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 isĀ Geno who won for their depiction of depression,Ā Haunted. Congrats Geno, and well done to all of our entrants, don't get too sad you didn't win.

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.

On October 3, 1931 the comic strip Dick Tracy first appeared in the New York News.
Your challenge this week is to come up with a unique detective character.

You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!
All entries must be in JPG or PNG formĀ (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (likeĀ the HeroMachine forums,ImageShack,Ā PhotoBucket, or whatever);
This contest will close at 9pm Eastern on Sunday, October 4th.

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:Ā Ā 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 sureĀ that you only post pictures that are your own design and not any that are copyrighted or based off of copyrighted characters.Ā
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.

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. Justā¦ The colours, the shading, the use of items, the atmosphere, justā¦ 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 .........................

Five great entries this week.
Cliff entered a woodland piper with some very nice detail.
Dreadyacht's Guiturtle is very creative.
Geno came up with a very creepy Jack in the Box.
HerrD entered a Horn Crested Rattler: whimsical and slightly bizarre.
And Keric entered a hard rocking chick with amazing pants.
Great entries all, and for the second week in a row the win goes to Keric! Super job! Please join me in congratulating Keric, and thanks to all who entered.
See you Saturday.

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 RPGās 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 arenāt certain, donāt enter it, because Iām not going to go back through all of the contests and check.
