I enjoy creating artwork in Poser, Photoshop CC, Vue, and DAZ Studio. I also have a passion for photography, and have been actively shooting for many years. I've been using Poser since Version 8, and am also learning my way around DAZ Studio. I've been using Adobe Photoshop since version 4. I also use Vue 10. I frequently use my photos as backgrounds, and composite my 3D figures into them.
I have been creating my web comic / graphic novel "The Girls From T.N.A." since fall of 2009, and have been a member of Renderosity since August 2009. I've made a lot of wonderful friends here, and have been inspired every time I visit!
I will soon have a more complete biography, as I am updating everything. In the meantime, have a look around my gallery!
Thanks!

Super job for star wars day, was thinking about using Sabres for the G4-orce image I posted but went with guns instead. Hot action pose and terrific light fx on the weapons my friend. Also love the dead drone character and glowing injury.
RodS
Yeah, Ahsoka's bad news for battle droids.. She opens 'em up like sardine cans... ๐
Darkglass
So wish i could have done this.....maybe next year.....love the image and work you've put into it.......first class image....and May The 4th Be With You......just can't help it or help myself.....your either a sci-fi fan or not......!!

Nice work Rod! Love her expression.
Richardphotos
I never watched the series except for one episode. the Enterprise and Star Trek interested me more. your creation is outstanding and she looks very much like a victor in any fight
lwperkins
I love her active pose and the brief bio--she looks like such an interesting character!

Super Render Rod! I have Family Guy Star Wars trilogy (funny!) and I just acquired the last Star Wars move episode 9 Rise of Skywalker. The ending was amazing because it brought me back to the beginning when I first saw Star Wars first showing here in town at a matinee in a half empty theater before most people even knew what Star Wars was in May 1977. I have all the Star Wars and Star Trek movies. I have the Animated Clone Wars first 6 seasons and the Animated Rebels first 4 seasons. I was surprised to see the introduction of Thrawn in Rebels season 3 from the trilogy books of Timothy Zahn introduced in 1991 which I have and read as well. Also, Ahsoka Tano is in her twenties in Rebels, since I have not seen Clone Wars season 7 I assume she is also in her twenties. Anyway it is cool that you have an image of Ahsoka when she is still a teenager. Well done!
RodS
Yeah, I just love her spunk and sassiness - but man, when she gets down to business, look out.
I just saw where I put 3 instead of 4 for the Rebels' seasons... This keyboard can't spell or count! ๐คฃ
Indeed, Thrawn was one seriously badass dude. His intelligence and calm, calculating manner - even studying his adversaries' art - made him extremely dangerous... I'd sure like to know what happened with him and Ezra...

I love her expression and the lighting at the window. This is a cool scene... nice work!
Radar_rad-dude
Roger! Roger! My guys are anxiously awaiting her arrival! LOL! A most happy and campy scene here, Rod! Very good work recreating the most energetic and popular character! Many many fine kudos for your very successful efforts!!!!
Desgar
Yeah! Tin-head didn't have a chance in Heck.
Now, General Grievous. That's a tin of a different color. Ashoka would need her a-game against him...
Need to binge watch Clone Wars somehow one of these days...
RodS
Yeah, Grievous was a whole different can of worms (or Kaleesh) indeed. Even Obi-wan and Anakin together had more than a handful with his tendency to come at you with 4 lightsabers spinning like propellers of death.. I remember her going up against him a time or two - she held her own, but wisely broke off when it got too intense..
Madbat
I've been wanting to pick up the clone wars and rebels series, I have everything else. I haven't watched Rebels though. I don't subscribe to anything that carries it, and netflix Canada doesn't have it. (or much else that's good actually)
goldie
Terrific work on this little package of dynamite :) Really like her light emitting sabres. Hard to believe that Star Wars has been with us for 40 years...when it was announced how many installments there'd be, I remember thinking how outrageous that was, no way...well, here we are, installment after installment. Wish I held up as well as SW has :)
mtdana
Great character and cool render!!!
crender
Absolutely Fantastic !!!
starship64
Fantastic work.
perpetualrevision
Looks like she didn't even break a sweat! Cool render and Star Wars character info!
beachsidelegs
That is awesome a cool image my friend :)
adrie
Another awesome render, superb work on the pose and lighting Rod.
anahata.c
lol, barb/goldie ("I wish I held up as well as SW has"---ditto!!!) (Ya ever see me with a sabre? You wanna laugh???). Several other fans really got into this...Rod, I'm embarrassed anytime SWars comes up, because after seeing the first few movies, I just lost touch with it. Not because of it---it was just me. One of these days I'm gonna sit down for a week and binge on all I've missed.
Man...this image is an eye-blast. I love the light, and how you posed and lit Ashoka Tano. Great 'ready-for-action' pose, love outfit with all the intersecting lines,love the opposite-direction sabres, her fierce look (and not-too-shabby hairdo!), and a robot who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plus, you contrast her super green presence with deep golden reds and yellows (behind her---love that window), and you leave the rest of the image 'open', to let it breathe. (Ok, remember you said that your cloud-crown in your previous image wasn't intentional: Well I agree that it was probably in your inner eye if not your outer eye. Artists like you just know where to put things---I'm totally serious about that, there's a voice in you that thinks, yeah---that's it!" You're second-nature at that stuff.) This cries to be seen full---it has a bangup impact. Knockout job. (And thanks again for your wonderful comments, Rod, I really appreciate what you've written. Many bows of thanks....Hope you and Jo are doing well: Get ATano's sabre goin' on the virus, maybe we'll see an end of this craziness by June...)

