Action Hero - War Eagle

[electricCAT]

by John Rose

War Eagle was once a legendary hunter and warrior among the many tribes of the northern plains. Now rejected by the nations for his fierce and relentless style of fighting, War Eagle was banished from his tribe. Several fellow indians left with him to the Big Horn mountains of Wyoming. It was here that he met a man named Sirus37-1511.
Sirus knew of War Eagle's achievements and reputation and offered him a position on his team of super high-tech warriors. The team was called the Eternal Army and each warrior had a unique powers. Sirus told War Eagle that they were going to change the world. Unfortunately War Eagle didn't ask how it would come to be or what expense.
As a member of this elite team, War Eagle received a special suit, custom tailored that enhanced his fighting abilities. The suit's material bonded to War Eagle's epidermis layer and acts as a thermal insulator, maintaining his skin temperature at a constant 78 degrees Fahrenheit. The suit sends out a sonic beacon to summon or warn animals within miles of his location. The silver strip along his arm and back extends retractable metal wings (Sharp as a razor yet light as a feather). Heightened senses such as smell, sight, and hearing miles away.
After the team disbanded he followed his own path and found himself in unfamiliar territory defending the innocent and helpless. Recently he modified his suit to with traditional indian symbols, coverings and jewelry. He is often seen running with a pack of wolves with eagles above him.


Primary Powers:
Ability to fly with his metallic wings.
Communicate with animals.
Heightened sense of smell, hearing and sight.(up to 5 miles)
Resistant to environmental changes.

Weakness: His suit is solar powered so during cloudy days it functions at 50% capacity and at night it basically useless except for keeping his body temperature consistent.

Oh, yeah! I really love the Native American theme here. Great suit design and interesting story.

Don't know why, but he reminds me just a little bit of Hawk from the Buck Rogers series waaaaaayy back in the day.

I'm not very good with Zspheres so I produced something simple enough to edit. Got the base mesh out of Maya and into Z.

Thanks to all who have commented on my idea. I'm fairly new to this program so it will be interesting to see well I can pull this off.
Here is my rough blocking stage.

I love the suit design. It's going to be fun seeing how this turns out. Are you going to do the wings and head dress as subtools or are you going to pull them from the base?
