The latest happenings on all things HeroMachine.

Halftones

I've just added the following two halftone items to Patterns-Standard:

halftone

I made it like the other gradients, where color1 and color2 fade into each other. If you don't want that and instead prefer a solid color background, you can set color2 to 0% alpha (color1 is solid). Or you can make both invisible and be left with just the dot line art.

HM3: Buggy Britches

Leg_Guyver_FINAL

 

The winner of the Whiz Bang Creation Poll#4 is live. You can find the thigh and shin pieces in Legwear/MaleStandard, while the foot can be found in FootRight/Mech.

Whiz Bang Item Creation Poll #5 (SciFi Leg Armor)

[polldaddy poll="7744112"]

Alrighty. I really want to make some more tech legs. I'm taking last weeks losers and putting them up for a second chance at life in the Machine. Lame, you say. A little. Lazy, you say. Probably on target. But sometimes the Whiz Bang organization rolls like that. So buckle up and get your vote revving! It's a head-to-head, hmmmm....leg-to-leg match between these scifi juggernauts!

The vote will close next Wednesday, January 29th.

Mad Jack's Car-Boot Sale

Man, you wouldn't believe what people forget in the trunks of their cars. From wigs to prosthetics to even their "pets"! I really hope you'll take the latter, since they gonna eat me out of house and home - and I mean that literally!!!batch5
And that would be it with the mass deliveries for a while. I'm now going to dare me to more sophisticated things, and there I will certainly need a "little" longer to produce something acceptable - if at all. πŸ˜‰

Whiz Bang Item Creation Week 4 Poll Results!

And the winner is....

Guyver Leg!

Guyver_Leg

WithΒ 41.84% of the votes!

I'm going to create the whole leg and break it up into pieces.

A thank you to everyone who took the time to vote. Keep an eye out for the other pieces in future polls because I would really like to work on those eventually.

Honest Jack's Used Cars

You wanted a garage sale? Well, that's what comes of it! You'll find these sweet new rides in Companions/Vehicles.

Hmm, did I check the trunks of those cars?! Hope I didn't forget anything in there... πŸ˜‰

Back From The Basement

Coff coff. Did'nt you hear my screaming? I was trapped in a humongous cobweb on my way to the basement. It took me days to get out of it while hiding from that monster spider.

But hey - guess what I found, when I finally got downstairs? An old tattoo parlor! What, you don't believe me? Well, I brought prove. Therefore you'll find 3 new sets with a total of 360 (!) tattoo motives in the insignia category: Insignia/TattoosAnimal, Insignia/TattoosMisc, and Insignia/TattoosTribals.

If you don't know what to do with them, maybe take a look in this forum thread, where I posted a few characters that I've done with photoshop some time ago. Of course you will find all the materials I used there in the new sets. So, there you go - have at it... πŸ˜‰

Phew, now I'm exhausted. Wait ... didn't somebody say something about a garage sale?! Hmmm....

Modern Women

I've just updated Companions-Humanoid with the following women, dressed more appropriate to the modern era:

Thank to commenter Wild Card for pointing out the lack. Enjoy!

HM3: Kirby Energy Blasts (Reward for CDC #54 Winner RobM)

KirbyEnergyCrackles

These Kirby energy blasts were requested by Character Design Contest #54 (Flying) winner RobM. So if you have any problems/satisfaction with these items he's the man to blame/thank!

They can be found in ItemRightEnergy.

Legends of Steel companions

I've just updated Companions-Humanoid with the following fine folk:

los

The first two gentlemen are from an illustration I did a few years ago of costumed crusaders in their fancy civvies. The remaining four were drawn for the "Legends of Steel" RPG created by Friend of HeroMachine Jeff "Evil DM" Mejia, who has graciously allowed them to be used here. You can order the game in its several varieties here.

Thanks to the Evil DM and I hope you enjoy the new additions to the bullpen.
