@DoubleThink Thanks for the video link, will watch it later. Been looking for a nice guide for lighting ideas on YT but keep finding photo/cinema ones focusing more on the setup and equipment rather than theory and effect of diff. lighting styles.
@meat: thanks will give it a quick try. I feel like my earlier (original post) version kinda nailed the determined/fight! look. Was a bit concerned that it "stared into nowhere" so decided to have it focus on the bracer instead. Will probably try a little mix of both, or just bite the bullet and have him look forward again.
I also somewhat recall something I came across before that mentioned "looking down" and lighting from below were common theater tools to make a character appear sinister. (that and the light being green doesn't help )
