Character Design Contest ♯67 (Animal Themed) Winner

Once again we have managed to breach the 200 votes mark for a contest poll, which is incredible. The support shown for each of our contestants was amazing, but there can only be one winner. And that winner is Livewyre1014 for Cockroach. Congrats Livewyre, please go and see dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered.

So, I am again doing another one off PUP. And this time we're going to take a look at someone who can only be described as a Mech-Expert. His work frequently stuns me, using items in ways I never thought they could or would be used. He also does some pretty kick-ass landscape works as well, which really show of his skill at atmospheric shading (if you go to his galleries one the forums or deviantart check out a pic call Trapped, it really exemplifies this. Oh and Abyss. Actually, just check it all out, it's worth it). Plus he has a very apt username. So ladies, gentlemen and mechanical lifeforms, please welcome ExtremelyEpic.

Character Design Contest ♯68- Angels & Demons

Ok guys , for your challenge this week I want you to create either an angelic character or a demonic character. Now this could be done in two different ways. The first would be to do the whole feathered wings/ horns ideas that are the classic representations of the two, or you could create a whole new character based upon a known theological character (i.e. Gabriel or Lucifer). I'll be interested to see 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.

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.

Character Design Contest ♯66 (Fashion Show 2) Winner

Another great turn out for this weeks poll. However, unlike last week, this week it was not a close finish, instead the winner had a clear 20 votes over his nearest competitor. And, I believe this is his first CDC win. So please give a big hand for Mattisagamer and his excellent Exyle. Congrats Matt, make sure you see dblade about your prize.

Character Design Contest ♯67- Animal Themed Characters

The Ronseal of challenges this one, it does exactly what it says on the tin (sorry if y'all don't get that reference, I think it might just be a British thing, but the opportunity was there and I couldn't not say it). So yeah, what I want you guys to do this week is create a hero or villain with an animal theme. I'm not looking for human-animal hybrid characters like Tigra or Man-Bat, but human characters with animal themed powers and/ or costumes, like Batman, Spider-Man and Black Manta. This one should be fun.

Character Design Contest ♯65 (Free For All) Winner

I  can't believe how many votes we got for this weeks poll. The previous record for number of votes in a CDC poll was around 150. This week we got per 200 votes. And it was close, 6 votes between the winner and second place. But of course there has to be a winner. And that winner is DiCicatriz for Yrys. Congrats DiCicatriz, please make sure you talk to dblade about your prize, and well done to everyone who entered, there where some excellent entries.

Character Design Contest ♯66- Fashion Show 2

Ok guys, this week we're going to do another costume design contest like we did last year. The rules are simple, I'm only really concentrating on the costumes you come up with not poses or faces or backgrounds, so be creative with your costuming. It can be  any kind of costume, superhero, everyday, formal, historical etc. etc. Last time we did this sort of contest it was one of the best we've ever done, so I want you to beat that.
