Nighthawk (Close Up)
I've loved this character ever since he first showed up in Supreme Power. The battle with Nighthawk, Hyperion and Blur against the serial killer Redstone was crazy. Great stuff.
Recently, I was a big fan of the Squadron Supreme title, and I'm an even bigger fan of the solo Nighthawk series with the social and political stories. Plus, those Cowan/Sienkiewicz covers are killer!
This piece was created in Daz Studio and Blender.
Nighthawk out on the prowl in Chicago.
Just like on his old Earth, Nighthawk takes up residence in Chicago and starts fighting crime, corruption, and whatever else comes his way. In a harsh world, Nighthawk's method are brutal, and sometimes, final.
Just the mask itself. I had to do a separate render on this to get the lighting I wanted.
Playing around with the textures and background lighting. I was smack in the middle of it and nothing was looking right.
The ambient occlusion pass rendered out separately.
The whole scene set up in Blender.
