this pic doenst have smoothed out lighting, it looks like dirt. you fail at really exploring the spectrum of lighting values. Im not saying that you should have pure white in the hilights, Im saying add more contrast, just look at your avatar and compare the lighting to your pic. I also think it'd help for you to not be so defensive with critique and avoid personal attacks against those trying to give you some good advice on a pic you posted FOR critique.
also the shiny smooth look on my skins is called style, it has nothing to do with adding additional lighting, its how i did it. |
