Both will receive a version of their character rendered in HM3 by yours truly. Your prizes will be posted to the blog later this week

A few years ago, a contest series ran on the HM Forums where the goal was to design a chess set – piece by piece – so I thought I would give it a try as a CDC. (Above are my entries for the black and white pawn in the original contest.)
So your challenge this week is to create designs for both the black and white pawns. Entries may be submitted as 1 rendering or 2 – it is up to you.
The winner this week will receive a HeroMachine rendering of my version of one of their winning designs.
Please follow the instructions below regarding the naming of entries.
You may enter up to three times.

Hey everyone, today we’re doing a book review! I recently got my hands on a long-awaited (as in was preordered for my birthday back in January) book from the Dragon Age universe: Hard In Hightown. I won’t go into any spoilers, for either the book or the games, so you should be good as far as that’s concerned. Let’s see how it is!
