BovinesAndBritches

The Whiz Bang is revving up production with a few items...

The leg armor was the winning item of a Item Creation Poll a month or so back. The thigh, knee, and shin pieces can be found in Legwear/MaleStandard, while the briefs can be found in Legwear/MaleBriefs, and the shoes in FootRight/MaleTech.

The Bull Head is a remnant of my Bison Head creation. It can be found in Head/Animals.

Character Design Contest ♯64- Bad Superpowers

So, this week I want you guys to come up with a character that has a bad or useless superpower. By bad/ useless, I mean something that you couldn't use in a combat situation (see the Inferior 5) or that has a drawback so bad that it can't be used (e.g. being able to explode your body, but only once). I won't be too strict on these, just so long as you give a decent explanation for why it's a bad power.

As usual, no entry limit and 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: http://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.

Exporting in Chrome Broken Again

Chrome has apparently auto updated again and once more they've broken something, so the Export function isn't working in that browser at the moment. This happened once before and within a few days they updated again and it started working. I don't know what it is they break and I don't know how they fix it, but unfortunately all I can do is wait on them. In the meantime, Firefox continues to work properly, so if you don't want to do screen captures, that's your best bet.
