The latest happenings on all things HeroMachine.

Crystalline Head

Fabien raised the good point that a crystal body needs a crystal head, which I'm pretty sure must be an ancient Buddhist saying or something. Regardless, HeadMaleStandard now features this piece:

As usual, you might have to clear your browser's cache for the new item to show up.

I've just added the following crystalline body to Body-Male-Alternate. Female version pending. Enjoy!

Whiz Bang Item Creation Poll #1 (Headgear)

[polldaddy poll="7607525"]

The Whiz Bang Item Dispenser is back, all gassed up and with gears turning! This week's poll theme is Headgear, so put on you thinking caps and use your noggins to decide what piece will race ahead of the others!

Now's your chance to decide what artwork I will work on next. Whatever wins the vote will be completed the following week. This doesn't mean I won't work on other pieces. The winning piece will just be guaranteed my attention.

This poll will end on Wednesday, December 11th. After that I'll be posting a new poll every Wednesday with a week to vote on each new set.

As some of you know I've been creating additional pieces for HeroMachine for the past few years. I went on hiatus for awhile and now I'm back, ready to start creating on a regular basis. Thanks to Jeff's digital wizardry, the process has been streamlined and whatever I create can be placed in the program shortly after I finish the artwork. There's a good chance the chosen item will be in HeroMachine a week after it is announced as the poll winner.

HM3: Totally Tubular Wristwear

Whiz Bang brings you more Glove items! Wrist rockets, ring bracer, and gun bracelet. You can find these deadly accessories in GloveRight/Standard and GloveRight/Female.

We also threw in tubes for your flamethrower/ice gun/acid shooter. You can find this piece in the ItemRight/HeavyWeapons set.

Be thankful and enjoy!

HM3: Female Glove Update

GloveRightFemale_112613

A number of female gloves to complete the matching set with their male counterparts. The first item is actually Jeff's artwork. I just repositioned and resized for the female version. These can be found in GloveRight/Female. I will add the Left versions when I get a chance.

HM3: Hair for All Occasions

Whiz Bang has gotten hairy! We've got fiery, spikey, snakey, and grungie. Whatever you like. These pieces can be found in Hair/Standard.

Going to the Dogs

I've just uploaded the "Companion-Dogs" set of items for HeroMachine 3 featuring some from the existing Companions and a lot of brand new ones. Hope you like them!

The Room is Now Available

I've just updated HeroMachine 3 with a new set of items, "Background-Rooms". Currently they're all domestic home style interiors, though more exotic stuff I am sure can come later. Before I do too many of these I wanted to get some feedback as to how they work.

The main drawback is that the Patterns don't really work all that well with them, but I think that's probably just something we'll have to live with for now.

HM3: Retro and Clasp

RetroShirt

 

Whiz Bang brings you tunics from the past's future! You can find these pieces in Tops/FemaleCoats and Tops/MaleCoats. This piece was a prize requested by Trekkie in ages past.

Now put your hands together for Clasped Hands! You can find this piece in HandRight/Standard. This piece was a prize requested by Weilyn.

HM3: Boyz and Girlz n the Hoodies

NewItems_112113

 

Whiz Bang brings you the latest in baggy fashion.  Hoodie tops for men and women. You can find these in Tops/FemaleCoats and Tops/MaleCoats.

The actual hood (on head and off) that was created with the Male Top can be found in Headgear/Modern. In the future I will have to convert the hood assets to the female form since they don't quite match up.
