I've just uploaded a new Headgear-Standard set for HeroMachine 3 that includes Matt's prize for winning Character Contest 27:
The dark gray area is Color 2, so you can get a highlight effect or, if you make it match Color 1, a solid helmet. Enjoy!

I just uploaded a minor update to the Background-WordBalloons set, including the main dialog areas separated from their pointing tails.

I've just posted the first set of ItemRight-Music items to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha:
These are the ones I could "easily" convert from either HM2 or the Rock Star mini. And at that, they weren't all that easy, I had to do a lot of cutting and resizing and re-pasting/re-drawing.
I'm still working on the set, with all your suggestions in the last post still pending, but rather than make you wait for the complete release, I figured you might want to play with these as long as they were done. I tried to make the pattern-holding area fit on the face of the guitar, so with a little judicious sizing and moving, you can apply (for instance) the Union Jack flag from Insignia to the guitars.

I just uploaded a quick HeroMachine 3 update, word balloons in the Background slot!
You may wonder why they're centered -- it's because that's the center point for the Background slot in general, most of which are full-screen and so make sense to be placed there. If I put the word balloons where you'd expect them by default -- upper left, by the head -- then when you rotate them, they rotate around the center point and that's irritating. Plus, you then can't manually drag them over to the left, which is also irritating. So instead I chose this slightly less irritating method whereby you can drag it wherever you want once it's placed.
If you have other word balloon shapes you want, let me know in comments.
Yes, I am still working on Musical instruments but they're slow going.

Gero has approved his Exceptionally Large Ornate Key item, the prize for winning Caption Contest 65, and it is now live in HeroMachine 3 in the ItemRightBlunts set. I'll probably move it to Miscellaneous once I get around to that, but since it doesn't exist yet I figured this would be the best place for now. Enjoy!

Jake and I have finished his HM3 prize for winning Character Contest 26 (Golden Oldies), a kobold body in Companions-Standard so Jake can outfit him like a regular character:

I finally completed Blue Blazer's prize for winning Caption Contest 54, and have posted his Stretchy Arms to BodyMaleStandard in HeroMachine 3. You can place most gloves on them with a bit of manipulation, and if you use the Masking feature you can get a spandex look pretty easily. Enjoy!
I'm not sure what I have going on there in that image, sort of a Michael Jackson meets "When I Think Of You I Touch Myself" by way of Reed Richards. Or something. But you get the general idea.

Kaldath was in the right place at the right time, and I was able to get his HeroMachine 3 prize for the just-concluded Character Contest 28 (Child Of ...) done:
It's shown here colored, obviously, and in its default size and position. For longer fire-hair, you can use the Multiples setting, move one of the items all the way to the bottom of the stack, then scale it way up on the y-axis, like so:
Hopefully this will help make your fire-related characters easier to bring to life. Thanks to Kaldath for picking a great item for his prize!

TheNate has approved his prize for winning Caption Contest 64, and it is now live in HeroMachine 3 under the Insignia-Standard set:
It works well either as a straight Native American style chest symbol, or if you scale it up and make it somewhat transparent, it can serve as a great body tattoo. Nice suggestion, Nate, thanks!

I am finally getting to the many back-logged contest prizes I owe people. The first to get approved is this Rocketeer-styled aviator jacket for Ian's Caption Contest 67 victory:
When I get to converting all the various Male tops over to the Female template, this one will go along with them.
Thanks for the request Ian, I think it's a great addition!
