I've updated the main HeroMachine 3 Alpha application to incorporate the "Undo" feature I mentioned yesterday. Testing has revealed it doesn't cause the Apocalypse, so we're good to go. Please let me know if you have any issues with this release.
For those who missed the post yesterday, this is the new "Undo" button:
It'll undo until there's nothing else to undo. Color changes, scaling, rotation, moving an item with either the mouse or the transform buttons, alpha changes, deletions, additions, "color all skin/hair", "Clear All", you name it, you can probably undo it, except for transformations using the "All Items" grouping, since I'll be changing how that works in the relatively near future.
Hope you like it!

I say if you're a body builder with lovely curls who wants to show up at your late-night bar bouncer gig in a dress and open-toe wrap-around sandals, you should totally go for it:
Trying to get a super-hero job out of it seems like a stretch, but then, who am I to question my favorite pin-up? After all, he has (and I am not making this up) "bouncing powers". Which makes sense because he used to be a statue.
It's too bad entertainment isn't as solid, intelligent, and completely normal as it used to be Back in the Day, amiright?!

Dimensional transport, magic spell gone awry, or simple editorial fiat, I don't care how it happens, let's just imagine it does happen:
Looking at this list I can hear you asking incredulously, "Where's Spider-Man?! Where's WOLVERINE?!?!!1!" They're not on the list for one simple reason -- they'd win. And that would be no fun. So I made the challenge a bit tougher for you.
Discussion to follow!

I've posted a test version of HeroMachine 3 here featuring the first pass at the "undo" feature for those brave enough to give it a whirl. This test version shouldn't affect your "real" saved characters at all, they're totally separate files. But caveat emptor and all that.
It's pretty much what it sounds like -- do stuff and if you don't like how it turns out, click the "Undo" button:
It'll undo until there's nothing else to undo. Color changes, scaling, rotation, moving an item with either the mouse or the transform buttons, alpha changes, deletions, additions, "color all skin/hair", "Clear All", you name it, you can probably undo it.
Currently there is no limit on how many "levels" of undo there are, but I'll probably need to cap it at some point.
If you've a penchant for life on the edge, I'd appreciate your trying it out and letting me know how it works for you. Hopefully we can work out the bugs in this and then, when it's ready, make it the "real" HM3 alpha for everyone to use. I particularly want to make sure it doesn't mess up saving and loading of characters, so if you can check that out that would be great.
Edited to Add: I'll be taking down the "C" test version from a few weeks ago in a few hours, so if there's anything you wanted from it, you better get it asap.

With hearty thanks once again to Glenn3's "Say What? Pictures", your challenge this week is to come up with the best replacement dialog for this comics panel:
The presence of the headline adds a little wrinkle to this one. I can't wait to see what incredible words you come up with that have so stunned this attractive young lady!
The best entry (as judged by yours truly) wins the author's choice of either any item they like or any portrait to be included in HeroMachine 3′s final release, or a custom black and white “Sketch of the Day” style illustration (you pick the subject, I draw it however I like).
All entries must be left as a comment (or comments) to this post. Keep ‘em clean (appropriate for a late-night broadcast TV show), but most importantly, keep ‘em funny!
No limit on the number of submissions beyond normal self-editing (i.e. don’t spam crappy entries hoping to get lucky), so good luck to everyone. Contest closes next Monday.

Many thanks to everyone who submitted an illustration for Character Contest 58: Simply Your Best. It was a real treat getting to see the pieces you feel the best about, and in my book your'e all winners already!
So while I'm obliged to pick out just a relative handful (and only one winner) from all of those submitted, I really think you all deserve a big round of applause. There was hardly a bad one in the entire bunch.
And now, on to the images!
