Gutter WIP: Lighting Inexperience - norandomrabbits - 06-24-2014
Hello there! I'm a fairly new artist and after finding these forums am incredibly excited. I wanted to challenge myself but now I'm just in a bit of a pickle... The torch lighting in this photo along with the "Endless darkness" feel I'm going for, just isn't working. This is the basic colour of the WIP but I have no idea where to go from here! It is The Gutter from Dark Souls 2.

Hey norandomrabbits! welcome in CD :) aw yeah Dark Souls is sweet game.
This light is quite challenging, I like that your blues on armor already are quite warm but I think they could be even more reddish. Light from fire source is super warm and diminish pretty quickly. The wooden floor is as bright as character head, where the distance from light is few times further. Don't wait with painting fire on torch, paint any indicator of light there, with big brush just to have better idea about the relationship to the environment. Waiting for more updates ~Cheers :)
