Character Design Contest ♯52- Through The Ages

Ok guys, this week I want you to create an picture showing a character at more than one stage of their life (e.g. teen & adult or adult & old age). It can be a character of any genre, so superhero, western, fantasy, sic-fi etc. etc. the only proviso is no characters of species/ races that are immortal (no vampires, stuff like that). You can do short time gaps of a number of years, so long as there is a noticeable difference in the characters appearance. But don't just do costume changes, I want to see how well you can show age differences in heromachine.

No limits on entries this week, the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the 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.

As usual you are limited to Three (3) entries per person and those entries must be submitted no later then December 3rd at 12 Noon Eastern Time.

Character Design Contest ♯50- More Great Tastes: Kung Fu Edition

Going old school CDC this week, with a two great tastes set up. Basically I want you to make genre mash up between martial arts style (that means ninjas too) and another genre, superhero, western, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, pirates, funny animals, what ever you can think of. Hopefully, you guys can do some interesting stuff with this, as last time we did a TGT contest it had the highest entry number of any contest I've done.

No limits on entries this week, the contest will close at 12am Sunday (blog time). Please read the rules before entering, have fun and good luck.
