Once again, quite a close contest, with only 10 votes covering the top 3 places (5 votes between each place as well, so it was nice and neat). And we managed to have the poll finish in alphabetical order, which amused me. So, given that fact, I’m sure people will be able to guess (if they remember who was on the poll) that it is Cliff who walks away with this weeks win for his character Hurricane. Congratulations Cliff and well done to everyone who entered.

So, after a fairly odd first part to our third two parter of the series, how does it’s second half match up?

The focus of this week’s pop quiz is detail: pure and un-simple. To demonstrate this you will create an elaborate sword and shield combo that only the most powerful and esteemed warrior would carry into battle. I don’t want the warrior, his/her armour or helmet, just the sword and shield.
There is no prize. There is no poll. The winner is chosen by me.
So get ready to mask, shade and highlight your heart out! You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);
This contest will close at 9pm Eastern on Sunday, October 25th.

Well After a weeks extension on the latest Caption contest The total number of entries did not change so I will not be doing a top five and instead will just be naming our winner which is _____________________
This is going to be the last caption contest I hold for a while and I would like to take this time to thank everyone who participated in any of the Caption contest I have held. Next week I will figure out something to post to take the place of the caption contest and see how things go from there.

Hello fellow Machinists! Choose your 5 top categories that you would like me to create art assets for.
Just sitting around wondering what art assets the Machinist community would like to see added to HM3. I made this poll as a semi-formal gathering of data to gauge the interest in particular categories. I am also interested in hearing specific requests in the discussion below, with the hope of expanding upon the conversation. Ultimately I want to use this as a guide for future item polls.

Ok guys, we’re on to our final week of the Four Classical Elements theme and, therefore, on to the final element. Now this one is the most ambiguous of the four in terms of definition. Is it just the earth, as in the ground beneath our feet, does it extend to rocks and therefore mountains and the like, or does it go even further to include plant-life as well? I’ll let you decide I think. It’s more interesting that way.
As per usual, no limits on entries and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). 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.
If you don’t know how to enter, there’s a handy little diagram below the jump.

This week was quite close, only 7 votes (and seas) between the top two places. At this point I’d love to say that it was back and forth between the two all week, with the winner only pulling out ahead at the last minute, but that didn’t happen. It was catch up game for everyone this week, as our winner lead from the start, never extending his lead too far but always comfortably in front. And that winner is Vampyrist for his Black Water. Congrats Vamp and well done to everyone who entered.

Umm, don’t expect too much from me here, because honestly, I have no idea on this one.
