Action Hero - Gorgonna

Gorgonna's bio-blurb:

Crippled during an attack on her lab by super-powered villians, the brilliant neuroscientist Norina Nassos sought revenge the best way she knew how: by becoming a cybernetically-powered hero. Using state-of-the-art implants of her own design, Norina transformed herself into Gorgonna, a real-life "Gorgon" fashioned after the protective deities of Greek mythology. Swapping the Gorgon's trademark head full of snakes for a vast array of sensor devices, Gorgonna's built-in tactical computer constantly feeds her detailed information on her surroundings while simultaneously tracking and predicting the motions of all hostile targets within range. The tactical computer also links directly to her nervous system, improving aim and reaction times enormously. Her arsenal consists of a high-powered bow and a wide variety of specially-tipped arrows suited to most any combat situation. To replace the legs she lost in that fateful attack, she designed a powerful snake-like tail equipped with an electric 'stinger' and additional sensors (vibration and heat) which augment her tactical computer's input. To top everything off, she implanted a powerful strobing flash in the forehead of her mask to blind opponents during battle, giving her a modern equivalent of the Gorgon's 'stony' gaze.



No, those aren't her boobies sticking out... those are metal cups. ;P I'll probably change her armor so that it looks more sci-fi.


Good luck all!

Wow,,,I like the articulate joints you designed on her....Very interesting and unique.. I look forward to this progression.

Made a few generic sculpts without ref just to get started.

I also recorded the sessions as zscripts so I could play them back to record them as movies. I learned two important things:

1. Zscripts don't always seem to record when you go back up to a higher subdivision level, and...

2. Always duplicate your folder with your saved files before running your zscripts because they will overwrite your files while they play!

I had to manually stick in a higher subdivision command to get my model back, hehe...

Anyways, I needed the practice for figuring out how to upload things to YouTube which I'd never done so I embedded them below.



And some play with the helmet:

Thanks, SolidSnakexxx! I might go with a more snake-like tail though.
