Pop Quiz 22 Results!

Thanks to everyone who entered the last Pop Quiz, which challenged you to come up with a space ship. Here are all of the entries:

As for my personal favorite, I'm going to go with Skybandit. I liked the ship design the most, though the background and the planet I think aren't as successful as they could have been. But it's not a background challenge, it's about the ship, and I thought this one worked great.

Congratulations to Skybandit and thanks to everyone who took the time to play along!

Pop Quiz 21: Spaceship

Happy Saturday, folks! Your one-day quick-fire challenge today is to create a spaceship! Think the USS Enterprise, the Death Star, X-Wing Fighters, Martian saucers, huge interstellar gas harvesters, anything at all you can imagine that's designed for travel outside of planetary gravity wells.

You only get one entry -- that's right, just one! So make it your best. Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular challenge, but instead of a whole week I'll announce my favorites either tonight or tomorrow morning. Elaborate backgrounds aren't necessary, though if you've got one it's fine.

  • All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, the HeroMachine Forums, whatever);
  • Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
  • Please name your files as [your name]-[character name].[file extension]. 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). Here's a quick-start guide on how to do that for various image hosting services.

I'll pick one entry as my personal favorite, which will get to be featured in the side bar to the right for ultimate glory! As a bonus you're allowed to say you won the Internet for a few days.

Good luck!
