I've just update the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the "ItemRightRanged" set, featuring all manner of bows with a couple of arrows, a boomerang, a sling, and a javelin "thrown" in for good measure.

If you have specific bows you want included that you don't see, let me know. Your best shot at getting an item included (besides winning one of the character contests!) is to put a link to an image of what you want in your request, like Solander did. That's no guarantee, but it's a lot easier on me if I have an actual reference to look at.

Hope you like the new set of items! Next up is probably Shields, as it ought to be easy to knock those out.

Note that I won't be converting these all over to "ItemLeft" til I get all the sets done. In the meantime, "flip" is your friend.

With many thanks to Solander for an awesome set of links in the comments to the last "glasses" post, I have updated HeadgearGlasses with seven new items, including a monocle, a really nifty "x" set of sunglasses, a steampunk mask thingie, and several more. Hope you like 'em!

I've just added "HeadgearGlasses" to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. Here's a quick snapshot of some of the new items:

I tried to make all of the lenses "color2" without a color1 underneath them so you can get semi-transparent effects. I also set the pattern areay to be just the lenses, since the frames for most of them are so tiny.

Let me know if you wanted a specific style of glasses that didn't make it, and I'll see what I can do.

Also, let me know what you want me to work on next. Barring any clear consensus otherwise, I'll probably either do Neckwear next (either as a stand-alone slot or as a set under Tops) or some additional "Item" sets like polearms, bows, etc.

The Mask set was just updated with two minor tweaks. I changed the long tapering head-top to a smaller one, more in line with what I originally wanted (and less in line with a very recognizable feature from an extremely popular character from an extremely litigious company) and the addition of a new full-head mask that has curved color areas on it (last item in the set).

I've just updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the "HeadgearMask" set featuring 49 items, most of them brand new. Here's a quick look at twelve of the new items:

Note that I have included several different "pieces" for you to use in assembling your own custom mask if you like. For instance, in the preview above the item on the bottom row, second from the left is meant to be colored as if it were flesh, and combined with a full-head colored as a cloth mask. This allows you to make a straight-lined mask open at the top to let the hair spill out with either a curved Captain America-style mouth opening, or one like you see here, or one of the alternates. Or you could swap out the straight-line top portion with a curved one. You can also use the dedicated "eye hole" items from the "EyesStandard" set to further customize your headgear.

Similarly, the gas mask you see in the last two items of the preview are meant to be used together. But I thought the purely mask portion was pretty neat looking, so I made it a standalone. And you can now combine the filter portion with any of the other masks for your own unique look.

As usual, holler if you see any bugs or problems, or if there's a Mask item you really wanted to see but that didn't make it.

I just added five new hands to the HandLeft/RightStandard sets. They include a palm-out, palm-in, edge-on, bicep-flex-curl, and a skeleton with no flesh. Enjoy!

I updated the BodyStandard and FeetStandard sets with new items. Specifically I removed all the feet from the bodies, and added them at the end of the Foot sets. I included skeleton feet, and top-down flying feet both with and without toes. It's not perfect, but having booted foot bottoms in a flying position should help with those specific poses.

I updated BodyMaleStandard for the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with a few new body parts just now:

They are a better forearm held across the body; arms extended straight out from the sides; crossed arms; a different set of arms held like the hands are on the hips; a new "show off your guns" flexed arm; some slightly different "one foot forward" legs; a pudgier torso; the flexed arm from the Zombie set; and a fitted skeleton. Hope you find them useful.
