Here is an Idea I had for an April Challenge, no it is not to poke fun at the new herlds of HM, but rather create a herald of galactus.
rules:
1. The Herald has to be new and orginal.
2. Noone that has been made in the past( or genderbending old ones either)
3. Have Fun with it

Just an Idea I had :)

So basically this is kinda like a make-over. Taking regular heroes and turning them into heralds...like fer instance a cosmic powered captain america or a space spiderman?

sorry DW, but the challenges fall under herald jurisdiction now....but if you guys have suggestions on what challenges you would like to have, p.m. any one of the four of us, and we'd be happy to put it in the pot...sorry, again, bro...


-cosmic captain america? wow.....i like it

I like it, let's do it.

Hey - now there are heralds, should they be offering new and more expensive prizes for the challenge winners?

Yes.

No Prob Billy, this was just an Idea I was tossing out to see what everyone thought I will leave it to you guys to fine tune it and what not :)

Quote: um ...
No

Actually I was thinking along the lines of brand spanking new characters, with new names, costumes etc...never occured to revamp a "cosmic" Spiderman :) But it will be for the Heralds to deside, I just tossed the idea out to play with :)

Y'know DW. If you're feeling confident you could always duel somebody. Might as well dust the rules off.

Alrighty then. Let's make this official (where's my trumpet? very funny, Thayne)

Dark Wanderer's Challenge goes forth as the April Challenge. Once again the rules are:

A New Herald For Galactus
1. The Herald should be new and orginal.
2. No one that has been a herald in the past( or genderbending old ones either)
3. Have Fun with it

Other than that, anything is game.
both original characters and existing heros made into a cosmic herald are acceptable.

You have until the end of April to find a suitable herald. Then Galactus will come and devourer us all!

Just doing everyone a favor

One thing at a time T, still need to finish off the march challange and this one, but after that I may give it a try for the duel, just to say I have :)

After a short discussion (okay, me whining in the shoutbox), I figured there are some who jumped right on this task, and some still scratchin your heads. And then there are yet those who are saying, "Galactus who?"

If it helps, Think of what a good little herald for Galactus would need in order to perform his duties.

Winterhawk suggested 2 elements. One, they would have to be able to survive in space. Makes sense. Two, they would have to travel vast distances in a very short amount of time, so probably they would have to have a lot of frequent flyer miles.

other nessessities:
copy of HHGTTG
a compass
American Express
extra pair of underwear (poopman is still at large)
salt (some planets just don't have that right flavor)
and xxxxxxxxx-large Tums. for the big guys delicate constitution towards pollution

No, repeat NO, toilet paper. There are some things a herald will just not do.

As to the rest, that is up to you. Be creative, have fun, and show us what a 'cosmic' hero looks like!!!

Will it be neccessary to include bios on characters? I mean will that be grounds on which judging will be done? or are we just concerned with overall appearance?

March isn't even over yet.

I am going to include one, to give it flavor as to why the Herald was created to begin with :)

Cool. Just one favor. If you think it might be a bit lengthy, post it as a comment, not in the description. Thanks

No. Not at all. As I said, the rest is up to the individual.
If you want, you may, But as far as what people will
decide their vote upon, that is up to them.

Now that we know what the contest is for March whats the contest for April?

Tell you what. You ignore this whooole thread, and make up a challenge all on your own. Go ahead. Everybody'll do it. And we'll call it "April Fool's Challenge". Yeees, yes, I say, I quite like the sound of that....

(p.s. you could've at least changed the title of your post before asking that! )

I have an Idea for the April challenge.
Here is an Idea I had for an April Challenge, no it is not to poke fun at the new heralds of HM, but rather create a "Harold" of galactus.
Rules:
1. Go to http://images.google.com/ and type in Harold, you have to use a picture that comes up as your base image.
2. No one that has been made in the past (or gender bending old ones either) can not be a published character.
3. Have Fun with it
4. The picture must include a trout
5. You have to make an original character that you created that has appeared in at least three published books.
6. You will be disqualified if you post during the month of April
7. All pictures not posted during the month of April will be disqualified.

I was thinking along the lines of brand spanking new characters, with new names, costumes etc but only if the characters have been around for a long time and are easily recognizable.

You have until the end of April to find a suitable Harold. Then Galactus will come and devourer us all!
Suggested 2 elements. One, they would not be able to survive in space. Two, they would have to travel small distances in a very long amount of time. So probably they would need a walker or other device to help them move around.
As to the rest, that is up to you but make sure you only follow the guidelines. Be creative, have fun, and show us what a 'cosmic' hero looks like!!!
You have to include a bio, but it can't be of the character in the picture, you must include a bio of one of the characters distant relatives like his uncle frank.
Oh and you can't use the color green. No green at all.

(This was a sarcastic post trying to shed some humor on how complicated the challenges have gotten, I am probably the only one finding this really funny )

But why does it have to include a trout?

I have already completed the perfect picture for this, but I have an herring instead...
