RedditMachine!

On a whim, I added this little fellow to Companion-Humanoids just now:

redditalien

Dress him up and post a link to your creation in this thread! I'll pick my favorite and that person will get a free custom illustration from yours truly of one of your characters.

Why? Why not! I love Reddit and thought this might be fun. I may even post these there in an appropriate sub if I can find one.

Enjoy!

Pistol Fronts

I've just added the following guns-pointing-at-you to ItemRight-Pistols. Enjoy!

There's already one revolver in this orientation, but this one's a little more of a modern version and different enough to be worth including, I hope.

Female Body Alternate Added

The female version of the Body Alternate set is now live for HeroMachine 3. It's all what you'd expect, except I did change the "toon" body quite a bit from its male iteration:

Enjoy!

I’m about to reset your password!

As part of the effort to stop the hacking of the site, I'm about to reset everyone's passwords. My apologies, but it looks like that might be where the problem is happening so this is one way to combat it.

Update: I just completed the reset. You should get your new auto-generated random password by email. If you don't have it, check your spam folder, it might be in there. Or, you can go directly to http://www.heromachine.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword to reset it manually with either your site username or registered email address.

My apologies for the irritation, believe me, I'm feeling it too.

Is anyone seeing "Cash Back" offers instead of HM3?

Someone on the HeroMachine Facebook page (like us if you haven't already!) is reporting that when they go to HM3 in any browser, they're seeing this instead:

Is anyone else experiencing anything like that?

2013 Hall of Fame Nomination Thread

Merry Christmas, everyone!

In the spirit of the season, I'd like to open up the Hall of Fame for nominations. If you have a HeroMachine image you think deserves to be immortalized, please post a link to it here. Or if you want to nominate someone else's creation, that'd be great to see as well.

I'll gather up the ones I personally think are best, then I'll probably put them all on Facebook and the ones with the most Likes will be added to the rolls. I'm sort of making this up as I go so that's as much info as I can think of at the moment.

Good luck, and thanks in advance for your nominations! Remember, I need to have a link to an image I can actually get to.

See horse? Sea horse!

Since I had it drawn anyway for a "super hero pet" commission, I went ahead and added this little fellow into Companion Standard. Because this is much more practical than skiing through the air on flying fish.

More landscaping

I just added the following items to the Background-Landscapes set:

landscape3
landscape2

A couple of those are lakes/ponds/bodies of water. As you can see there are a few requested items (the mesa, the cave front, the big cactus) as well as a number of trees, some grass, etc. Hopefully this will help bring your settings to life.

HM3: One day, lad, all this will be yours

No, not the curtains! These vast tracts of land, available now in Background-Landscapes (a completely new set). The idea behind these is that you can use the "multiples" setting to piece together your own scenes. So for instance, there are some standalone trees, some middle ground plains, plenty of far-off mountains, some piles of rocks, etc. This is another experiment along the lines of the Rooms and Furniture sets, so let me know how they're working.

If you have other landscape elements you want to see included, let me know.
