Character Lighting for Portfolio

[native fiber]

Hi guys, I'm working on the lighting setup for my character in Ue4.
I'm struggling a bit to do something more interesting for my portfolio presentation ,
do you have any suggestion?
thanks

This character looks brutal! I love it! The only thing I miss are few stronger edge/rim lights. You know some really sharp white or blue lights from the back on the sides. This could help your image get much more cinematic feelings.

Update on the lighting @tidal yarrow thanks for your suggestion!

Yeah. But don't loose the contrast. I like the dark version with the rim lights. You need dark if you would like to show some lights. And maybe play more freely and boldly with lights, it worth it.

Maybe a darker glossy reflective floor with some dirt and imperfections on it could help separate/stand out more the character from the BG.

You are right. I think it might be the fog. I might have to add some nicer materials to the background elements too.

I’ll post an update as soon as I have it. Thanks!

Hey there! I’m pretty satisfied with this result, I might have to move on anyway. What do you think?
