Right, I know what I’m voting for then!

Doh!!!

Got a little excited and started working on the Futuristic Soldier Helmet in anticipation of it winning.

Now the question is will the voting loophole come back to bite me in the butt? If Robot Skull or Nova Helmet wins I’ll have to create that piece as well.

The first poll is scheduled for later today, but after this first one I’m going to post the item polls every Wednesday.

Whiz Bang Item Poll Starts Next Wednesday, December 4th

I’m shooting for Wednesdays to start posting the Whiz Bang Item polls. Voting would go on for 1 week and then the winner would be announced on Wednesday, with a new poll posted around the same time. I plan to create each winning item the week after it is voted on. This may change from time to time, for whatever reason pops up. My hope is to post at least one new item every week. I will probably work on other items outside of the poll so there may be more than one item posted.

The phantom mask could be a 2 for 1 kind of deal. Do the full mask first and then cut it down.

Working on metallic female tops. Here is a preview of the items. Probably will refine some areas.

Your clasped hands are now live, Weilyn! I hope you come back to use them! The hands can be found in HandRight/Standard.

Your retro tunic has gone live, Trekkie. I hope you find a use for it. You can find the male and female versions in Tops/MaleCoats and Tops/FemaleCoats.

[dblade]

Cool techy legs. If you can point me to where I can get bigger versions of the images I might be able to put these in a poll.

The helmets are nice too. Where do these come from? I would like to see different angles on some of them.

[dblade]

I’ve made up my mind. The first poll to start off the new and slightly improved Whiz Bang Item Dispenser will include Heads and Headgear. Robot Skull is definitely in there but I’m still mulling about the other two or three choices. I will probably pull from the choices presented here but I may wander about the internet to see what’s out there that catches my interest. Feel free to offer up more Head/Hat/Headgear suggestions. I will be posting the poll in the first week of December.

[dblade]

I’m leaning toward Heads and Headgear for the first poll. There’s a couple of items I would like to see in the Machine.

Hey suggesters and requesters. The closer you can get to finding reference items that match up to the orientation of the HeroMachine assets the easier it will be for me to convert over into HeroMachine. This also means I will be more likely to choose them for a poll. For pieces that don’t match up as easily I have to do extra research and experimentation which takes up valuable illustrating time that could have been spent creating your favorite piece ever!

Was that manipulative or what?

Also keep in mind the size of the file that you send. If you can’t see the details of the artwork then it will be especially hard to make it look right. Bigger and sharper resolution is ideal.

I’m not the illustrator that Jeff is so I need to make it as easy as possible.

Found them. This looking for new items sure “stinks”.

I’ll try to give clues up front next time. Keep your peepers open for the next items. And there might be one that takes your breath away (or at least makes it hard for you to breathe).

How about a flatcap?

Another good suggestion.

Two more items have gone live and Four more to be added tonight (then I’ll announce). See if you can find them before I let the cat out of the baguette.

I think I’ve found them. Is one a shotgun? I bet you’re sitting there laughing at me trying to find the new items, eh? You should have a contest as to who gets to choose the next item by finding the most recently added item. Maybe evening adding it into a picture. Hmmmmm…….

The Mare’s Leg shotgun was added a while back, but I’m sure you will root out the new items once you catch their scent.
