Character Design Contest ♯150- What The Dickens

So, this week we're going to do another Public Domain challenge. But, to keep it interesting, we're going to have a different twist on the theme. Instead of doing a category based challenge, we're going to take a look at characters created by one single author, in this case Charles Dickens. You have free reign with the entire Dickensian catalogue, so pick any character you feel like.

And incase anyone is struggling to think of any ideas for who to do, here's a list of Dickensian characters:Ā https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dickensian_characters

As per usual, no limits on the number of entries and the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). Please read the contest 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.

If you don’t know how to enter, there’s a handy little diagram below the jump.

Character Design Contest ♯149 (Gratulation) Winner

Not really much point in doing an honourable mentions this week is there. We only had three entries for some reason, so I'm sure the guys who don't win will be able to work out that they got second and third place. So, our winner, who wins this week for being witty and clever with the theme and creative in his item usage to do something that I can safely say I've not seen done with Heromachine before. Also, I'm a music geek, so that probably helped.

Winner: djuby- Ode To Joy

Ā Your challenge this week is to create a space probe, space ship, space station…whatever tickles your warp core.

Character Of The Week- Anorhil

*sigh*

I thought we had quite a good run of featuring different people each week for COTW. Unfortunately, Candruth has decided to show up again, so it means back to business as it was earlier this year, because it's so hard not to pick her work when doing these posts. Her shading and use of colour are almost unequalled. This week had no shortage of excellent pictures from members of the community, but this one just stood out.

OCD (Open Critique Day) #35

Sorry guys, if it seems like I've just dropped off the face of the earth for a while there. I've been dealing with some fairly large personal demons of my own.

But anyways, I hope you (if you celebrate it) had a good Thanksgiving! Personally, I had a good one.

How this goes:Ā Ā 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 sureĀ that you only post pictures that are your own design and not any that are copyrighted or based off of copyrighted characters.Ā 

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.

Anime Talk: Digimon Adventure tri.

Hi guys, JR here. Yes, I know this is usually Kaldath's post. But bear with me. I have temporarily taken over the Anime Talk this week, because it fits better than doing a JReviews.

And with that out of the way, let me just lay a few things out for you. Hello, my name is JR, you guys should all know me, and I am a MASSIVE (readĀ MASSIVE) Digimon fan. Seriously, you think I'm bad with Doctor Who, you ain't seen nothing yet.

With that out of the way, let's begin.

I was kinda stuck on what to do for this weeks CDC. But then I came across this word as dictionary.com's word of the day:

Gratulation:Ā a feeling or the expression of joy.
