Warrior mini, hands
Here's a first look at the hands I drew today for the HM Warrior Mini:
If you have any positions you think would work better, or if there are different sorts of hands you'd like, let me know in comments.

Melee weapons
Some of these are combination melee and ranged weapons, but mostly they're for hand-to-hand stuff. Hope you like 'em.

Guns guns and more guns
"Hey, nice guns!" she said admiringly.
"Thanks!" I replied, flexing my biceps.
"No, idiot, the guns you spent all day drawing."
So since she didn't really want to look at my guns, I now inflict them on you. Flex flex.

The sound of exploding fairies
From the pages of "Elfquest" comes this profoundly disturbing image of a fairy splooging herself into a troll's face, in what I think I can safely say is the first example I have ever seen in a mainstream comic of a reverse facial:
As artists, we're often asked to come up with odd sound effect visuals, but I am pretty sure this one takes the cake. The next panel, where the troll has to wipe the sticky white goo off his face (I am not making this up) is almost as good, but doesn't qualify as onomontoPOWia because there's no actual sound effect. Still, in the interest of completeness for the historical record, here it is:
Hats off to the Pinis for breaking the prudery barrier with this bold gender reversal.

Warrior Mini guns preview
I've been working on the HM Modren Warrior Mini all day, and have the first five hand-held items ready to roll. Here's a sneak preview:
I'm running into some difficulties with masking -- the shoulder stock on the bottom left gun, for instance, looks weird when masked by the hand. Not sure how to fix that yet, or if I can given the way it's all built. But it's a neat looking gun, you have to give me that!
Also, if you look closely you can see I stole the top three items from Caption Contest prizes. Can you tell which?

My Portuguese is a bit rusty but thanks to Google Translator, I'm pretty sure the guys who do Her-O-Matic have a new version in the works, previewed here:
And here's another preview of the app:
What do you all think? It's got some really cool features, most of which (I think) are going to be do-able in the HM Warrior Mini, and then in HM3. Particularly the heads and hands and legs and such being swappable. The only big think I can see they have that I don't is the texturizing, but I have a pretty good idea how to do that. Is that something you'd want?
On the other hand, I don't see that in their version you can scale, rotate, or move objects, and I think you're going to find with the Mini that they are key features, which are going to make for some very powerful options.
They also don't have item previews, little versions of each one that you can scroll through. How important is that to you?
Anyway, they're doing a nice job, and I was curious what you thought about it. If there's anything you see that you want HM3 to have, let me know in the comments.
