The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Welcome to the thirdGraphic Violence Presents: Create a Super Hero/Villain contest!
The Theme for the fifth contest is: Halloween! In honor of one of the most badass holidays in the world, we're going to celebrate by coming up with the spookiest stuff you can think of! Anything related to Halloween or horror or spooky stuff is a go here.
Here are THE RULES:
Follow basic rules of the forums. That means no porn, no use of things like the N-bomb, etc. Check the rules thread for basic ideas.
All entries must be able to fit in the character limit of a single post. That's more than enough space.
Link to images over 200k. Make thumbnails if you have to.
You can make two entries. If you do, one must be a hero, and one must be a villain. We'll have separate polls for each.
And here are some GUIDELINES:
Your entry should contain the following:
The name of your character.
A drawing and/or description of the appearance of your character.
An origin story and/or biography of your character.
Powers and abilities, etc.
You aren't required to include all of these categories, and you may add more, but these should work as basic guidelines.
The deadline for entries is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 29th before 11:59 PM Central time.
BONUS FOR THOSE WHO SUCK AT ART
Here's a link to HeroMachine, where you can do simplified hero designs. It ain't perfect, but it'll do!
I'm currently doing a short write-up for my entry, and I'll toss it in here as soon as I ink the picture I did for him.
Also, I'm trying to do more art lately, as lately I've been so bogged down in schoolwork and such that I've started to feel like my art muscles are atrophying. So, if anyone wants me to do some art for them, shoot me a PM and I'll draw your character. Not sure how many I'll be able to do, but I'll operate on a first come first serve basis for the duration of the contest.
Origin: Dr. Orpheus Vilebrew was a perfume chemist. His life goal was to create the perfect scent. But one day, things went terribly wrong and he created a concoction which smelled so vile, so repulsive, that it drove him mad. The aroma that he created was so potent that not only did it overpower one's olfactory senses, but it also overpowered one's sense of taste. This vile brew which Vilebrew created smelled and tasted like pure, awful candy corn in its most primal form.
Driven mad by his odorous concoction, Dr. Vilebrew became an agent of chaos. He began recruiting the derelicts, homeless, downtrodden, and hopeless citizens and mobilized them into a bank robbing, department store vandalizing, museum wrecking gang.
Powers: Dr. Vilebrew took his basic formula and has adapted it to a multitude of different uses. Before any job, he sprays his gang with a candy corn perfume. The stench is overpowering. It drives bystanders and security guards away.
Additionally, he has created stink/taste bombs, weaponized sprays, and most dastardly of all, he created a seasonal candy which is so disgusting and so repulsive that we will never speak of it again.
Infamy: Dr. Vilebrew's most notorious crime occurred in the spring of 2003. In a fit of unrivaled madness, he strapped 50 gallons of his weaponized spray to a crop duster airplane and crisscrossed his way across the wheat-belt of America, ruining an entire year's crop. Any field he sprayed produced a bounty of candy corn tasting food.
I keep trying to come up with stuff for this but it keeps coming back to how damn awesome Dracula is and how he can fit into any story with any character and make it greater.
Dracula vs. Indiana Jones... AWESOME.
Dracula vs. Spider-Man... AWESOME.
Dracula vs. Juan Chupacabra... I JUST SPLODED.

In a battle of Dracula vs The Candy Corn Gang, I think my team would win. Dr. Vilebrew's awful concoction would make Dracula lose his taste for everything (including blood).
Wait, so is this for serious horror entries or joke horror entries? I'm trying to figure out how much thought I need to put into my entry. I don't want to waste my time bringing the scary if everyone wants the funny.
I'd say write however you want. I personally have zero experience with writing scary or horror and so I went with humor because I've got experience in that area.
I would definitely be interested in reading some "serious" entries about scary badguys/events.
