Character Design Contest ♯76- 2 Great Tastes-Sci-Fi

Ok guys, this week I want you to create an awesome sci-fi character. But this time there's a twist, you have to mix another genre in with it. So for example, you could create a fantasy character in a sci-fi setting, such as a alien paladin or the like. Genres you can choose from include:

Fantasy, Western, Anime, Steam/ Cyber-Punk, Kung-Fu, Superhero, Horror & Everyday

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. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

Happy Birthday Jeff

According to my sources, it's a certain someone's birthday today, so I thought I might as well say Happy Birthday (because I forgot to send a card 😉 ).

So Happy Birthday Mr Hebert, hope you have a great one. Continue reading

Character Design Contest ♯75- Back to the beginning

Pay no attention to the title, it has nothing to do with this weeks contest, I just couldn't think of a better title.

Anyway, this week, I thought it would be interesting to re-use some of the older CDC themes, so that's what we are going to do. For the very first CDC (for those of us who weren't around the blog then) Jeff ran a contest where people had to design a character to fit a randomly generated word (in that case Capstan). So, that's what I've done. And the word I got was:

INDELIBLE

1. that cannot be eliminated, forgotten, changed, or the like: the indelible memories of war; the indelible influence of a great teacher .
2. making marks that cannot be erased, removed, or the like: indelible ink .
So your challenge this week, should you choose to accept it, is to create a character that fits this word. This'll be interesting. Good luck everyone.

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.

Character Design Contest ♯74 (Random Name) Poll

[polldaddy poll="8074348"]

I have to say, the quality of entries for this contest was superb, it was so hard to pick 5 for the poll. You know you've got a good contest when there's people like AMS, Livewyre and Vampyrist not making the final 5.

Character Design Contest ♯73 (Post Apocalyptic) Results

I'm sure the results of this weeks poll will come as a surprise to absolutely no-one. Once again it was one of those white-wash polls where the winner got more votes than everyone else combined, and this time out I can't say I'm surprised (not to demean the other finalists in any way). But anyway, this weeks winner was Valyndril for Post Apocalyptic Children. Congrats Valyndril, please make sure you speak to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered.

73- Valyndril- postapocalyptic-children-2

Character Design Contest ♯74- Random Name

Ok guys, this week I want you to create a superhero based on a name generated by this random Superhero name generator: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/hero_names.php#.U3kYBMZanwI

The generator gives out 10 names at a time, so there should be at least one you can work with, which is why I'm instating a rule that you can only use names from the first list generated. Also, if you could put the list of names you got in the post as well, that would be very welcome. We've had some very interesting entries to contests of this type before, so I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

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.
