Influence maps are an idea, and at least you're trying. But it brings up the point I made earlier that other websites can do things like that bigger and better. In fact this influence map is referred to as a "deviantArt meme".
Not that it can't be done, but why not put a HM spin on it?
Idea 1 - An Influence Non-map: form your influences into something else, a combo hero, a pizza, a blueprint... anything. Or paint an original image combining the different art styles of your influences.
Idea 2 - A Non-influence Map: create a diagram of artists or people who have inspired you NOT to be like them.
As for other challenges, Something Awful has Photoshop Phriday, Cracked has Photoplasty... and these largely run themselves. Members suggest themes for the next week and then create the images. No reason why HM can't do the same, of course comic themes would make sense.
Other ideas:
Revamp the duels: Duels were fun, except there always seemed to be a big mismatch in skills, or the duel would clearly favour one of the other, or one person just wouldn't put any effort in.
Homage to a Great: As mentioned, HM has great old images. Why not pick an image and recreate/re-envision it?
What was the challenge where you had to take an ugly photo and make it look good? There are always fat cosplayers to retouch.
Pass-around images were always fun.
There's more but I literally have to leave this second!
