Happy Saturday, folks! Your one-day quick-fire challenge is inspired by my buddy Dave, who makes really cool real-world jewelry from recycled comic book panels. Thus, your mission today is:

Design an awesome piece of jewelry in HeroMachine!

You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best. Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I'll announce the winner either tonight or tomorrow morning. No elaborate backgrounds or characters, all I want is the piece of jewelry. If you need to include a body part to illustrate its position, that's ok, but the star of the illustration must be the item itself, not whatever it's on.

• All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the HeroMachine Forums, whatever);
• Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
• Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his "Bayou Belle" character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
• Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). Here's a quick-start guide on how to do that for various image hosting services.

The winner will receive their choice of either one item or one portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release, or one Sketch of the Day style drawing where you pick the subject and I draw it how I like.

Good luck!
