Olympian Games: Track and Field

On behalf of Hammerknight, I am happy to give you your next round of competition for the Olympian Games, Track and Field! You can vote for up to three people who you think would be in the top three in an other-worldly, multi-dimensional comic-book slug-fest to determine who's the best. I imagine Track & Field is not just for speed but also things like hurdles, pole vault, hammer hurl, etc.

Duke it out in the comments about who you think would win, and why.

Hand placement

Hammerknight has put together a great quick guide to how to properly place hands on your illustrations. HeroMachine 2 didn't let you change anything from the default spots so it wasn't an issue, but with HM3 you can rotate and move and flip the arms and hands however you like, and sometimes that can cause problems. Even we professional illustrators sometimes have to break out a mirror and check out how things are supposed to go, so I am sure you'll find this wonderful guide very handy. Thanks HK!
