Character Design Contest ♯53- Snow Joke

Ok, for this weeks contest I want you guys to create something to do with winter and the festive season. It can be a snowy scene, a holly wreath, a snowman, a Christmas Tree,  a huge turkey dinner with all the trimmings, whatever you want. Just make it good (or in the case of the later, tasty).

No limits on entries this week, the contest will close at midnight Saturday (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.

Furniture

To complement the recently-added "Rooms" set of items, I've just released "Background-Furniture" for HeroMachine3, featuring such items as:

furnituresample

And more! As usual, you may have to refresh the page or clear your cache for the new option to appear.

The idea behind these is that you can use them either alone or in combination with the Rooms to dress an environment. They're all modern designs, but if they work well for you let me know and I can start on some fantasy and/or sci-fi settings as well. If there are additional furniture items you'd like to see, feel free to speak up in the comments.

Have fun!

Head Materials Added

I've just added the following items to Head-Male-Standard to match the bodies in Body-Male-Materials:

heads-materials

Male Body Materials Set Added

I've just added a new set of items to HeroMachine3, "Body-Male-Materials". It has the following options:

materials-male

As usual, you might have to clear your cache for the new stuff to appear.

From left to right and top to bottom, they represent a direct translation of the options in the same set for HeroMachine 2. They are:

  • Banded metal (already exists in another set);
  • Crystal (already exists in another set);
  • Concrete;
  • Earth/rock;
  • Lava/dirt with veins/blobby stuff;
  • Classic riveted robot;
  • Wood;
  • Shiny metal;
  • Slime/water;
  • Air/clouds/vapor;
  • Classic "Human Torch" style flame lines

I haven't broken them into pieces because a) I'm lazy and hate doing that and b) I wanted to see if there were any additional materials you'd want to see here. I think it makes more sense to have the full set available up front, then all the pieces later, to save so much scrolling.

Power User Profiles: Jeimuzu

Well, guess what's back. Yup, I'm going to bring back the Power User Profiles for at least this week because there was a certain creator that I just had to cover. One of my favourite creators, his style is simply brilliant, with quirky and unique poses and some truly amazing costumes (I'm running out of superlatives here). So, ladies and gentlemen please give a big hand to Jeimuzu.

Crystalline Head

Fabien raised the good point that a crystal body needs a crystal head, which I'm pretty sure must be an ancient Buddhist saying or something. Regardless, HeadMaleStandard now features this piece:
