As suspected, there was a much lower voter turn out for this contest than last weeks, but it was still a decently close contest, with only 6 votes separating the top 2. But, of course, there can be only one, and this week that one is Skybandit for his Monster. Congrats Skybandit, please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered.
Thanks everybody, but I think that sportsmanship should be rewarded and this prize should go to Blunt Object. Take it, Blunt! ‘Sides, I can’t think of anything right now!
Very cool of you, SB!
I totally missed this contest and it’s entries cause of the hospital, and when I was out the poll was already up, but I agree that it was a most deserved win.
And it’s very gracious of you to give your prize away. Well Done.
@Skybandit….WOW! that is extremely generous of you and certainly not necessary. Since you are being so generous, and having run out of ideas, let’s make this a team venture.
A few weeks ago I came across a CG picture of a mech suit (see links below) and thought this particular mech suit had several very cool design elements that would be ideal for HM. My plan was that if I ever won a CDC I was going to request dblade choose just one design element from the mech suit (asking him to do the entire suit would be a pretty daunting task but one design element should be manageable).
Since this was your win why don’t you choose the design element (helmet, gauntlets, boots, etc.) from this mech suit that you want dblade to create? That way we both have some input into the outcome.
Obviously, we don’t want to get into any copyright issues, so if this particular option would create a problem I can go a different route. Let me know what you think and many thanks for your generosity!

Deal. Since the gauntlets and boots can be approximated by existing items, let’s do the helmet. Do you call Dblade, or should I do it?
Cool! The helmet was actually my personal preference, too. I’ve not had the opportunity to contact dblade for a prize contest before so Let me give it a whirl and I’ll make contact with him today.
Using my super stealthy spy tech I was able to listen in to the conversation. Excellent resource picture. I see this as a two item job. The foreground helmet and the backing head piece. Consider it on the list.
“Super Stealthy spy tech!” LMAO! I just spit drink all over my monitor! Thanks fellas! That convo was awesome!
Good work to both the declared winner and the appointed one.
@dblade: Keep that frequency quiet, please. We don’t want the spies in outer orbit to notice the intelligent artists like us. They might start abducting again.
Damn! Forgot to put my tinfoil hat on! Now the NSA knows everything!
