Today's Site Outage!

I want to take this time to apologize on behalf of the Heromachine staff to the community for today’s extended outage. As soon as I discovered the site not working this morning I contacted Jeff about it and he went to work on it right away,  and has been hard at work  all day long working to get things back up and running smooth for us all! I want to ask you at this time to keep an eye on how things are running  for you and if you see any wonky behavior anywhere on Heromachine.com to either email me at Kaldath@gmail.com , or contact Jeff directly at afdstudios@gmail.com and let us know about it. Jeff is looking into options new to minimize future outages, however if another outage happens you can go out the Heromachine facebook page ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/HeroMachine/267161975232 ) to keep up to date on the sites status.

Post Error: Contest Mix up

Last night when I was writing my post for today I was exhausted and got confused causing me to accidentally end the caption contest two days early instead of posting the Character redesign challenge winner. I was going to correct that and take down my post however the website had issues with it being down all day. SO I most apologize  to you all for ending the caption contest earlier then I stated. I have been giving some though of switching the two around any, so from this point going forward the caption contest will be on Tuesdays, and the Character Re-design ( or poll position if I go back to them ) will be on Wednesdays. Once again I am sorry for today’s mix up!

Honest Jack's Used Cars

You wanted a garage sale? Well, that’s what comes of it! You’ll find these sweet new rides in Companions/Vehicles.

Hmm, did I check the trunks of those cars?! Hope I didn’t forget anything in there… 😉

Too Tall Lass: “And I suck at basketball!”
Mad Jack
He: You have beautiful eyes.

Worf

Girl: No! Your hair is the same as it’s always been.

Wayne

The winner is ……………………………….

Creators Club Reminder

Hey guys, just a reminder that, if you haven’t already, you can still submit entries for this years creators club poster. I’ve had a few entries already, but I’d still like more.

You can find the entry requirements and other info here: https://www.heromachine.com/2014/01/08/creators-club-2014/

To everyone who has submitted stuff already, thanks. However, I am still waiting for text from one person (CantDraw, I’m looking at you here), so anyone who is thinking of submitting stuff, take this as a warning, if I don’t get text by the shut off date of Feb 5th, you won’t be in the poster, which would be a shame.

Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say, so JR out.

Justice League: War

Here is a clip DC comics released on Youtube from soon to be released “Justice League: War” Animated Movie :

I most say even though it was a very short clip, I think they went with an interesting take on Wonder Woman, though I am not sure I like the costume design they went with here.

Character Design Contest ♯57- Old School: Energy Blaster

This week I want you guys to create an energy blaster type character. I want to see your characters using their powers, but apart from that you can go wild. Hero/ villain, Modern or Golden Age, doesn’t matter.

As per usual, no limits on entries this week, the contest will close at midnight Saturday (blog time). The winner gets to claim a custom made item from dblade to be put into heromachine, so long as the item conforms to his prize rules, which you can find here: https://www.heromachine.com/forum/the-heromachine-art-gallery/dblades-whiz-bang-item-dispenser/. Please read the contest rules before entering, have fun and good luck.

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. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

Back From The Basement

Coff coff. Did’nt you hear my screaming? I was trapped in a humongous cobweb on my way to the basement. It took me days to get out of it while hiding from that monster spider.

But hey – guess what I found, when I finally got downstairs? An old tattoo parlor! What, you don’t believe me? Well, I brought prove. Therefore you’ll find 3 new sets with a total of 360 (!) tattoo motives in the insignia category: Insignia/TattoosAnimal, Insignia/TattoosMisc, and Insignia/TattoosTribals.

If you don’t know what to do with them, maybe take a look in this forum thread, where I posted a few characters that I’ve done with photoshop some time ago. Of course you will find all the materials I used there in the new sets. So, there you go – have at it… 😉

Phew, now I’m exhausted. Wait … didn’t somebody say something about a garage sale?! Hmmm….

Modern Women

I’ve just updated Companions-Humanoid with the following women, dressed more appropriate to the modern era:
