Someone on the “Star Wars: The Old Republic” forums posted the following:
Maybe I’m just going through a stage of Male-PMS, but I feel like being really blunt here. The people who post screenshots of there person made with HeroMachine and call it their artwork, well, there are several things wrong with this:
1.) HeroMachine is not your program, your just using a public device. You cannot call it your art if you didn’t make it. So you spent hours slaving over the hardest efforts to click a button many times to get a poor rendition of something that vaguely resembles a person with a generic stance that never changes.
2.) It’s beyond unoriginal. I’ve seen it a lot around here, and it just irks me! It is so much more beneficial to ask someone to draw it for you. It benefits you in that you have a genuine piece of artwork that somebody actually put effort into. It also benefits them in that it helps them with the experience. Computers don’t learn to draw from reference sheets and imagination, they get it from a billionaire who programs it into them.
I think it’s an interesting question — are images created in HeroMachine art? Why or why not?

Jeff’s Super Hero Fashion Tip #32: If you don’t want to look like road kill, don’t wear helmets that make your head look like a steering wheel and a uniform with tire tread marks on it.
Example:
A lesser writer would say something like “If only his uniform were a mirage, ha ha!” but I would not stoop so low. But I would never take such a cheap joke, I prefer to keep it high-brow.
This guy looks like he should opening at the Mirage in Vegas, ha ha!

With profound thanks to Mark Shute, I’m happy to announce that his ItemRight-Rifles set is now live in HeroMachine 3 and ready for outfitting your various dinosaur marines. Woot! More to come in this set, but we didn’t want to limit you unduly with the contest this week. Please do not make requests for Rifles yet, Mark wants a separate thread for that so he can keep track of it, once he’s all done with the ones he’s already got plans for.
Also, I’ve been working on prizes for past contests and have uploaded several, including the following:
