Description
Inspired by menu backgrounds and loading screens from Star Wars: Dark Forces II - Jedi Knight, and Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith.
I wanted to do this type of scene for a long time. I was so captivated by the backgrounds from the aforementioned games. They held so much mystery and wonder for me. Imagining a lone Jedi-in-hiding, constructing a lightsaber from old texts, and guided by knowledge from a Jedi Holocron...
But I was never really able to make anything that really did it for me.
More recently, after playing Jedi: Fallen Order, and watching The Mandalorian (And all the other Star Wars shows) the spark of determination was renewed. Armed with lots of reference pictures, I modeled a Jedi Holocron, some imperial credits, various lightsaber components, a datapad, even a kyber crystal. The lightsaber is based on a custom lightsaber I own, but heavily weathered.
All models were built in Lightwave (which I have since stopped using in favor of Blender) and textured in Substance Painter, and then rendered in Daz Studio (Iray). I even went to the trouble of rigging the holocron so the corners can rotate and float off like they do in Jedi Fallen Order and Clone Wars/Rebels, expecting I'd want to use it for other projects.
