META: What the heck am I doing?
I just wanted to give a quick update as to what all is going on here at HeroMachine World Headquarters in the greater metropolitan Bayfield, Colorado area.
First, I am still finishing up details of updating all the old HeroMachine mini-Editions to the new UGO.com page dimensions and layout. Hopefully they'll all function in a more similar fashion after this and be easier to work with.
Second, I'm working full tilt on the HeroMachine Mech Edition for the paying client, which you've seen a bit of art for in the Pilots preview.
Third, Friend of HeroMachine Mark is working on Rifles. So don't think all progress on HM3 has stopped just because I am working on a mini-Edition -- it hasn't. He's doing a great job on them, I've seen the first 40 or so items and they are his usual outstanding effort. I think you'll all be pleased when they're ready. We've got plenty of material for those so no need to post requests or links.
Just for funsies, here's another Pilot I did the other day.

Poll Position: Dogfight!
Most of the "Versus" matchups we've thought about involved melee characters beating the snot out of each other with their fists. And I'm all for that. But the ranged specialists in comicdom have been sadly neglected, an oversight I aim to correct this week:

Character Contest 38 – Random Name II: This time it's personal
We haven't done one of these in a while, but it was so fun the first time around I wanted to try it again.
Whoever comes up with the best character based on a random name generated by Seventh Sanctum Superhero/Villain Name Generator will win his or her choice of either any item they like, or a portrait, to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version! The rules are fairly simple:
- Go to the Seventh Sanctum Superhero/Villain Name Generator and choose "10" from the number of names to generate. Leave the other selection boxes at their default and hit "Generate". Your character(s) must be based on one of these generated names. Try your best to limit yourself to one spin of the wheel instead of generating names over and over till you get one you like!
- Post an image of your character(s) to any publicly accessible web site (i.e. PhotoBucket.com, ImageShack.com, etc.) and put the link(s) and any commentary in a comment to this post.
- Check back on Monday to see if you won!
No limit on entries this week, so knock yourselves out. Just make them good!

Caption Contest 78 VOTE!
Thanks both to everyone who entered Caption Contest 78, and (belatedly) to Glenn3 for her excellent work assembling one of the strangest and most entertaining collections of comic book panels with their dialog removed ever.
The main challenge this week was coming up with something funny without being dirty, and I must say I was very impressed with how well you all pulled it off (ahem). I thought the following nine entries were the best; please vote for all the ones you think would be worthy of a win, and next Monday the top vote-getter will get his or her choice of either any item they like, or a portrait, to be included in HeroMachine 3. Click on any image to see it at a larger size.
Thanks again to everyone who entered, and congratulations to the following Finalists!
