Contest Winners: Weapons and Warriors

Heads up!
I'm going to be migrating the blog section of the site to a different program in the next day or two, so you might see some weird outages. If all works out (and it should), I'm hoping this will be another step toward my plans to do more with the Sanctum!
If not, it'll result in me complaining a lot.

A Call For Artists!
Yeah, I know I just called for cosplayers - but now I have two friends working on comic projects. If you're interested Contact Me.
Project #1
I know an author who is looking to publish a single issue of a manga as a test publish. This is a mix of horror/thrillor/historical. She's looking for someone who is willing to work on the manga up front to create a full issue and/or example in order to get a property to sell to a company - then a spinoff/continuing sires would be possible.
Project #2
An author is looking for an artist to collaborate on a webcomic. This would involve splitting any profits 50/50. The story would be best suited to something cartoony and stylized (manga style is fine too). An appreciation for sci-fi B-movies is definitely a plus.

New Contest - Weapons And Warriors!
This contest runs from May 10st to August 15th, Midnight EST.
(Note the contest runs longer than usual. This is because I want to shift the timing to avoid inconvenience - namely messing with NaNoWriMo time!)
It's time to get armed and creative! This contest focuses on the weapons and the people who love them. Or use them. Or are cursed by a dark and horrible fate to wield them until the end of creation.
You're going to draw a character - and their weapon. To do that, you use one generator from each list below!
Character Generators:
- General Character Generator
- Anime Fanboy Fantasy Fulfiller
- Anthropomorphic Animal Generator
- Bishotron
- Catgirl Generator
- Catguy Generator
- Fangirl Fantasies
- Fantasy Crossbreed Generator
- Magical Girl Generator
- Magical Knight Generator
- Mascot Generator
- Super Ninja Generator
Weapon Generators:
There you go - one warrior, one weapon, portrayed however you want. Catgirls with Cosmochucks? Bishounen with Blunderbusses? Ninjas with . . . well OK they're Ninjas they can use whatever they please.
But of course as always, go farther. Can you come up with a unique way to portray them? Can you give us backstory? Come on, take the results and take it farther!
