Anyway, inspired by the brilliant entries into my last redesign contest, I’ve had a go redesigning the two characters my self, borrowing/ stealing liberally from NHA247 & headlessgeneral’s redesigns (hope you guys don’t mind)
You can see their designs here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/art-contests-challenges/jr19759s-redesign-contest/My Redesigns: Gold Hawk & Queen Eagle
I absolutely loved the chest plate NHA247 came up with for his redesign of Gold Hawk, in fact there where only two things that stopped his taking the win. I’m not a huge fan of the dark yellow he used for the armour, it made it more Green Hawk than Gold Hawk, and the beak he gave the character, which looked a bit weird.
Headlessgeneral’s take on Queen Eagle won the contest and if you check out the image, you can see why. He really captured the essence of the character. The only thing that I changed about the design were the cape and mask.Profiles: Twins, born to a mortal woman and the dying spirit of an ancient god, Leigh and Lance Walker were given mystical powers by their father in the hope that they would grow up to revive him. However, they grew up unaware of their origin and instead used their powers to fight crime. Both have the ability to fly, as well as super-strength and a telepathic bond that makes them an unbeatable team when they work together.
Ok, this weeks contest is now closed. And I don’t envy Jeff now doing the big contests. Judging this is very hard. But I’ve decided that this weeks winner is headlessgeneral. I loved both of his redesigns, but I have to single out his Queen Eagle, the only entry that made me seriously reconsider redesigning my own character in the same way. I also have to give shout outs to Livewyre1014 and djuby.
Anyway, on to our next contest. Redesign either (or both) of these guys.
Arya
Damien Newark
Arya- A god-like being born from the heart of a star. He has a weakness to the darkness, so he creates his own light from a biological generator on his back. He wields a burning sword that has the power to destroy planets.
Damien Newark: An explorer, historian and the most respected expert in mythology and demonology in the early 16th century, Damien Newark was part of a team who set out to discover an ancient treasure hidden in a temple in the holy land, the original Akashic Records. However, when they found it, they exposed themselves to a terrible danger, as the temple was guarded by a demon known as Zarathos. Unaware of the demon, the team set up camp outside the temple. Only Damien would wake up. Discovering his team-mates slaughtered and blood on his hands, he fled the area, but death followed him were-ever he went. A few days later he discovered he was beginning to transform. Zarathos had bonded with Damien’s soul and had started to take over his body. Distancing himself from society, Damien started to search for a way to remove the demon from his body.
No major rules, like last time, just keep with the idea of the character. You have a week. Good Luck.
Thanks Legatus.
Anyway, in response to what Scatman said at the top of this page, and since he hasn’t told me specifically which one he wants me to upload, the individual images of the group shot characters on the last page. You can find their profiles on the last page also.

Note: As you have probably noticed, I haven’t quite got the hang of posting these in this way yet, otherwise there would only be one link under this. Alas no, and it keeps changing the name of any picture I try to upload to Mr Mass so I can’t be sure I’m uploading the right image, so unless anyone has any bright ideas I’m uploading these individually.
