The winning prizes for all HeroMachine challenges.

Caption Contest 100 Prize

Knighthawk and I have finished his prize for winning Caption Contest 100:

Thanks for the neat character to work on, Knighthawk!

Character Contest 64 Prize – Stegosaurus!

I just posted Atomic Punk's prize for winning Character Contest 64 to Companion-Standard in HeroMachine 3:

Next up is probably Tool's "gun blade".

Hope you enjoy the dinosaur!

HM3: Isn’t it Ionic?

I've just posted an update to the Background-Standard set for HeroMachine 3 with Myro's prize for winning Caption Contest 98. He requested an Ionic Greek column, which I then broke into pieces. I have to say, I'm curious what crazy uses you all come up with for the various bits.

Thanks for picking a great, useful item, Myro!

HM3: Female torso, turned

Sean David Ross requested a 3/4 view female torso for winning Character Contest 62, which has just been uploaded to the Body-Female-Standard set. Enjoy!

HM3: Jester bauble

Jester requested a twisted jester bauble for his winning jest in Caption Contest 95 (try saying THAT three times fast!), which is now available in ItemRight-Miscellaneous:

Thanks Jester!

HM3: Pointy-headed Celt with a horny body

I've just uploaded the following items to HeroMachine 3 (clear your browser's cache if they're not showing):

From the top left, you have:

  • Cool Celtic knotwork pattern in Background-Shapes from Me, Myself, and I;
  • Legend-ary horns in Ears-Standard from dblade;
  • A male body in 3/4 view (along with appropriate arms and legs) as the prize for Blue Blazer's Character Contest 60 win by me.

As usual with body items, these are not fully supported with clothing and such -- you're on your own for making them fit. However, I did include a new leg with the hip rotated towards the viewer, and a new arm rotated away as it would be in a 3/4 view to hopefully help you "sell" the idea. I'm not sure how helpful this will be since you can't put insignia or pre-made tops on it, but I'm sure you creative types out there will figure out a way to make it useful.

Depending on feedback I get on this one, I'll be doing the same to the Female Body as SeanDavidRoss' Character Contest 62 win.

dblade also put together a cool Crusher-type head, now available in HeadMale-Standard:

Many thanks to guest artists MMI and dblade!

HM3: The Impossible Brons Renaissance Leech-Rabbit

I've just added the following items to HeroMachine 3:

From top-left to bottom-right, they are:

  • Brons missed out on his two prizes for winning Character Contests 21 and 23 (they ended up getting forfeited to the "Reprize Patrol"). We finally managed to get in touch and I have added his portrait to Head-Winners.
  • dblade requested a conehead (a la The Impossible Man), which is now in Head-Aliens for winning Character Contest 58. dblade, if you wanted just the top half and not the chin, let me know and I can make that happen.
  • Kytana wanted an "Alice in Wonderland" style hare for winning Character Contest 59, now available in Companions-Standard.
  • The bottom left item is a gift from dblade, who drew up the nifty leech mouth for "those of us who want to suck". Ha!
  • Finally, Doomed Pixel wanted a pair of Renaissance pants as his prize for being the co-winner of Character Contest 38.

Thanks to all those folks for their great ideas and particularly to dblade for drawing a custom item! Let me know if you have any problems loading these.

HM3: Oriental Fan

I've just added the following prize for Iago Valentine's Character Contest 55 prize, an open Oriental fan now available in "ItemRight-Miscellaneous":

As usual, you may have to clear your browser's cache for it to show up if you've recently loaded that set.

SOD: Lich!

PhantomCaliber requested a Vecna-like lich Sketch of the Day for winning Caption Contest 92 and this is what I came up with:

Hope he likes it!

Hm3: Wrestlemania!

I've just uploaded to Headgear-Masks the following wrestler mask (in two parts in case you want to use just the designy part on top of some other item) the following two Wrestle-tastic pieces for Galactic Ketchup's Caption Contest 82 win:

Enjoy!
