Theron Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 (I tried searching and didn't see anything that matched. Apologies if this has already been scooped.) Most of us are familiar with HeroMachine (if you're not, give it a look, it's pretty nifty). In the last day or so, I learned about a similar online toy that generates art in the style of the DC animated shows. EDIT: I've been asked to put in the new link that actually works. Here you go: http://fabricadeherois.blogspot.com/ Here's a sample, one of my long-running PCs, Troubadour: Enjoy! (EDIT: I did put the final product through Photoshop, but only to insert his proper chest insignia. Everything else is from the program.)

Legatus Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Cool! I love the animated style. Can't wait to see the faces of my players when I present them their next opponents in that cartoon style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenn Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I never cared for Hero Machine. These look pretty cool. I wish that the Babel fish site translated it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Obvious Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Not only does this look like a pretty nifty art generator, but looking at some of the character names in the galleries can give ideas for Champions names. Magnun, Demolidor...good names. Although I have to wonder about the Portuguese name for Plastic Man. I speak zero Portuguese, but I can recognize a cognate when I see one. Wouldn't "Homem Borracha" mean something like "Drunk Man"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Very nice, but the link didn't work for me. I found it here: http://www.iniciative.com.br/edu/heroomatic/index.html I take it that it's a work in progress, since two of the five models they have on the front page don't show up as selections.

gmurie Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I do have to wonder how "Please sue the crap out of me." translates into Portuguese. I'm just remembering the flap over dupes of Marvel characters in City of Heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brionl Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine It does look extremely impressive. It also looks like Copyright infrigement threatening letter incoming. It's too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legatus Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine I did a villainess from Krypton: Superia! Lately she inhaled some dust of Kryptonite; now her lungs are poised and she is slowly dying. She is very desperate and in search of a cure.

Kenn Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine Got the Heromatic website to come through semi-readable through http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr finally. Some of the translated hero names are amusing. Dr. Destination = Dr. Fate, Golden Gladiator = Booster Gold, Man Rubber = Plastic Man, Man of Iron, Man Spider, Demolisher = Daredevil, Giant = Giant Man, Mercury = Quicksilver, Hulk Woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also looks like Copyright infrigement threatening letter incoming. It's too bad. You can almost feel the lightning about to strike! In the meantime, I'm copying the galleries. Interesting that J'onn came out teal instead of green. Also interesting that Hawkman has been renamed Gavião Negro, which I believe would translate as Black Hawk. Now I'm going to be looking for a connection between the Golden Age Hawkman and the Blackhawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
