Description
Here's part of some commission work I've been doing for Nikeeta, who wanted me to make some images of her Star Wars Galaxies character, Shakir Secur. Her lekku are different than what I usually do but are more in line with the character as she looks on SWG.
Though this character is a musician, podracing is apparently a hobby of hers, so here she is admiring the new paint and polish job on her podracer.
The primary drawback for me in this one was that the podracer model I had doesn't hold up as well at close range, especially some of the engine parts. Despite that, I really like how it came out. The depth of field came out well and I added some grit in places to give it the look of a dusty planet.
All in all this one was fun to do, I pulled out a few tricks and put them together in the same scene for the first time here.
This is also my first post using Kaposer's Xanna magnets instead of Wyrmmaster's. They work well overall. A little less in the way of versatility though definitely more user friendly. It was also fun to play with Posermatic's Suit 004 as well.
Lekku by Keith (Norwatcher), podracer and building from Scifi3d (down lately?), R6 droid in the background by Vanishing Point.

Excellent scene my friend, you always do great with Star Wars characters
A very nice one!
Great render!
Fantastic and beauty compo..bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx
EECK...she's turned green with envy at her new pod paint job ! Very kool Star Wars scene, the lighting, textures and DOF all come together nicely, maybe if the droid was behind Shakir, then our eye would be drawn away from the low-res pod racer, just a suggestion. Very well done Pete ! ~Cheers~
Excellent!
Excellent work! Well done
Fantastic, love the composition and sense of scale!
Sweet paintjob on the racer, cool character and render. Me likes!!
Very nicely done, man. Your environments always come out great.
Fantastic SW character, excellent details, especially the reflections on the hull! :)
Excellent. I didn't know that Twi'leks had the reflexes for pod racing. Nice job. ^_^
Looks great!
The force is strong in this one! ;) Cool concept and render, very colorful- and nice bit of DOF to add to the illusion, great subtle details too- I see an astromech droid's feet in the background!
Cool idea and great image!
I think the character looks great. Did you try the podracers from scifi3d.com They are pretty detailed, even up close.
Great work - I love your character and the cool use of perspective!!
Fantastic render!! (What is it, commission season?!?)
Beautiful work. I particularly admire the depth of field and the reflection on the glossy paint. I want to be you when I grow up. [grin]
Very nicely done and very fitting!
excellent render.... love the character.... :)
Nice one!
Looks great! It really is very true to my character in-game! Now I just have to go yell at my tailor and order a new flightsuit in forest/white to replace my current pink/denim one!
Superbly done!
excellent sci-fi model and pose.....lovely done!
SWG was a great game at one time. I played for 4 years. This a great image.
Great job on this, especially the blended background and ehr reflection in the ship. I know exactly what you mean when you have the perfect prop but up close he polygon count betrays you.
Cool and fun character! Great textures and composition. Beautifully done :)
A wonderful sci-fi-scene!
