Sharing Day: I'm Awesome Edition

Today, I want you to post the best illustration you've ever created, whether with HeroMachine or not. Something you think is awesome, and for which you want to get kudos and applause. Everyone needs a pick-me-up every now and then, so this is your chance.

No negative comments, no critiques, nothing but positive vibes and attaboys! Show us your best and lap up some hard-earned praise!

If you want to ask me a question about something, go ahead, but mostly I just wanted this to be an Anti-Critique, let's all feel good kind of day.

    I’d have to say in my Opinion my Current “best” art piece would have to be this remake of my character Firebird, The original version of which Jeff made the comment looks like a What if Hawkgirl was processed by the Phoenix Force!!

  2. Jeff Hebert says:

    That is nice, Kaldath! Love the flame effects surrounding her and the wing shape of them, it looks great.

  3. Dionne Jinn says:

    Even today I keep with my usual theme of Sandokan-related pictures, but for a change I think I did well with this one (after 20+ revisions). https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=340448215972614&set=a.201686679848769.61050.100000223159388&type=3&theater

    Jeff I think I have a problem, trying to opem my saved files I keep getting a double popup, the top one asks if I am sure I want to “Clear the canvas” I have NO idea why it is doing this, and it’s won’t click off.

    I’ve rebooted, cleared my footprints, rebooted teh whole computer and it keep comig up and wont let me access the saved files.

    any suggestions, this is what I am seeing

  5. Dionne Jinn says:

    And Kaldath (1): Your Phoenix is very impressive!

  6. Jeff Hebert says:

    Cliff: Ummm … wow. That’s a new one. This isn’t really the place for this discussion so I’ll email you privately.

  7. Jeff Hebert says:

    Dionne Jinn, that’s fantastic! What a great setting. If you get the chance, I’m sure folks would love to have that code posted in the Backgrounds area of the forums (without the figure, probably, though he looks great too!).

  8. maniacmick says:

    I don’t know if it’s my best but its my favorite to date. I posted it in the “phenom” thread

    http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu224/seamusmcfrost/maniancmick-nightstalker.png?t=1323397900

    based on George R. Reid’s The Nightslayer, not the DC villain of the same name

  9. Jeff Hebert says:

    Maniacmick, it looks great! Love the black and blue colors and the very design-y feel to the whole thing.

  10. Dionne Jinn says:

    If you give me some instructions where and how to post it, I could do that, sure.

  11. Jeff Hebert says:

    I’m thinking of the HeroMachine 3 Custom Item Archive on the UGO Forums (http://forums.ugo.com/showthread.php?t=41836) — you’d just post a preview image and the text you get when you export it.

  12. Kaldath says:

    Dionne Jinn & maniacmick Both Very Good pieces! I like them A Lot!

  13. Tarkabarka says:

    Good evening all.

    I can’t choose wich is my favourite picture. So i choose this.
    Personnaly i love females :D, fantasy, and story telling pictures. That’s the opinion why i choose this picture.

    So here is Serenya the Elf Warrior, when she rest a little

    (Now i have a lot of injection in my back, and i can sit more than 3 hour. – I RETURN)

  14. Jeff Hebert says:

    That’s lovely, Tarkabarka! Great environment. The character looks pensive and the dragonet alighting on her finger is a wonderful touch.

  15. Whit says:

    I had to narrow it down from four, and I wasn’t going to spam you with all four, but out of the four, this is the one that I could actually see someone purchasing (if such a thing were legal with HM work):

    http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt121/whittierstrong/Whit-CyberneticStates1.png

  16. Jeff Hebert says:

    Very cool, Whit! I will never say no to a cyborg eagle, that’s for darn sure. Nifty concept and a well-executed design.

  17. ams says:

    I would have to say the best things that I have ever created are my 3 boys, but my wife would say she had some part in that. So, after scanning my archive fairly quickly, this character still pops out at me and makes me want to create more. I was influenced by “Batman Inc” at the time, trying to come up with my own “Batman” representitive. The first is my original pic and the second is a action pose suggested by the legendary SDR. (who has fallen off the earth! Come back dude!)

    Cheers!

    hey guys

    heres a sketch i did of Ariel and Eric and then coloured to my liking

  19. Tarkabarka says:

    Kaldath (1) – Nice effect, i like the flame wing

    Dionne Jinn (3) – Very cool background, and great character

    Maniacmic (8) – Great color working, and good idea

    Whit (15) – Great idea and composition

  20. Whit says:

    @BloodlessRose (18): I’m getting an error when I try to open your link.

  21. Moognation says:

    I have a question, Jeff. Any idea when HM3 might go from an alpha to a beta form?

