But seriously i'm really interested in who does the logo artwork cause it rocks!!! :)

[truth]

It's an orginal Kyrie warrior illustrated by Cupid's Art. This way there are no worries with copyright issues.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Truth, do you have a big image of the full illustration? I'd love to see it up close!

[AgentX-127]

I think he is pretty cool on the home page...

But...
I hope you can make a few tweaks to the scaled down version on the top of the index page.

The cleft in the chin looks like teeth in the scaled down version to me,
making him look like a crazy evil bug dude, not a Kyrie Hero. The area of the helmet around his eyes looks like bug eyes.

And the wings just about disappear against the white background.

But really, I like it a lot, and thanks for taking the time to make the custom artwork!

[daevablacc]

Ahhh... I was wondering who the hell he was. :) He did kinda remind me of Harvey Birdman.

[CupidsArt]

HARVEY BIRDMAN!?!?!?!?! :lol: I hadn't thought of that, nice. It does get lost a little, but really it does look nice, oh wait did I just toot my own?, :D

[hextr1p]

HARVEY BIRDMAN!?!?!?!?! :lol: I hadn't thought of that, nice. It does get lost a little, but really it does look nice, oh wait did I just toot my own?, :D

Well obviously someone was going to find something ridiculous to compare the Kyrie to. So now that we've gotten that out of the way...

CupidsArt once again does an amazing job!! You've know idea how happy I am with this image, and CA has true reason to sing as much of his own praise as possible. :D

This illustration is actually going to be used for an upcoming GenCon shirt for HouseMouseGames.com Heroscape tournament. Sandra asked me to put something together, and I immediately thought of going to CA for assistance in the project. It took me a while to come up with some sort of a rough concept. But I finally did.

This image, pieced together in about 10 minutes with different images in Photoshop, is what I sent him...

http://www.heroscapers.com/oldgallery/albums/userpics/10027/normal_shirt1.jpg

... and he more than achieved what I wanted with his final illustration. Even the colors are spot on! And the helmet is an actual viking helmet, by the way.

I've already thanked him a lot for his work, but I am going to thank him again.

THANK YOU, CUPIDSART!! It's so easy to be an art director of sorts with talent like his.

[ultradoug]

wow cool!

Yes I plan on changing him here in the forums page... I'm just waiting on some assistance on that front. It's difficult because he needs to be large enough to see detail but he can't be pushing the forums down on the page and be creating a bunch of white space.

Also be looking for this illustration on a set of buttons that can be purchased to help support the site.

[Mr. Underhill]

And the helmet is an actual viking helmet, by the way..

I concur. I rummaged around in my library and pulled out a book by Wise & Embleton - "Saxon, Viking and Norman". See the illustration below:

Hmmm... I'm wondering. Should I offer more than one kind of T-Shirt. I mean for things like Gen-Con it would be nice if everyone had the same as to easily recognize. But I know some guys won't wear white T-Shirts and so an understated black like this might be nice too.

Legacy members from HQ.com may see a lot of the never used HQ.com logo in this new 'Scapers.com logo. That's because it's the same logo with some minor tweakings.

The HQ logo never saw the light of day, and seeing as how people liked how it looked, I thought I'd redesign it with the 'Scapers.com theme!

Not to be a spoilsport, but somewhere in the back of my brain there's a little alarm going off in response to truth using the word "store."

IIRC, isn't that one of the factors that killed .net? You can't start selling things that use copyrighted material, can you? Even if the character is original, the term "heroscape" is copyrighted.

All I know is that truth called the site "heroscapers.com" because heroscapers is a word that he made up that is not copyrighted, at least not to anyone's knowledge. Assuming this is true, I don't know why there would be a copyright issue with selling anything with that word or CA's and hextr1ps' original art on it.

Love the work being done on the site!

As a long-time HS fan, though, I'm having trouble identifying the character now pictured on the front page. It was clearly Thorgrim before; now it's not an obvious official HS character.

Not that it has to be. But I'm curious...can someone please shed some light on this guys identity?

Assuming this is true, I don't know why there would be a copyright issue with selling anything with that word or CA's and hextr1ps' original art on it.

Heroscapers.com is made up sure. But the term Heroscape is a registered trademark.

A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.

And in reference to how much you can change someone else's work in order to claim copyright (or I suppose at least not breach copyright)...

Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare, or to authorize someone else to create, a new version of that work. Accordingly, you cannot claim copyright to another's work, no matter how much you change it, unless you have the owner's consent. See Circular 14, Copyright Registration for Derivative Works.

If anyone is at all concerned about copyright issues, they should approach the copyright holder (assuming that it's Hasbro or MB), and ask for permission. The worst they could say is "no".

Besides, the owner of the registered trademark may enjoy having more exposure for their product - is it not their primary motivation to sell units?


