Bad Dragon double header.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

Wouldn't the light be the interior and the shadows deepen with density, instead (therefore being the higher surfaces)?

Realistically, yes. I started out trying that but because of the physical depth of the details I ended up with a lot of real shadows darkening those inner areas. It looked ok in photos where I was hitting everything with direct light, but when I set them down for normal tabletop light it was too muted.

I feel ya there. That's one of those facets of the hobby that still eludes me as well. 😅 All the same, these are looking great, though!

Finding the balance between realism and theatrics is tough, and I usually end up on the side of theatrics.
