The lighting effect is good. I am a bit curious if the transition through green is intentional or if it's just because the colours are mixing with the blue ambient light. This makes the whole composition seem a bit surreal and works against the whole impression. My advice would be to break the falloff towards a dark red or pure black before mixing in with the blue ambient light to avoid the green all together.

The effects are there, but I think it's missing dark contrast and some brighter highlights to make it pop💥

I love this model 💖

I also agree with @KID55 that the purples lack some brightess and saturation to get a proper glow from below.

Love the contrasts in this one. Both light-dark and colour contrast👏

I'm not really sold on the smoke/fire, but I think that's an issue with the model itself. I'll probably just leave that part out if I ever paint it up myself.

Have to agree with @KID55 that there is a conflict between the two light sources here. They are well painted, and the lighting from each seems right, so for me it's really just an issue of composition. Might also just be the overall brightness of the photo.

You got the light, now all that's missing are the shadows it creates😉

I like the subtle glow from the cane but the lighting of the rest of the model is a tad to bright to really make it pop. Great work on the textures👍

The small details on the umbrella is breathtaking, hats off to that! The paintjob is smooth, nice and contrasted both on the model and between the model and the base. Did you freehand the flowers or used a stencil? 

Yes, it is freehand, but drawing inspiration from actual kimonos and japanese umbrellas. I'm not really very good at freehand, so I tend to avoid it, but I just had to on this one. Turned out better than expected but not as good as I want it to be😅

Thank you all for the kind words!

Fantastic paint job!  Wonderful attention to detail.  I can't tell what the bloody pineapple slices on the base are supposed to be, though.

Guess I can answer this now 😆

The things on the ground are supposed to be eyes (and a couple of mouths not visible in the photo).

I didn't have much time to take photos, so they got a little out of focus (only have my mobile), but thank you all for nice words and constructive criticism.

I'll be back for the next competition.

This is clearly my favorite entry in the competition so far. Awesome work🤯

This one certainly exceedes your round 1 entry! If I lose to this duel I most certainly won't be upset. May the best wyrdo win

I love the lighting 🙂

Thank you. Think I caught the hue from the fire to come off as quite natural without "cheating" with coloured lamps and actual lighting. Didn't quite make the cut for silver og gold tier, but I'm happy with my own work regardless.

Did you actually set fire to your entry? 🤨