Well, that's my 1.4837cents worth (according to the latest exchange rates)

But couldn't Hasbro argue that the word "Heroscapers" contains and is clearly based off of the word "Heroscape?" Just as I could not call my company "Microsofters" or "BurgerKingers" and get away with it. I just worry that selling shirts is pushing the boundaries. I think Truth could maybe print out iron-on transfers of the logo as long as he didn't sell them....

[Su_Nan]

What I really want to see is this guy made into an official unit or something. Maybe someone can send an email entitled "Please, Please, Please, Please make this guy into an official unit."

[bunjee]

The phrase needed here is

Fair Use (http://www.publaw.com/fairusetrade.html) (not the best link, but good enough)

All the proposed uses of the heroscapers items here fall into that category.

One of the problems with .net was probably that Craig and Rob's participation could have been construed as sponsorship by Hasbro and thus diluting their trademark.

The heroscapers logo and the original artwork mascot are not something that would be confused with an official Hasbro product.

Additionally, if the mascot became an official unit, we would have to stop using it. I truly hope they don't make it official.

But I certainly hope someone is up to sculpting a fig that we can make into a custom unit!

[ultradoug]

I named him Tori Hito - orgianly this is Tori No Hito , "Guy of wing"
Japanse rulls, and yes I have this unit on the minituregeek's contest deal.

[Mr. Underhill]

Name:
Atropos

What does it mean:
It was Atropos who chose the mechanism of death and ended the life of each mortal by cutting their life's thread.
Sure Atropos was a chick, and one of the three fates, but I'm just mesmerised by the concept. Ho hum.

Great artwork. Top show, old chap!

Additionally, if the mascot became an official unit, we would have to stop using it. I truly hope they don't make it official. I'd like to hope that, for the artists benefit, it did become an official piece! That'd rock! Fame, fortune, hot chicks :P

Also, I suppose (technically speaking) you couldn't even use the term Kyrie in the Heroscaping context. Although kyrie is a greek term for "O Lord", according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyrie).

I believe if the mascot is turned into an actual figure/custom he should have an abilty like this.

UNITY UNDER FIRE
Instead of moving and once per round you may
place "X" adjacent to any Friendly Hero figure
within 7 clear sight spaces, that has 1 remaining
life. That hero must also be engaged with at
least one enemy unit. If there are no clear
spaces adjacent to the chosen Hero,
Unity Under Fire may not be used on that Hero.

How about Ashe?

This site represents the 2nd time that our community has risen from ashes to be reborn. It's simple, it has meaning, and it's the sort of name that you'd give a strong, silent character.


Well how about a play on the word Phoenix and hex

Phoenhecks?

[Grungebob]

*sheepishly gives in to temptation and sneaks back into the thread*...Pheronix?

[ninthdoc]

Phoenhex?

[CupidsArt]

Phoenhex? Phoenhex, Phoenhecks it's all the same.

Well that's the best I can come up with, besides Graywing or Goldwing, that's about it, :)

[Revdyer]

Whatever the name turns out to be, I love the first word in the first ability description, "whever," which is good for either "wherever" or "whenever" or "whoever" or eve for "whomever," just about any of those darn "whever" words. It's a handy neologism to have.

[lilwis]

I think we should call it LaShanda or Fred.

Come on nobody likes hero?? It's classy, simple, It will be fun to have his little head with a speech bubble saying: Hero says: Get your 'scaper gear now! It's also a nice little call back to our roots.

[Bannister]

[AgentX-127]

I actually like the suggestion of "Hero"
(partly to honor the original Hero of the .net fame.)
but it is too generic, of course.

Someting about his costume reminds me of Prince Valiant.


So then I thought,

how about "Prince Hero"

:?:

[ninthdoc]

If we called him Hero, I'd want a dialogue balloon coming from his head calling us all "fuctards" or "ungrateful whorebacths".

[Bannister]

We could combine ninthdocs idea and this idea and it could be:

"The figure formally knows and Prince Hero"? How 'bout it?

:D

Bannister

PS. I don't mind "Hero", I just think we should keep "Little Hero" out of it.

[truth]

That helmet and chin is not helping where this is headed either.

[CupidsArt]

OOH, How about Doht Nett? :lol:

I do like Hero now that I've read it a few times.

[Revdyer]

Benny! Benny! Benny! It's classic. It's cool. It's even kewl! Benny! When he speaks, it is (for the Latin and classical lovers) Benny Diction! and for the Beavis and Butthead crowd, it's "Benny Dic-tion!"

I've updated my 'Scaper card.

Look if Reaper Games can name their succubus mascot "Sophie", ours should soooooo be Benny!

"fuctards"

Is that your own coinage, or borrowed from someone else? I love it. I probably can't use it from the pulpit, but I love it, nonetheless.

