Ah, there it is! It wasn’t showing up the first time I looked, but it’s there now, and WOW! That is seriously cool!

PROGRESS UPDATE:
Added Harlequin’s pictures (the fixed versions) to the “Elves” page in the appropriate places.

Love the concept of Apex-Man!

No, I think the ninja is pretty good, actually. I like the way you’ve used highlights, especially the speculars on the belt.

I like how the two Dragons are so different. It’s a perfect way of showing the “teenage rebellion” you describe.

Sounds interesting! I’ll give this a go sometime.

Where’s the top view? I don’t see it…
Very good side view, though.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Could not get my square inignia large enough to cover, but reduced the size of a background square instead. The pictures were great but your written instructions were AMAZING!

Thanks for the compliment.
There are two ways of changing the size of an item: dragging the slider (which only goes up to 200) and the text entry boxes, which go up to 999. If you can’t get an item big enough using the slider, try typing values in the 200s into the text boxes.

Welcome to the forums. Some nice stuff you have here! Don’t worry about fancy shading, your characters look fine without it.

OK, new tutorial. As requested by djuby, a tutorial on how to dress the 3/4 male torso. This tutorial assumes you’re completely new to masking and have no idea how to do it, so if that doesn’t apply to you, please don’t be offended if you feel you’re being treated like an idiot.
To start with, this is the body we’re dressing, coloured the way I want it.

Now choose the top you want on it. I’ll use the same example as MDM.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/masking2.png
Colour the top and move it out of the way. Now get a square Insignia and resize it so it covers half of the torso. The line should be over the middle of the chest – this is usually slightly slanted, so you’ll need to rotate the insignia about 2 degrees.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/masking3.png
It’s easier if you make the insignia transparent except for the lines. Place another one on the other side and line them up. You might need to make this one bigger.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/masking4.png
Move the top into position (line up the middle with the lines of the insignias) and resize it so one side (I’ve started with the left) fits. You might need to move the insignias a bit so they completely enclose the top.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/masking6.png
Make sure you have the top selected. Now click the Mask button on the Transform tab, and then click the insignia on the left (or whichever side the top is sized to fit). You should now see that half the top disappears.
http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h464/Kaylin88100/HeroMachine%20Tutorials/masking7.png
What has happened is that you have masked the top to the insignia. This means that only the parts of the top which are inside the insignia are visible. You can move it around if it’s not quite in the right position.
Now make a second top. You will notice that this one isn’t masked – yet. Resize it so it fits the other side of the body, and mask it to the other insignia. Make the final adjustments so the top looks right, and then you can make the insignias completely transparent and send them to the back out of the way.

I’ve left them in here, but if I was using this for a real character, this is the stage where I would get them out of the way so I could work on the arms.

There you go! Finished!

Planets based on different historical cultures? Sounds fun!
Can’t wait for more!

Nice stuff! I like the pirate captain, but closer inspection of the background reveals that the tree has no top!
It doesn’t really look right, does it?
