  • Entries must be made as a comment to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • All entries most be created using HeroMachine 3.0, No photo-shopping of the image except for basic cropping and the adding of simple boarders.
  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • Images most conform to all normal HeroMachine.com rules.

Pop Quiz K#1: Posers

pop quiz

 

I have decided to do a test run of the pop quiz contest to see if people are interested in seeing it return. Based on how well this one does will determine on weather this function returns or now. Now since I can not do this on the weekend as it used to be done, it will be more then a single day contest and will be one week long, however it will remain a single entry contest.

So for this first new Pop Quiz I want you to design a character based on one of the two following poses:

You can either recreate the pose on your own, or use the text strings located here:  http://www.heromachine.com/forum/poses/custom-poses-by-ams/#p12027 ( A big thanks to AMS for creating these poses )

 

The Rules:

All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShackPhotoBucket, or whatever);

  • Entries must be made as a comment to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • All entries most be created using HeroMachine 3.0, No photo-shopping of the image except for basic cropping and the adding of simple boarders.
  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • Images most conform to all normal HeroMachine.com rules.
  • Entries are limited to One (1) per person.

As noted above the new pop quiz will grant you a full week to create your image as I can not post and Judge this contest on the weekends do to my Real Life Job, Therefore you have until  1pm Eastern time Tuesday March 11th 2014 to submit your entry. Good luck Everyone!

Pop Quiz 5

For this week's pop quiz, your challenge is to decorate ONE of the items below.

hm3-beta

All of the items can be found in Items- Right: Miscellaneous. I'm not really looking for anything other than the item being decorated, so you don't have to do a character to go with the item, just the item will do.

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,ImageShackPhotoBucket, or whatever);

  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.

You have 24 hours. Good luck.

Plenty of good entries this week but I had to disqualify a few due to either improperly naming the file or because it came in after the 7am Eastern time deadline. So without further ado I give you my top 5 in no particular order.
