ahh so i should have introduced some sort of secondary light source so the inside of the figure would feel more dimensional

The bg seems a little closer than it might be, because the value and kore importantly contrast is very similar to the rest of the piece.

Ok so one example with values in yours. The entire figure of tywin melds a little with the background. Also, within, we can't sense depth of his arm holding the glass because it is the same broad value as the rest of the figure

ahh so my value structure was off in that sense that the division of light and shadow wasn't consistent

A good way to think about values is in large general areas, rather than the bits that might vary within

30 Mar 01:39

And values.....

I think the biggest thing really was composition...alex actually said a bit about it, but we kinda screwed the stream

yeah that painting has a bunch of issues i don't like it

30 Mar 01:35

Amit Dutta

I don't think saturation was an issue so much

30 Mar 01:34

Amit Dutta

Need to go more specific for the situation you are trying to depict

30 Mar 01:34

Hobitt

--

should have neutralized the shadows

30 Mar 01:34

Amit Dutta

--

That's what I would do

30 Mar 01:34

Hobitt

--

i did study some stills from blade runner

30 Mar 01:34

Hobitt

--

also that painting had a bit too saturated colours

Did you gather reference for dark offices lit by large screens?

30 Mar 01:33

Amit Dutta

Cinematic studies also are good, for lighting schemes

30 Mar 01:32

Amit Dutta

--

They are great for composition

30 Mar 01:32

Hobitt

yeah cameras are unreliable

Photos do a shit job at lighting
