Yep, it is brilliant! How do you feel about the difference light works in hand? It is super convincing with the cast shadow on pictures and of course it will be in hand, but does it look funky when you twist the model under light in real life? My impression is that cast shadows sometimes suffer from the same ‘flaws’ as NMM. Fantastic work!
Thanks Jakob!! That’s pretty good question, had same concern when I started and decided to take the path of « realistic » vision, meaning trying to paint all casted shadows rather than limiting to those that artistically would have been already meaningful for the directionality of the light. Yet I think it turned out to be a good choice as even with artificial/natural lights « interfering, you can see the consistency of the painted ones when turning the piece. On one side I would say I would never do it again on a subject with so many tiny details casting their own shadows and at same time I think that’s the key that enhance the perception when turning the piece…
In my very humble opinion a little bit like with NMM: if you have just one flat surface your eyes will catch something odd when turning it but if you have multiple small surfaces in different directions then you can trick the viewer by offering multiple focus and show multiple « correct » reflections even when spinning the piece.. Can’t say if that’s correct nor sure it would make sense to everyone but just my two cents :))
