Posted in Challenge Prizes, Challenges, Character Design Challenges
Your CDC challenge this week is to create an original heroic or villainous "space warrior" (something along the lines of an order of characters from a popular movie series maybe). Your submissions can be either human or alien in origin. These groups use laser swords…yeah…that’s what we’ll call them…which can be found in Items Right: Blades: Page 5.
The winning entrant will receive a HM3 version of their character rendered by yours truly.
The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way.
Rules for posts, contests, and challenges:
Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters.No characters based on Official RPG NPC's ( Non-Player Characters ). Please keep all submissions PG13. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warning. Only post characters that have been created solely using Hero Machine, and that you know for certain have never been entered in 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.
All entries must be in JPG or PNG form (BMPs are too big), posted to a publicly accessible website (like the HeroMachine :,ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or whatever);
Please make the link go directly to the image (like this) and not to a hosting jump page (like this).
This contest will close on Monday, May 11 at 6:00pm Eastern

Great works again this week folks. The renderings are awesome and the background stories were inspired.
Special shout out goes to Palazzo. First off Pool Shark is an amazing villain name. i was wishing that the thug would have been a bald guy with the number tattooed on his head. Still though, great job.
And now to the winner. This person captured what I believe is the true spirit of a henchman...probably nameless and easily replaced.
So the winner is...

Sorry for the late posting guys, but you all gave me a lot to think about. The entries this week were all great, but there were two that I really fell for.
For the Heroes - Vindicators by Scott Weyers
and for the villains - Black Hole by Palazzo
As a prize you will each be immortalized as the 8th hero and villain of the groups respectively.
Your prizes will be posted to the blog later this week.
Thanks to all who entered and to all those who shared their talents as part of volume 3 of Team Building.

Posted in Challenge Prizes, Challenges, Character Design Challenges, Uncategorized
The premise of this contest is that over the next number of weeks we will build a team of superheroes and a team of villains. Each week I will supply you with a role, name, or list of powers of one of the team members and you will use HM3 to create the character.
Your challenge this week is to come up with a team logo and team name for both groups. Both the name and logo should relate in some way to each group’s intergalactic makeup.
There will be two winners announced, and each winner will be immortalized by yours truly as the 8th and final members of each team.
Just to refresh your memories the teams are...
