Female Neti Sith (Star Wars)

My very first SWAG art upload! Since this is a finished product and the sample renders I made along the way contain nudity, theres little point of making a blog entry. Instead, I'll just detail the creation process here.

This was a private request by Uron Teff. Normally I don't do requests due to the nature of availability of 3d models that I have, and the limited availability of what's out there, and yet what I have to buy in order to complete the project. That being said, Once I buy it,

Uron was looking for a picture of a Female Neti Jedi / Sith for a new character he was creating, and only had T'ra Saa @ Wookieepedia to go by. He talked to me about the character concept, and it inspired me to try to take on this unique challenge. At the time I was unsure if I'd be able to complete the task, but I was determined nonetheless.

One thing this character was going to offer me was a wide leeway of creative license. From the limited source of reference images, the species lacked a nose, but there was no telling whether or not they had ears. I figured I'd cross that bridge when I come to it. As it turned out, I managed to hunt down and buy some character morphs that'd allow me to make the basic humanoid appearance, with the modifications of removing the nose and ears. Finding what I could use for hair, or what the Neti had for hair was actually plant roots. Neti are a plant based species. This was probably the hardest aspect of the character creation, and I tried a bunch of different resources until I found something I could work with, pose and shape into tentacle like roots. I owe a thanks to KeithM from ShareCG for the free tentacles.

I'd further post the whole process but theres a 4k character limit ;) Guess mine is 6534 count.
