One of the kids who couldn't figure out how to screenshot it (can't use Mac....) So here are the instructions to view it.

There it is!

I chose the Monster as my character to make. I realize this may seem the easiest course, but I wanted to use this opportunity to see what my vision of the monster would come out as. As it turns out he is mostly various shades of gray. Most of the colors seemed to not fit to me, so I ended up using the various shades of gray to articulate him as a character. His skin tone is a dark green, but that is only to set up a contrast to his environment, which is also made up of gray tones. I purposefully left off all hair too, as I never envisioned the Monster having hair. The HeroMachine really gave a lot of options, but the almost lack of anything to him, and the starkness of his features and the surrounding environment, pretty much summed up how I felt about his character.
