Hero Machine LOPV Characters!

Alright guys, it took me over an hour to find all the pieces and put it together, but I'd like some criticism if anybody has some better ideas to make it look more like the real thing......

I proudly present Prince Valiant, Hero Machine Edition:




If you want to try your hand at making one: http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heromachine2/heroMachine2.asp

Don't forget to share your work. If anybody needs help with taking screenshots, just ask.

Nice job, Kirk!

cool Kirk i like the page-boy look, it sorta blends LOPV with Hal Foster's PV. the pose, boots and crest tie it together making it at once recognizable as Valiant. i think you did an awesome job.

I like your Valiant, Kirk. This is the first time I've ever seen, Hero Machine. I tried my hand with it, and it's really neat. I never could draw using the computer, since it gives you bases and everything it makes it easy and fun. If I create a character worthy of Prince Valiant, I'll share it.

Good try Kirk. It was recognizable as Valiant.

What can I say Kirk, you inspired me.

Knights, Knaves, and Ladies I give you Valiant, Arn and Rowanne's newest companion..... Ben ( Hero Machine edition) :

Wow, nice work buddy! Ben fits right into LOPV!

I was attempting to do Arn awhile ago, but I wasn't sure what outfit to try... First I went for the peasant attire, but the closest thing I could find was a long sleeved tunic. I then tried to make his red and white clothes, but I couldn't find a proper shirt. Any advice?

BTW, thanks for all the nice comments guys! I know it wasn't that great. I mean come on, it's easy to nitpick it. LOL And yes, I agree Jeannie, Hero Machine is fun.

Lookin' good Ben. I may have to make one for myself now. With the lack of news everywhere... We have the time.

I like to write books, so I sometimes use that program to design my characters. It helps when I'm in the development stage. Currently, I'm taking a break from writing, but I have wrote some pretty sweet stories in some folders under my bed. I may get them published one day.

Kirk: After looking at the options, I think the long-sleeve or sleeveless peasant tunic would be fine for Arn.

Thanks for the suggestion Sophie. When I get some free time, I'll try it out.

As you can see, I did my version of Merlin

Merlin is awesome Sull! i love that background you used! So cool!

Finally got around to making Arn:



Nice Merlin by the way, Sully!

Hey good one Kirk! You got the colors down..and the quaterstaff. I like the hair. The outfit turned out great, good choice. With Val and Arn made, is Rowanne next, buddy?

Come on guys, make yourselves, I'm getting lonely in Hero Machine Land.

No need to be lonely anymore, Ben:

Ah-hem? Can I come too Jordan?




I LOVED yours! lol

Of course, Leah! Wow, I like yours too.

Let's see if I can do this properly! Unfortunately I could not find any pieces that look remotely close to my faire garb, so instead of seeing a representation of me in persona, you get something else entirely. The crossbow I do not wield yet, though I have a...shall we say, vested interest in obtaining one, and have chosen a model, its a matter of actually coughing up the funds. So in the meantime, have a pretty picture, (with a not so cool background, it was weird enough figuring out how to do this with my mac, alas!)
Edited for size. Someday I really need to figure out html!

Here I am....

Guys, I gave up trying to make the rest of the characters after many failed attempts. It's hard to make anything look right with the choices they give you. I think the HERO MACHINE program is stylized with a design that doesn't transcend to the level of LOPV quality. Just wanted to give an update for those loyal few following my work. I have not given up, I've only surrendered.

Well Kirk, I really did like the ones you made. I know how it is though... I get burnt out on projects like that. I spent hours one day trying to make myself a siggy, only to delete it. Grrr... I frankly don't get along with text on images. I always make a mess.

Usually I'm a person who has trouble making a signature, but for this site I managed to get inspired.
