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.

When last we left our intrepid stuffed bunny explorer, we were experiencing a severe case of authorial smack-down, wherein he gaver us the hand while we considered of enacting scenes from "Pulp Fiction". Only instead of a samurai sword and a gut-wrenching case of involuntary S&M, we had a tire iron and a gut-eating case of zombies. It would seem that cooler heads prevailed and we decided to go with the disguise option instead. Now we get to see if this Matt Youngmark fellow is a kindly old guiding-force wizard or a reader-hating attack weasel.

Being a fashion rebel sometimes is a good thing. But not in the case of Dark Horse Comics' 1991 character "Rebel":
That's right, dudes, for the cost of just a little flattery, this black-leotard-wearing, mullet-clad, ski-goggle-sporting flamer of love can be yours!
I can't decide if my favorite part of his look is the hair, the abstract white chest pattern, or the skull and cross bones over the stylized heart. Because why have a piratical skull and crossbones when you can have love and crossbones?! I'm trying to imagine a less scary insignia without resorting to bunnies or puppies, but I'm coming up blank.
I particularly love that the logo is repeated on his shins. I guess when you've got a good thing you've got to work it.
Props also to the writer of that second panel, because that is some crunchy dialog right there, folks. Entirely appropriate given his ridiculous getup, of course, but still, the next time some old fart tells you "They don't write 'em like they used to!", feel free to point to this panel as a reason why.