  22. StarMan2000 says:

    Here’s one of a series of pieces i’m fairly proud of, they aren’t flashy or technically astounding, but I put a lot of work into making the transition from an image in Heromachine 2.5 to 3.0. So without further waffle I present:

    Barbarian Bave

  23. Dionne Jinn says:

    Ok, Jeff. I uploaded a “simplified” version of that background accompanied by the text file to the indicated forum. I hope I did it right as I hadn’t used the forum before.

  24. ams says:

    Dang, I’m still in comment moderation……

  25. Zaheelee says:

    I took the ideas from an ODC a while ago and fixed this one up. I am really proud of the shading on it, and it looks a lot better in black and white.

  26. Jeff Hebert says:

    Dionne Jinn, it did work, thank you! For those interested, the direct link is http://forums.ugo.com/showpost.php?p=682583&postcount=69

  27. Kaldath says:

    @ams (24) Thats likely cause Jeff is afraid that the stunning piece of eye candy you have likely posted would so dishearten everyone else with its astounding beauty that no one else would post any thing here today out of sheer awe of your master piece ,,,, or you know Jeff just hasn’t gotten to his spam filter controls yet, which ever.

  28. ams says:

    Thanks dude! You made my day!

  29. Jeff Hebert says:

    Wow, AMS, those are OUTSTANDING! Both of them, just mind-boggling. I can’t decide which one I like best because they’re both so good … great concept and execution on the character design itself, and the settings are perfect.

  30. Jeff Hebert says:

    Bloodless Rose, that’s great! Love seeing the hand-drawn stuff, and the Little Mermaid is possibly my all time favorite Disney animated movie. Keep up the good work on the hand-done drawings!

  31. Jeff Hebert says:

    Moognation: Pretty darn soon.

  32. Jeff Hebert says:

    StarMan2000: I love seeing the transition from the old one version to the new one. Really nice item choices and a cool looking dude.

  33. Jeff Hebert says:

    Zaheelee: I agree, it looks fantastic in black and white. She has a lovely, somber mood about her that’s hard to pull off in these kinds of programs, and that’s due to your skill. Well done!

  34. Jeff Hebert says:

    Volt: That’s great, seriously! The line work is stellar, and you captured a wonderful sense of movement in the cloth even though he’s sitting still. Really, really nice work, I am impressed!

  35. Tarkabarka says:

    A lot of great work. I tell on thing

    Fus – Roh – Dah

  36. Kytana says:

    I have many favourites but i think this was the most difficult work because in this time they were no side face

  39. Jeff Hebert says:

    Kytana: Wow, that’s intense! Very dramatic and convincing illustration.

  40. Jeff Hebert says:

    Doornik1142: Nifty! She looks like she has a great story. Love the eyes and the costume, really nice job.

  41. Dan says:

    @Tarkabarka, you have an injection in your back? Are you ok?

  42. Worf says:

    @Dionne Jinn(3): Is that from the thousand nights? I’m reading them now and it reminds me of one of the stories.

  43. Dionne Jinn says:

    @Worf (46): No, it is the main protagonist from Emilio Salgari’s novels in Sandokan-serie. But I see how you came by that idea. Sandokan stories are set around Malaysia so I wanted kind of Oriental feeling for the picture.

  44. Tarkabarka says:

    I got 5 pieces lydocain injections in my back so now I can’t feel pain when i want to sit down to make pictures.

  49. Jeff Hebert says:

    skybandito: I know this is supposed to be a positive, “attaboy” kind of thing, but … yeah, those aren’t appropriate for here. At all.

  50. skybandito says:

    Sorry, but it’s the best art I have on the puter that’s suitable for late-night television. Didn’t know politics was verboten.

  51. Tuldabar says:

    This: http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm156/Tuldabar/Heros/ShadtheScoundrel.png is one I’m particularly proud of. It’s gone through several Open critique days and many MANY minor tweaks (just did some right before posting 😉 ), and the last save to my pc was a bit of a beast.

    Not only that, but I submitted his image on the TOR forums for reimagining, and here’s what I recieved: http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm156/Tuldabar/Scoundrel.jpg ! Many of the details I added later were to match this a bit more closely (scruff, eye scar, and color scheme), along with a minor positioning issue.

    I have since learned that my strength in HM is item selection, my weakness colors.

  52. Jeff Hebert says:

    Politics isn’t necessarily verboten, but especially on something like this that’s supposed to be all about positive reinforcement, putting up something designed to be negative is missing the point.

