HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator

Thanks hawk007, shading is exactly what I was trying to learn/practice for that design.

I see what you mean hawk007, thanks, though I am kind of surprised there is no easy solution and think it’s kind of tedious if it’s the only way. Because I think the beauty of heromachine is to be able to manage layers in a simple and effective manner, making multiple underlayer copies just to allow multiple masking makes it really hard to manage and much less flexible, for example, if you need to move the hard, you now need to move both heads and from my experience, when two layers are completely aligned and in the same side laid on top of one another, it will be very hard to select.

Great shading! Looks very smooth.

You can’t mask more than one thing to an item. Don’t know why, but you can’t. But there is a way you can make it look like more than one thing is masked.

Say you want two tattoos on a head. You mask one tattoo to the head. Then, you make a second head, totally identical in size and place, and mask the other tattoo to that. Then, you make the second head totally transparent, and you can bring it down to the bottom layer, if you want.

Also, if I understand it right, you can’t do the second one, either. Just make make multiple of the tattoo, exactly the same in shape, place, and color, and mask each one to a different body part, but in the exact same place, so it looks continuous.

I hope this helped a little.

I’m late! I’m late! [elbows large white rabbit out of the way] Keric! Pick 3!

Thanks! I personally think seeing these two characters fight would be the coolest thing ever.

I tried taking a page from AMS’s book with the posing– good to hear it was effective. 😀

Thanks!

Going through some creative block right now.  Anyone up for an art trade?

Those two last characters are already two of my favorite on here. The costume, posing, shading. Everything’s amazing!
