Post subject:  New character concept / design site
I've just started a new blog dedicated to showing my own G.I. Joe figure concepts and designs. I hope to post new art at least a few times a week. I used a popular online character creator to make the art. It's starting off very basic, but I'd be interested to see what people think:

The first image I added was based on the unproduced 1995 Baroness figure. See it attached here. I've posted a few more since then.

In case folks are still interested, I've got up unproduced 1995 concepts for Ace and Footloose and have since put up an alternate Snake-Eyes looking like the other original 13 Joes, as if he never had his tragic accident.

And later today, I'll be adding one or two more.

Nice, I like that Footloose!
I've used the Hero Creator a few times in the past for fun and thought it would be useful for a future Group Project too. Reminder to myself: suggest that in the GP section....

Yes, the site I use is heromachine.com. They have a new version called HM3, which is supposedly a beta version, but it works well and they add items all the time. It's easy to use, but there's a lot more you can do with it if you spend enough time.

I've used it for years and did well in some of their character creating contests (under a different name :)). I have some older projects I may share even if these newer ones probably look better. Some of their items look rather familiar to superhero fans, and they have a very interesting rifle folks on this site may appreciate. (Shhh!)

Yesterday I put up a "warm weather Snow Job" design. I may have more up later today.

I really dig that warm weather Snow Job.

The latest update is kind of a fun one. Bazooka is obviously wearing a New England Patriots jersey, but I wanted to "correct" it by giving him a shirt that actually matches one or two of the REAL Patriot's uniforms.

I'm afraid that can't happen. Being from Massachusetts, it would be a betrayal to Red Sox fans. Like Cutter.

Post subject:  Redesign your Joe or Cobra in Heromachine
amazingwelkin's post made me check out http://www.heromachine.com/ again, and I realized that we haven't played with that toy for a while.

So here's your Friday Challenge. Pick an Existing Joe or Cobra that is "Your" Joe or Cobra, and give them a complete makeover in the Heromachine.

I'll start with my Modern Raptor:

Not technically a redesign, but I'm just getting the hang of the creator.
