I've just added a satyr leg to the Body-Monster set for Cliff's Character Contest 86 victory:
Cliff, I know you wanted three separate pieces, but generally I do my best to keep prizes to one item. Hopefully this will work for you.

I've just added the following Batik pattern to "Patterns-Standard" as alvacascus' prize for winning Character Contest 78. If you don't see it, clear your browser cache and try again.
I cleaned up those over-run black bits as well in the final version, after this screen capture was taken. Enjoy!

This week's Sharing Day topic is:
Who have you had the biggest "Nerd Crush" on?
You don't have to pick one of the stars pictured above, they're just here to get you inspired. Or whatever the appropriate adjective is. Ahem. Your answer should be a "celebrity" role, not someone you know in real life like the cute librarian or the hunky life guard who's secretly into "Twilight".
If you like, in return for answering my question to you, you may ask a question of me on any topic and I'll do my best to answer honestly and completely. Just leave your reply (and question, if any) as a comment. The goal is to learn a little more about our community and to put some positive vibes out there on this Friday the 13th!
As for me and my answer to this question ... I'm going to go with Lynda Carter, TV's original Wonder Woman. When she'd come on the screen and do that magic spin, transforming into the metal-brassiered Amazon ... wow. For a young nerd in a time before cable OR the Internet, that was pretty much the pinnacle.
Now, over to you! What actor in a nerdy role have you had your biggest crush on?

I've just added Kytana's prize for winning Character Contest 82 into ItemRight-Miscellaneous:
I had big plans for doing an open version, and then the open version being broken into separate top pieces and bottom pieces, but when I opened the set I realized I'm almost out of room in it. So I had to go with just the closed iteration you see here.

AMS requested some Kirby-like energy effects for the hands, as seen in the recent "Gunner" sketch I did, for his Character Contest 80 prize. It is now available in the "ItemRight-Energy" set in two flavors, one with a clear central area and one with a filled central area. I also dropped in some new spell effect types of rings I've been meaning to add. Enjoy!
I tried to set that last one up so it's kind of like smoke, if you ramp down the transparency and turn off the line color.

When last we left our stuffed bunny, we had decided to pick up a tire iron and, I quote, "get medieval on their asses". Meaning we wanted to walk into a mob of zombies attacking the police station and start hitting them. On purpose.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get zombie guts out of velveteen fur?!
Regardless, the die is cast and here are the results:

Today I am outsourcing "Bad Super Costume Wednesday" to our friends at UGO. Specifically, for this guy:
K. Thor Jensen's writeup pretty much says it all:
Adam X The X-Treme may be the most 90s superhero ever. His name even has "Extreme" in it, for God's sake. Check it off the list: backwards baseball cap? Goatee? Mullet? Mullet and what I guess are supposed to be dreadlocks but look more like pigtails? Spikes and sharp things everywhere? This guy probably got his powers from taking a bath in radioactive Mountain Dew.
Aside from pouches and the singular achievement of killing off comics for a decade, I think the greatest Image legacy is making pigtails on super-heroes normal. That's just so sweet.

If you've been enjoying the "Zombocalypse Now" adventures, author Matt Youngmark's latest adult "Chooseomatic" adventure features super-heroes and the awesome title "Thrusts of Justice"! Today's the release date and they're trying to bomb the Amazon store with orders, so if you're considering a purchase, this is the time to do it.
Here's a quick overview of the book:
You're just an unemployed reporter until a cryptic warning and an explosion outside your favorite bar send you down the road to becoming one of three superpowered heroes (or, potentially, villains - we're not here to judge). Dark vigilante? Armored space cop? Wisecracking mutant? Whichever path you choose, you'd better get busy, because a mysterious plot is afoot and - like it or not - you're the only thing standing between the forces of evil and utter annihilation.
Thrusts of Justice is an action/comedy reimagining of the choose-your-own-path books you grew up with. There are 90 possible endings (81 of which result in your humiliating death).
Humiliating death, people, what could be better?! Get out there and buy yours today!
