HM3: Legwear-Female-Outerwear conversion complete

As the title says, the LegwearFemaleOuterwear set conversion is now live. Enjoy!

HM3: Female Briefs

In a totally unplanned bit of synchronicity, I've just posted the Legwear-Female-Briefs set to HeroMachine 3. This is just a straight item-for-item conversion of the male items, so no big whoop. Only nine items, and most of them are copies from the Pants-Standard set, but at least they fit.

HM3: Female Pants

I've just updated HeroMachine 3 -- at long last -- with newly converted female items. "Legwear-Female-Pants" is now live and available for your feminine clothing needs. If you don't see it, you may need to clear your browser's cache and try again.

HM3: Dinoriffic!

I've just uploaded a new set of items for HeroMachine 3, Companion-Dinosaurs. Why dinosaurs? Because they're cool! Of course, while I think they're cool, I don't actually know anything about them. So if I have left out some that absolutely have to be there, please let me know.

Here's the set as of initial launch:

Enjoy!

HM3: Hair-Female-Braids

I got a wild hair this morning (get it?!) and decided to throw together a set of braided female hair for HeroMachine 3. A few are from the current Female Standard set, but where possible even there I broke them up a bit. If you can find examples of other braids you'd like to see, now's the time to speak up or forever hold your split ends.

HM3: You have to hand it to the masks

With many thanks to the incredible dblade for drawing them, I am happy to announce that the following items are now live:

Hockey Mask in Headgear-Masks:

Awesome gas mask thing (both in the complete format seen here and broken up into individual pieces) in Headgear-Military:

Extended Sharp Claw Hand in HandRight-Standard:

In addition to these fantastic items, I've still got at least three other things dblade has created to add in. Be sure to drop by in comments and thank him for his volunteer work expanding and improving the program!

HM3: Toothy, chesty, fluttery, and explosive

I've just uploaded more new items for you to enjoy in HeroMachine 3:

From the top left, credit goes to:

  • Scorpidius for the chest piece, now in Tops-Male/FemaleFantasyArmor;
  • Me, Myself, and I for the eyelashes now in Eyes-Standard;
  • dblade for the missile-filled version of the launcher, now in ShoulderRight/Left-Tech;
  • dblade for the big huge canines-filled mouth now in Mouth-Standard.

Thanks guys!

HM3: More items

A number of new items are now available for your use in HeroMachine 3:

The eyes are courtesy of Me, Myself, and I. They feature the two "hollow eyes" at the bottom and the two eyeballs at the top, one human and one cat-eye. The idea here is that you can turn on "Multiples", add the hollow eyes, add the eyeball of your choice appropriately colored, then by masking the ball to the eye and moving it about, you can create a face that's looking in different directions. A nifty idea!

The missile launcher is courtesy of dblade, and can be found in ShoulderRight/Left-Tech. Those tech items are a bear to draw, and he did a great job on it.

The boot is from me and is for Doomed Pixel's Caption Contest 87 prize, "Biker boots". It's in FootRight-MaleStandard, eventually to be ported to the left side.

Many thanks to MMI and dblade for taking the time to draw these items! I've also got a couple from Scorpidius that I need to get into the app; hopefully those and more will be coming up in the next day or two.

As usual, you may have to clear your browser's cache for these items to show.

HM3: New Tops

With many thanks to Zyp, who not only drew them but drew them in Flash and sent me the source files, making it incredibly easy to add, I've just updated the Tops-MaleFantasyCommon set with the following two items, shown both separately and in-use in this handy illo by Zyp:

You're the man, Zyp!

HM3: Stonehenge

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.
