I've just added the following legs to Body-Male-Alternate at the very end as Imp's second prize for winning Friday Night Fights:
And here it is with a torso attached:
How you're going do do things like put boots on those legs, I honestly have no idea. But it's there for those of you who voted for it!

I haven't heard back from Joel about this yet, so I'm just going to say, damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Joel, if you want any changes just let me know.
Anyway, here's his prize for winning Caption Contest 90 -- a "massive 80s style Afro" to join the two or three non-80s Afros currently in Hair-Standard (clear your browser cache if you don't see this one show up at the end):
The hardest part of doing an Afro is getting across just how dense and how three-dimensional the 'do is. You can't draw every single ringlet or curl or it ends up looking like a massive pile of scribble. So I tried to go for suggesting the masses of hair with just the jiggly lines at the bottom and around the edge, then putting in a 30% black screen around the face to indicate how it projects into the space around it.
Hope y'all like it.

Part 1 of 4 in Imp's Friday Night Fights victory prize request is up and available for your use in HandRight-Standard (clear your browser's cache if you don't see it):
The bandage part is color1, and the area that receives any Patterning. I figured you'd probably want to be applying dirt or blood or leopard spots (I don't ask) to the bandagy part since the skin is mostly hidden. If you'd rather I reverse it, just let me know. Color2 is the skin portion.

Me, Myself, and I ... um, and I ... have finished his prizes for a couple of contest wins, now available in Insignia-Nature:
He requested a strand of Celtic knots to use as a facial tattoo, but after chatting about it, we thought it would be more versatile to break the string into individual bits that can be manually strung together so you can get just the effect you're going for. Here's an example, showing one of each of the knots all lined up:
Because of the way the strands run, to get the colors to work exactly right you might have to flip alternating instances, and then rotate them 180 degrees, to line up properly. Hopefully you'll find them useful.

You may recall that last year I exercised my executive privilege to revert a bunch of unclaimed contest prizes back to the community. You all came up with a ton of suggestions for those unused prizes, and voted on the ones you most wanted to see happen. Since then, some of those items have been done and some remain, while others have been chosen as prizes by new winners. I wanted to update everyone on the status of that ongoing effort, so here's the current list:

Watson Bradshaw requested a set of legs that would terminate at the knees, as if the character were kneeling. Since that's been requested by lots of folks, I thought it would be wise to go ahead and publish the first pass at it for general comment, though since it's Watson's prize he gets the final word. Here's the screen grab of it:
It's now live in "Body-Male-Standard" and once we get it finalized (i.e. Watson says he likes it), I'll do a set for the female body as well. Let me know what you think, changes you think it needs to be fully functional, etc. I put in one for the left and one for the right leg.

For VonMalcolm's Character Contest 43 win, he requested an alien or monster bursting out of a stomach. This is what we settled on, currently available in Body-Monster:
It's a little more complex than most items, with the usual color1 and color2 areas, along with pre-colored (and unalterable) red and purple highlights, plus shadowing. But it was a complicated image to produce and still look right, so that's what we had to go with.
And for winning Caption Contest 89, Gero wanted this logo in Insignia-Standard, also now available:
Congratulations to both of those guys, and thanks for coming up with a couple of interesting additions to HM3.