I love it! Or, could it possibly be "remove one portion of your opponents' prefrontal lobe"???

I think Lilnewbie was the first one on the site to use it, back when HQ first started. Me and Agent Carr have been using it for the last 2 years, I think we heard it on a Spike Lee film.

Yes, definitely not for church use.

The admin on hs.net, the Heroscape forum 2 sites ago, was hero. He posts here from time to time. That's the reference to hero that the others are making. hero was known to use the term "fuctard" from time to time. It comes from combining the 2 words that you probably have already figured out.

hero also gave a special title to cbs42 once that referred to him as being an ungrateful whorebath. That was what I was referring to.

I think it's subtle enough that it works well, and it helps tie into the site a little more.

I didn't say it needed to look official, just stating my opinion that I am not a big fan of cards that don't look like they belong on the table with the rest of the cards. I am sure there are others who would agree with that too :P

[shakey_snake]

Well, a light watermark covered in text won't make it look that alien.

A guy with a tagret-able sword or a Kyrie with target-able wings or a guy with 4 powers might, though. :P

How about Scapernius, My helicopter used to be named the fuzz buzzard, how about that :lol:

Okay, obviously "Benny" fell flat. Revdyer might have been on to something w/"Bob". The Birdman of Alcatraz's name was Robert Stroud.

If not Benny or Bob, Stroud?

Why am I Mr. Pink?

Why can't we pick out our own

JOE
I tried that once, it don't work.
You get four guys fighting over
who's gonna be Mr. Black. Since
nobody knows anybody else, nobody
wants to back down. So forget it,
I pick. Be thankful you're not
Mr. Yellow.

MR. BROWN
Yeah, but Mr. Brown? That's too
close to Mr. ****.

Everybody laughs.

MR. PINK
Yeah, Mr. Pink sounds like Mr.
*****. Tell you what, let me be
Mr. Purple. That sounds good to
me, I'm Mr. Purple.

You're not Mr. Purple, somebody
from another job's Mr. Purple.
You're Mr. Pink.

MR. WHITE
Who cares what your name is? Who
cares if you're Mr. Pink, Mr.
Purple, Mr. *****, Mr. ****...

MR. PINK
Oh that's really easy for you to
say, you're Mr. White. You gotta
cool-sounding name. So tell me,
Mr. White, if you think "Mr. Pink"
is no big deal, you wanna trade?

JOE
Nobody's trading with anybody!
Look, this ain't a goddamn ****in
city counsel meeting! Listen up
Mr. Pink. We got two ways here,
my way or the highway. And you
can go down either of 'em. So
what's it gonna be, Mr. Pink?

MR. PINK

Hexter?

[Revdyer]

Bullfinch's The Age of Fablesays, "Heimdallis the watchman of the gods, and is therefore placed on the borders of heaven to prevent the giants from forcing their way over the bridge Bifrost (the rainbow). He requires less sleep than a bird, and sees by night as well as by day a hundred miles around him. So acute is his ear that no sound escapes him, for he can even hear the grass grow and the wool on a sheep's back."

Now, *that* is a great description. I wish the name were better than Heimdall. But we're getting there.

[ninthdoc]

No, no, no, wait!

I love Heimdall!

'truth, please, let's name him Heimdall! It's perfect!

how the hell do you pronouce Heimdall!?

My daughter said "Ruby". I said that probably wouldn't work. "Fudge" was her next suggestion. I think I like that a little more. Say it with me a few times, "Fudge".

when you say Fudge and I look at your avatar it makes me laugh for some reason, it looks like the kind of thing your chick would say, now say it with me FUDGE

[Revdyer]

With a long "i"...Hi-m'dall.

[bunjee]

Poor truth.

I'm sorta in favor of hero myself, but I also realize that is due to my nostalgia. Heimdall does seem like an appropriate name. It would be nice if we could blend or alter it a little so it wasn't quite the same as an actual mythical character. Kind of like Theracus being a being a Gryphillin.

[ninthdoc]

[Agent Minivann]

I had a neighbor that had the surname Heimdall, and they pronounced it with a short I. It was more of a Him'dall. But take that for what it's worth. They could have had their name altered at Ellis Island, or the pronunciation may have been Americanized.

As for the name, I like Heimdall. If that isn't it, I'll go for Bob. Oh, how about Bob Heimdall, the Kyrie Hero. That has a real HS meets 50s comic books vibe.

[ultradoug]

I was giving the German or Old Norse value to the vowels, but a short "i" is quite possible for modern; just wanted to make sure it is not an "e" sound, as it would be in English (the old, "when two vowels go a-walkin', the first one does the talkin'" thing.

Heimdall or Scapernius, someone mentioned that name earlier, oh wait it was me :lol:
