[womball]

I think youcould push the color variation a bit more. But the lighting is fantastic!

[slashpot]

Hey, you really are doing some amazing work! Thanks for the lighting setup, very instructive, and that render is beautiful. I too would love to see where the elf goes, and I'd love to see more of your drawings. I'd also love to see you attack something more 'artistic' if you know what I mean. You clearly have the talent!

:tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[digiegg]

Hey man, I love the lighting images you put up. Simple and very nicely lit.
I was wondering what type of lights you used.
Like I know u used Spotlight for the keylight, but what about the others?
Filllight seems like u used ambient light.
I'm trying to learn lighting myself at the moment =)

[vencys_lao]

caraca véi!!!

Tu mandou muito bem nos modelos!!! Que bão saber que existem brazucas como vc!!!!

Arrazô véi!

Abração
