It's coming from the Sunset…course! So had to re-paint the ghost-tiki first.. Now going through everything and making sure things work with that in mind. I was looking at Tim Hildebrandt's art book and theta very important fact hit me today. To sell any kinda realistic lighting idea you gotta figure out the light source for everything. One slight source should make it more dramatic, so even better. Sure I use a cool fill for the shadows, but the hot sunset out the window HAS to be the light. more laters!
