Marvel has had some "interesting" costume models over the years, but had you told me they could combine the likes of the Shoney's Big Boy:
With German lederhosen:
By way of a super-powered S&M fetish and a glowing, creepy, vaguely obscene mouth-hole in order to give us this:

I just got word that the HeroMachine Mech Edition project has been canceled. I didn't have a ton of art in it, but what I have will transfer to HM3 where possible. Apologies to all, I am disappointed we won't get to see it come to fruition.

Kaldath and I have finally finished his prize for the overall Friday Night Fights win:
To make it official, this is the LAST multi-character prize I will do for anyone, in the unlikely event I start doing character portraits as prizes again. No knock on Kaldath, who as always was a pleasure to work with, but it's way, way too much work.

One of the more irritating customs of the comics genre is that nothing is permanent. If your favorite character or supporting cast member dies, just wait a few issues and he or she will be back, one way or another. They play the same trick with powers, taking them away and adding them over and over again, so if you follow a character long enough you end up in a constant fugue state of deja-vu, knowing you've seen that story arc before.
That remains true even for the Big Guy himself, Superman, who's been through the death-no powers-new powers-back to the old powers loop plenty of times, particularly in the recent past. But I got to wondering what it would be like in a fantasy fantasy world where Superman permanently had one of his major powers deleted:

An epic fail weekend as I did not post a Sketch of the Day on either Saturday or Sunday. But, better late than never -- here's the one for Saturday.
