Character Design Contest ♯46 (Cosmic) Winner

So, we had some excellent entries for last weeks CDC and, accordingly, the poll was close. However, this didn't stop it from being another win for prswirve for his Hawk Interceptor. I do believe that's now your fifth win, sir.

30 Days Challenge 2013 Day 2: Iron Spear the Demon Haunted

The obscure and isolated tribe of Native Americans had never heard of Christ, or the Hell He claimed to save the White Man from, or the steel and iron used to subjugate the land. Until they did, and then it was almost too late. I say almost, because a shaman of the Tribe happened to chance upon a dark ritual outside one of the wooden stockades the invaders had spread like a pox, and a demon intended for the innocent lad invaded him instead. But the soul of a Sioux was made of different stuff than the hellspawn of the West was used to, and in place of subjugation the two joined in a once-in-an-eternity pact to fight their mutual enemy.

New DC Comics superhero inspired by young Cree activist

Shannen Koostachin organized her fellow students in 2008 to lobby the government to replace temporary buildings with a new school in her community of Attawapiskat. She succeeded — but revelling in her victory was cut short, as she died in a car accident in 2010. Koostachin isn't far from cartoonist Jeff Lemure's thoughts in drawing up a new superhero for DC Comics.

A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook and I found it interesting and thought I'd share it.

Power User Profiles: Vengeance

I'll be honest, I didn't originally consider this week's nominee when I first brought back the PUP's on the basis that I thought he'd already done one. He's got to have gone the longest between being nominated and actually getting to do a profile, having been nominated way back on the first ever PUP. Like all the best 'machiners, he has an easily identifiable style that means you can tell whose work it is just by looking and his costume designs are always very well thought out and visually interesting. So, here you go Vengeance, this one is long over-due.

Character Design Contest ♯47- Giving Up For Ghost(s)

This week, as it's halloween, I would like you to break out the bedsheets and show me your best ghoul, ghast or ghost. You are free to do any kind of non-corperal entity, from a pernicious poltergeist to a frightening phantom. You can do this any way you want, horror-centric, fantasy, historical, real-life or you could do a Boston Brand (not literally, 'cause that would beak the rules, but you get the idea). No zombies are allowed (on account of them being corperal entities), but possessed objects/ people do count, as long as there is some evidence of said possessing spirit.

As per usual, there are no entry limits, the contest will close at 12am Sunday (blog time). Please read the 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.

This weeks poll had the highest number of votes we've ever had. And whilst it wasn't as much of a walk over as some previous polls, there was a very clear winner. And that winner was OnionBeam for Witch Of The Forest.
