I've just posted an update to the ItemRight-Polearms set that includes Loki's prize for winning Caption Contest 61. Actually, there are TWO "rune-carved wizard staves" because I wasn't sure the first one was what he was looking for. So Loki, let me know if either of these work for you:
It's a bit hard to tell, but the second two entries go together. The first has the majority of the staff one color with the globe at the end the secondary color so you can get that magical orb effect. The runes are the secondary color of the last item, the curved stone with the ties so you can attach it to another staff. That way you can have the runes "glow" a different color if you want.

I have just posted an update to the "ItemRightPolearms" set in the HeroMachine 3 Alpha. There are more than ten new items to Mark's already great set, including a lance; cobra head (thanks Danny!); a naginata; and many more, directly from your list of requests. Here's a screen shot of the previews for most of them:
Hope you like 'em! I am assuming we're done with Polearms for now, and will be moving on to more Vehicles in the morning unless I hear a surge of support for something else.
Many thanks again to Mark for doing most of the work on this, you saved my bacon, big guy!

Look, if cross-dressing is your thing, more power to you. I suspect, however, that Jimmy Olsen did not enter into this emerald travesty of mini-skirt and go-go boots of his own volition, but rather is experiencing yet more side-effects from whatever "give me super powers for a day" potion he's chugged willy-nilly this time:
Perhaps Jimmy got confused, and thought he was Supergirl's best pal, and so wore a costume to honor her. Or maybe he just gets his jollies flashing the crowd as he uses his newly acquired power of flight. Regardless, if you're dressed worse than a guy with his underwear on the outside and a trapeze artist, odds are you should consider going into a different line of work. Or at least a different line of fashion.

Usually when I do these caption contests, I have at least some idea of what I would put if I were entering, but not so this week:
Definitely some interesting bits to work with there, though, you have to give me that! Anyway, your challenge is to fill in the missing dialog with your own invention. Funniest entry wins either any item of their choice or a caricature of themselves to be included in the final HeroMachine 3 program!
All entries must be made in the comments to this post, and you can only enter up to three times. Also, please keep it relatively clean. I’ll choose a winner next Tuesday, so until then, good luck!

The character contest challenge this week was to take a common phrase of two words (or three if you could swing it) and turn that into a super-powered pair of characters, like "Hawk and Dove" or "Love and War" or "Cloak and Dagger". A lot of the entries were very good, but the featured pair weren't really a phrase like that. For instance, I think Crinold's "Gaia and Quicksand" are marvelous illustrations, but "Gaia and Quicksand" isn't a saying:
Having said that, I thought the following submissions were great examples of good illustrations that also fit the contest concept. Well done all!
