Friday Night Fights Round 3: Fantasy!

Congratulations to the winners of Friday Night Fights Round 2, who have each won either their own portrait or any item of their choice to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version! The four Semi-Finalists will now square off in head-to-head matchups to compete for your votes. The two winners from this round go on to the Finals, with the runner-up receiving a custom black and white character illustration and the winner their own custom color illustration.

Here's how our bracket stands at the moment:

Recipe: Size still matters

I lied last week and said Hammerknight's recipes included resizing information for the female template's feet. Oops. Luckily he has made me an un-liar, with this week's installment! Many thanks to him as always for generously sharing his time and skill with the rest of us slackers. As usual, click on either image to enlarge for legibility.

Thanks again, Hammerknight!

Random Panel: Best. Ellipses. Ever.

HM3: Hair suggestions

It looks like "Female Hair" won out for the next set of items for me to work on, so if you have specific requests for that, please leave them in the comments to this post. Any links to actual images of what you want will be the most helpful, but anything goes.

Tight voting

Don't forget to vote in the current Friday Night Fights round! The "West Coast Avengers" bracket is super-tight at the top, with Flame Knight leading Galactic Guardian by just TWELVE votes. The other matches are close, and could still be decided by a late surge as well.

You can vote every day, and by all means encourage your family, friends, and pets to make their voices heard as well!

Random Panel: It only picked up show tunes …

Caption Contest 66: Gunnergirl

The person who comes up with the funniest replacement dialog for this caption will win either a portrait of themselves or any item they choose for inclusion in HeroMachine 3! So get those funny caps on and start writing great lines for this:

bloodstone-12-1994-image-liefeld-gunnergirl

The rules are simple:

  1. Keep it clean, appropriate for late-night broadcast television;
  2. No more than three entries per person;
  3. All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post.

That's it! Good luck everyone, and as usual I'll announce the winner next Tuesday.

Character Contest 22 Winners!

The "Greek Mythology" character contest produced a lot of fantastic entries, so thanks to everyone who took the time to participate! I've selected a handful as Honorable Mentions, and of course one overall winner (who receives either a portrait or any one item of their choice for inclusion in the final HeroMachine 3 version) for your viewing pleasure.

Saw this (via) and thought it was hysterical.

Good stuff.
