Pop Quiz Prize: Ms. Marvel

I drew the wrong version of Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers, for Myro as his prize for winning the first Pop Quiz contest (designing a fantasy sports logo). So I did a second one, and you get to see both -- lucky you!


Friday Night Fights grand prize

Kaldath and I have finally finished his prize for the overall Friday Night Fights win:

To make it official, this is the LAST multi-character prize I will do for anyone, in the unlikely event I start doing character portraits as prizes again. No knock on Kaldath, who as always was a pleasure to work with, but it's way, way too much work.

Anyway, I think it came out well in the end. Thanks to him for being so patient.

HM3 Prize Items

I've been working on the backlog of contest prizes for the last week or so, and have a couple that I completed but forgot to post about. So here goes! These items are all now available in the HeroMachine 3 Alpha.

First, MartianBlue's great concept for a dragon helm, located in Headgear-Standard (Character Contest 34 - Cavalier!):

SpiderCow2010 requested a "generic city skyline" for the Background-Sky set for Character Contest 31 - Weapon:

I never heard back from TopHat about approving his prize for Caption Contest 70, so I am unilaterally declaring it done! For the life of me, I can't remember why I have the first glove you see but regardless, it's in now. Bonus! These are both in GloveLeft/Right-Standard:

Finally, Meg wanted a Kalidah from the "Wizard of Oz" books for her Caption Contest 35 victory, now in Companions-Standard:

For the next couple of days I will continue to work on prizes while Mark is fleshing out the Rifles set, and then I'll have to move on to the Mech Edition.

Congratulations again to all the winners, and thanks as well for coming up with these neat prize ideas in the first place, then waiting so patiently for me to get to them.

Lots of new HM3 items

With profound thanks to Mark Shute, I'm happy to announce that his ItemRight-Rifles set is now live in HeroMachine 3 and ready for outfitting your various dinosaur marines. Woot! More to come in this set, but we didn't want to limit you unduly with the contest this week. Please do not make requests for Rifles yet, Mark wants a separate thread for that so he can keep track of it, once he's all done with the ones he's already got plans for.

Also, I've been working on prizes for past contests and have uploaded several, including the following:

HM3: Prize items

With thanks to the two gentlemen in question for their patience at the long delay between their wins and their prizes, I am happy to announce the release of two new items for HeroMachine 3.

First, we have Imp's reward for winning the semifinal round of Friday Night Fights, a "steampunk shield", available in ItemRight-Shields:

Next, we have a pair of Motocross-style pants by way of TheNate for winning Character Contest 26, available in Legwear-MaleStandard:

I've got several other prize items out for approval from the winners, and am working on more. After that, it's back to Fantasy Armor for a few more entries.
