Character Design Contest ♯143- Air

The third element in or Classical Elements contest theme, this week I want you guys to create a character or scene that represents air. Now, the first two elements were quite straight forward, but our last two are likely not going to be as simple, so I'll just leave it up to your interpretation on how you handle this contest. Lets just say, it's gonna be a bit up in the air.

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.

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

Character Design Contest ♯142 (Water) Poll

Character Design Contest ♯141 (Fire) Winner

This weeks poll was very hotly contested, which is to be expected when you have contestants who are both literally and figuratively on fire. I was actually expecting it to be a walkover for our eventual winner, but it wasn't, he was run close for most of the week by second place and even at the end of the week all entries were covered by 25 votes, which isn't much. We've had polls where there's been 25 votes between first and second. But anyway, the flame that burned brightest in this contest was the man who I now believe has the outright highest number of wins for CDC's, Mr AMS and his amazing entry, It comes from fire. Congrats AMS and well done to everyone who entered.

[polldaddy poll="9115934"]

Time for another poll! This time we have some boots. Walk on over and tell me which of these pieces of footwear you would like to see kicking around the Machine. I will put my best foot forward and try to create them to your satisfaction.

We've got the new Wonder Woman boots from the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie.

Some tall black boots that AMS suggested.

Some cloth-wrapped boots that may or may not have been from a Star Wars property.

 

The poll is closed and the winner is Cloth-Wrapped Boot! I will create this asset and add it to HeroMachine over the next week. 

The poll will close at Midnight on Tuesday, October 13th.

The normal rules apply, which are: You are limited to Three (3) entries which are due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday October 13th. Of course I as always expect you to keep your entries no worse than PG-13 in nature and that you follow all the normal rules of the forum when writing your caption for the above image. That being said I wish you all Good luck!

Pop Quiz – Results!

There were five awesome, and very moody, entries this week.

Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason I cannot get them to appear in this post. Not sure why...probably gremlins...anyway, you can check them out for yourself if you are so inclined.

So to cut a long story short, this week's winner is ...Cliff! While it may have been a character we have seen from Cliff before, this was a brand new take on him. and an impressive one at that.

Please join me in congratulating Cliff. Your villain prize will be posted when I think of and render an adversary worthy of London Fog.

There will be no PQ this weekend as it is Canadian Thanksgiving and I will be in a turkey coma.

See you in two!
