years ago I did a series of HM3 characters based on Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland like the Mock Turtle (pictured above).
So your challenge this week is to re-imagine one of the characters from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in an unexpected and unique way.
This week’s winner will receive a HM3 rendering of their winning character, designed by me.
