Sweet! Interesting toes, too.

What did you end up using for your light settings on the blade? I had a hell of a time getting the glare to stay on the blade and not transfer to the little lights (set as glossy and not an actual light oddly enough).

For the Sabers, I just make changes in Reality, convert to light, make it it's own light group, change to RGB, pick a color.  (in the above its purple, 124,0,249).  Then render, and in Lux...I turn it down to like 0.1 - 0.2 Gain, turn up main light to 10 gain, then estimate settings in Tone Mapping, and tweak.  (not sure if that is bad practice or not, but it seems to work)  Then I turn on the Glare under lens effect, 24 blades, 0.004/0.02/0.8 for amount/radius/threshhold...then tweak those.

The fingers are interesting too, but you can't see them as much.  Also on the pose the face is a little combination of Alien and Goat...LOL! (Big eyes, longer face)
