Gallery Grabs- Iscarioto

So, last week I asked everyone who I should cover this week on Gallery Grabs and there were some great suggestions, so naturally I've ignored them all (for the time being anyway), because one of my favourite creators just decided to show up again after being M.I.A for around a year. So you really think I'm gonna pass up this opportunity to revisit his gallery?

Warning, I go all odd half way through this. Sorry.

Character Design Contest ♯121- Fight Club

Fun one for y'all this week. What I want you guys to do is come up with the best fight scene you possibly can in Heromachine. Now, obviously you have to have two characters at least in your pics, but don't think you have to be limited to just that, you can do more if you so wish. And I'm not just talking about fist fights here, you can do sword fights, gun-slinger duels or a full out fantasy battle, if it takes your fancy.

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 ♯119 (Comic Book Covers) Winner

You want to know something insane. This weeks winner hasn't won a CDC since the first contest of last year! I was sure he'd won one more recently than that. Or maybe I'm just getting muddled because of some of he COTW's from last year? Either way, this weeks winner is RobM for his Minute Smasher cover. Congrats Rob and well done to everyone else who entered.

OCD (Open Critique Day) #25

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.

Character Of The Week: DiCicatriz- Worldbreaker

STOP PRESS!!! We have a COTW that doesn't feature either Jeimuzu or Ubiquitous Pixel for once! Shock Horror!

Anyway, being sensible (which is unusual in of its self), the decision as to whom to feature this week came down to a choice between three different pictures from three classic creators. However, I'm not doing a three way COTW because I did eventually decide to go with DiCicatriz and his Worldbreaker. I'm not really sure why, but this one just stood out to me the most when I was trying to decide, so I went with it.
