I color-coded the different pieces I used to cover up the overlaps. It's not nearly as perfect as I can make it look with trickses. But the "blue corner overlaps" should be solvable with either the triangle Insignia or the arrowhead, appropriately stretched. Bulletholes cost extra. :) http://www.heromachine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/mikal-armor-breakdown.png

I had to go with the Background one. It's on the second page of Backgrounds, if that helps. I sometimes forget it's there myself and get confused! Nope, it was too small to stretch far enough.

And two squares to cover the mecha-nipples. @ Paul: It was the heart-shaped Background, turned upside down and stretched a bit. And two squares to cover the mecha-nipples.

It looks similar to the top portion of the first piece in the tops tech portion but I can't figure out how you masked it to get just the top half. Damien,

So we're probably not going to see that in the near future. However, on the drive to my in-law's place yesterday, it occured to me that I'd neglected that very subject in my Super-Sizer Posers Post yesterday. So I will be addressing "that very subject" this coming week. I'll offer tips to make your females seem less physically imposing, as well as diagrams on how to give your character a more feminine "attitude." If anyone has any other comments for this or any posts they'd like to see, let me know! @ TheJay–Jeff said a while back that someone else would be handling the female half of the HM items, and that won’t happen until Jeff finishes the rest of the male items..

So that's his main concern right now, and I for one can agree with that. Don't worry, I doubt he'll stop drawing for long :) @Chase–Jeff said earlier this week “I need to dive back into the save/load code…I’ll also try to run down the problem with the PNG and JPG options giving you the itty-bitty-guy-in-the-corner when you have any hands selected…those are the most major problems right now, that I feel like need to be addressed before moving on in good conscience to the next bunch of items…”
