Hi guys, your friendly neighbour-hood Creators Club reminder man here. Just to let you know that you only have one week left to submit your entries for this years Creators Club poster. Now I have had quite a few submissions already, but I still think we can do better. So keep 'em comin'.

You can find any further information here: http://www.heromachine.com/2014/01/08/creators-club-2014/

Remember, this only happens once a year, so if you want to be immortalised forever as part of the HM community for this year, make sure you enter.

JR out.

Hey guys, just a reminder that, if you haven't already, you can still submit entries for this years creators club poster. I've had a few entries already, but I'd still like more.

You can find the entry requirements and other info here: http://www.heromachine.com/2014/01/08/creators-club-2014/

To everyone who has submitted stuff already, thanks. However, I am still waiting for text from one person (CantDraw, I'm looking at you here), so anyone who is thinking of submitting stuff, take this as a warning, if I don't get text by the shut off date of Feb 5th, you won't be in the poster, which would be a shame.

Anyway, that's all I wanted to say, so JR out.

Hey guys, JR here. I don't know if you guys remember but last year and in 2011 (don't know what happened to 2012) Hammerknight and Atomic Punk did Heromachine Creators Club posters, which you can check out here- http://www.heromachine.com/2011/06/02/2011-heromachine-creators-club-wanted-poster/ (2011) and here- http://www.heromachine.com/2013/05/02/creators-club-poster-2013/ (2013). Now, it would be nice if this became an annual thing, so I'm going to be doing it this year.

Now, the theme for this year is MiB ('Machiners in Black). Now Marx has recently provided everyone with a fine selection of suits, so there can be no excuses for sloppy dressing. Just make a self portrait (either realistic or idealised, it doesn't matter) of yourself in a black suit (sunglasses and other accessories optional) or a black dress if you're female and don't want to be wearing a suit. You don't have to do anything fancy, basic forward facing pose without any zypping will do fine, but I must insist on no backgrounds. When you are finished email your entry to me as a PNG transparent file WITH A TEXT FILE (preferably as a word document, don't paste the text into the email) so I can resize characters for consistency. Send your entries to me at jr19759@hotmail.co.uk. Please make sure you title the email something applicable like Creators Club or Machiners In Black, because if I get a (No Subject) email from an email address I don't recognise, it's going straight into my spam folder and you won't get to be on the poster.

Only one entry per person and please try to limit the number of revisions you do, because it's more than likely I'll just use the first one you send me. Please name your file as [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you e-mail it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png. He would save the Text as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.txt.

I will be accepting submissions from today through to Feb 5th and I'll reveal the final poster sometime in February. This event is open to everyone in the community, you don't have to be especially prolific or be a power user or anything, just being a part of the heromachine community is enough.

And finally, remember this is not a contest, it's just a bit of fun to showcase the community and its members, so have fun with it.
