This one also turned out more finished than I planned. I think maybe he's Namor's kid brother or nephew or adopted ward or something. From the countryside of Atlantis with that mullet, it seems.

Caption Contest 68 – The game is afoot!

Starting this week I am moving contests to Mondays*, so heads-up on that. And to "kick" off the change, your challenge this week is to come up with the funniest replacement dialog for this blank comic book panel:

maxx-3-1993-sam-keith-toenails

Yeah, good luck with that! The rules are simple:

  • Entries must be made as a comment (or comments) to this post;
  • Keep it relatively clean (appropriate for late-night broadcast TV at worst);
  • No more than three entries per person, so use your best stuff!

I'll announce a winner next Monday, who will receive their choice of either any item of their choice, or a portrait of themselves, either of which will be included in the final HeroMachine 3 version.

Good luck everyone!

*The current character contest will be judged tomorrow as per the old system, with the next coming next Monday instead of next Tuesday, then we'll be completely on the new schedule.

SOD.018 – Spitcurl

I was trying to figure out some hair issues. Super-tough.

SOD.017 – Girl with gun

This one started out from a reference photo, and while I meant it to be a quick sketch it turned into an actual illustration. Sometimes it happens like that. No screen cast as it was all sort of accidental.

SOD.016 – Dwarven warrior

016

This one turned into more of a finished drawing than a sketch, although if it were really for publication there's still a bit I'd do to it. I'd likely shorten up the nose some, dress up the linework on the helmet, and work on the mouth.

I went ahead and screencast this one, too, although it took me so long I ran out of the ten minute YouTube time limit. There was a decent amount of work after the end of the video, but such is life. For those of you who are interested, here's the clip:

HM3: More alternate body pieces

I just updated the Body-MaleAlternates set of items with the upper bodies broken up into complete upper torso; torso only; left arm; and right arm. Next up will be the left leg and right leg, then the hands and feet will go into those slots.
