This is one of the pieces I lit for my Intro to Lighting workshop at td-u.com . Really happy with how this piece came out ; I spent a lot of time really grounding the character to the backplate . Just used standard lighting with no Final Gather or GI ; the compositing itself was done in Nuke.
This was strictly a lighting and compositing project all assets were provided by the workshop which you can find at the links below.
