Your character creation challenge for this week is going to be a bit more focused than last time: you must create a character (or characters) based on the animal kingdom. That might mean a super chimpanzee, or it might mean The Battling Beaver super-hero, or it might be a space-zombie-fighting intergalactic robot horse, or it might be your take on the Beastmaster, or a fantasy ranger with his wolf companion, or or or anything else you can think of, so long as it relates in some way to an animal. The rules are the same as last time:
- No editing in anything but HeroMachine (except for basic cropping or sticking a label on it or something);
- Post a link to your image in the comments;
- You must use a version of HeroMachine to create your image.
The winner will get to choose either one item or a caricature of their head to go in the HeroMachine 3 final version so they can serve as a model for countless legions of creative people the world over! The contest runs from now until next Tuesday, at which time a winner will be announced.
Good luck everyone, I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Ooh, I get to make one of the first entries!

Before the fall of the Soviet Union, one man policed the skies of central Asia for Mother Russia: a hero known as the Berkut. Taking his codename from the fierce golden eagles bred for wolf-hunting by the Kirghiz tribesmen, the Berkut was one of Asia’s most well-known metahumans, but was little known in the rest of the world, except by intelligence services. A staunch communist, he was dismayed when the USSR collapsed, and spent nearly a decade as a super-powered mercenary, selling his services to the highest bidder in the near-constant brush wars that raged in the former Soviet Asian republics. He converted to Islam in the late 90s, and is currently working in conjunction with the Taliban. He has been growing more and more disillusioned with the actions of the Muslim terrorists he’s found himself in bed with, and only time will tell if he can resurrect himself as the hero older Russians remember him as…

There are several items that aren’t working at all right now–at minimum, Belt, Shoulder Left and Right, and Insignia.
Whit, those slots are all working fine for me using the online version. What is happening when you try to use them? Or do you mean there are individual items within those slots that are not working properly for some reason?
I was trying to use them on a saved file. When I went to load a file, nothing came up, so my guess is the problem is with save/load, since the slots are working fine on a new file.
Oh, and nothing is happening at all–click on an item, and nothing changes.
Just now, I tried to open a saved file, and only half the slots appeared in the image.
Yeah, saving and loading are very rough. Basically it looks like sometimes an item gets “lost” as we’ve seen in other avenues, and then when you try to do anything with the set it was in you’re screwed. However, there’s also a problem with layering, so it’s possible that the items are there but buried under other items that are now on top of it that shouldn’t be. If you see the little mini toolbar in the item preview box then the item probably is there, try clicking on that toolbar (which is supposed to pick the item without adding a new one) and then move it to the top of the stack.
This is Rock Rhino. He story is in my thread.

Codenamed : Death From Above
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Eagle.jpg
I decided to give a little story as well. Sorry for the length.
One of the last survivng races of the ancient world, such as the faun and minotaur, where man-like animal hybrids would roam the world. This race of sky warriors have an average lifespan of 1000s of years. Their weapons of choice are of the ranged variety, particularly bows and spears, made of an extremely rare metal, with visual qualities similar to gold, and physical qualities very similar to titanium. When using bows, they would paint their arrows the color of the sky, so that they would appear invisible as they soared toward there destination. They earned the nickname of “Death from Above” due not only to their ability to fly, but also because of their “Death Plunges”. Due to their wings and arms being attached, they could not sustain flight while attacking, so they developed the technique known as the “Death Plunge”, where they would soar to great heights, draw their weapons, instantly entering a dead fall at insane speeds, and moments before hitting the ground, with deadly accuracy launch their weapons instantly killing their foes, then spread their wings and retreat back into the sky for their next attack.

Centasus – the only known combination of a centaur and a pegasus, the Centasus has the best and worst of both races. Having the ability to attack with either weapons (preferring the bow & arrow, bolo, club and/or sling) or with normal horse attack (hooves) or with wings.
The Centasus also has a great knowledge of astronomy and astrology, as well as divination. There is also a great distrust of humans and dwarves, and especially ogres, trolls and the like. They will tolerate elves and halflings. They are shunned by other centaurs and the like.
They have a great love for horses and similar creatures. There are no known communities of centasus and no known matings.

The Kat-Ji of the african savanna are as fearce as they are beautiful. With their gleaming bronze like skin coloring, mezmorizing emerald green eyes, and majestic physics, they are very pleasing to the eye. The perfect blend of speed and grace, makes them one of the fastest and most revered races of the ancient world. Favored weapons include bows and spears, but in a Kat-Ji’s opinion nothing is as satisfying as achieving a kill using their own claws(not going into detail here). Although they are extremely loving amongst their own packs, the Kat-ji are a hateful and bloodthirsty race, thriving on war, always in the ultimate battle for ultimate supremacy. Especially violent towards oposing tribes of their own kind, due to the fact that the Kat-Ji consider they have no equal. Beatufiul, Fearce, Graceful, Bloodthirsty, and most of all Arrogant, These are what it means to be a Kat-Ji

