Currently, I am developing my modeling/remodeling skills, and trying to create new skin textures from "scratch." I am also attempting to create images of specific people while doing so. That is not really art I suppose. I am trying for realism in lighting and shading.

 

I have posted a few that I spent considerable time on with lighting and texturing-  look up "End of the Day." It is not perfect-and I asked for suggestions for improvement. I did get some kind responses- but someone else posted a picture of the same ship-with Yannis- with flat lighting- and he appeared to be floating off the deck- and it got buckets of praise. Perhaps mine was too dark?

 My thought was that the flat lighted image-perhaps it was closer to what other newbies could make- and so of more interest to most. That is OK- but I still see few suggestions for improvement.