  53. Jeff Hebert says:

    Tuldabar: Now neat that you got a custom drawing from it, that’s great! I think I like your version best, though 😉 Good attitude and a fun setting.

  54. skybandito says:

    Mea culpa. (That’s Robert Culp’s little sister.)

    I’ve also been putzing around with refurbishing old Public Domain comic scans from the Digital Comics Museam. It’s not really MY artwork, you understand, but merely cleaning up aged work of my betters. Here’s an out-of-context panel that I hope will take the bad taste out of your mouth.

    To everyone that’s been following the latest contest, this was the thief picture I was talking to Watson Bradshaw about. I changed it up a little since I didn’t like how the back kept ending up, and I kinda like how dark it is now.

    The second one is actually the first character I made with Heromachine that wasn’t based on a previous character of mine.

    Tell me what you think!

  65. Jeff Hebert says:

    Johnny Gear: Yep, that one worked for some reason. Glad it did, that’s a cool looking droid! Love the use of arms as legs, that was very clever.

  66. Jeff Hebert says:

    Trekkie: Wow, they’re both excellent, I can see how you’d have a hard time choosing! I think I lik the Flying superhero a little better, just because he looks more majestic. Bu the scuba diver has a sort of restrained elegance that’s cool too. Oh heck, they’re BOTH great!

  67. Jeff Hebert says:

    Debochira: Probably just one would be better, and that’s all I’ll likely comment on. I’m digging the hand drawn Vegeta! Very nice lines and a cool angle to draw it at. Keep up the good work!

  68. Dionne Jinn says:

    I like them Syntax, especially that second one.

  69. Jeff Hebert says:

    Syntax, I LOVE that second one, I think it works great both as a design and as a character sketch. Great use of colors and items and posing … The loin cloth in particular looks fantastic with that pattern on it. Great job!

  70. Syntax says:

    Thanks! I put a bit of a science joke in there actually—the frog he’s holding is poisonous.

  71. Dionne Jinn says:

    Didn’t some natives use frog poison in arrows?

  72. Syntax says:

    Yup. And now you know!

  73. DiCicatriz says:

  74. Vampyrist says:

    This is the piece I personally see as my best.

    It is based on this quote by Friedrich Nietzche.

    @ams(17): Reaper is awesome!

    I don’t have a “best” in as much as “favorites.” One in particular is Warmage from CC 32: It’s a class thing. For my part, I thought I struck a nice balance between the fantasy and modern elements of Warmage’s uniform.

    His name is A.A Spitz and he is actually a redo of someone else old heromachine entry, so thanks to whoever originally made him for inspiring me.

  78. Vampyrist says:

    My question to you Jeff, is what is the best piece of HM art you have seen? Something that made you happy that you gave someone the tools to make something great.

  79. Syntax says:

    Seeing as this is more than just Heromachine art, this was a picture I made of a theoretical game night between my brothers and myself:http://i.imgur.com/b2Tox.png

    This was a work in progress of mine on paint, hence why the image ends before the figure does. I should probably finish it. http://i.imgur.com/gbcM4.png

    I don’t think of the first one as highly as the second, since that was made using a base. The second was mouse drawn.

    Thejay, Facebook doesn’t seem to like me: it won’t let me see the picture.

    Basic, your trinity is awesome! I especially love the Destroyer, and I know you said it was loosely based on Hindu gods, but wasn’t Shiva a man?

    TOOL, I love the Confederate flag in the background. It makes the car look like a badass, apacolyptic General Lee.

  92. Syntax says:

    Everyone’s stuff os so amazing!

    I suddenly feel very inadequate.

  93. Dionne Jinn says:

    No reason Syntax, your works are very good. But the fact is that we always judge our own creations more harshly than those made by others. At least I tend to be over-critical of my own work, and I think it is true to many others as well.

  94. Basic says:

    Syntax: I did have a male version nearly finished. I though that the female version was better – the dress looked like a spreading pool of blood.

  95. thejay says:

    Syntax, Dionne is totally right.

  96. thejay says:

    This is with more HM stuff. the Dawnbreakers are composed of Matt, a runaway prince who dreams of being a knight; his bastard brother, Jay, who’s kind of a cross between harry potter and batman; and Kate, a half-elf with serious mental issues – she’s known among her people as “Red Revenge”.

  97. Frankie says:

    @ams,17: Awesome! If either of those pictures were on a comic book cover, I would pick it up.

  98. Syntax says:

    @Thejay & Dionne
    Dude, I already know that. It’s not so much that I’m not as good as the others—which I’m not and have no problem admitting it—it’s that well, how would you feel if you posted something you were proud of and no one said anything about it, focusing only on the shinier stuff? Not to sound like an attention whore, but I was hoping that someone would say something about the MSPaint drawings since I put way more time into them than I do the Heromachine images.

