It's interesting the difference hiding the result makes. Looking at the results of the preliminary round, you'd think it obvious who our winner would be, but actually the complete opposite is true. It was fairly close between four of our contenders, but our winner just ran away with the vote.
As previously, I'll run down our top three in ascending order.
3. Geno- Haunted (CDC140- Getting Emotional)
2. Linea24- A Faeries First Steps into the Sky (CDC106- TGT Fantasy)
And Number 1, this years Character Of The Year is…..

Hey guys, JR here. As it's getting to the end of the year, I thought it might be fun to compile all of this years COTW's into one big (and long) list, just for the hell of it.
Enjoy.

So, the preliminary polls have closed and we've narrowed down the winners of all of the CDC's this year to just 5, the winners of the preliminary polls and the highest voted second place. You now have until Christmas Eve to decide which of these images will be crowned Character Of The Year and enter the Heromachine Hall Of Fame. And to make things more interesting, I've hidden the results on the poll, don't want our contenders knowing how they're doing now do we.

Usually, when it comes to talking about djuby's work, you'd be expecting a lot of talk about costumes, right. Well this week neither of the characters featured are clothed (as far a I can tell), but it's alright because the pictures are headshots. And the reason why they're being featured is because, well, just look at that shading. The hair on Opal is beautiful and the facial shading on both (but particularly Lapis) is stunning. It shows just how much you can add to a fairly simple picture by adding a bit of well thought out shading.

Hey guys, JR here. As with this year, I'm now looking for someone to do next years Creators Club Poster, starting in January and hopefully being finished in February.
For those of you who aren’t in the know, the Creators Club poster is a community project where one of the members of the community (previously myself, MadJack Atomic Punk and Hammerknight) have come up with a theme for everyone to follow (Superheroes, Men In Black, Chibi’s and Westerns), and then people create a self-portrait of themselves fitting to that theme. All of the self-portraits are then sent to the organiser, who then puts them all together in one big poster that showcases the community that year. It’s not a challenge, it’s just a bit of fun, you don’t have to be a Power User to participate, you just have to use the site and follow the submission rules for the poster.
Now, obviously, we're trying to get new people to do these each year, so if you would like to volunteer and you have an idea for a theme, email it to me at the usual address (it's in my About section at the bottom of the post).
Oh, and you don't have to try and make it better than MadJack's was last year, so don't worry if you don't think you can. MJ went above and beyond last year and I don't expect anyone to do that sort of craziness again.

Don't ask me what happened to 2012.

So, I'm going to give this weeks CDC win to superfly30 for their interpretation of Mr. Jaggers from Great Expectations. The reason I chose this one was because not only did it feel the most complete entry this week, but it also kept the closest to the source material. The character actually looks like you could imagine him looking from the authors description of him. So congrats to superfly and well done to everyone who entered.
