Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a rendering of a deity with an illuminated crystal body. The light has to look like it is brilliant and white and streaming through it from inside, from its core. The light source could potentially be behind the figure if it creates the illusion of light coming from within it.

I have tried using an emitting disc behind the figure, and an emitting sphere, but I am struggling to create the effect of light coming from within streaming out...

If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate the help!

here are a few images of what I have so far:
