Sometimes I just need to get an idea out of my head. Still a little work to finish off the model, but as I had the carry box sorted and the sun was shining, it was time to test a few locations.

I'm unsure if this is a one-offmodel, or whether more will develop from this.

Well I like it. I'm not sure if the skull itself would benefit from some extra fill, perhaps? Just something to bring out a touch more detail in the shadows... But the location is cracking and the idea is a belter.

Thank Paul, I've actually added contrast locally around the skull - I find that lifting shadows generally reduces detail rather than increasing it. I could try a mini reflector next time. I've done a little more detailing on the model and have a couple of even better locations in mind.