Boy, I'm getting out of here with a rude awakening and battered ego. I thought myself a Star Wars fan but I'm not a pimple on your pinky. And when did this May 4th stuff start ?? This is the 1st time I can recall it's celebration and recognition being so ubiquitous. I really need to get out from behind the screen in my lair more often :-/
You really captured her essence and spirit, Rod, and did her justice. Great, great pose and finger work. Those sabres LOOK like they're gripped.
Ave Ahsoka! Morituri te salutant !!
RodS
Thank you, good sir! A labor of love it was.. (jeeze... now I'm talking like Yoda.... I'm hopeless..)
I have seen a lot more "May The 4TH" stuff this year... Probably because we're all sitting inside, banging our heads on the table, and wondering if anything remotely resembling "normal" will ever return.. ๐ค๐
AureliusdeMercoeur
I really like your version of Ashoka! Her pose is excellent and the light is gorgeous! A great work, Rod !!
Leije
Superb lights, excellent evocation of star wars !
g1tip
Very cool ! ! !

SUPER COOOOOL

The final scene of last episode of season five was IMO the finest scene in any Star Wars movie or series. You have to watch closely the expressions on Ahsoka's face. The final words of scene where Anakin looks down and says โ I know what itโs like to want to leave the order" and Ahsoka gives Anakin a sideways look and says โI know". The look on her face and the way says it, and look on Anakin face make me think she meant more than she understood his feeling. BTW Ahsoka was Dave Filoni creation, George Lucas want her killed off by the end of the Clone Wars so there wasnโt any question why she wasnโt in the movie, but Clone Wars was canceled before that could happen.
RodS
That scene just rips your heart out... I was actually tearing up the first time I saw it... The subtle (and at times not so subtle) facial expressions from Ahsoka are soooo well done - Filoni is a genius and his crew are magicians.
Yeah, killing off Ahsoka would be a crime worthy of permanent banishment to Mustafar... Thankfully she reappears in "Rebels' and still lives somewhere out there in that galaxy far, far away..

Very cool fantasy work.๐๐

I can hear the buzzz of the light sabers!! Super image!
STEVIEUKWONDER
She's turned out really well Rod! She's absolutely fit for purpose! Kicking ass and all that good stuff!
TwiztidKidd
May the Force Live Long and Prosper lol The final duel between Luke and Vader is one of my favorite parts from all Star Wars. Fantastic work with the light emitting sabers, Rod! ... " Impressive! "
thekingtut
I hope you had a very nice nerd's High Holy Day? I finally got around to watching Rise Of Skywalker on disney+. It was a lot better than I thought it would be after the letdown of Last Jedi.

Fabulous!
