Stone Fish Man.

Thanks! Stone fish. Good, many Star Wars creatures resemble real animals. Here's clothes for the Jedi. Blender's cloth simulation will do better. Now to adjust textures and details.

That's it. Probably. I see the challenge wants a creature that will be in a bar scene. The Jedi could go into a bar.

Texture Paint: Hexagon (Quirky, I don't recommend Hex for this)
Scorb (Crusher): Modeled from scratch in Hexagon and rigged in Daz (I won't rig anything else until I can do it Blender)
Jedi: Morph modeled from Daz base figure in Hexagon and applied in Daz
Jedi's Clothes: Modeled in Hexagon and applied in Daz
Terrain: Bryce
Saber Ball: Modeled from scratch in Hexagon
Scene assembled in Daz and rendered with Iray

Mr. Jedi needs a name. Suggestions?

I've got too much free time. I should be doing more productive things so this is finished. Did this for my screen background.

Like that last one. Looks like she has a formidable challenge ahead of her.

Here's my twopenny worth:
I dont feel that the image is focused enough. Its like a still from a sequence/movie that would make sense in the context of what has come before but as a stand alone image has too much/not enough information.
The subject is very clear, a fight between the guy in the red tunic and some kind of sabre bot. The female character and the rock monster are static distractions. Perhaps show them in the distance, running to assist, for instance, then they would have a more dynamic part to play in the image.
The heroine should be showing more emotion, it's a life or death struggle after all.
The hero looks interesting but i am distracted by the detail in the mountains behind his head. Maybe blur them a bit to separate the hero from the background or use that detail elsewhere in the image.
In general the image is very flat, some depth of field would help to separate the component parts and enable you to focus viewers attention on the important parts of the picture.
The sabre bot seems not integrated with the picture plane, perhaps it could cast a shadow? Part of bot's cast shadow could replace that little bit of dune in the right foreground, which appear like large dunes rather than close sand.

I would have preferred a more monochrome effect on the entire image. Women less pink, and sky inspired by Mars. No little clouds or some horizontal streaks. Thus, green lasers would be more attractive.

Thanks! Good observations and suggestions. It will be some time before I can work on CG stuff again but early tests looked good.

It needs a story. I'm thinking to change it so the saber ball has red sabers indicating it is a Sith or dark side weapon. I doubt Jedi would use such a weapon of mass destruction. The male could hold a blue or green light saber, showing he is Jedi, in one hand while using the Force to defend vs. the ball. The female could do the same, or be running from the background to help while dodging a herd of the big creatures, or be the enemy.

And a little motion blur for the saber ? To contrast with the static pose of the jedi.

Nice a shadow would add more realism too.

Draise's character animations are inspiring me to learn about it in Blender. No time for a while but I think I'll try the 3 leg creature. Suggestions for what the creature could do? Separate or in context of this Star Wars picture. Physically he can walk, look, bite, and I think the top part of his head could expand/contract like breathing.

I had envisioned the creature as a docile native animal and he, or groups of them, wander around only mildly concerned with the Jedi battle. With the symmetrical "three" design the only way I saw to give it a mouth was to put it underneath. On top, what would it bite with those teeth? I imagined they might feed on the ground spikes. Problem: That looks fine in the still picture. Now imagine an animation of it feeding on a spike or biting a Jedi or prey ... something sticking into the orifice between its legs ... any suggestions for what to do about its mouth?
