Description


For my 400th image, I wanted something BIG. And it would be difficult to get much bigger than.... I'm sure you've all heard by now that Disney has puchased the rights to the entire Star Wars universe from Lucasarts..... For Four BILLION dollars... That's pretty bloody big! I get excited over a 20-dollar bill... I can't even begin to comprehend 4 billion... There are now 3 additional movies in the planning stages - Episodes 7,8, and 9. A lot of ideas went through the cream cheese that now suffices for my mind, so I had to put a little something together. To paraphrase Grand Moff Tarkin, "You don't know how difficult it was for me to sign the order to put mouse ears on Lord Vader...." I had actually thought about depicting Jar-Jar Binks as the new Chancellor, but I didn't want Alex coming after me with one of those flechette pistols - those things are nasty! Anyway...... Starring as our new Jedi heroes are Ray's very own Cherry and Clay (SidheRoseGraphic's Cherry and Clay available at YURDigital - go get 'em! *waves hand like a Jedi*). I used a couple of NightmareHero's most excellent spaceships, and the 'DeathStar' is simply a Poser ball primative with a shader included in Poser. Starfield background courtesy of NASA. Thanks to pgmeri01 for the astro-droid, and Sam Therapy for the Dalek. Clay's outfit is the 'Batman' armour by IceBoy (shareCG). I found the Star Wars font somewhere out there -in a galaxy not so far far away.... :-P Just Google Star Wars Fonts... Hope you enjoy this bit of fun as much as I enjoyed putting it together! And now, back to working on Page 16 of the T.N.A. saga! And I'd be remiss for not saying a big THANK YOU to all my excellent friends here at Rendo! Your support and encouragement more than anything else has helped me grow as an artist, has helped me through some very difficult times, and is a BIG part of the reason I have 400 images in my gallery. Thank you all so much! You truly do..... ROCK! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Very cool Rod!! Every time I hear the 20th Century theme my mind goes back to sitting in a theater in 1978, when I was 18 (OMG...was it THAT long ago???) and being TOTALLY amazed as that star destroyer came onto the screen, virtually running us over. It was like nothing I had ever seen before and I was blown away...well, that is until Han Solo came onto the screen and then I was REALLY hooked, LOL...doesn't seem it was all that long ago, but as I turned 52 on Oct. 19th of this year, I guess it was that long ago... Love your render and Clay Skywalker is pretty cute my friend!!! "Luke, we're shutting down the power." "Okay, Uncle Owen." Well, guess since they are shutting down the power I had best go... Great render my friend!!

Great work, Rod!!! I have heard that Mickey Mouse is going to play Luke Skywalker and Donald Duck Darth Vader - but it is maybe only rumours? ;o)
