Brusting Light

My newest tag (a tag is another name for a signature or a siggy or whatever the heck you want to call it).

I kind of took my time on this tag (took me maybe an hour or an hour and a half), but I didn't have any real vision or goal. I really just did it to keep from becoming rusty. The lighting was extremely difficult because there were like 4 different spots where lighting was needed. I used two c4ds in this tag, but I duplicated the same one a couple of times and morphed them and added effects to make them look a bit different. What bugs me the most in the contrast in color between the hair and the skin. The skin is sort of pale-ish green and the hair is rather orange like autumn leaves. I think I messed up pretty badly on the lighting in front of the render where it's suppose to just clip onto the glasses and create a sort of glare, but I accidentally brushed over it or something. Oh yeah, I used a couple of different white brush strokes to add more light to sparkle to the setting. I could probably analyze this all day but I gotta get to bed pretty soon. It's 12:27 and I have about 1.5-2 hours of tv to watch.


Please feel free to make some comments. I would love to hear to suggestions and feedback.

Very Nice Godfather! I love how people use lighting.. I never could grasp the concept on how to make it look good or even do it for that matter.

lol Actually I'm good at lighting when it comes to just distinguishing what is making something brighter in one place than another or darker somewhere else. I have to work on drawing the different shades of light and creating them in my graphics. It's really just something that you need to practice I think.
