@ Suleman – Good find on that foot! I don’t know if I would have ever thought of doing that.
“Sometimes HM forces you to decide between authenticity and anatomy.” You said that much better than the way I tried to explain it, thank you.
@ Lull-carae – Thank you kindly for the welcome and those amazing compliments! I’m honored that you think so highly of the gallery.
I’m still trying to get through many of the other galleries as I find myself getting lost (in a good way!) in a lot of the great works on this forum. Thank you again, my friend!
Thanks, everybody. Glad to see you like what I do!
@cliff: Since the gem characters in Steven Universe are all named after their gemstone, Apatite’s name comes naturally. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by Stitch here. Could be my second-language English or my lack of experience in visual design. Is that a reference to this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_stitching
My guides are mostly a way for me to analyze my own methods to understand what I’m doing and possibly make some improvements. If any of y’all have got some ideas or comments about them, I’d be interested in reading and discussing them. For example, I’m still not entirely sure what kind of effect upward pointing elements have in a design, or if these methods of mine actually work.
I welcome you and your diverse characters, together with your humor and ideas!
(+1) at start for you, since i smiled and laughted at zombie one and one with SuperKitty.
Also, Teufelblut and Qatella catched my eyes. That’s the style i like the most, so they grab (+1,5)
Waiting for more of your creations, hoping to see even more humor-filled ones also!
Maxman and Microwoman seems like great pair, and they also look great (+2)
Also, all three new updates deserve gigantic (+1), they look so much greater and perfected.
Overall, AMS creation train is still going at warp speed! Hoping to comment (next time without being late) the upcoming great creations!
Vanessa and Chris/ Kaitlin are soooooo[…]oooooo[…]oooooo cuuute together!
So cute i shall now hug them in mind, if you don’t mind
<And so, hug, and (+1,5) for “Sisters” happens>
Other characters i missed to comment on time also deserve solid (+1,5) for great overall…everything!
I saw you few times before today, while i was writing comments on other topics, and i had no idea who you are. But now i know why! You joined when i was kinda-afk on forums! So…
Late and awkard “welcome to the forums”!
Wonderful start, and great continuation. From the first character you showed on this topic to Master Li, i am amazed, stunned and at the same time ashamed that i didn’t comment ealier the miracles you created over here.
(+2) for you, and that means you are from now on the one of the elite/godlike creators of Heromachine for me.
waiting for more creations that i can adore (and comment while not being late!)
Loving light effect in the Burning Veins
The flames shape is so beutyfull in my opinion
And finally, a lot of darkness, that is what i love!
(+1,5) for you, Hawk!
So much epic stuff i didn’t commented… Brain… Can’t process… them all AGHH!!!
Error 404
Lull not found
automatic (+2) for the 4-5 pages of great creations
None of the feet in HM exactly match the knife-edge kick at that angle, unfortunately. There’s one possible exception, which would require scavenging from the Companions section, like so:

The issues are the angles of the foot and the ankle. Sometimes HM forces you to decide between authenticity and anatomy.
Did i ever commented about backgrounds in your creations?
if no, then read this:
those bacgrounds are really unique part of your all creations, i like it. It makes characters fell diffrent, and by that i mean they look epic, characters on backgrounds you use.
overall, you got nice and big (+1,5) on every creation that i didn’t commented (i am to lazy to comment every single one individualy, but i really adore all of them!)
