Human

Artifact Weapon: Twin Angels (Air/Lightning)

Origin: Sky Falcon

He was brought up to be a warrior since he was 5yrs old to protect his people from the coming storm. As the Sky tribe could detect opposing forces growing within the air and lightning they wielded, they chose Tao at the age of 20 to be one of the chosen warriors to defend their tribe against the looming darkness. Tao received the honor of becoming the next Sky Falcon, a honor his father had held. To have achieved this goal the Sky Falcon had to be able to defeat his enemies through hand to hand, stealth, and air combat, and control the two scimitars known as the Twin Angels. The tribe believes that speed is the ultimate offence and defence, therefore the use of heavy armor is ignored and is replaced with small armor that has the power of wind embedded in them.

Only a few warriors could control the Twin Angels, as these weapons could produce power that rivaled a hurricane, create sonic winds that could cut through armor like cutting through air. The user could also use these weapons as boomerangs, thus when thrown together they are refered as Twin Angels. To attain the full potential of these weapons without being destroyed in the process is up to the user's potential. Tao has the potential to attain near perfection of these weapons. With his determination to protect his people, he bears the Falcon mask and sets out to calm the storm thats coming.

[BadgerPirate]

I'm adding the cloth, not bad, not bad.

[BadgerPirate]

Creating handles for the back to hold the weapons, and working on the front

[BadgerPirate]

I'm working on this head and these feet.

[BadgerPirate]

The Low Poly is amost done.

[BadgerPirate]

Modeling the weapons. I don't want the weapons to be to whimsical. I'll probably have the swords slightly jagged. I'm starting to uv map because I'm looking forward to the texture and lighting part.

The backside light and texture test

[BadgerPirate]

I'm changing the lighting, and starting to get serious with what information I want to show, I'm going to tone down the Diffuse for this texture while applying the Normal map, removing the Color and adding the Spec map. Then I'll rig it and move my character into a more dynamic or interesting pose.
