A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

This is an NPC team from one of the earliest campaigns I played in. Our group had kind of a love/hate relationship with these folks. Mostly love. Or maybe it was lust. :love: Anyway, let me present

 

The Liberty Belles

 

 

Rampage: Rampage, the group's leader, is a radical feminist. She is trained hand-to-hand combatant and is an expert with most types of military hardware. She wears a standard military flak suit and carries a large variety of military weaponry. She changes weapons from battle to battle, but a machine gun and grenades are her usual favorites.

 

Sprite: Sprite is a fairy from a dimension where magic is predominant. She can fly and is able to shrink to a size of six inches. She is normally just under five feet tall. She uses a magic bow and a bag of magical 'pixie dust' as weapons. The bow shoots magical arrows, while the dust has a number of different magical effects.

 

Silverlocke: Silverlocke is a sorceress. She is able to cast spells for a number of different effects. The limits of her magical abilities are unknown, although she has proven capable of stunning the villain Blackstar with a mystic blast while still maintaining a protective field around herself.

 

Scarlet: Scarlet is a brick, with strength comparable to that of Ogre or Powerhouse. She is also superhumanly fast, much faster than most other people with comparable strength. Her speed rivals that of Seeker, the martial artist of the Champions. The source of her powers is unknown, although she is known not to be a mutant.

 

Ashe: Ashe is the Belles' hand-to-hand specialist. Her weapon of choice is a wooden quarterstaff treated with special polymers that make it nearly indestructible. Ashe is also a mutant with the ability to project flame from any large piece of wood without consuming the wood in the process.

It's enough to make a guy want to take up a life of crime, just so these ladies can be the ones to bring him in....

So why did Doc Sonic get a sex change? Increased gender balance for publication?

 

Yup. The truth is that all of our players were guys. We had the occasional sister or girlfriend join us for a game now and then, but never with characters that became a regular part of the team.

 

I'd do a lot of things differently today if rewriting the team for publication, including better gender balance, substituting a couple of characters, reworking some of the backgrounds to add complexity and consistency, etc.

 

But we're deviating a long way from the simple fun of this costume design tool. :D

Since I based

Cosmo:

of the League of Villainy on Characters from the Fairly Odd Parents, I decided that the REAL reason he's not as much trouble as he might be is that his wife Wanda constantly counters his evilness (which in reality isn't evil, but stupid impulsivity) with her intelligence and ability to wrap him around her finger. Thus I present:

Wanda Woman!

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

This is a very cool tool. This is my first try using it, two different takes on Hellboy - one using the Brute template and one using the Super template. I should add that my only experience with Hellboy is the first movie, so if there's something I got wrong that's why ;)

 

I hand-modified the broken horns, and added the goatee since I could find no option for the goatee with the chops.

 

Also my first try posting images; hope this works

When he went rogue' date=' he started dimension-hopping and ended up on this world. The trip fried some of his circuitry, so some of his abilities are unreliable at best.[/quote']

 

Actually he survived an attack from the Doc, and his Dim hopping was his escape. That is what fried most of his circuits... IIRC.

Great work on Hellboy, phookz! :thumbup:

 

As to my contribution for today, I think these folks don't need any introduction.

 

Nicely done. Now, if you REALLY want to impress me, do one for Babylon 5.

 

Of course, that would be a mammoth undertaking just due to the size of the cast. If we look at just the regulars, the 'main players', so to speak, it looks something like this:

 

Cdr. Jeffrey Sinclair

Capt. John Sheridan

Cdr. Susan Ivanova

CWO Michael Garibaldi

Dr. Stephen Franklin

Chief Zack Allen

Ambassador Delenn

Lennier, her aide

Ambassador Londo Mollari

Vir Cotto, his aide

Ambassador G'Kar

Ambassador Kosh

Ranger Marcus Cole

Lyta Alexander

Mr. Morden

Psi-Cop Alfred Bester

 

So we're looking at 16 main cast members, many of which would require significant modifications from the Fábrica de Heróis templates. And that's not even counting the second stringers, some of whom would be:

 

Capt. Elizabeth Lochley

Lt. Cdr. Laurel Takeshima

Dr. Benjamin Kyle

Lt. Warren Keffer

Lt. David Corwin

Na'Toth, G'Kar's aide

Ta'Lon, G'Kar's successor as ambassador

Talia Winters

Lord Refa of the Centauri

Emperor Cartagia of the Centauri

Lorien, First of the First Ones

William Edgars

Lise Hampton Edgars Garibaldi

Number One/Tessa Holloran of the Mars Resistance

Neroon of the Minbari Warrior Caste

President Morgan Clark

Catherine Sakai

Draal

Zathras

 

So, what do you say? :D

So, what do you say? :D

I don't know if the program can get the B5 uniforms quite right. I can approximate them, I suppose, but they wouldn't look quite right. Plus, my Photoshop skills aren't all that good.

 

Maybe, I'll get around to them, since I actually like B5 better than Star Trek. But it will be a while.

 

I did post a bunch of generic sci-fi characters wearing uniforms similar to the B5 ones.

Re: A DC Animated-style HeroMachine

 

After updating the User Guide, I figured I'd finally take a crack at doing something nifty with the ol' Hero Criar. For my first attempt, I thought you guys might appreciate something old school, so I decided to take a stab at my favorite villain group from the old Enemies days. Hopefully the results aren't too bad. :)

Maybe you could do something easier, like DS9. Those Bajoran nose ridges have got to be a little tricky, though. And as for me, I have NO Photoshop skills. So don't feel too bad about it.

These guys look GREAT! I owe you Rep for this one.

You are so kind. A lesser man would have told him to read the books,

or right click the pics to see the file names

 

Deathstroke! From left to right: Death Singer, Frost,

Stinger, Arrowhead, and Death Commando.

 

Kindness rep for Theron
