Character Design Contest ♯140 (Getting Emotional) Winner

Not much really to say about this weeks poll. Two people looked to be in contention for half of the week then one just pulled away, so normal practice really. However, the result did mean that we have (as far as I’m aware) a first time winner, which will make that person very happy. And that person is Geno who won for their depiction of depression, Haunted. Congrats Geno, and well done to all of our entrants, don’t get too sad you didn’t win.

JReviews: Doctor Who Series 9 Episode 3- Under The Lake

Ok, so, just to let you all know I’m going to try my hardest to resist singing songs from The Little Mermaid during this review, even though the episode title really makes me want to. And with that out of the way, let’s dive in. Pun intended.

OCD (Open Critique Day) #33

Well, I’m back and fully recovered from my surgery! Thanks for all the well-wishes! Sorry this is late, though; I slept in too late.

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: Stulte- The Floating Archipelago & Honu Po O Kea

There are some members of this community that only seem to have one setting, that setting being “wow”. We all know that Stulte is an absolute master at world building and fantasy-realism design work and that is plain to see in the second of our two featured pictures today. But the first one. The first one. Just… The colours, the shading, the use of items, the atmosphere, just… wow is the only word I have right now. As for the second picture. Well the shading is something else. My only gripe is, how is something that big floating like that? It does not compute.

Greetings Fellow Machiners, It is time for the results of our bi-weekly caption contest.

That being said your winner this week is …………………….

Character Design Contest ♯141- Fire

Ok guys, for this weeks contest we’re going to be starting on the theme of the Four Classical Elements. And we’re kicking off with fire. So, the idea is simple, you create either a fire themed character or a fire themed image (e.g. a burning building or a campfire). Simple enough right?

As per usual, no limits on 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.

I will say one thing. You lot have some repressed emotional trauma or something. Only two people entered something that could be considered positive emotions, and even then they are both traits usually found in psychopaths. So, if you would please take a seat on that red couch over there and we can discuss it. Now, could you tell me about your relationship with your father…
