Well.
I spent a lot of time tweaking the lights, playing with DOF and render settings, adding effects in GIMP... and now I look at it and it looks like I only moved the camera around :rolleyes:

Still, I learnt a lot so I'm posting it anyway:

Oh, trying to direct some light to the eyes without it overlighting her face was proving too hard, so I ended up doing... this:

Beautiful character and scenes. I don't see any problems with it.

The best way to improve is to just keep experimenting. I've played with a ton of settings, a ton of renders. Lots of experimenting, LOTS of failures, but I learned from all of them. There's some great tutorials on youtube on various topics like lighting as well.

Others mentioned the proper way to actually lighting it, but if you're feeling really lazy you can just paint in the eye catch lights in GIMP (since you mentioned already using it). Make a separate layer and put two small white dots where you think they might go, then maybe add some blur/other effects. Probably better to do it in camera/daz, but this can help with unwanted light.

How i understand you bro.
You try to do it beautifully, looking back at the works of the authors from this thread, and you feel sad. What a mess you render dam it?
BUT as DiosDecay said above

The more you work, practice and try out different things the more you will improve.

I totally agree with that. There will be no experience without practice.
Work no matter what. Small or big render, you learn something new and hone your existing skills

It would be cool on the part of more experienced authors to give advice to beginners, collect a few works that caught the eye and give a couple of tips.
I understand that everyone is busy with their own projects and there is no time at all for some youngsters on the forum, but it will add respect :)
Maybe not a suitable thread for this idea, but still show your skill

That would be something right next door to AWESOME !
(but in the end it would be basic tips and instruction)

If i really want some highlight in the eyes sometimes i just manually paint with white in photoshop. It looks good enough and none is going to go pixel hunting when they look at a image. indoor lighting is a real fucking bitch. It annoys me how often these premade interiors have no lighting when this should have been settled in the early stages.
