I've been working on the backlog of contest prizes for the last week or so, and have a couple that I completed but forgot to post about. So here goes! These items are all now available in the HeroMachine 3 Alpha.
First, MartianBlue's great concept for a dragon helm, located in Headgear-Standard (Character Contest 34 - Cavalier!):

SpiderCow2010 requested a "generic city skyline" for the Background-Sky set for Character Contest 31 - Weapon:

I never heard back from TopHat about approving his prize for Caption Contest 70, so I am unilaterally declaring it done! For the life of me, I can't remember why I have the first glove you see but regardless, it's in now. Bonus! These are both in GloveLeft/Right-Standard:

Finally, Meg wanted a Kalidah from the "Wizard of Oz" books for her Caption Contest 35 victory, now in Companions-Standard:

For the next couple of days I will continue to work on prizes while Mark is fleshing out the Rifles set, and then I'll have to move on to the Mech Edition.
Congratulations again to all the winners, and thanks as well for coming up with these neat prize ideas in the first place, then waiting so patiently for me to get to them.
That new helmet is freak’n amazing! I likey.
I can’t get the metal claw-glove to work. I click on it, but it doesn’t appear.
I liked the helm so much I had to try it out right away.

Danny, sorry about that, try it now — I had a setting wrong.
MMI, very cool!
@the good Mr. Hebert: It works! Excellent job!
Thanks again for the helm Jeff. You did an amazing job with it.
Jeff- Can I just ask why the first male standard body sometimes has feet, and sometimes doesn’t? It’s being to become quite annoying.
It’s because in some of the earlier sets I forgot to unLink the body template, which originally had the feet attached. When you load those up, it overwrites the existing footless body with the footed one from the new set. Irritating, I know, I just need to go back through all the sets and unLink the template.
As soon as I saw that helmet I knew exactly what character I had to redesign using it.

Cheers for making the claws Jeff.
One of the best parts of the helmet is that despite being ornate and detailed it still allows for a lot of flexibility because it is partially open faced. A few more open faced helmets like this could really expand the options of the HM3.

Love them all.
Could’ve used the steel talon for the Dinomarines contest π
