HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator

Your challenge this week is to create an Avant Garde fashion design worthy of the Paris runway. There is no limit on number of entries this week.

Rules for posts, contests, and challenges: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. 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);

• Entries must be made as a comment or comments to this post, containing a link directly to the image and the character name;
• Please name your filesas [your name]-[character name].[file extension] before you upload it. So DiCicatriz, for instance, would save his “Bayou Belle” character image as DiCicatriz-BayouBelle.png.

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 Sunday, January 29th at 9:00am Eastern.

I can't even tell you all how great it was to see the number of entries you folks submitted this week. It was also very cool to see some unfamiliar names among the entries. I was considering shelving the CDCs, or at least limiting them to once or twice per month, but a turn out like this gives me some degree of hope for their future. Clearly the triple play format is popular, and that is good to know.

Honorable mentions go to Goku069 and Kellkin.

And this week's winner is Ross Wrighr. Great concept and very interesting character.

Please join me in congratulating Ross on his win. Well done you!
