It's been a while since I posted because life has been crazy.

I realized that to do what I need to do with the armor, I am going to have to completely retexture it.  That will take some time.

However, I also wanted to work on my overall lighting ideas. I love the Dutch Masters. I wanted to try to modernize the look and somehow cross it with the soft shots of  Silver Screen Hollywood.  Both are rich and soft.  One is sun and earth tone with lush color. The other isn't.

Multiple lights were set, and color balanced.  Post processing was done in GIMP.

Let's show you what I managed and see if you think I pulled it off.
