I worked on this for about 7 hours. Artgerm provided the character line art and I provided the paint. :D I do not know if I will win the contest or not because the deadline is today and I hope to see who wins either way. Nevertheless I really enjoyed doing this at the last minute. It has been some time since I posted a complete piece of 2D art, I have been too busy with work. 

Just for fun I made and animated a crude BB8 sprite gif to show my thanks to Lucasfilms for a lifetime of Star Wars!!!

Thank you.

My 4k render. Like my mother told me,

 You build your first house the way you think you want it, learn from the mistakes; sell it and build another one. 

I learned so much about lighting, texturing and rendering with this project.  It took forever, but I now I can move onward to other projects. This is my first real big environment that I composted with render passes. I also used photons, final gather rays, god rays, mia material, and a render farm. The render farm was awesome, and I got to learn Thinkbox Deadline, as well as help other students and productions manage the farm. (I got to be the school’s render wrangler.). I would like to change a few things with this render. However, its time to move on to the next project, I spent enough time on this one. All well worth it.
