I'm going to start working on Headgear today, so let me know any specific requests you have in the comments. If you've made suggestions about Headgear items before in other posts, please re-submit them here if you don't mind; it's hard to go back through the old stuff and pick out onesie-twosie requests.
And yes, I'll be including every current HeroMachine 2 Headgear item, so you can skip those.
HM3's Headgear slot will include at least sets for Standard, Helmets, Masks, and Glasses. If you think of other big groups of headgear-related items that deserve to have their own set, let me know that too.
any thing steam punk and pulp man and a mouth only gas mask type kinda like the ninja masks in mk plus any thing cyber punk thanks
I would really appreciate it if you could expand on the “Aliens” slot. You know, lots of different heads that still allow you to change the face and facial hair around. Here are some examples of things I would really love to see:
-Klingon-esque forehead
-Ki-Adi Mundi “conehead”
-Gem-Hadar (DS9) Boney-spikey forehead ridges, kind of like the dinosaur men from “Land of the lost”.
-V-shaped forehead ridge
-Plo-Koon mask, also a head shaped like his with funny ears.
-Skrull Chin
-Darth Maul Horns
-Lots of Face Tattoo options with changeable colors(Darth Maul, Runes, stars, fire, etc.)
-Jaw-line with bone-spikes
-Cardassian head (DS9)
-More Tentacles/dreadlocks
-More Horn options
So far this is looking great. Keep up the good work.
I’m definitely looking forward to and expanded and improved “Animals” section myself. I have a lot of half-animal characters I’d like to create, and even with PhotoShopping I can only get so far with the 2.5 selections. Especially with the older-style black shading lines…
ooh, and can you include a variety of long necks to go with separate heads? That way we could either use heads like the croc on or off a serpentine neck to make dragon-ish characters, etc…
Agreed, a slot for Monsters/Aliens would be helpful.
More high tech armor style helmets would be cool.
definitly more horns i second that. a variety of skull helmets would be cool aand… wait i have to search the artwork…
http://www.g-unleashed.com/files/16_aw_cj3.jpg this mask
and more hats aaand more pirate-style hats and musketeer hats and feathers for the hats (seperated)
PyHy
Some random ideas: Head/face bandages (eg, loose straps of cloth bound around the characters head, not the entire face concealed), various forms of antennae, a few different types of horns, spiky reptillian fins, comedy/tragedy muse masks, more spandex mask options, a better jester cap, feathers and plumes to be attached to hats and knight helms, halos and energy-like crowns, er… thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Whatever you can manage to get to will be great, Jeff. Don’t work yourself to death.
Here are some more ideas:
-Angelic Warrior helmets (With Wings, jewels, etc.)
-Demonic Warrior Helmets (With Horns, skulls, jewels, etc)
-Facial Scars
-Lots of robotic/cyborg facial options. It would be great to be able to choose to make all/half/part of a head a robotic. Things like Eye implants, mouth/nose masks, etc.
-Twi-Lek like head (2 Tentacles)
-Nautolan like head (Many tentacles, like Kit Fisto)
-Reptilian Heads, with bone Spikes & Ridges, still able to change eyes and mouth (Like Jem’Hadar -ST DS9)
can we also have some earrings?
and i have a couple requests,
http://media.80stees.com/images/products/Thor_Helmet_Costume.jpg
but with no wings and another one without the part from the top (so you have the hair coming out also).
pd. please dont forget the cyclops lensses from hm2x
thx jeff. =)
Gotten an uptick of activity on UGO forums due to HM3! And, this is _only_ an alpha version!!
Facial tattoos probably aren’t needed as insignia(s) can do that job. (Make it possible to go over 200% with insignias?)
Headgear:
1– Alien heads are good, esp. when stacked
2– That oni/demon HM2 mask is popular, variants would be great
3– Deathlok-ish half-face is, again, popular, variants would be cool
4– Robot heads good (ultron-ish/malevolent perhaps?)
5– Stand out Witch-King ‘horror’ helm, hmm
5– Vintage underwater helmet (tiny url .com/coyldu, and/or tiny url .com/c65n6h)
6– as #5, but more “movie”-ish with face visible
(psst, would *really* dig having the much loved “save code” available.)
I’d just like to second coyote ytmn’s request
Napoleonic headgear:
Napoleonic roman/Greek-like helmets
Napoleonic French, British,and German shakos with a coulple different decoration styles:
for the British shakos:
Sharpe’s Regiment shakos and regiment insignias(refer to the cover art of Bernard cornwell’s Sharpe’s Regiment for the regimental Insignias)
For the French Shakos:

