Character Design Contest ♯80 (Steampunk)- Winner
It's been a while since we broke the 200 votes mark for a CDC poll. We've come close a few times but we haven't done it since CDC 68 back in April. But this week we broke it, which is brilliant. But that's enough rambling from me because we have a winner to announce. ANd that winner is Nug for his Violinist. Congrats Nug, please speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered, especially our finalists.

Character Design Contest ♯81- Operation: Golden Age
Ok guys, this weeks contest is going to be really simple. I want you to create a character in the style of the Golden Age of comics. If you don't know what the Golden Age of comics is, it's the period between 1935 and 1955, which was the birth of the superhero genre of comics. So think characters like the original incarnations of The Flash and Green Lantern.
As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). The winner gets to claim a custom made item from dblade to be put into heromachine, so long as the item conforms to his prize rules, which you can find here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/dblades-whiz-bang-item-dispenser/. Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before.

Considering I didn't know how well this contest was going to be received, I think it turned out alright, don't you? Anyway, remember, Open Image In New Tab is your friend here, because y'all need to see these in full size. Good thing I'm not voting, because I think my brain would explode trying to decide.

Character Design Contest ♯79 (Inspired By Music 2) Winner
I love doing the inspired by music CDCs, almost as much as I love the fashion show CDCs. I love seeing how people interpret music, and last weeks contests showed that off to a fantastic extent. And I also love the fact that the winner was the person who chose to represent an over 10 minute long song with heromachine, rather wonderfully I might add. So it gives me great pleasure to say something that hasn't been said in a while, this weeks winner is Cliff, for his representation of Perfect Sunset and Midori's Secrets; Creation. Congrats Cliff, please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered, I loved seeing you art and listening to the music that inspired it.

Character Of The Week: Gargantua- Ronin
So, COTW is back for another special and this one is just plain ridiculous. I actually had to confirm that it was in fact heromachine before I could do this post. I'm not gonna say much about it, because really it just speaks for its self, but Gargantua really managed to do a special one right here.

JRroundup- Doctor Who Series 8: Hopes for the new season
So, I saw the first advert for the next series of Doctor Who earlier today, announcing the date for broadcast of the first episode. Which of course can only mean one thing, MASSIVE HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To kick off, I've decided to do a top 5 yay and nay list of things I do and don't want to see in the new series. Now, quick disclaimer before we get into it, these are my opinions, if you agree that's cool, if you disagree that's cool too. I want this to be a discussion not a one sided agreement fest.
So without further ado, lets get into it, after the jump of course.

Character Design Contest ♯80- Steampunk
This week I'm going to go out on a limb and try something that could completely bomb. This week I want you to create something in a steampunk style. It can be a character, an object, a vehicle or a machine, but it must be steampunk. If you don't know what that is, google (and google images) is your friend.
As per usual, no limits on entries this week and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). The winner gets to claim a custom made item from dblade to be put into heromachine, so long as the item conforms to his prize rules, which you can find here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/dblades-whiz-bang-item-dispenser/.

Character Design Contest ♯79 (Inspired By Music 2) Poll
[polldaddy poll="8154390"]
I would advise people to listen to the songs that inspired these pieces when making their decision. Some of the choices make more sense when put into context.
Anarchangel's song- Lykke Li- Love Me Like I'm Not Made Of Stone
Cliff's song- Perfect Sunset & Midori- Secrets
Son4's song- Prince- The Future (Remix)
Stulte's song- Mussorgsky- Night On Bald Mountain
Vectorman's song- The Sword- Freya

Character Design Contest ♯78 (Strike A Pose)- Winner
This weeks poll, right from the very start, was a three horse race in terms of the votes. At one point mid-week it was even a three way tie, but it eventually spaced out to finish with a ten vote margin covering the top three (that's ten points between first and third, half the points that covered first to second last week). But only one person could come out on top. And that person was Gargantua for their entry demon. Congrats Gargantua, please go speak to dblade about your prize if you so wish, and congratulations to everyone else who entered, there were some fantastic entries.
