Come up with the funniest — while still being clean, that’s important this week, as you’ll see — replacement dialog for the balloon in this panel and you’ll win the chance to include any item you like, or a portrait of yourself, in HeroMachine 3!
The rules are simple:
That’s it! Good luck everyone, we’ll post the Finalists for voting next Monday.

Many thanks to all the great entries for Character Contest 29 – Armorium! I’ve picked a handful of illustrations I thought were exceptionally good to serve as Honorable Mentions and whet your appetite before getting to the big winner.

Apparently I have a thing for the Rocketeer. Note I stole the background from the contest prize for Captain Thorn and the jet pack from Backplane-Standard. Sue me.
I also tried doing more “advanced” coloring right in Flash. The main problem I am running into on that front is getting the line color right, as Flash doesn’t have a nifty “preserve transparency” option like Photoshop does. There’s a way around it with Masking but it’s crude and hard to work with. It’s fun learning, though.

A friend on Facebook (he teaches “Lord of the Rings” in college, so he’s pretty much the Greatest Person Ever) posted a link to this site and I have been laughing my head off all morning reading it. It’s possibly the awesomest comic book idea ever, pairing the story-writing skills of a five year old (literally, it’s written by a five year old) with the art skills of a 29 year old illustrator. Truly funny stuff. Check out The Adventures of Axe Cop here, and take a look at just two of the many hilarious panels:
You too can thrill to the adventures of such secondary characters as Sockarang (he has socks instead of arms that he can fling out and retrieve like boomerangs) and stand amazed as anyone touched with blood becomes some bizarre version of that thing.
Plus, dinosaurs with chain guns for arms. Seriously, this kid is going to grow up to be Chris Sims at this rate. It’s great fun, by all means check it out for a wonderful weekend time waster.
