    -Sort of a vortex effect?
    -How about a cone effect? (think DnD spells “Cone of Cold”, etc.)
    -An energy ball would be kind of cool.
    -A Beam effect
    -lasers?

    Just a couple of suggestions off the top of my head.

  2. Jose Inoa says:

    Confetti!

    I just gotten this new game Prototype and I thought that another good item group could be limbs. So could you try to create some like these. If you do it would be awesome.

  4. RJ mcd says:

    sparks from the plams

  5. RSC5 says:

    Seconding confetti and palm sparks. My reasons are my own.

  6. marx says:

    -A wisp of smoke, like the one coming out of the plain wand, or the cigar in HM2.x

    -An ice/frost/snow effect (although perhaps this should be a pattern)

  7. LuciferSam says:

    plasma weapon while firing? Like the famous BFG πŸ™‚

  8. kryptkal says:

    a bunch of glowing particles around the hand, body, gun barrel, etc.

  9. Hakoon1 says:

    Maybe something that looks like it’s spinning, like air circulation or something…

  10. Skiriki says:

    Frost.
    Something which looks like a Mandelbrot fractal/fractal patterns in general.
    A swirly spiral pattern (imagine a spiral galaxy).
    Same, but one with STARS.
    A nebula-like effect, misty with points of light and areas of dark.

  11. audiofarmer says:

    1.an energy ball that floats just above the hand.

    2.a sticky gooey slime that covers and drips from the hand
    a la Toad from the X-Men.

    3. plasma energy field around the hand with little plasma bubbles that float up.

    4. electricity sparking outward from the fingertips.

    and on a seperate note, i would love to see a suit set, with seperate pieces like an open/closed jacket, a vest, a dress shirt, a bowtie, a regular necktie, slacks, so on so forth.

  12. Pyrate Hyena says:

    definitly frost.
    and i second that frost pattern idea, although i have no idea how it should look or how to do it… well im sure you can handle this one too

  13. Cailean says:

    how about water shooting from the hand or lava or sothin that looks like he is shooting a sharp rock

  14. PCFDPGrey says:

    My $0.02 would be for playing cards, like a poker hand.

  15. Whit says:

    @ audiofarmer–check out Tops-Standard and Neckwear.

    I think confetti could come in handy for lots of different effects.

  16. Kaldath says:

    an energy blade coming off the hand something akin to Psylocke’s “psychic knife”

  17. Beefy mongoose says:

    i don’t really know how someone could use this but maybe a blur effect that could also maybe be a pattern? i don’t know if that could be done though.

  18. LoneWolf6155 says:

    an energy sphere would be nice

  19. Jeff Hebert says:

    @Andre: I always loved George Perez’ energy effects. Good call.

  20. Timespike says:

    An effect (and possibly a hand graphic to go with it) that makes it look like the hand is wrapped around a very brightly glowing sphere with beams of light radiating out from between the fingers.

  21. MartianBlue says:

    I have 2 suggestions/requests
    1.) A forward blast effect (slightly veering to each side would probably look better, then straight on, but you be the judge). That’s what I tried to capture here. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Elemental-Water.jpg
    2.) A summoner/burst effect (with arms spread and fire/etc. running along arms,shoulders, and head.) Not exactly what I was going for here, but the stance is right. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m189/acebase_2006/Hero%20Forum/Elemental-Fire.jpg
    Thanks SuperJeff

  22. Mr.Vampire says:

    Wow I was just thinking to myself the other day that you should work on energy effects next.

    As for what to include, I agree with what everyone else said about sticky/gooey, whispy, electrical, plasma and bright light stuff, especially the cone shape effects (cold, fire sparkley etc)

    Also how about a puff of smoke/air super breath style.

    And an effect that looks like it goes Bwooshhvvzz.

    Blody hands

    plus more like fire, water, lightning, tree roots, hands like wolverine and sabertooth

  24. HM3roxursox says:

    i think it would be cool to have some type of sphyracle ice ball or a bunch of little metal balls flying around your hand
    mabie a couple fire balls could do the trick well those r just off the top of my head so good luck with HM3!

  25. HM3roxursox says:

    mabie a whole body thing could work

  26. JaWz says:

    I like the playing card idea…possibly with the same effects as in Xmen origins….with it does an arc like pattern…

  27. Eric says:

    I’d definitely like to see lightning and a type of force looking beam.

    A flurry of snowflakes!

  30. redvector says:

    Fire or energy penatagram the suurounds the hand.

  31. robert ball says:

    Sorry, this isn’t about the hands, but how about some single alphabetic letter logos? My bunch is pretty egotistical and they like to put their monograms on their fronts. There’s just no pleasing SOME heroes – and heroines!
