Character Design Contest ♯132 (One Slot) Winner
Yet another low turnout for the poll to mirror the low turnout for the entries, but even so, this poll did throw up some surprises. I knew it was going to be close, but I didn't expect our eventual second place finisher to be the one challenging for the win, considering it was the most "standard" of our entries, but there you go. I guess people must have really liked it for this one.
And the second surprise comes from the fact that, according to my records (which admittedly do only cover Hammerknights and my own contests, so there may be a Jeff run contest I don't know about here), this is the first CDC win for our winner, which is amazing considering his Power User status. But then Herr D (who won with his piece Foggy Moonrise On Aelihoh) was never one for being conventional. So congratulations Herr D, and well done to all of our contestants.

HOHOHO! MERRY CHR…. WAIT! WHAT?!
X-Mas in Summer?! Erm, well ... something like that. I was bored and so I added "a few" new items to the 'machine.
And now enjoy - that's an order! 😉
(As usual it's strongly recommended to clear your browser cache to see the new items ...)

Character Design Contest ♯133- Great Intelligence
Ok guys, for this weeks challenge I want you to create a character that is more likely to use their brain to solve problems rather than any physical might. This can come in any form you can think of (for example both super-intelligence and psychic powers would apply, but logical thinking and detective sleuthing are also applicable, vis-a-vis Sherlock Holmes or Batman) and doesn't just have to be confined to superheroes, you can do Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Western, Noir, Anime, etc. You are also not just confined to heroes either, evil geniuses are welcomed, provided world domination is non-successful at this stage. Of course, it would be nice if you can show your character using their incredible mental abilities as well.
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.

Authors Wanted!
Hello, Guys and Gals of the HeroMachine community!
I am writing today to let you all know that I am looking for people who may be interested in writing articles for the HeroMachine blog! As of late I have noticed that I am having difficulty getting my post out on time and that I have been letting the bulk of the writing duties to JR which I believe is a bit unfair. I personally can not commit to any additional writing time at the moment and so I turn to you the community for some help. If any of you are interested in taking up the keyboard for HeroMachine drop me an email at Kaldath@heromachine.com and we can discuss it.

Character Design Contest ♯131 (All In One) Winner
Well that was a disappointing turnout for the poll. Considering the quality of the entrants, to not even get 90 votes is rubbish. I can't even say that people saw that the winner was running away with the vote and so they didn't vote, because he only won by 14 votes. I don't know.
Anyway, this weeks winner, by the aforementioned number of votes and picking up his first CDC win in the process, was Skoul for his piece HeatStroke. Congrats Skoul and well done to everyone who entered.

Character Of The Week: Ubiquitous Pixel- Spartacus Attacks
Gonna be a condensed COTW this week unfortunately, due to me being very short on time. But it's not like there's a lot that needs to be said about this one anyway, nor is there much that can be said, due to the fact that it is very hard to speak when ones jaw is on the floor. I mean look at how the pose was put together, the masking that makes up the torso is incredible and the same for the helmet. The entire thing just screams action. Job well done.
