did I mess it up too bad?

**forruner_mercy**

I like it. Not to bright, but a muted glow.
Also, this is the wrong section. It should go in the "Showcase" section.

**Horst**

oh, this model isn't done. Has a lot more work needed.

Wheres the light source suppose to be coming from?

supposed to be coming off the halbred.

Not bad, especially for a first try.

Get a little more lighting off center (looks like most of the OSL is too central on the torso), amp up the light intensity, and you're well on your way to a rockin' paint job.

The glow cast on the model looks pretty good, but the overall effect isn't quite right. Focus on proper placement and intensity in relation to the light source, remembering to make sure that source is significantly brighter than the glow it casts. You're definitely on the right track, though.

Hmmm... perhaps its the lack of enough white on the halbred itself?

The source needs to be brighter, and I don't think I used enough white on the upper highlight of the halbred, towards the back. I'll correct that tomorrow.
