The witch quickly found the child had somehow survived the fall but his eye sight and hearing were impaired from the ocean water. As time went on the witch tried to unlock her child's senses by casting a spell with a crow's feather. His vision improved, he could see details and distances far greater than any human, however during daylight he was blind. His hearing improved so great that he could actually hear others thoughts, however large wings of a crow formed out of his back. He quickly realized this were gifts and uses them to try and find his father. Swearing that he will never abandon anyone who needs help, he spends his time from dusk till dawn fighting thieves and villains who bring corruption to his village.

k, a small update. I think WetHand was right ... my character didnt seem to be much of a superHero (more like a bible story haha) so changed the background story in my original post, I will post new images soon. With this direction its easier to flesh out the character design.

I like the sculpt, but I'm not sure I like it for this character. Standing at nearly 9 heads tall and having a very bulky physique doesn't really say dexterous or capable of flight to me. The muscle layout is great and I think you're looking good if you want to take this character in a powerhouse direction, but it just doesn't seem to jive with your story or concepts. Luckily those changes are fairly easy to make if you should decide to. Anyway, nice model and happy sculpting.

Here's just some rough sketches using the deco brush with standard textures that come with zbrush. I need to brush up on my wing anatomy, but it was fun to quickly paint these in 2.5d.

Thanks for the tip Twitchmonkey. I'll tone back the muscles a bit. Your right... it was getting too powerhouse like. Had a little too much fun with sculpting on the mass.

Liking the wings, here are some of my favorites:

Another winged hero. Fantastic. I love watching people build wings in Zbrush, it's quite hard and something I've not taken on yet! Best of luck!