Bicornes and Tricornes

and some medevial and gladiator helmuts would be great too.
🙂
Generic Fantasy Helmets with accessories to customize them.
Mickey Mouse ears, please.
pirate gear
Riveted eye patch like that worn in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country.
Borg style eye piece/monocle.
Tribal facial tattoos prefably Mowri style.
Helmets/headgear with mounted weapons/targeting systems.
Probably more fit for the Hair section, but playing around with HM3, I will often put the longer hair on the plane behind the head so it doesn’t cover the face. A hairpiece that is shaped like a widow’s peak, but that is only on the very top of the head, would be great so I can put long hair behind the head without making it look strange. Right now I have to use 2 tiny mirrored mohawks.
How about a Murmillo helmet, like this?:
http://piezaapieza.net/images/PEG54164.01.jpg
hi jeff 🙂 i would like a fadora like dick tracy or the question something simple this time
As I started on this, the first two items in the old HM2 “Headgear-Standard” set are animal heads. So I did those and then thought “I have a whole separate ‘Head’ slot now, really these ought to go there”. So now I am working on the new HeadAnimals set. Go figure. If you have any animals you desperately want to see represented, let me know.
A horse head, and a dragon head.

http://grendel.redsectorart.com/images/images/singleton1.jpg
coyote snake bat monkey panda kangaroo kawla and v raptor
I think the ideas others have posted are good, however, I would also like to suggest simple cloth items, like maybe one of those bandannas that covers the top of your head and is tied in the back, like the kind certain pirates wear. Maybe some metal skull caps w/ accessories like horns and chainmail, a turban, etc. General fantasy stuff. And, I know someone’s already mentioned this, but I would also like steampunk stuff.
Lizard man head, Cat head, ape head
Also could you make dinosaur/reptilian/mammal style legs…link a quadraped standing on it’s hind legs? Not sure how else to describe it.
can we have earrings
also something like this:
http://media.80stees.com/images/products/Thor_Helmet_Costume.jpg
but with no wings ans also without the top part so you can also see the hair.
plz
pd. dont forget the cyclops visor from hm2x

4– Robot heads good (ultron-ish/malevolent perhaps?)

7– Modern deep sea helmet
8– as #6-#7, but more “movie”-ish with face visible
(psst, would *really* dig having the much loved “save code” available.)
spider scropion ant and others like that
A scuba regulator
when i say snake i mean cobra
I think a mask without any eye or mouth slots would be good. Also a faceplate for like an armored helmet or something. (Think Iron Man faceplate/helmet)
A mecha helmet with robo-samuri parts.(think mobile suit gundam and the like) More parts like that all around would be good too.
I think an alien head with sharp pointy teeth that hang out of the mouth and slight big eyes (maybe some weird ears or some other cosmetic addition)
And a bird head, if you’re not making that already.
@Jeff: Any bird of prey would be good for the head section. Animal heads could also be used as insignias. Look forward to the finished product.
It has probably already been stated, just a little to lazy to check all the posts today, but is there any way to do a more terminator style head/mask/parts like a half burned/shredded face showing the mechanical parts underneath ( like in terminator 2 )
i also agree with more animal heads, obviously a wolfs head, maybe a cats head or maybe a head like the lycans have in the underworld movies.
I agree with Jester. More spandex mask options needed, ESPECIALLY a Green Lantern-type domino mask.
Also, a general request, I guess it would go in the body slot: skeletal versions of all the current bodies/legs/arms, if possible…
How about something like:
Dance goggles mask, Coastal Sepik region, PNG:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Oceania/Oceanic%20Dance%20Goggles.htm
Italian Bituta mask:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Europe/European%20mask%20Venice%205.htm
Somen mask, Japanese style:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Protection/zpSomen.htm
Lucha Libre wrestling mask:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Protection/zpWrestling.htm
Fetish mask:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Halloween/Fetish%20mask.htm
Albino Dragon fantasy mask:
http://www.masksoftheworld.com/Halloween/Halloween%20mask%20Dinosauer.htm
Heads for Egyptian godlike characters (eg Jackal)
marrick you talking about my people again 😉
A sleek small gas mask that just covers the mouth and nose like a ninja mask would be nice (separate from goggles).
and more goggles and steampunk goggles as well 🙂
Different crowns. Diadems — plain (like Ozymandias) and elaborate (like LOTR.) Renfaire-style hats (soft, peasant-garb hats.) Beanie–plain and Jughead. Skullcap. Second fedoras, wide and narrow brimmed.
@Jeff: A gas mask akin to the gas mask worn by DC’s Golden Age version of the Sandman would be nice.
A WOW Draenei forehead and maybe some warhammer 40.000 headgear.
Could we have a cobra commander type head mask please. (The cloak type one)
Cheers
could we have steampunk goggles that are worn on the forehead?
and how about that jedi breathing underwater thingie? remember that?
I know this is a bunch of extra work, but could we get animal heads in parts? Useful if you’re doing a hybrid so you can determine just how much is animal and how much is human. Also, many animal parts are just useful for other purposes (um, parts of a skull instead of just one solid piece is very useful, just as an example, and that’s a bigger stretch than this is.)
Items I just realized aren’t in the current sets, but should be IMHO:
The big scaled chest piece in HM2.5 isn’t there. (the one that the green and grey example guy on the main page uses)
You have boot and glove pieces with whicked blades and such coming off of them (army of darkness style) but no matching chestpiece, which I would love to see.
Lastly, this isn’t a request, just a question. The Zombie stuff is pretty useful when you’re making a monster, but the scale of that artwork doesn’t mesh with the artwork you’re pumping out currently. Not a major deal, it can be adjusted with the features HM3 supports. Is there any plans to rescale the old stuff just to save us some work? (AFTER you finish with all the artwork that needs done, of course. We got our priorities strait, after all)
Hi, it’s the first time I’ve posted here but I have an idea for another slot.
How about a slot named ‘Hats’, for modern day hats such as caps or snow hats? Please let me know what you think of this idea and thank you for your time.
Great Headgear suggestions so far, thanks everyone! Keep ’em coming if you got ’em!
@thejay: If you have links to specific images of what you’re asking for, that’d be great. I don’t grok steampunk all that well.
@Jason: I’ll eventually rescale the Zombie stuff, yes. It was just a quick “I’ve already got this, let’s throw it in there for testing” kind of thing.
@Hakoon: There’s already a “Headgear” slot. I’ll have sets of Headgear items similar to HM2, like “Modern”, which would fit what you’re talking about.
Another animal head suggestion: Lynx/wildcat
-Gasmasks (similar to the ones in Half-life 2)
-Norman helmet (with nosebar)
-Medieval soldier’s wide and flat helmet (a precursor to british WWI helmet)
-Napoleonic era soldier’s bucket hat
-Helmets that look like animals (lions head, fish head, dragons head, eagle, A bulls skull)
-Greek helmet (feathers optional)
-A Warhammer-style Chaos warrior helmet (a narrow, T-shaped opening for face with shadow covering face and glowing eyes. Horns optional)
-An 18th century grenadiers cone shaped hat
-Separate visors
-Crowns
-A mask with no eye holes, just a vague facial shape

