Recipe: Size still matters

I lied last week and said Hammerknight's recipes included resizing information for the female template's feet. Oops. Luckily he has made me an un-liar, with this week's installment! Many thanks to him as always for generously sharing his time and skill with the rest of us slackers. As usual, click on either image to enlarge for legibility.

Thanks again, Hammerknight!

Gui-Tar-HE-ro

A couple of weeks ago Martian Blue posted a character holding a truly amazing hand-crafted electric guitar. He was kind enough to put together a guide on how to make your own guitar from bits and pieces in HM3, which I really appreciate. Hopefully it'll help others see how to make their own creations, as well. Thanks Martian Blue!

Handing it to you

Many thanks to Hammerknight for these two great guides on how to properly position and scale the existing hands and feet for the female template. Good stuff as always! I am definitely thankful for HK on this Thanksgiving, and for all of you who are willing to share your creativity, humor, and time to help make this such a fun and entertaining site.

At the boutique

Hammerknight was asked in the last recipe posting for help dressing up the admittedly very primitive and limited female figure, so he was nice enough to provide the following quick guide. Many thanks to him as always for the help! If there's anything in particular you want to see him put together be sure to let him know in the comments.

Thanks HK!

Friday Fashion, Saturday edition

Hammerknight was nice enough to agree to push his "How To" post from Friday to today so Mark's polearms would be sure to be noticed, but I'm glad to get this extra edition of the always great recipe series up to help you develop the perfect character sketch. This edition focuses on hair styles for you adventurous composers of female portraits. Thanks again Hammerknight!
