HeroMachine on your iPad, iPhone, or Android device!

If you've ever been frustrated by being unable to use HeroMachine on an iPad, iPhone, or Android device (as I have), your problems are solved! For a very small price, you can install the Photon Browser from AppsVerse onto your mobile device and enjoy any Flash-based content on the Internet, like HeroMachine.

I've been playing with it all day on my iPhone and it works great. It does cost a nominal fee (I want to say $4), but you can finally take HeroMachine (and all other Flash content) with you wherever you go.

Open Thread #H1

I am having a open thread day for today. Due to some health problems I am going to have to cut the contest and challenges down to one per week. I really hate to do this. The last few Share Days have done really good, so I am thinking about posting more of them during the week. Isia and I can set the topics up to post during the week. I want to use today for everyone to give me ideas for topics. I want to have the topic to play hand in hand with Hero Machine. This way people can design characters for the topics and share them. A good example would be yesterday's Share Day Topic about fantasy races, you could post what you believe they should look like. So let's hear your ideas.

Share Day #H10

There was a request last week for us to share our favorite Fantasy Races. Feel free to tell us your favorite and not so favorite races of fantasy people.

Open Critique Day #H21

It is time again to share your art with us.

My new rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings.

Motorcycle Magician Madness!

During the DC's prequel storyline to the New 52 universe known as Flashpoint, DC made some radical changes to many characters in the DCU as the Flashpoint altered the timeline. Zatanna was one of those changes.

Zatanna

 

Here you see Zantanna before and during Fashpoint. In the alternate timeline of the Flashpoint event, Zatanna is a member of the Secret Seven and also is a member of a motorcycle gang, her father Giovanni "John" Zatara was transformed into a motorcycle when Zatanna is riding on him. Zatanna is killed while trying to cast a death spell on Enchantress.

 

Now I have to say that even with this altered history as a Bike Babe, it is my opinion that her outfit is VERY extreme looking more like a New York city street walker instead of a Hell's Angel.  Heck I have been in New York at night and those "street walkers" dress better then this! I mean look at those pants! I understand the concept of low riders however if these were any "lower" they'd be nothing more then a pair of pant legs.  Combine it with her Jacket I say that Zatanna was just looking for an way to let everyone know she enjoys wearing leather undergarments.

 

Oh and Just for reference this is Zatanna's new look after Flash point in the New DC 52 Universe:

Though it most be noted that she still wears she classic costume when on stage in her job as a Stage Magician.
