More work on the vampire. Went in and darkened the background significantly, but still feeling I'm missing something. Might go in with some blue and stipple/dry brush in some more texture back there? I dunno. Thoughts? #wip #minipainting #nerdlings #warhammer

What jumps out to me about the lighting is that the mini doesn't have any light regions like the BG does. I think it'll look a bit wrong unless/until you do that Also that shadow on the left with the silhouette of the sword? That is nuts. So cool

Hrm. That might be an original sin of my initial reference. In theory, her armor leggings would be the same color as the chestplate were they not in shadow.

It might be a matter of cold light on a warm coloured model. All those reds and the yellow of the hair look like warm tones in the photo? Unless you're going for a yellow moonlight?

I like how the background came out. It looks proberly dark now. The vampire themselves is feeling a bit out of place lighting wise. I feel like the left/backside needs to be way darker. Especially since your background now gives a good sense of light direction with the window light.
