That being said I wish you all Good luck!

Pop Quiz – Results!

Five great entries this week. It’s gonna be hairy picking a winner…sorry.

First Stulte’s King of Trolls; beautifully done and very creative; also the drops of added colour are a nice touch.

Next Herr D’s whimsical take on a beard/cello hybrid. One of the best imaginations on HM!

Dreadyacht conglomerated what appears to be hundreds of hairpieces into this elaborate creation.

And finally Cliff; form and function. Actually saw something similar to this at Fan Expo yesterday, but instead of a bird, his beard held a fish bowl. Well done as always.

Very close  call this week, with dreadyacht winning by a whisker…sorry. Sometimes less is more, but not this time!

Join me in congratulating dreadyacht and see you on Saturday.

 

Character Design Contest ♯138- Am I Evil?

It’s been a while since we’ve had a villains exclusive contest. Therefore, you may only enter this contest if you have aspirations towards world domination, an unquenchable thirst for revenge or a insatiable desire for destruction, mayhem and chaos. And your picture must show someone or something that isn’t very nice either. Other than that, there are no other rules (apart from the obvious keep it PG and no copyright characters). But other than that, go wild.

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.

Character Design Contest ♯136 (Winging It) Winner

Much better turn out this week than last week. Hopefully this isn’t going to be come a recurring thing where we have a good week then a bad week then another good week and so on and so forth. Anyway, the winner. Now, our winner this week obviously has just bought themselves a new pair of shoes, because they quite literally walked this poll, taking 45% of the vote (also, very interestingly, this poll went in alphabetical order, which amuses me). So please join me in congratulating Anarchangel, whose pic The Raptor soared higher than all others this week.

Pop Quiz – I Didn’t Like My Beard At First…But It Grew On Me.

Stop-met-het-maken-van-deze-grooming-fouten-6lk

On this day in 1698, Russia’s Peter the Great imposed a tax on beards.

Your Pop Quiz challenge this time around is to create a beard that would have cost a fortune in rubles to maintain.

There is no prize. There is no poll. The winner is chosen by me.

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;
  • 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 9pm Eastern on Sunday, September 6th.

Open Critique Day #30

Well, OCD is now back! I’m sorry for the long time I’ve gone without posting it; other things had popped up during the summer.

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.

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

Character Design Contest ♯137- It’s All Greek To Me

♯Cliche title

Anyway. What I want you guys to do this week is create an image based on Ancient Greece. It can be based around historical events, such as Thermopylae or the ancient Olympics (just no nudity please, let’s keep this PG), historical figures, such as Socrates or Alexander The Great (yes he was Macedonian, but he counts) or you can do Greek Mythology, classical heroes, the pantheon or the numerous creatures and monsters of Ancient Greece. Now, I love Greek history, so alongside the usual creativity criteria that I judge by, I will be looking at historical accuracy as well. So don’t make the writer of the Iliad yellow skinned whatever you do.

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.