-Venician style masks + tightly connecting hoods. Examples:

Tricorne hats are always an awesome plus. And I’d love to see the Magneto style helmet from HM2 continue, nothing quite makes a grand style villain like that helmet.
Good stuff Coyote ytmn, thanks!
hope the links helps its kinda a 1800s si/fi kinda thing
happy to help man i can finde more if needed. all sp like to ask for any thing pulp and pirate please
* as i commented before, this version is not yet superheroine-friendly. i’m sure you’ll get there soon enough, so herw’s some suggestions for headgear + other stuff.
* powergirl-like cleavage.
* expanding breast option.
* girly beauty-pageant coronas of all sorts
* scarlet witch headgear
* armored bra
* fur-lined viking-like bra
* the goggles-worn-on the forehead are ordinary goggles – a mad scientist combat tank driver may want both to look proffesional and show off his blue eyes. you already have one in your tech set, but only one, and it’s really limiting.
* plane pilot headgear
* egyptian pharoh sphinx headgear
* apolo 11 like astronaut headgear
* victorian and late 19th century hats (sherlock and friends)
* headgear like that wizard guy from young avengers – forgot his name, but he uses asgardian magic and he has a metal helmet that’s open on top – like gambit, only metal.
* punkist stuff
by the way, foglio’s comics are a great inspiration when it comes to steampunk. visit girlgeniusonline.com

OK JR, I have to draw the line at seconding your OWN request right in the same comment thread, LOL! 😀
yeah sorry. LOL! 😀
ok then i second TheJays Comment #52. LOL! 😀
Albino Dragon fantasy mask:

BTW, JR’s second FF pic looks a lot like Wraith from the GIJoe comics
By the way Jeff, the scouter from my comment #61 hangs off the ear and the green visor covers the eye. Just in case you didn’t know 🙂
Are there any strict copyright laws for the star wars requests in my #61 comment?
I also second a Rorshack mask and third TheJays comment #52.
I have to say that FF armor and weapons in JRs comment are pretty cool too.
How about a squid/octopus head? Something appropriate for a mind flayer or the tentacle face from Pirates of the Carabian.
Kinda late in the game but I just thought of it tonight, I’d love to have a nice angry looking cowl. Of course it can’t have the bat ears, but a nice cowl with angry face details wold be nice.
i was thinking this
http://207.191.182.51/academic/youngb/ist2_2084031-theatre-masks-tragedy-comedy.jpg
If possible, I was thinking, have just the blank mask in headgear and put the happy and sad eyes in “eyes”, happy and sad eyebrows in “eyebrows”, and the happy and sad mouths in mouths so people could customize one.
