Woody just sent me the final promo painting for the Super Omega Deathbattle Warzone Apocalypse game, featuring fully painted versions of the contest winners. And dizZAM do they look great! Congrats again to all the winners and to Woody for getting such a fantastic piece put together.

When my laptop got stolen a few months ago, it had some updated HeroMachine source files on it, containing things like a bunch of headgear and boots and tops from dblade that were not backed up. Restoring files from my Durango desktop meant that I got old versions of those files without the new items in them. So when I later went and added yet more new stuff (like the hoodies) and put the resulting file on the server, it was missing all the previous additions.

The good news is, all of the fantastic dblade items I lost when I overwrote the Headgear-Modern set with the new hoodies have been restored (if you don't see them, clear your browser cache). The bad news is, they're not in the same order as they used to be, so you might notice some weirdness when loading old saves. I apologize for that. The missing dblade fantasy boot also is up now.

Having finally figuring out how to decipher which other items were out of date on my local system but not on the server, I have updated the Eyes-Standard and Tops-Male-Tech sets as well. So if I have to do any updates for those going forward, we'll be set and you won't lose anything. Hopefully.

Speaking of dblade, I've finished two of dblade's outstanding prize requests, portraits of him and his adorable daughter Amelia, available now in Head-Winners:

And finally, I want to once again thank dblade publicly for all of his great work adding items to HeroMachine 3. He's made a huge impact on the program, all on a volunteer basis. We're beyond lucky to have someone with that much talent giving of it so generously. Thank you, dblade, you rock!

Edited to Add: Dang, I forgot that I also put in two "face-kicking shoe bottoms" in FootRight-Standard as well as the prize for Fuzztone's Pop Quiz win!

I've just updated Headgear-Mask with TOOL's "Friday Night Fights 3" consolation round prize:

Note that color2 is the skull/torn up paint sort of stuff, so if you want just a pure mask in the general outline you can make color2 transparent.

Enjoy!

Note that this means my only two outstanding "named" prizes are a ten-speed bike for Nick Hentschel and an open umbrella for Dan. Then it's on to the replacement prizes and I will be caught up, finally!

DiCicatriz and I have finished work on his prize for being the overall Friday Night Fights 3 champion. It's a duo of his original characters, Wraith and Howl. Here they are in black and white (click to embiggen any of these):

And here they are in color:
