If you really need me to explain why I've chosen this weeks featuree (is that a word? It is now) as Character Of The week, I'd suggest you get your eyes checked, and possibly return them to the manufacturer, because they're obviously faulty.
See what I mean? Linea says it's all just insignias, but I think it's more likely witchcraft. If I didn't know she'd used heromachine I wouldn't believe it was heromachine. Linea has a talent for making cats and this is a fine example. The pose might look simple, but I can't even imagine the patience required to get it to work and look so seamless. Of course, there are still some bits that could do with some attention; the paws in this case, they could do with some features, such as definition between the toes so they don't just look like blobs, but overall it's incredible. Then we have the background. The glow effect works really well as a contrast against the black, grey and dull browns of the rest of the background. I also like the fact that the glow is reflected, not only off of the rest of the background, but off of the character its self. It shows that the character is actually interacting with the surroundings, which shows real thought on the part of Linea.
Stunning work.
This is some beautiful work! I really don’t know how she makes cats look so good. She gave me a picture she drew during last year’s Christmas Swap for me to recreate on HM and I’ve never been able to do it. You rock Linea24!
I’m really happy you featured Linea24’s image. Not only is it beautiful and well-executed, but it clearly demonstrates the versatility of HeroMachine and the creator community. You can go well beyond traditional superheroes with this program. Well done, Linea. I love your style and I love that you have a style.
She helped make a cat sneezing out boogers look cute for me during a Christmas swap once . . .
Nice Linea! I didn’t know it was insignias when I seen it on DA. Just blew my mind with that one!

Agreed! This is one of those creations that really show what potential the program has in the hands of a creative mind.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, I really admire Linea’s use of pastels. It so far away from my the cold colour pallets that I use myself, and the tone of the art is so vastly different from the stuff I make. By all rights I shouldn’t really be a fan of hers, but dammit, I absolutely love her artstyle, and her creations are always an absolute joy to behold.
This is just such an amazing work of art that just goes beyond what HM usually is. I can’t begin to imagine how it’s done. Amazing.
Thanks, everyone! I feel so honored!
