Thanks once again to Zyp, who in a twist of fate sure to see the inversion of the dimensional vortex and the appearance of Evil Spock with a goatee, provided his own prize for winning Character Contest 61:
This stellar addition to the haberdasher's art is now available in the Headgear-Modern set for HeroMachine 3.

I've just uploaded two Contest prize items to HeroMachine 3. First was Jenna's "next prize up on the replacement list" for winning Character Contest 46, which was a "long-ass wizard's beard" like we had in HM2:
And next was a "tapered tail" for PapaKrok's Character Contest 57 win, also a "next item up":
I think it's appropriate PapaKrok ended up with that one, because it turned into something that could be a big tentacle, evil flower frond, wicked tongue, wave form, or some other equally demented thing he would be likely to turn it into. So that's cool.
Be sure to thank both of them if you like the items, for giving up their prizes! And if you had something different in mind for the final shape of these two requests, let me know.

As a "thank you" for extraordinary assistance troubleshooting bugs, I offered Panner the equivalent of a contest winning prize, and he chose "Stonehenge". I've just uploaded the following addition to Background-Standard for HeroMachine 3, now available:
Thanks, Panner, it was a great idea! If you want changes to it, let me know.

If you have won a contest but have not claimed your prize, you've got one week to let me know what you want before your prize is revoked and turned over to the general community for voting on what they want to replace it with. You can comment on this post, you can use the contact form button at the top right column (the envelope) or you can email me directly at afdstudios@gmail.com.

I had some trouble with the next item on the Replacement Prize list, which PapaKrok requested for winning Character Contest 51. It was "spooky graveyard background", and this is what I came up with (now in Background-Standard):
Part of the problem is, if you get too complicated then the two-color limit really hits you hard. So I settled on doing something more abstract that hopefully will serve as a good backdrop for adding in other spooky bits to create the exact scene you want.
Update: Here's the Replacement Prize list:
