The stand alone Joker movie has opened to rave reviews. I have seen it. Spoiler Alert…it is great. I mean Oscar worthy great.
So in honour of the clown prince of crime, we are taking a trip to the circus this week. Your challenge is to create a unique and memorable villain based on characters –except for clowns – traditionally found inhabiting a traditional circus – except for clowns; ie: Ringmaster, side show freaks, strongman, etc. Did I mention no clowns?
The winner this week will receive my version of their design rendered in glorious HM3.

Well I have to say I am surprised. I thought this contest would have people clambering to enter. Just goes to show that I don’t know much…but I know what I like and I like all the entries this week; from Kellkin’s post apocalyptic semi to HerrD’s TacV. All brilliant! But two entries rang all the post apocalyptic bells for me.
First is runner up GW’s Spiker
Great use of items and the colour choices are dead on.
And this week’s winner…

So, considering last time out we looked at DC’s greatest heroes, let’s be utterly predictable and this week look at DC’s greatest villains. And as with last time, it is utterly predictable who is going to win: it’s Joker, with Darkseid and Lex Luthor rounding out the top 3. However, after that trio, I really don’t know who will make the top 10 this time. I’ve got some good predictions, they’re our starting 10, but I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more names added. I mean, you can make a seperate top 10 just out of Batman villains and still leave out some amazing candidates so there’d better be some good names added when considering we’ve also got The Flash, Superman and Green Lantern’s top tier rogues galleries and that’s before we get to Teen Titans, Wonder Woman, The Legion Of Superheroes and Justice League amongst the many, many others.
Anyway, as usual, you can add your own answers once per day and vote for as many entries as you want, again once per day, poll closes a week on Friday (Oct 18th).

So a trailer dropped yesterday that I have to talk about. I’m talking of course, about Picard.
Your challenge this week is to create an original post apocalyptic vehicle that would feel right at home battling on the Fury Road.
You can build it from scratch if you wish or you may choose an item from “Companions: Vehicles” and deck it out Mad Max style
The winner this week will receive my design for the driver of the winning vehicle.

Not a bad turnout this week, and lots of imagination on display.
In second place we have a tie between Kellkin’s Lonewolf …
…and AtomicPunk’s Bigtop. Great job AP! I particularly like the catch phrase.
And the win this week goes to…
