Category Archives: Character Design Challenges

It has been a been busy around here for the last two days, I feel like I'm running on fumes. There were a lot of great entries this week, to hard to pick the top five, even harder to pick the winner. Many of you took the word Musketeers and ran with it, going in different direction all at once. Which is a good thing because these contest are to make you be creative and even think outside of the box. Everyone one of you did a great job and some did it multiple times. There were all shapes and sizes of musketeers, some from the past and some from the future. New musketeers and old musketeers, male and female musketeers. Even some other heroes from the past filling in as musketeers. If you think about it the Three(4) Musketeers really was the first super hero team out there, so I can see replacement members from time to time filling in where needed. So from horse, to motorcycles, to spaceship, I give you the "Musketeers" in no particular order.

I must apologize for the lettering on the last two pages, I was past the worn out stage by the time I got to them. I might go back and redo them in the future.

And the Winner is Kellkin, great job.

For the contest this week I am turning to my phone app to get Super Heroes / Villains names. I am listing five names for you to choose from.

"Kid Dart", "Rogue Master", "Professor Witch", "Mega Hairball",                and "Kid Weapons". Your choice, they can be hero or villain which ever you like. Include their name and if they are good or bad. No limit this week. Remember the character must be made with HM and can only be cropped in any other program. Also save your characters text just in case any questions arise.(Sorry to say this, but there is reason behind it.) Most of all have fun creating.

Great job ams. Talk to dblade about your prize.

Here is what we've been waiting for, the poll to decide who will be the winner for the month of December. The winner of the month will win a prize from dblade. Good luck to all four. Polls will close Friday January 4th at midnight.

Good job to everyone. Congrats Kellkin.

This week's contest to to create your own team of Musketeers, three or four which ever you like.

Have fun no limits this week.

This week's contest was to design a 70's type character. Everyone did a great job with these. It was a hard decision to pick a winner. Below are the characters that were submitted. Some characters were not listed because we could not access them with the link provided. We picked out our top 5 favorites, although they were ALL good. The top 5 are labeled in no particular order. I hope you enjoyed this challenge as much as I did. Congrats to all who entered for a job well done, and Congrats to the winner.

Ultimately, we picked ams' "Hai Karate." This character pretty much screams 70's because, let's face it, who didn't have/want a set of nunchucks? Congratulations ams, and to everyone else, keep the characters coming.

Exoskeletons, be it in the comics or real life, are very cool. So for this week's contest suit up and do your best to design a exoskeleton. It can be for a comic character, or for real life. No, I'm not talking "Iron Man" type in a complete suit of armor. I'm talking an external skeleton type of suit. No limit this week. Have fun.

I just wanted to do right by the first winner.

For this weeks contest we will travel back in time to the 1970's. Design me a hero that would fit into this era. Be creative and have fun.
