Posted on December 22, 2013 by | Comments Off on Character Design Contest ♯53 (Snow Joke) Winner

Well, I've got to kick off by saying, wow, that was a lot of votes. Second highest for one of my blog contests I believe, and two creations seemed to run off with the vote from the start. However, there can only be one winner and, with a very seasonal style, the winner this week is Jeimuzu for his Father Frost. Congrats Jeimuzu and thanks to everyone who entered. Remember, voting for the COTY is still open until Christmas Eve, so keep voting, it's really close at the moment so don't let your favourite down. Anyway, see you guys on Christmas Eve.

FootwearSet_121913

Whiz Bang and Madjack are stepping up and providing the latest in footwear! So jump into these designer originals and avoid being out of style this season.

The Gothy Buckle Shoe was runner up in the Whiz Bang Item Poll#2 and is moping around in FootRight/MaleStandard.

The Heavy SciFi Infantry boot stomped the competition in the Whiz Bang Item Poll#2 and has fortified itself in FootRight/MaleTech.

Madjack provided the tech boot where it is kicking it in FootRight/MaleTech.

Madjack also went back in time to provide the dino foot specimen which now roams FootRight/MaleStandard.

Kaldath's Caption Contest #17 – Winners

Posted on December 18, 2013 by | Comments Off on Kaldath's Caption Contest #17 – Winners

Last week I asked you to caption the following image:

70marvelpanel11

 

There were many fine entries and these are my top five:

**********

Skybandit:

The Vision can only get called “Mr. Roboto” and “Astro Boy” so many times before it begins to take its emotional toll!

**********

Stevedore:

After hours of interfacing directly with their servers, the Vision still couldn’t access heathcare.gov.

**********

Herr D:

. . . . and, realizing his 11th costume redesign wasn’t cool EITHER, he began thinking of all the HM3 artists he’d snubbed

**********

Timedrop23:

Vision can’t believe he sat through the end credits of The Avengers just to see them all sitting around drinking beer.

**********

CantDraw:

The tightness of his corset was too much for The Vision.

**********

And our winner is ..................................................

See horse? Sea horse!

Posted on December 17, 2013 by | Comments Off on See horse? Sea horse!

Since I had it drawn anyway for a "super hero pet" commission, I went ahead and added this little fellow into Companion Standard. Because this is much more practical than skiing through the air on flying fish.

Kaldath's Character Challenge #3

Posted on December 17, 2013 by | Comments Off on Kaldath's Character Challenge #3

It's time once again for me to ask you to take one of my creations and reinterrupt it! This week for your creative pleasure I want you to redesign my character ...........................

Britannica

Britannica HM3

 

A little about the character:

Britannica is a master of all things mystical, and gets all his powers from magic. As a desendent of Merlin Britannica is the most power human mage of my Super Hero world all on his own, however his cloak ( the clasp really so feel free to redesign as something else ) and belt triple his own natural magical ability and together grant to him the power of flight.

 

The Rules:

You have no limits on the number of entries for this challenge however you most maintain all the rules for posting characters here most importainly is keeping it within the bounds of a PG-13 rating at worst. All entries most be created using only some version of Heromachine. No photoshopping except for basic cropping, and or a simple basic board around the image as a whole. All entries must be submitted no later then 12 Noon Eastern time on Monday December 23rd. 

Good luck everyone!
