Anyhow, what do you guys think of Mara's face? Some feedback there would be great.


Well, everybody has a different image of Mara in their mind and to me she will always look like the Mara portrayed on the Japanese cover art: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5390/japaneseofmara7ku.jpg . My favorite image is the one on the upper right handside.

But with that said, I think your image is very accurate to how she is described in the profics. She has Redish gold hair, light skin with some light freckles, athletic and good looking. I don't think you are going to have the members of the Mara Jade Skywalker Fan Club coming down on you for this rendering. It is a very nice and flattering portrayal of our favorite Imperial Assassin.

Now throw a nekkid Luke next to her and you will have a ton of Luke-Loving fangirls running to your thread. wink

My sons loved your Mara rendering, but they said she should have a blue lightsaber. Don't listen to them, they are only 6 and 5 years old. They haven't read the newest books. I am pretty sure she is using a purple lightsaber in The Unseen Queen.

I used a very similar collage of these images to base my render on. Look! In the upper left corner! It's the outfit I used! More and more I wish I had given Mara gloves, but I wanted to see her hands.

Glad to hear it. Maybe I'll fire off another render set with a blue lightsaber, just for them wink . One of the things that frustrates me so much with the Star Wars literature is that they seldom mention the colors of people's lightsaber blades, especially for characters whose lightsabers are often replaced (with or without reason). I am not sure what color Mara Jade Skywalker has "currently" in the post-NJO era, but it is known that she had a purple lightsaber during at least one point in time, and that's my favorite colored lightsaber for her.

that sort of sabre problem doesnt matter with general grevious. he has hundreds of different lightsabers! anywho, giolon, do you think with your force powered rendering skills, you could make an animation of Daru dancing, hummm? Leia slave outfit on and dance the special twi'lek dance!

Hey Giolon--I finally got everything to download (I'm in a rural area and restricted to dial-up, so it takes forever for image-heavy pages to download...) and got a look at your rendering of Mara. Very, very nice! I like the face a lot--she has a sort of dispassionate expression, as I would imagine her to wear most of the time. In the portrait piece, her right arm seems a bit "plastic," sort of like a doll that's had its straight arm bent forcibly...I'm not sure if that's the way the program works or just a lack of muscle definition (I've always sort of pictured Mara Jade to be a pretty "buff" woman, with a lot of muscle definition--not Ms. Olympia or anything, just good shoulders, good biceps and forearms...and please remember--that's my image of her...). If I could make a suggestion on this, it might include "painting in" some more anatomical definition (of muscles, bones, etc.) on her arms. The full-body pose is great--just as I would imagine her (the fisted hand is classic Mara Jade!)--nice proportions and not too large "on top!" Her costume is very nice--and yes, that's a very big lightsaber! Suggestions here might be to scale down the weapon just a bit (don't change it, just make it fit a woman's hand a bit better), and perhaps drop a forest-green background behind her, varying from a lighter color at the top to a darker color at the bottom. The green would really set off that bright amethyst-colored lightsaber blade! All in all, I like these very much! And I love seeing new interpretations of our favorite assassin-turned-Jedi! Well done!

The Mara Jade renders look very nice (as do the Twi'leks, BTW)! I particularly like the second Mara render, just due to the pose.

Hey everybody! I have a couple new images of Mara Jade tonight. I tried to incorporate as much feedback as possible including better eyes, slightly slimmer body, more toning and definition to the arms, and a smaller lightsaber. Thanks for all the great feedback on Mara!

VERY NICE!!!!!

Mara Jade's face is REally pretty, and her hair is fantastic!!! happy *thumbsup*
I think your Twileks are great too, except that being a girl I prefer actual dresses as opposed to bikinis etc. But still very nice! Blue is my favorite color, and I think my favorite face is rena, with Daru being a close second. Nice work! I think the human Daru Christmas pict is beautiful... that dress is unbelievable! Do you mind if I use mara Jade's pict as a profile for a character I want to create on another forum where we have a story going on?

Thanks, everyone! Glad you approve of the changes, AG88! wink

SBD: Your post isn't very descriptive of the problem(s) you're having. I'll PM you to see if I can help figure it out or get some alternative links.

Are people generally having problems reaching my Renderosity hosted images?

Nidrail: Thank you! Feel free to use the images as you wish, just please be sure to point out where you got them from if you get asked. happy As for bikini's vs. dresses, well in partial defense, you know how those Twi'leks dress. Modesty is not one of their stronger qualities. wink

LOL!! I do know what you mean, and I thought your aayla inspired outfit was really cool. happy
Actually the daru christmas one, i may even sew that dress for a doll I have. happy Nice outfit!
Thank you, and if anyone asks I will most definately point them this way!

By the way I'm not having trouble reaching the pictures, all except the hi res versions of like mara jade and the others, they never show up hi res. But the 'full image' link always works!

Merry Christmas!

Giolon is using Poser. I am pretty sure he is utilizing Poser 6.0. It is a great program and is not that expensive. You can get them at a reduced price through many academic sites if you are a student or teacher. DAZ also has a watered down free version available online.

Thanks for the compliments SBD and FloppyMan! AG88 is right, I do use Poser 6.0 for all my images. Quite a fun program!

I've been working on non-SW renders lately, but I've still got a render for princess_melissa that I'm working on and some more Twi'lek ideas are brewing in my head.
