I'm calling this done. Did a few variations just for fun. Including a 3D background was NOT working out. Full gallery can be seen here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nQEQzX
Try to include more detail or at least something aesthetically interesting. There is very little variaty in the texture which makes it look very mute. Add some color or something to the map
I may pop along with some of the CA character and concept artists later on (if there is room available). EDIT: Will be there. About 6 of us coming (Including Vick whose already on the list).
This is great. Hope you will find the time to give Threepio his body, makes me sad seeing him body-less :( What's the total time spend on it including modeling?

the first one is fantastic. i picked it up on Play.com recently for £9.99 including shipping. now i need to find somewhere that stocks the artbook. i wants it SO bad!
As a side note, Substance Designer 4.1 (release target Feb/March 2014) will include a new AO baker which will be on par with X-normal quality wise (and much faster :) )
