So I was noodling around with Hero forge, and created this charming (I think) portrait of infamous striped hyena courtesan, Mistress Jade.
With Hero Forge, one has to settle for "close enough" on many point; Jade's face should have a full black mask, for instance, and her eyelids should be painted purple, and it would be nice if she had a little bit of cheek ruffling.
But those minor quibbles aside, I think the new color "decals" do a wonderful job with her stripes, and with the painting tools, I've created her in a Hollywood pin-up girl pose worthy of the undying devotion of generations of Brigadiers.

Great work, Mistress Jade looks wonderful. I've been having fun with Hero Forge after they put in the decals and stripes. Was working out of town for 2 weeks and found my LG phone could run the program. Was bored in the motel at night so I ran off a bunch of my characters. Just need to get time to work up better text for what is going on
Pretty good, actually; I think you're getting the hang of this!
I understand they are moving new code into production almost every week, tweaking this feature and adding that one. Awesome seems to come one upgrade at a time.

Now to make those 12 inches tall - Jade could take over Barbie's dream house and set up shop ......
That is really impressive, I think you captured everything about her using the HF platform. Nice job!
Is this a youngish Mistress Jade perhaps in her late 20s to middle 30s? She seems to be a bit more slender than I remember her from the comic, although like Koz, I think she's quite attractive as she's portrayed in "Carry On".
Oh! BTW, this is pretty much how I envision my Mrs. Dana Impisi in my story, "There's No Way" (formerly known as "Michael and Amanda")

Yes, this would be a younger version; as Fred described, the "Dorothy Lemur from the first 'Road' picture" version.
While HF does have sliders to increase or decrease body size, I don't think it could make a credible-looking heavyset person.

Oh, okay. Well, I wouldn't consider Mistress Jade to be "heavyset". She's got a more mature body and, yes, she definitely has the Dorothy Lemur look about her.
I just checked, and yes, the body size sliders will permit one to create a fairly stout character. Not sloppy fat with an overhanging belly, but definitely heavyset. I did not see anything for double chins, however. Arms, chest, belly, waist, butt, bosoms, yes.
I saw and I favorited. She actually looks good. (That's something I never thought I'd say about a hyena. LOL.)
As an update to this--Hero Forge now does have a "decal" to make a black mask on an animal character. I tried it on the Jade figure, and the expressiveness of her eyes was greatly diminished. This version looks better, even if it's technically incorrect for a striped hyena.
