HeroMachine Hall Of Fame Nominations

Posted on December 8, 2015 by Kaldath | Comments Off

Greeting fellow Machiners, I would like to announce open nomination for the HeroMachine Hall Of Fame! Like last year I will be entering 10 new entries into the hall of fame. The winner of JR's Hero of the Year polls, then I will be entering one selection by myself, Jeff and the rest of the moderation staff. Now I want you our great heromachine community members to tell me what heromachine creations you would like to be entered into the Hall Of Fame. Nomantions will be open until December 24th, Christmas eve. At that point I will put all the nomination we have received into a single poll where the 4 ( possibly more should any of the mods fail to select an entry ) with the most votes will win entry into the Hall Of Fame.

I would like to say that you are allowed to nomination any pure heromachine creation ( meaning it has to have been created completely using heromachine. ) even one of your own, though I would prefer you nominate someone other then yourself. You are also allowed to nomation people outside of the HeroMachine community proper ( the blog and forums ) such as Deviants Arts, Instagram etc. So long as you have the permission of the heromachine artist in question as they may not wish their art to be displayed on this site. Finally all nominations must be in line with the rules of our community especially the rules on copyright.

Creators Club 2016 Volunteers?

Posted on December 8, 2015 by JR19759 | Comments Off

Hey guys, JR here. As with this year, I'm now looking for someone to do next years Creators Club Poster, starting in January and hopefully being finished in February.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, the Creators Club poster is a community project where one of the members of the community (previously myself, MadJack Atomic Punk and Hammerknight) have come up with a theme for everyone to follow (Superheroes, Men In Black, Chibi’s and Westerns), and then people create a self-portrait of themselves fitting to that theme. All of the self-portraits are then sent to the organiser, who then puts them all together in one big poster that showcases the community that year. It’s not a challenge, it’s just a bit of fun, you don’t have to be a Power User to participate, you just have to use the site and follow the submission rules for the poster.

Now, obviously, we're trying to get new people to do these each year, so if you would like to volunteer and you have an idea for a theme, email it to me at the usual address (it's in my About section at the bottom of the post).

Oh, and you don't have to try and make it better than MadJack's was last year, so don't worry if you don't think you can. MJ went above and beyond last year and I don't expect anyone to do that sort of craziness again.

Previous CCP's

Don't ask me what happened to 2012.

Pop Quiz Results!

Posted on December 6, 2015 by djuby | Comments Off

So entries went up by a staggering 50%!!! There were three this week.

First up, HerrD with a creative and suitably creepy Goth take on the classic unfolding Faberge Egg.

Keric offered up an intricate design with some classic tattoo touches. Don't know if they were going for an Ed Hardy vibe, but that is what struck me.

And Cliff created a classic Faberge motif with the filigree doors and Christmas scene inside.

While I definitely appreciate the creativity of both HerrD's and Keric's entries, this week's top spot goes to Cliff. While very traditional, it is beautifully detailed and elegant.

Join me in congratulating Cliff, and the other entrants...too numerous to name.

See you Saturday as the Pop Quizzes of Christmas continue.

Character Design Contest ♯150 (What The Dickens) Winner

Posted on December 6, 2015 by JR19759 | Comments Off

So, I'm going to give this weeks CDC win to superfly30 for their interpretation of Mr. Jaggers from Great Expectations. The reason I chose this one was because not only did it feel the most complete entry this week, but it also kept the closest to the source material. The character actually looks like you could imagine him looking from the authors description of him. So congrats to superfly and well done to everyone who entered.

Posted on December 5, 2015 by djuby | Comments Off

Your challenge this week is all about intricate detail.

The task is to create an elaborately detailed Christmas ornament inspired by the glorious imperial eggs by Faberge.

You only get one entry so bring the bling, 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);

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;
No copyrighted characters please – they will be deleted.
Please name your filesas [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.

This contest will close at 6pm Eastern on Sunday, December 6th.

OCD (Open Critique Day) #36

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Linea24 | Comments Off

How this goes: You post a work of yours, finished or WIP, and then others give you critiques on your work. I do not mind if you post non-HM pictures or piece of writing. Just make sure that you only post pictures that are your own design and not any that are copyrighted or based off of copyrighted characters.

Also, if you post a work, it is highly recommended that you also give someone else a critique.

Even this is called Open Critique Day, I allow (even welcome!) for you guys to post and discuss on this for the weekend until 11:59 pm Sunday.

Character of the Week: Candruth- Manhunter

Posted on December 4, 2015 by JR19759 | Comments Off

Oh, it's Candruth again. Anyone else surprised? Nope. Me neither. And honestly, can anyone blame me for picked Candruths work when this is the quality she puts out consistently?
