New Blog Topic Ideas

I’m not going to do the Monday Night Movie Club this week, because it hasn’t been getting much interest over the last few weeks. Instead I thought I’d take this opportunity to try out some ideas for new blog topics. I’ve made a list of things I think could work, which I’ll explain after the jump, and you guys can vote for which one you like best or add your own suggestions.

Pop Quiz 5

For this week’s pop quiz, your challenge is to decorate ONE of the items below.

hm3-beta

All of the items can be found in Items- Right: Miscellaneous. I’m not really looking for anything other than the item being decorated, so you don’t have to do a character to go with the item, just the item will do.

You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!

All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShackPhotoBucket, or whatever);

  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
  • Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this). See this post on how to get the direct link for most sites.

You have 24 hours. Good luck.

Poll Position: Movie Time!

IM3 vs MOS

 

This weeks poll position question is simple. Out of the two summer of 2013 superhero movies that have currently been released, Iron Man 3 and Man Of Steel which do YOU consider to be the better superhero movie, the better block buster if you will?

[polldaddy poll=”7185773″]

I have not seen either movie as of yet so can not give my own opinion on this topic however I’d be highly interested to hear yours. Take a moment to vote and be sure to leave a comment below explaining your choice.

 

Character Design Contest ♯28- You Rule

Ok, for this week’s character design contest I want you to design the best ‘Leader/ Ruler’ character you can. I’m not thinking of like a “team leader” I’m thinking “World Leader” (yes with capitals). So, I want Kings, Queens, Emperors, Tyrants, Presidents, Dictators and Religious Rulers or any variation of the above that comes to mind. They can be from the past, the future or the present, from a fantasy realm, a sci-fi realm, a real or fictional country (just so long as they are your own creations and not recognisably a real-life person). Just make them awesome.

No limits on entries this week. 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. New rule: characters entered for these contests must have been made specifically for these contests (just to make sure no-one accidentally posts something they have entered into another contest previously).

P.s.- I’m giving up on the naming policy because so many people (some of whom I know for a fact know how to do it properly because they’ve done it before) still don’t get it right, and just as long as you give your work a clear name and I can tell who its by from the name in the comments, I’ll just rename the file when I save it. HOWEVER, this only applies to these contests, djuby may not have a similar policy for the Pop Quizzes.

Pop Quiz 4

Hi everyone, JR here

djuby is unable to post this weeks pop quiz so I’m doing it today.

Today I want you to create an awesome picture using only what you can find in these slots: Background, Backplane, Companions, Insignia, Item Left/ Right Hopefully this will test you guys and make you use items in new and imaginative ways.

You only get one entry so be creative, and above all else, have fun!

All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine forums,ImageShackPhotoBucket, or whatever);

  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • The image must be new and designed specifically for the Pop Quiz;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.
