This one was really fun, I'm trying to work on lighting at the moment, and its starting to pay off I think, I have an awfully long way to go but the journey is the whole idea so its a good thing I'm enjoying myself innit?

oh and Cred to Naruto, for embedding that image of a Kunai forever in my mind

Once again I left my Vector art behind to focus more on defining shape with lighting, I also came up with a neat trick for doing shadows: if, like me you have to keep re-doing them cause they look a bit mongy the first few times. You do all your highlights, ignore where shadows should be, and just highlight the form and then alpha out/in the highlight layer where the shadows are, EASY
