I've just added Kytana's prize for winning Character Contest 82 into ItemRight-Miscellaneous:

I had big plans for doing an open version, and then the open version being broken into separate top pieces and bottom pieces, but when I opened the set I realized I'm almost out of room in it. So I had to go with just the closed iteration you see here.

AMS requested some Kirby-like energy effects for the hands, as seen in the recent "Gunner" sketch I did, for his Character Contest 80 prize. It is now available in the "ItemRight-Energy" set in two flavors, one with a clear central area and one with a filled central area. I also dropped in some new spell effect types of rings I've been meaning to add. Enjoy!

I tried to set that last one up so it's kind of like smoke, if you ramp down the transparency and turn off the line color.

I've just updated the ShoulderRight-Standard set of items to include separate shoulder boards, chevrons, and rockers so you can do military ranks. They should all fit together so you can do multiple rockers & chevrons over a board to do various ranks.

This is the prize for Skybandit's win in the last Character Contest, by the way.

As AMS' prize for winning Character Contest 77, he requested a Sketch of the Day of his character Stonebourne. And here it is:

And here's the awesome HeroMachine version he sent me as reference:

As you can tell, I've been focused over the last week trying to complete the outstanding prizes for the various contests. According to my list I owe specific prizes to:

I've just finished Rick's prize for winning Caption Contest 108, his original character Gunner:

I hope it came out like you wanted, Rick.

I've just uploaded Frankie's prize for Caption Contest 118 to Background-Standard, a lighthouse and a cliff on which to perch it:

Originally I had them combined, but it was too limiting to try and get good color on both the buildings and in the landscape. But they're positioned by default to work together, so if you just turn on Multiples you can place the cliffs, then the lighthouse and they ought to fit together.

I've just uploaded E350's prize for winning Caption Contest 117 into Headgear-Military, a WWI style Brodie helmet:

I'm fairly appalled I didn't have one of these in there already, and I'm very grateful to E350 for requesting it.

I've just uploaded Nick Hentschel's prize for winning Caption Contest 110, freckles:

These are now available in Head-Male-Faces. I also updated the Head-Female-Faces with not only these freckles, but all the wrinkles that were previously only available in the Male set. Holler if any of that gives you trouble.

In keeping with the wrinkles, I only did one cheek's worth of freckles; use the Multiples button and flip them to get them to be two-sided.

Last night I worked up the prize for Knighthawk's Caption Contest 108 victory. This isn't exactly what he asked for, but rather my interpretation of what his description inspired in me. So if there's something you don't like, blame me 🙂
