Absolutely wonderful! Very creative....draws me right into the room with the characters! Excellent....
excellent.. great lighting in this one 8 ) well done Kaze
Beautiful lighting!!! I love the story too :)
very good...only a few comments...first, the characters do not seem to be sitting on the floor (almost look composited in) try lowering the ambient lignt in the room...second, perhaps it is ust me, but i would think that light that bright would cast a blue hue into the room (not just on the characters near to it).....other than that...very nice!!
Great image and story Shad,A+++
