Posted on November 5, 2012 by | Comments Off on Caption Challenge 133: On the Internet, no one can hear you scream

It's time for another new Caption Challenge! This week you're tasked with coming up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel:

I'll pick out some as my personal favorites to highlight in a post next Monday, and then I'll choose one of those to bear the standard as the "Featured Creator of the Week" atop the right column.

All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!

No limit to entries, but please, self-edit and only put up ones you genuinely think are good!

Character Challenge 100 Vote!

Posted on September 24, 2012 by | Comments Off on Character Challenge 100 Vote!

Thanks to everyone who entered an illustration for Character Challenge 100, which asked you to pick your single favorite creation with HeroMachine. I've collected all of the entries into one huge poll, and now the job is yours -- pick your top ten favorite images! The top five vote-getters as of midnight Sunday will each receive a Jeff-drawn version of their submission.

I've left off the name of the creator to be as fair as possible. You can click on any image to see it at a much larger size in a new tab or window.

If your entry has something wrong with it (like I didn't title it correctly), please let me know. If you submitted an entry but don't see it here, you probably either didn't title or link it correctly. If I couldn't tell what the character name, or your name, was by looking at the file name, it was disqualified.

Good luck everyone! Please feel free to speak up in the comments to discuss your favorites. I'm really proud of the quality of work you all have put together for this centennial edition of the Character Challenges.

[polldaddy poll="6556014"]

It's time for another new Caption Challenge! This week you're tasked with coming up with the best caption for this comics panel:

This one is a little different in that you're not filling in a dialog balloon, but rather coming up with a caption that might appear above or below the image. I'll pick out some as my personal favorites to highlight in a post next Monday, and then I'll choose one of those to bear the standard as the "Featured Creator of the Week" atop the right tool bar.

All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!

Caption Contest 125

Posted on July 16, 2012 by | Comments Off on Caption Contest 125

I'm announcing a major change in the way contests work here on HeroMachine.com: I will not be offering custom items, portraits, or sketches of the day as prizes for the foreseeable future.

Instead, each week I'll put together a list of "Personal Favorites" from all the submissions, and then I'll select one as "Jeff's Favorite". That person will be the "Featured Creator of the Week" in the sidebar.

I've got to stop adding items to the program for a while so I can focus on doing the Left-Right conversions and get to a stable beta, so I can start selling it for those who want to download it. That doesn't mean I won't ever add new items, I just need to put that on hold for a while so I can hit the next milestone.

Having said that, it's time for another new Caption Contest! Your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel (which comes to us courtesy of the always awesome Glenn3's "Say What?" PhotoBucket site):