Codenamed : Evolution
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Fishandbowl.jpg
I wrote a story(little long), with 4 pictures just for fun. My only entrant of the four is the one above. Enjoy!
Firstly let me start off by saying, “Yes I do have a point to this!” Ok now that that’s settled, let’s get started.
Man and the Evolution of Water Breathing
Meet Man. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Man.jpg
Every since the dawn of time, Man has been looking for that next step in evolution(not the we came from monkeys malarkey, but true evolution). “How do we make ourselves better, stronger, faster?”, “Wouldn’t it be cool, if we could fly, breathe underwater, or travel the unknown vastness that is woman?” Well obviously some things will always remain a mystery, *cough* a woman’s logic *cough*. So man decided, “Let’s start at the bottom and work our way up!” Seeing as how water is under sky, he decided to start with trying to figure out how man might breathe water.
So he grabbed a boat, a fishing rod, a fish bowl, and a glistening bottle of the sparkley stuff(not water) and he set off, in the name of science. Upon arriving at the lake he began casting his line, hours went by and he caught nothing, just about to give up, he got a bite. After the 2.3 seconds it took him to reel in his line, he layed the smoking fishing rod to the side. With fish in bowl http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Fishandbowl.jpg
he popped the top of the sparkley stuff(again, not water) and added a few drips into the bowl, one thing lead to another, badda badda bing, badda badda bang, and well… you know how the story goes(oh yeah, that old chestnut).
This was the resulting product. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/FishMan.jpg
Needless to say, the experiment was less than successful. But as all scientist do, when something doesn’t work the first time, try try again until it does. So man did just that he tried again, and again, and again, each and every time resulting in the same outcome (go figure). Seeing the direct route wasn’t working, he decided to go the in-direct route, after governing a new rule, “Don’t play with your food!”, and so finally gene splicing was invented.
Seeing the outcome http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Mer-Man.jpg
man was satisfied and had thereby conqured the evolution of breathing water, but unfortunatley having spent his whole life researching in exsclusion in a boat in the middle of the ocean, when man died shortly after he took his secret with him, and since his offspring couldn’t leave the water, the secret has been lost to our world.
Make that Pushmi-pullyu.

As I’ve mentioned before, I like to experiment with different poses. When Jeff announced that this week’s contest was animal themed, I decided to to try and make a pouncing or leaping character. After a bit of experimentation, I settled on a classic werewolf, leaping out of the shadows to pounce on his prey. The tricky part was the perspective, making the grasping claws and slavering jaws seem closer to you than the feet.
I’m not sure I really captured the airborne effect I was going for. To me, he looks like he’s charging rather than jumping. But that’s almost as effective. So here’s my entry: “Leaping Lupine.”

@Hammerknight – Love the Sumo Walrus. Simple but effective. Challenege: Can you pose him in a Sumo stance? ex http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/5822154/2/istockphoto_5822154-sumo-wrestler-in-a-fighting-stance.jpg
Betcha can!
@DJ – I’m always blown away by the ambition of your pics.
@The Imp – I like the text boxes. Keep ’em.
@Jeff – Those clawed zombie hands are popular. Any chance we can get a wider variety of claws?
@ MartianBlue: I got it for ya.
@ Marx: thank you! My wife was saying the same thing about Ninja Squirrel. I almost didn’t include him, but she insisted. As for the furry chest…dude, just some strategically-placed beards. But it is the little things that make a piece, isn’t it? I think I’ll cover that in my next art blog. Speaking of which, there’s a Mechanics blog post coming tomorrow (I’m up to two a week so far! An art piece and a how-to-in-HM3). So stay tuned!
Here you go Marx, I change up a little. Sumo Hippo.

Quaxo, alter ego of Mr.Mistoffelees, i think thats how you spell it oO
Nice jazz hands! Love your Cats, Haydnc95!
@Hammerknight – Knew you could do it. Not bad with Sumo Hippo, but I really like your centaur. Clever use of limbs to create the pose. My hat’s off to you.
Thanks Marx.
I Promised myself that I wouldn’t enter in this contest because all my animal ideas look gay (no offence to anyone who is gay, I just ment it as a figure of speech), but then I got bored making random stuff so I decided that I would Post one of the most random gay (once again, no offence) looking character I did, so introducing…
Crab-Man!
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/9715/crabman.png
Cristopher Mansoo was once an office clerk on the coast of Florida, but one day, whist he was running on the beach, he got nipped by radioactive crab and lost his legs and his arm to a shark. When he awoke in hosptial he found that his lost arm had slowly started growing back and was transforming into a crab claw. He then created some crab-like legs to side-walk around with and changed his identity to Crab-Man, he then dedicated his life to destroying the evil shark-men and eradicating the evil king of the sharks.
… Btw I am really sorry about how bad Crab-Man’s story is, I’m just really tired because it’s 1am here in England.
arwwww, thanks Whit 🙂
you can tell it one of my fav musicals 😀
I like Crab-Man, Matt. 🙂
