Quick and Easy Challenge #12: Winner

contestwinners

 

Plenty of good entries this week but I had to disqualify a few due to either improperly naming the file or because it came in after the 7am Eastern time deadline. So without further ado I give you my top 5 in no particular order.

popquizThis week HammerKnight asked me to handle the pop quiz so here we go. What I want to see is your best example of a Human-Animal Hybrid! One entry per person as always for these quick and easy challenges. Contest closes at 7am EST Sunday Morning.

 

I will be adhering to HammerKnights rules for this pop quiz which are:

My new 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 with “no” warnings.

Mangaverse mangles!

This week I am stepping away from regular comics and stepping into the world of the Marvel Mangaverse.

Cyclops_Mangaverse_by_lokingard

 

Ladies and Gentlemen please say hello to Cyclops from the Mangaverse version of the X-Men.  This looks sooooo bad that words almost fail me here but through all that bad two things stand out so much that I must mention them. The first, how does Scott turn his head while wearing that should/head contraption ? Granted the "Visor" and hat do not appear to be attached to the shoulder pieces, but said shoulders seem to press right up against his face as if it were some sort of  medical restraining device.

 

The second piece of awful also falls into the  "I don't know how he moves category". That Abdomen to mid thigh metal guard he has on! I just can't see how he bends his legs in that thing ?  This outfit not only falls into the ugly department is also falls into the it doesn't make sense department. I can't believe I am going to say this, but I think that even Rob Liefeld can design better costumes then this!!!

Poll Position: Armorers Challenge!

bubblegum_crisis_by_tso2me-d33xv4f

 

This weeks Poll Position I ask you to pick from a list of Power Armor wearing heroes and villain to pick your favorite based on  whatever criteria matters most to you.

Your Choices are as follows. The Beetle, The Blue Beetle, Crimson Dynamo, Doctor Doom, Force, Guyver One, Lex Luthor, Rocket Red, Steel, and Tech Jacket. 

These are mostly DC and Marvel characters, but there are a couple dark horses in there ( no pun intended). You may noticed I left a couple well known armor clad individuals off this list which I did for a reason. I did not want the popularity of Ironman and his ilk to slant the poll so I left them off.

Video #2: Heromachine Community Gallery

Here is my second video on the artwork of this fine community. I hope you enjoy it and let these great heromachine artist inspire you to push the limits of the program so that you to make great pieces of art!

 

A Fox in the Hen House or a Snake in the Grass ?

This weeks bad super costume present the Crimson Fox!

Crimson_Fox_001

 

The first two things that spring to my mind when looking at this outfit. First it is not even close to being crimson in color. Second this does not in the least resemble a fox! I have to say the most glaringly obvious flaw with this costume is the fact that she found a brown Cobra somewhere, skinned it and now wears it on her head! Other then that the costume is boringly basic the browns and black colors just combined in an unappealing manner here. In the end I feel the Crimson Fox would be more apply named the crap brown serpent!

Poll Position: The British Invasion

This week's Poll Position is for the Anglophiles out there. My question is this. "Which of these British SuperHeroes is your favorite" ? This isn't about costumes, or not only about costumes, this poll is about which of these do you like the best for whatever reason, costume, powers, personality, what have you.

[polldaddy poll="6919081"]

The Heroes I have picked are by no means the end all, be all of British Heroes therefore I have left this poll open for you to add in your own choice should you find it needful. My requirement for this poll is that the character needs to have been a SuperHero as some point in his/her career and have been born in Britain even if not operating from there.

 

Pictures and Wiki links for my Choices After the Jump. ( If you add an entry to the poll please post a wiki link for the character you have added )
