Wait...Juroden without a helmet? Blasphemy!

[Trixie]

Juroden without a helmet, yum.

You'll never know how ICly and OOCly honored I was when he took off his helmet for her (T'din) in public for the first time.

[Azhra & The Others]

Tears don't help.  It's NOT my fault that Tadin is the antithesis of my aesthetic -- the dreaded blue female twi'lek with girly lekku markings and big boobs.

It's not like the entire passel of other renderers aren't overwhelmed with sweat at the chance to render that sort of subject.  The art forums here are choked with them.

Really, the handful of twi'leks I HAVE rendered are an extreme exception, having been so extraordinary or integral to past stories that I simply couldn't avoid doing them.

Psh I need a Azhra and Juroden in flight gear, With Juroden schooling Azhra on how to murder Imperials IN SPACE!

LOL!  Well, yes, that's highly likely.

[Kos'Ruk]

Damn. Juro looks good.

[Mr. Halcyon]

Juroden looks good cause Juroden is sorta Ugly. Tis why Azhra is my favorite Artist, He looks like a real face as compared to that Square jawed Superman look most other men renders have

Juroden was an irresistible candidate for 3D work because he's weasely, skinny, worn-out looking and generally full of visual character.  The aesthetic of flawless "beauty" repels me because it's kriffin bland and boring to my eye.  I'm inundated with hundreds of media-forced examples of the so-called physical ideal constantly and I find it repellent and ugly in its blandness.  Just like I find all these renders of bimbos and studs in revealing outfits a blend of boring and disgusting... because they're so overdone as to become the opposite of what they're meant to be -- sexy.  They're the opposite of it because it's not titillating or shocking or unexpected.  They're just mostly naked trying too hard to garner applause for a very tired version of supposed daring.  The sexiest images I've seen this year were of fully clothed people with real character to their faces and figures posed naturally rather than in compromising or suggestive postures.

[Mr. Halcyon]

Juroden's Monster Bits and pieces.

[Trixie]

That's why I like T, despite game mechanics, T is not particularly beautiful. She is square jawed, small nosed, and yes, big boobs (hey, art imitates r/l) and her lekku markings change, lol.

She's always been 'plain' except for her long lekku but the game mechanics don't really let me show her the way I see her in my head, lol.

But that is OK Azhra, I never push an artist to do something they are not inspired to do. My husband's an artist so I know what it's like. T is a stereotype, I made her that way on purpose. There are hundreds of renders of her stereotype out there already, lol.

[Azhra & The Others]

LOL!

This is the coolest, most visually interesting 3D figure to come out this year.


Maybe Tadin wants to trade in her lekku and boobs?  She'd be a very cute garden gnome.

These are fabulous, Azhra! I love the "aha!" moment when I look at them and recognize who the characters are.

Also, /smack>Juroden  Let's go do Jedi-ish stuff.  Euuko is pretty badass himself with a lightsaber.

[ӶѦƵΘ]

It really is the mark of an artist when you're able to look at the images and, instead of having to figure out who it is from what clothes the model has been dressed in, to just recognize who it is almost right away. Remarkable.
