    Default Action Hero - The Pigeon Lady

    Hey All,

    Gonna see if I can put the time in and get an entry done.

    Name: Matt Berenty
    Entry: The Pigeon Lady

    Backstory:

    Though her name has been forgotten her story remains clear. Once a loving mom from midwest pennslyvania, she was driven mad when her daughter was murdered in central park NYC, her killer never being found. She became convinced that only she could find the killer and carry out the vengence she feels her daughter deserves. Her drive became an obsession as she stalked the park, but to no avail as her daughters killer was gone. Alone in her solitude she was befriended by the pigeons whose feeding had became the one bright spot in her life. Upon learning that there loyalty to her was absolute, she decided to stalk the park preventing the violence with her avian friends so that others would not have to go through what she has. Her years have twisted her though and she fights all crime with the same brutal force. So beware that she does not find you participating in activities she finds offensive or you may find yourself in one sticky situation.

    Look forward to hearing your comments
    Cheers
    Matt

    HAHA! YES! I can totally see her sending her pigeons to swarm and **** all over a bad guy! Would look great as an animation too. I like your pose. Good Luck.

    I really love this entry. She actually looks like a woman who feeds pigeons in a park near me (without the mask!) Can't wait to see more of this.

    I hate pigeons, flying-rats!
    But I love the look on the ladies face and her pose, so determined, so hero-like!

    Hey Guys,

    The holidays are a hardtime to work on this stuff but I've put every spare moment I've had. I'll be able to comment more on everyone else stuff more in the coming weeks but for now just enough time to update. Thanks for all your comments past and future.

    I'll state now that I've used an imported basemesh which I created a long time ago based off one of those gnomon DVDs(though I do want to state that it is a mesh that I made myself). With time constraints it was easier for me.

    I've done the base bodymass blocking. Then I went ahead and used transpose to pose her I'm about 80% on the pose right now so all comments are definitely welcome. Her balance may be a bit off and I'll touch it up some in the morning. As the hands hadn't been fully blocked yet I've left those unposed for the moment but will take care of those when I do my final tweaks.

    Cheers and I hope all had a merry christmas,
    Matt
