Category Archives: Character Design Challenges

Welcome one and all to this weeks Character Redesign Challenge! This week I am departing from the real of the superhero and in to that of high fantasy. For you challenge I want you to tackle this old AD&D 2nd edition character of mine:

No a lot of need for information on this character as she isn't that much of a complicated character. She is half Grey Elf, and half Sylvan Elf. She is a Mage and a Thief with a bit of a taste for the finer things in life. If Alisha can't beat you with her magic she will fall back on pure trickery if she has too.

The Rules: No limit on the number of entries you can submit in your attempts at redesigning the above image, however you most keep within the rules of the forum and blog when creating your entries. You have until Monday January 20th at 12 noon Eastern Time to submit all your entries, and the winner will be announce the next day. Good luck everyone and happy HeroMachineing!

Last week I asked you to redesign these characters for me:

Not a great turn out for this particular challenge and with only three entries to choose from I am declaring this one a three way tie!

Congratulations to all three of you, for your hard work on these images!

This week I want you guys to create an awesome gadgeteer type hero or villain. I'm looking for tech suits, big guns, hologram computers, you name it. It can be golden age or modern, I'm not to fussy, just make it good.

As per usual, no limits on entries this week, 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.

Greeting everyone, it is time for a new character redesign challenge and considering the less then stellar turn out the last two challenge with male characters I return to the ladies. This one I do not have just one character for you, but TWO. I present for your creative redesign efforts the Mejeer Twins, Brittney and Mea!

Characters Info: These two ladies are twin sister and share most of the same powers. They both have winged flight powers, they both are highly agile,  both have minor shape shifting abilities allowing them to change their facial features, as well as adjust there height by 2 feet in either direction and make slight alteration to skin and hair color. Also both of them have the ability to disrupt another persons nervous system by touch to various different effect. Brittney has one power she does not share with her sister, and is able to directly interface with any machine she touches and control it with her mind, While Mea on the other hand has her own power that Brittney does not, which is the ability to briefly pause the flow of time for everyone but herself. Another difference in the two girls is that Mae is a Mage and uses magic free, while Brittney is more of a street tough and focuses on high tech gadgets and weapons.

The Rules: No limit on the number of entries you can submit in your attempts at redesigning the above image, however you most keep within the rules of the forum and blog when creating your entries. You have until Monday January 13th at 12 noon Eastern Time to submit all your entries, and the winner will be announce the next day. Good luck everyone and happy HeroMachineing!

The Jersey Devil

From my own home State of NJ the Jersey Devil patrols the Tri-state Area. His powers are Limited winged flight, With wings more suited to gliding he is able to actually fly with then though not very fast and usually used it to gain height and then glide at much greater speeds. In addition to his wings, the Devil also has enhanced strength and reflexes and is able to fire blasts of super heated plasma from his hands that he calls his hell fire.

Okay, lets get this thing back up and running after the Christmas break.

So, what I want you guys to do this week is create an old school style flying hero. Capes are optional, as are wings, but I'd like to keep this gadget-less please, no Iron Man style armour suits or such-like. You'll find out why in a couple of weeks.
