Hero Machine


















Thanks to faithful Mythulinity friend, CraigH, I was reminded of Hero Machine. What, you don't know about Hero Machine?

Hero Machine is the ideal software program for people who wish they could create manimal images but couldn't draw a straight line with the aid of a ruler or paint the side of a barn to help themselves. I'm too lazy to learn to draw at this stage and copying images through tracing is too darn time consuming, so Hero Machine is an easy and expedient method for me to make manimals. It is also very useful for creating personal avatars and visual props for your fantasies. Plus, it is just plain fun to use.
And that is, as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing.

And you can wind up with someone along the lines of him:















Or maybe him:















Hero Machine is to fantasy art what bad rap is to music. Any fool (like me) can do it. Try it out. Have some fun and imagine the manimal possibilities.
