A color challenge

Damien has pointed out that the arrangement of the color swatches in HM3 lacks something. Specifically, it lacks a coherent order. If someone wants to take the set of colors and arrange them in a way that makes more sense, I'd appreciate it. I suck at that kind of thing, but I'll take a crack at it if no one else wants to. Complete list for ease of cutting-and-pasting after the jump.

HM3: Houston, we have spandex

I've now added a set of "LegwearMaleSpandex" items to the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. Enjoy! Holler if there are spandex variations you'd like to see. I'm thinking I should probably include at least the flying-type full-length leggings too.

HM3: We got pantsed

I've just updated the HeroMachine 3 Alpha with the "LegwearMaleStandard" set of items. All of the basic items from HeroMachine 2.0's Pants set are there, plus a bunch. Some of the more esoteric suggestions from the last thread will have to wait for specialized sets, but I've got them written down. I wanted to get the basics in first. Holler if you see anything egregious missing.

I hope you like them! Just as a teaser, here's a set of four items from the HeroMachine 2.0 Pants-Standard genre side-by-side with their new versions in the HeroMachine 3.0 LegwearMaleStandard set:

Goodness knows I don't have any room to talk on this subject since I can't draw women to save my life, but no one ever said you have to be able to "do" in order to "criticize". With that out of the way, let me say that reason number seven I hate Rob Liefeld's art is that he can't draw women to save my life, either.

We all know by now that he can't draw feet. So when it comes to drawing women's feet, well, it's like a perfect storm of suckage:

HM3: Calling all pants

I am currently drawing new Pants for HM3 (to be known as "Legwear"). Post any requests you have for pants-like items.

HM3: Webs

Thanks to subtle reminders, I've added a dark and a light web pattern to the HM3 Alpha. I also changed the interface so that when you delete an item in a slot, you stay in that slot.
