I’ve just added Myro’s prize for winning Pop Quiz 6 to HandRight-Standard and HandRight-Female. In addition, as long as I was in there I went ahead and added the side-view fist to HandRight-Standard as well. Note that the female thumbs-up is redrawn to look more feminine for hers. Getting the item masking right on this one was tricky, so let me know how items mask to the hands.

We got 23 24 great entries for Pop Quiz 7, which challenged you to come up with an image that incorporated this randomly selected item:
And here they all are!

Get ready for your pop quiz, kids! Your one-day quick-fire challenge is to use this item from the Belt-Military set (first page, second row, third item) in a creative way:
Your submission must include this item. Although it’s originally a belt buckle, I’ll warn you that a dude wearing a belt with this as the buckle has zero chance of winning. Be creative! You might turn it into a weapon head, or a helmet of some sort, or a robot’s main body, or a cool sports logo.
You only get one entry — that’s right, just one! So make it your best.
Most of the other rules are the same as for a regular contest, but instead of a whole week I’ll announce the winner either tonight or first thing in the morning.
The winner will receive their choice of either one item or one portrait to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 release, or one Sketch of the Day style drawing where you pick the subject and I draw it how I like.
Good luck!

Frankie had a loooooong outstanding prize request from before I was really doing regular contests, and he finally cashed in. I dub thee “Frankenarm”. It can now be found in Tops-Female-Spandex. Why there instead of Female Gloves? Because like a moron I haven’t done female gloves yet, a project that now has moved to the top of my list. And I didn’t put it in hands because Frankie indicated he didn’t want to be able to put items in it, but would rather be able to mask other items onto it (those are two mutually exclusive things, by the way). Thus, Frankenarm:

AMS’ final prize in his magical mystery win-a-palooza tour over the last few months is a three quarter view female leg, now available in Body-Female-Standard:
I went ahead and broke it into three items — the whole leg, just the thigh, and just the lower leg.

Apparently I promised Kytana a vase in addition to her treasure chest, so I’ve just updated ItemRight-Miscellaneous with this one:

Although my new full-time (non-HeroMachine) job might keep me from actually getting to these before this afternoon, it’s time for another Open Critique Day!
If you have a HeroMachine illustration or another piece of artwork you’ve done that you’d like some help with, post a link to it in comments along with your thoughts on it — what you think is working, what you’re struggling with, etc. I will post my critique of the piece, hopefully giving some tips on how to improve it.
Of course everyone is welcome to post their critiques as well, keeping in mind the following rules:
That’s it! Hopefully we can get some good interaction going here and help everyone (me included!) learn a little bit today.
