Theme

Where is my super suit? For this challenge you are to create your own super hero.

Some photo shopping is allowed if you have trouble with the title.

As an extra rule, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I’ve noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I’m subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.
It should hopefully level the playing field a little bit. Consider it an experiment, whoever wins is free to get rid of this rule if it doesn’t work out.

Rules

  • Follow the community’s rules above all else
  • One comment and image per user
  • Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
  • Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we’re all here for fun and learning)
  • Posts that are tied will both get the points
  • The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
  • Down votes will not be counted

Scores

At the end of the challenge each post will be scored:

Prize Points
Most upvoted +3 points
Second most upvoted +2 point
Third most upvoted +1 point
Hero +1 point
Comic Book Cover +1 point
Last two entries (to compensate for less time to vote) +1 point
Prompt and workflow included +1 point
Post within 24 hours -1 point

Hero points are awarded to the most fleshed out hero, (backstory, uniform, powers, etc.)

Comic Book Cover points are awarded to those that most look like a real comic book issue.

The winner gets to pick next theme! As always, have fun everyone!

      Thanks :)

      It’s a bit strange there’s so few votes this time around though, usually it’s a bit more active. I wish there was some way to let this post get the attention it needs while still preventing this from becoming a race to submit as quickly as possible to get the most votes.

      Maybe a rethinking of the scoring is in order.

        The post it not being pinned to top this time, unless it is viewed directly from sh.itjust.works

        I think that explains the low vote counts.

          Oh thanks for letting me know!

          I re-stickied the post, does it show properly now?

          • Cloudless ☼English

            Yes the post is at the top now. Tested on both feddit.uk and lemmy.cafe.

            This might have something to do with instance configuration/version. Because lemmy.world had it pinned.

            Thanks.

            By the way, I suggest having the “Past Entries” in the side bar instead of a pinned post. I suspect that Lemmy might have issues displaying multiple pinned posts.

              Hmm… I guess we can give that a try. Personally I’ve never had any problems with multiple stickies, but I can imagine that different people on different instances with different apps might get different results.

              I’ll move it to the side bar. We still reference it in every challenge post as well, so it should remain easy to find.

            This post is no longer pinned, again. See my results using default Lemmy UI:

            Same when I use Voyager. It works fine via Lemmy.world.

              That’s really weird…

              I still see it pinned on fedia.io as well. Must be a federation issue?

              Let me know if you see this happen again with the next challenge and I’ll hit that sticky button a couple of times. Other than that, there’s not much else I can do.
