Character Design Contest ♯113- Getting Clerical

So, last week we did a nice and offensive RPG class, so this week lets take a step back and take on more of a support role shall we.  This weeks contest will see you take on the role of the Cleric, the healer of the group and general man of faith. Now, this class isn’t as varied as the Mage or Fighter classes, but basically what you are looking for is a medic that heals using faith in some sort of god, so it doesn’t have to be a Monk or Priest per say, Witch-Doctors and the like also count. It’ll be interesting to see what participation is like on this one.

As per usual, no limits on entries this week 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 ♯112 (Be A Pal-adin) Poll

[polldaddy poll=”8726873″]

Mod Note Please Read:

Now, before anyone votes I would like to make this clear, yes it does say Paladin in the contest title, but this contest is about designing the best character in any of the Fantasy RPG fighter/ warrior class staples, so knights, paladins, barbarians etc. So you don’t have to worry about “is this really a Paladin or not?” just vote for your favourite… if you can choose that is.

Character Design Contest ♯111 (A-Mage-ing) Winner

I have to say, the quality of the entries for this contest was superb (and the same also applies to the current contest, but that’s off topic) and the poll just proves it. It wasn’t a run away contest, it was closer between the top 3 than in some contests  gold and silver medal positions, but the winner still won by a decent margin (13 points I believe). And that winner is Blunt Object for his Tempest. Congrats  Blunt Object and well done to everyone else who entered, as I said, the quality in this contest was amazing.

111 Blunt Object- Tempest

Did he just make the 90’s make sense???

Nah.

“Mech Suit: Brightstrike” by Jeimuzu

Character Of The Week: Jeimuzu- Mech Suit: Brightstrike

I’m sorry, this is ridiculous. Does this not look like it was hand drawn and coloured rather than created on Heromachine? I mean, I see bits I recognise from the ‘machine, but the way they’re put together defies all logic. Those of you who remember the original COTW run know that I’m a big fan of Jeimuzu’s work, but this one takes the biscuit, cake, confectionary isle and the whole damn store. How long did this take to do anyway? I guess we now know what Jei was doing in the few months he was away from us. And if you would care to share exactly how you did that shading Jeimuzu-senpai, it would be much appreciated.

Oh, and Jeff, if you’re reading this, HOF at all? I think it deserves it.

For some reason I feel like watching Neon Genesis Evangelion….

Open Critique Day #17

Hello again, everyone! It’s time for another Open Critique Day! Fire away, everyone!

As for how this goes, you post a work of yours, finished or WIP (aka work in process, for those who are new to abbreviations), and then others give you critiques on your work.  I do not mind if you post the occasional non-HM picture or piece of writing. Just make sure that you only post pictures that are your own design and not any that 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.
