Whiz Bang Item Creation Poll #4 (SciFi Leg Armor)

[polldaddy poll="7721837"]

It's scifi leg armor time? We have War Machine, Guyver, and Mass Effect leg armor. I will be making the complete leg (so boot, knee, and thigh piece where applicable). Don't leave me without a leg to stand on. Vote and it shall be made!

Now's your chance to decide what artwork I will work on next. Whatever wins the vote will be completed the following week. This doesn't mean I won't work on other pieces. The winning piece will just be guaranteed my attention.

This poll will end on Thursday, January 23rd.

Ground Eruption to Major Tom

I've just added the following "Stuff's coming up out of the ground FAST" item to Background-Floors:

By request, I've made this lovely creature available in Companions-Humanoid:

HM3: Tech Leg and Lightning Masks

NewITEMS_011414

 

This old leg? Yeah. I had it lying around. You can find it in LegwearMaleStandard.

A few lightning-inspired masks for speedy, electrical, or pointy characters. The 4th mask was actually inspired by an HM3 creation by Deadman (Speed Demon). You can find these in HeadgearMasks.

City Block

I just added the following city block to HeroMachine 3 in Background-Cityscapes:

Maskless hands

Inspired by an AMS comment, I've just added the following items to HandRight-Standard:

triggerfingers

Basically the idea behind these is that you can use them to simulate holding an object without having to use masking, since you can only mask one thing to one other thing at a time. So for instance, you can use the first two to put a rifle in a character's hands with just layering -- all the parts that would be covered in the hand are just not there in the first place.

If this works and there are other hands you'd like to see get the same treatment, let me know.

Jazz Hands and the Flying Torsos, which is NOT the name of my band

I've just updated HandRight-Standard with the following dramatic hand poses:

In addition, BodyMale-Standard has the following headless, flying torso just in case you needed some bad-dream fodder. I was inspired to make this by the flying contest last week, sorry I couldn't get it out faster.

Whiz Bang Poll #4 Delayed Because of Kimono

Instead of posting a poll I decided to create a Kimono as my item of the week. I will miss the excitement of the voting but I hope you won't mind so much. I'll get back to the polls the following week.

Ah, what the heck. Here is a little poll to help me focus on the next couple of polls. I chose a couple of sets that I personally wanted to focus on but I left it open for people to add to the voting.

HM3: Stompin Time!

FootMonster_011114

The Ent foot and reptilian abomination foot from the week 3 poll have kicked their way into the Machine! You can find these items in the FootRight/Monster set. Did I mention that we put together a new set for monstrous/creature feet? Mostly old items at the moment but hopefully more will follow.
