Thanks, Kaldath.

Great start! Welcome to the forum. Those black-grey-white images are my favourites so far. Beautiful!

Bloody Mary is amazing! Great work! The way you did the glasses is especially convincing. A great detail.

Thanks. I sometimes spend more time doing the background than doing the characters. If you want to use one of my backgrounds, I don’t mind. I have uploaded some of them to “Custom item” archive and added text files, so anyone can use them.

Nice looking jedi and a good pose, but two double bladed lightsabers? Seriously? That has to be like the most impractical weapon combination ever, because a double bladed lightsaber behaves more like a quarter staff than a sword and should be treated as two-hand weapon.

Helene Malden and Martin Rowe might appear like an innocent dating couple, but looks can be deceiving. Helene works at saloons, serving drinks, dancing and singing (sometimes doing other things as well) while Martin clears out their victim’s pockets in poker table, while they both study the city staking out the “big prize”, be it the local bank, rich ranch owner’s house or another establishment. And before locals have time to say “sheriff” the couple is in the wind with a rich haul and they are preparing to start their coup again in another, unsuspecting town…

Thanks, Harlequin. I would like to see your character. I’m thinking of doing another Vampire character of mine, Ada Cale (and yes, her given name did come from Salgari’s Ada, because I was running low on ideas for names at the time and it suited her just fine)…

Anyway, here is an OCD (improved) version of the main cast of The Mystery of the Black Jungle. Unfortunately I had to shrink it a lot to get it under the 500 KB limit.

And then back to Sandokan-related stuff. Here are two pictures (older one and a re-done one) I have done from the main cast of Emilio Salgari’s novel The Mystery of the Black Jungle, and who also appeared in Sandokan – The Pirates of Malaysia. The man who is standing back is named Kammamuri, he is a servant and friend to Tremal-Naik (the man kneeling with the tiger) and guardian and protector of Ada, Tremal-Naik’s bride and an (unwilling) priestess of Indian goddess Kali.

The original picture:

And here is the re-done version:

Sorry to hear so sad news from you, Weilyn. My deepest sympathy to you and all your family.

Thanks, Moog.

Here is a character of mine from long-since-ended Vampire – Masquerade RPG. Her name was Laura and she was a Toreador, and a professional photographer. Her ghoul-cat came to be from a gaming session held in LARP-style in my parents’s house, when my cat was hanging around the place (we didn’t have the heart to lock her in the bathroom for the duration of the game), so as we were supposed to be in Laura’s home, my cat became her ghoul and featured regularly in later pen-and-paper gaming sessions.

I actually meant the “execution”. Pun, like a word game. Execution meaning the “execution of prisoners” (in this case by hanging)…

[Dionne Jinn]

Was that pun intended? And I know it is a bit grotesque, but Red Corsair’s hanging is an important part of the story… And anyway it can’t all be pretty all the time.

Some of you old faces might remember this guy (the one in the middle) from my early days with HM. Or you might not… Even I had almost completely forgotten him until a few days ago when I chatted with a friend of mine about Emilio Salgari’s novels. He asked me if I had done anything from Il Corsaro Nero (The Black Corsair) with HeroMachine. I have, but I was never really happy about what I came up with, so I decided to go back to them and rework my picture of the Red Corsair (“Corsaro Rosso”, the brother of the Black Corsair) hanging from the gallows…

Congrats, Moog!
