In Blender, I created Hen Solo in 3D, and in another program I added some small effects like a shiny object (orange) with some basic effect and an orange trail. With a couple of lights on top to light it up well (because the sun light in the engine was bugging the shadows).
What I specifically liked was seeing Hen Solo in 3D because he looks like a war machine (well, it doesn’t look exactly like that, but I could call it that).
