Replacement Prizes 2 List 1

As voted on by you, the astute and powerful HeroMachine users, I am starting work on the first set of the second round of Replacment Prizes. The following contest winners' prizes are now forfeit to the larger community. Their loss is your gain!

Character Contest Prize: Creeper

Borntobealoser requested a creeper or some other "Minecraft" item as his prize for winning Character Contest 66. Rather than doing the big pixellated version you see in the actual game, I decided to do something more interpretive, inspired by this Scifer take. Hope you like it, BTBAL! It is now live in Companions-Standard.

HM3: Turned heads

Kytana requested a "profile head" for her Character Contest 68 prize. I've put up three versions in Head-Male-Standard as a test -- let me know what you think. It didn't make sense to me to leave off the nose, mouth, and eyes, since there aren't any profile-view versions of those.

HM3: Kimono

I've just uploaded the following kimono to Tops-Female-Dresses in HeroMachine 3 as Chasca's prize for winning Character Contest 69.

HM3: Galley

Frevoli requested an oceangoing pirate type galley for his Caption Contest 102 victory, and I've just posted it to Companion-Vehicles. I made the sails color1, so you can Mask an insignia or whatever to them, creating the effect of a pattern just on the sails without going onto the wood part. The light gray in the preview is a 30% black screen so it will look more like those parts are in shadow. Enjoy!

Caption Contest 101 Prize

As his prize for winning Caption Contest 101, ajw chose a custom drawing of an awesome action figure he created. So here's your drawing, ajw, hope you like it!

Replacement Prize 2 Results

The voting is over for the Replacement Prizes, and the results are in. I don't yet know for sure exactly how many of these will get done, but at least the first five, probably more. Any time a winner doesn't know what to request, they can refer to this list and pick one, or they can just say "whatever's next on the Replacement Prize list" and we'll be good to go. Thanks to everyone who chimed in!

HeroMachine 3 Replacement Items 2 VOTE!

In lieu of our usual Poll Position metaphysical question today, it's time to vote on what items you'd like to see in HeroMachine 3 to take the place of various unclaimed contest prizes! You can vote once, for up to 10 items. As of noon next Tuesday, the top 10 vote getters overall will be slotted in as replacement prizes. These are all from the suggestion thread a few days ago.

You should be able to click the image next to each choice for a sample of what the submitter was talking about. On a few, I lumped together several suggestions into one choice if they were similar enough. Others I left off because they were either already done by dblade (Converse shoes) or have already been claimed as a prize by someone else (3/4 view head).

There are a lot of these, so I'm putting the poll after the jump so the front page doesn't get too long. If you want to make your case for a particular item in the comments, go for it!

Open bids on unclaimed contest prizes

A number of people who have won prizes never got back to me on what they wanted as their prize. But their loss might be your gain! In the comments to this post, please suggest replacement prize items that would go into HeroMachine 3. Submissions with links to images showing what you mean are particularly helpful. I'll compile the best submissions into a poll starting next week and everyone will be able to vote on what they'd most like to see.

The currrently unclaimed prizes are:

Caption Contests:

  • 83 Bob Loblaw
  • 84 Larkin
  • 93 Boomcow2
  • 94 Patrick
  • 97 Patrick
  • 99 Gargoyle323

Character Contests:

  • 32 Vigilante
  • 42 Morzan

If you're one of those, let me know ASAP so you can claim your prize.

Whoever I don't hear from by next Friday will have their prize thrown into the general pool.

HM3: Gun blade

I've finally uploaded Tool's prize for winning Caption Contest 96 -- the following gun blade, available now in ItemRight-Pistols. Hope you like it, Tool, and that everyone gets some use out of it!