    With that in mind, here is the finished version of the incomplete picture I posted earlier. Those who play Dragonfable may notice a similarity to Greed; that was intentional. I imagine him as the little Greedling, all grown up.

    Vampyrist (80): I’ve seen that one before and love it every time. Awesome effects.

  103. Jeff Hebert says:

    Joel (83): Very visceral! Cool concept and I like the sword-spear a lot.

  104. Jeff Hebert says:

    Vampyrist (84): There have been quite a few. One of the first was … I can’t remember who made it or its name, but it was of an alien invasion of a city I think. I couldn’t believe it came out of HeroMachine, it was just amazing. Since then a bunch from dblade, PapaKrok, DiCicatriz, Imp, and a bunch of others make me sit back in my chair and go “Whoah.” I love it when I see something and I can’t figure out how they did it, like with some of SeanDavidRoss’ stuff.

  105. Jeff Hebert says:

    Syntax (85): Usually on these kinds of open critique types of days people just post one thing, otherwise it gets a little overwhelming. But I’m glad you posted both of your original pieces, they’re really nice, with lots of style and interest. Glad to see you doing your own thing!

  106. Jeff Hebert says:

    Imp (86/89): Nifty! That’s a really gorgeous map. Just curious, why did the Panama Canal area flood but Baja didn’t?

    Whatever, dude, it looks fantastic. Really spurs the imagination, you know?

    Malfar (91): Dude, that’s what all of MY notes from school look like! There were times I couldn’t read the actual text because of all my doodles. I like him, especially the funky hair skull tie.

  109. Jeff Hebert says:

    thejay (92): Awesome! Wow, that’s a ton of stuff, so I’ll just say it all looks great. I particularly liked:

    It has so much character and personality.

  110. Jeff Hebert says:

    Basic (94): Very cool concept and I like how you’ve tied them all together visually. I think Creator is probably my favorite.

  111. Jeff Hebert says:

    FRM (95): Both of those are very cool! I love the see-through stealth of the first guy and I think you did a great job keeping the feel of Assassin’s Creed while also adding your own flair to the second.

  112. Jeff Hebert says:

    Syntax (107): Really nice! I’m glad you finished it and posted the final version. I love the way you’ve used just shapes for the spaces without getting caught up in line work, it makes for a super strong visual impact.

    Great job, thanks for posting it!

    As for why people comment more on HM drawings, I think it’s mostly just that people understand those, and know what goes into making them. I suspect people feel a little shy about commenting on hand-done drawings since most people can’t draw by hand themselves, so they’re not sure how to critique it.

  113. Jeff Hebert says:

    With that, just 24 hours late, I’ll draw this session to a close. Thanks to everyone who participated and/or commented!

  114. Dionne Jinn says:

    And thank you, Jeff, for hosting these things and putting up with us.

  115. Syntax says:

    “shapes for the spaces without getting caught up in line work”?

    What are these “shapes” and “spaces” you talk of Jeff? Uh, Sir.

  116. Jeff Hebert says:

    Syntax: I mean, the figure is made up of shapes instead of being delineated at the edges by lines. Obviously there are some lines like in his fingers and hair, but primarily the figure is created by the big black and tan shapes fitting together, as if by collage instead of an ink or pencil line drawing. For instance, in his face, you create the cheek and nose area through the use of the big wedge curve instead of drawing in the line of the nose, the nostrils, etc.

  117. FRM says:

    thanks for the feedback. i’ll post another like jack of Spades for critique.

  118. FRM says:

    i think an idea for a new character contest should be new versions of old characters. for instance Watson Bradshaw’s Tomcat as a new male version of Catwoman.

  119. FRM says:

  121. Syntax says:

    Any particular reason you’ve posted the same gallery on this page at least twice and reminded us at least three times that your LAMIA is in the “Lissom” contest, FRM?

  122. TOOL says:

    @Jeff, with all the bail outs the car industries have been getting im sure someone can make you one lol

  123. Jessica says:

    Okay, so I still maintain that my favorite is Vesta from Friday Night Fights. I still love the way her hair looks like gold in sunlight. Here she is!

    Yeaaah, Heromachine 1 was, uhh, kinda funny in retrospect.
    For reference, the latest version of the character.

  125. Suleman says:

    No, wait, best? Not first? Aww. Fine, I guess the second picture is my best. It will do.

  126. Jeff Hebert says:

    Suleman, this Sharing Day was over last week …

    Do you happen to be a Finn, Suleman?
