Character Design Contest ♯110- Mech me some Robots

So, this weeks challenge is to create some sort of robot. Not a cyborg or mech-suit that is worn by a human, a mechanical automated machine controlled by an AI or simple program. It can be a utility robot like R2-D2 or a war machine like the Sentinels, humanoid like Optimus Prime or non-humanoid like GLaDOS. Just make sure it's awesome.

As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.

Character Design Contest ♯108 (Be Romantic) Results

Usually these polls fall into one of two categories. Either they're close, with the winner being within 10 votes of second place, or the winner runs away with it. This week wasn't close, but it wasn't exactly a run away victory either. But in the end I guess that wouldn't really matter to Nug whose Ace Of Hearts won this contest. Congrats Nug and well done to everyone who entered.

Sounds like the original PUP’s to me.

Character Of The Week: Viper- Kradothor

I'm not going to be saying a lot this week, because it would end up sounding an awful lot like the COTW from 3 weeks ago when I last featured some of Viper's work, but the same things still apply. Awesome shading, great use of colour and very nice item usage, especially with the masked patterns on the armour. A little more garish than the one from 3 weeks ago, with all the shiny jewels, but Viper certainly knows his way around golds and oranges.

Creators Club Poster 2015

(open in new tab to enbiggen)

download instruction links: Cover, wallpaper (warning clicking on characters in the poster/ wallpaper after following these links will result in rapid explosion of your skull, please make sure to wear a helmet before attempting. Oh and make sure you download the Zip file containing all the covers).

I have to say, MadJack seriously knocked this one not only out of the park, but possibly into orbit. Show him much love in the comments people. Also, I have to give a big hand to everyone who got themselves on the poster, everyones work looks incredible. Sorry that a few of you had to die during the creation of the poster, but just know that your sacrifice was not in vain and you shall be avenged.

We will of course be doing another one next year, so long as someone is brave enough to try and follow this, so if you didn't make it on to this years poster, make sure you're here next year.

But with that, once again thanks to MadJack for his work, and JR out.

Character Design Contest ♯109- Aquatic

For this weeks challenge, I want you guys to create something with an underwater theme. It can be something that lives underwater, something that was designed to go underwater or just an underwater scene. Hopefully, you have enough scope here for some excellent creations, so lets sea them. Sorry, bad pun.

As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.

Character Design Contest ♯107 (Vehicles) Winner

The turn out for this weeks poll wasn't exactly the highest we've ever had. In fact it's the lowest since last July. However, despite this, one person did manage to accrue nearly 50% of the vote and get almost twice the number of votes as his nearest competition. And that person was Stulte for his Daidalos Yacht. Congrats Stulte and thanks to all of you who entered.
